Courteous Decosta professional
The wait was long but nobody around me was trying to leave.🤭. Dr. Rouse is thorough. He speaks about my condition in language I understand. He ALWAYS asks about other health con and habits that may impact my eye issues. He patiently answers any questions I have. I leave knowing he’s concerned about my whole health. That’s a great feeling of being cared for that I wish I had with all of my health care providers.
Professional and friendly
Great doctor
Professional Very csting
Dr Rouse is excellent and very personable. The wait times for injections, however, are between 2 and 4 hours. Most of us are old and many are physically impaired making the wait time very difficult.
Efficient & painless 😁
