'Emergency' visit, post surgery I thought my retina detached again. After all the tests concluded it was still attached he set me at ease and was very kind.

Dr. Rouse is truly one of a kind. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt genuinely cared for—not just as a patient, but as a person. He took the time to explain every detail of my eye exam and made sure all my concerns were addressed without rushing through the appointment. His professionalism is matched only by his warmth and compassion. It’s clear that he’s not just doing a job—he’s committed to the well-being of everyone who walks through his door. I left feeling more informed and reassured than I ever have with any doctor. Highly recommend Dr. Rouse to anyone looking for not only top-notch care, but a provider who truly listens.
