Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

the waiting time is ridiculous, but the results were more than worth the wait. He doesn't chit chat, very "to the point". Would definitely recommend him for treatment of wet macular degeneration.

My mother used to see Dr. Cousins for eye injections for AMD. Before she could receive the injection, her eye would numbed using an anesthetic. Dr. Cousins would have to be called MULTIPLE times to come and give her the injection. On one occasion, it took so long for Dr. Cousins to show up in the clinic, that additional anesthetic had to be administered. This was the last time my mother saw him.
