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.

My eyes are in the best care of the Carolinas
I have been going to Dr. Rosen since 2007 because I have cornea replacements. When I got the surgery in 2006, I was told they would probably reject in 15 years. It's now 2025, and because Dr. Rosen has taken such good care of me, my corneas are still in tact.

First Visit
We were recommended by our eye doctor to see Dr. Rosen for cataracts that my father currently has.The appointment was incredible thorough. They took their time. Dr. Rosen explained the situation and the degree to which my father cataracts have advanced to. He spoke plainly and was compassionate. We are setup with an appointment for the removal of the worse cataracts which will require a more skilled surgery due the thickness of the cataracts.My father remarked several times on the way home how much he appreciated Dr. Rosen not sugar-coating anything.

Caring and Knowledgeable Ophthalmologist
Dr. Rosen takes his time examining my eyes and making sure my vision is good. He recently improved my vision with cataract surgery. It’s amazing how well I can see now!

Absolutely would recommend Dr Rosen!
It’s a busy practice, but they work as fast as they can with the amount of patients they are seeing and treat you like you are the only person they are taking care for! They also will return calls if you have questions fairly quickly. It’s an amazing practice!

Dr. Rosen is one of the best eye docs in the Carolinas. He is dedicated, stays up-to-date, and is to be trusted. I have Fuchs, have had many other past eye surgeries, making a necessary corneal transplant all that more difficult. I'm happy to report that 60-days post surgery all is as expected. I couldn't ask for a better doc.

This is my second review of Dr. Gerald Rosen for another surgery on my right eye. Dr. Rosen performed a Triple DMEK transplant and IOL on my right eye in December of 2017. The surgery was a complete success. I went from a constant foggy vision to crystal clear within days after surgery for Fuchs Dystrophy. When the original surgery date was canceled due to a lack of donor corneas he went out of his way and made time to finish my surgery prior to the new year. If I could give 100 stars I would.

Highly advise against letting Dr Rosen or horizon care anywhere near your eyes. I unfortunately went in to see this Dr with a simple night driving glare concern. Was led like a sheep to the slaughter to have a superficial TPK laser treatment to my cornea. I came out with destroyed vision in my left eye. Fortunately he only did this to one eye. After multiple failed attempts to get some help to fix the problem and not even a single returned phone call or email I have no choice but to go public.
