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.

Excellent service! In and out quick. Great Dr!
Dr Rouse is very thorough! Quick visit and easy to get an appointment!

Been my doctor for 40 years
Dr. Rouse's office is efficient. Hardly any wait time. Staff is always friendly. Dr. Rouse has always been attentive. Whether it's an annual visit or diagnosing illness, I know I can count on him.

Always my Dr.
I've known Dr rouse since I first was a nurse. I will never have another. He very old school. After giving advice, diagnosis ECT he always allows patient to advise him on what works for them. Ol school way....patient knows more about their own body than Dr or nurse.He can be holistic if you'd like. Your money, your bill he is a dang good Dr. Many say he too old but you want new? I don't. I want experience. He can be very blunt with you and walk out. It's your choice.

Terrible Doctor
Absolutely horrible! Does not take any time to listen to any of your concerns. This doctor is simply a quick fix doctor for minor things. He doesn’t care what your concerns are at all and doesn’t even listen to them at ALL! You are rushed through like you are cattle being herded and will be very upset by the end of an appointment that is for sure. I cannot believe TRI- Care allows this doctor to practice under them as he does not have ANY bedside manner not any answer to resolve your health issues at your appointment. He might be at best a basic band-aide/ prescription writing doctor. I would highly discourage anyone from using him. He could learn a lot from his receptionist as she is fantastic and has a very caring attitude but will tell you she id only the receptionist and that does no good when this man is your doctor!!!

If going to be an FAA examiner probably best to read up on new regulations, a HUGE one being Basic Med, and what is covered under it, including special issuances. Would have been fine with his ignorance if he would have taken the time to listen to me and use it as an opportunity to educate himself, but his pride was much too big. The office staff was beyond friendly!

I see Dr Rouse thanks to the Affordable Care Act requires me to see him. It seems about half the time I get a prescription through him the pharmacy can't fill it due to one mistake or another. Then when the pharmacy tries to call to confirm what it is they are gone for the day at noon on a Friday you are just left without medication till Monday. Repeal the ACA now!
