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.

Patient Focused Doctor
If you’re looking for an eye doctor who is going to take as much time as you need to explain what’s going on with your eyes Dr.Rouse would be a great choice. He follows up from previous visits and shares what the focus of future visits will be. Wait time has impacted greatly.

Dr. Rouse is absolutely the best. I’ve been seeing him for 4 years and I feel that I am in the best of hands with him for my eye injections for AMD.

Dr. Rouse and his team are outstanding.
I routinely visit Dr. Rouse for eye injections. He and his team are always warm and welcoming, efficient, and concerned about my comfort and well-being. Most importantly, his treatment is having a congenial positive impact on my eye and vision. There is some artistry in his decision-making about my treatment schedule, and it is paying dividends. He is a true gentleman and he and his team take a genuine interest in me personally, which makes coming for treatment visits as pleasant as possible. i feel fortunate to be under his care and have benefited greatly from seeing the professionals at Horizon for my glasses prescriptions, cataract surgery, and my ongoing treatment for macular issues.

Friendly knowledgeable effective service
Dr. Rouse and his team have done an excellent job maintaining my Age Related Macular Degeneration. All of the staff is knowledgeable and answers my questions. I'm nearly 98 and we are working toward a common goal of keeping as much of my eyesight clear so I can stay independently living in my own home.
