Dr. Elkins is an excellent doctor. He is friendly and experienced. He explores all options with his patients and makes them feel both confident and comfortable in their decisions. I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Elkins and it was actually a wonderful experience. The Freedom Surgery Center where the procedure took place was excellent. The staff at Dr. Elkiins' 2 offices, along with the surgery center are like well-oiled machines. They have great systems in place to take care of their patients. I would and have recommended Dr. Elkins and Ophthalmology Associates to my friends and to my family. More

dr Elkins has been my dr for sometime now I naturally prefer him when things come up concerning my eyes. It doesn't take. away fromthe fact he has surrounded himself with other capable dr's he wouldn't have it any other way. My visit with dr Huynh was equally enjoyableInformative and professional. A true asset to the team of ophthalmologists there. The help provided by the teams that support the dr'swas commendable.. Very helpful and professional. I thank you all......I want to say a few extra words as to my eye care under Dr. Elkins. He to me is wonderful credit to the profession. I knew I had found the right doctor to get me right with my eyes. The cataract surgery restored my eyes to 20/20. I did disappoint him in not making regular visits concerning my eyes thru the years>Sorry about that. You can rely on a more cooperative patient for the future.Thats it........Im am very happy with Ophthalmology Associates ......Number # 1.........thank you....f. Matranga More

Dr. Elkins is THE BEST !! He literally gave me 20/20 vision with cataract surgery and lens implants. I am so grateful. I wore corrective lenses since the age of 12. It’s beyond wonderful that I now have perfect vision. More

Review from E.H.  |  Source: Demandforce  |  Sep 12, 2019

Dr Elkins is very smart. If there is a problem, I feel fully confident that he will identify it and treat it or send me to a specialist who can. This practice is managed well regarding patient thru-put during the office visit and coordination between the medical practice and the optician services. They seem to have the latest diagnostic machines. Dr Elkins displays an intensity that can come off as cold and impatient. Once he starts conversing, he does relax and warm up. I would encourage Dr Elkins to make more small talk with his patients. It would relax him and his patients would feel cared for and listened to which is foundational to a doctor-patient relationship. One other comment - the staff and techs are competent and nice, but like my comment above, they don't come off as friendly at first. I think if they went back to basics: Introduce themselves - (Hello my name is _____ and I am the [their designation]. I am going to [ explain in simple terms what they will do]. And SMILE! From the patient perspective, you are ushered from one room to another quickly with little understanding as to the staff's role in the practice, what they are doing and why, and you do not even know their name. These are simple fixes that can make the pt experience much improved. More
