“Fantastic and gentle”
I like Dr. Elkins very much and the results I've gotten with him and my cataracts surgery. He's very nice and gentle, and explains my procedures very well. His staff is friendly and they always make it easy for me to make my appointments.Â
I had my cataracts surgery with Dr. Elkins earlier this year and everything was so easy. I was very nervous at first because it was my first time, but Dr. Elkins and his staff made me feel very comfortable. The office staff are excellent, extremely courteous and very knowledgable. My procedure went flawlessly, and I'm very happy with my results.

I've been seeing Dr. Elkins for many years now, and he's always been very helpful. When it came to my cataracts problem, he recommended something I never heard of, the torrec lens. He said it would go beyond my expectations and it really did. My whole experience with Dr. Elkins has been a real love affair. He's wonderful, personal, warm, and passionate.

I have been seeing him for over 10 years, and there is no aspect of his work or his operations that I was not overly delighted with. From the staff to my surgeries, everything was smooth and efficient.

He's wonderful and I would recommend him to anyone who has any kind of eye problems.

I had cataract surgery in both eyes, and believe it or not I didn't realize how blind I was until I had surgery with Dr. Elklins and I could see again. Dr. Elkins did an amazing job of preparing me for the operation. He told me what would happen, he told me it would be painless, as it was. 5 minutes after the operation, when I opened my eyes the difference was night and day. Thank you very much Dr. Elkins.

Dr. E said it would come out perfect and it actually did. I had a bump around the eye because of surfing for over 30 years and he was able to do the surgery around the hinge with no problem.

No wonder Elkins now hires a company (Review Boost)to spam the Internet with positive ratings while suppressing negative ones in an attempt to "manufacture" a good reputation.

My entire family and I have been seeing Dr. Elkins for over 5 years now. I first took my two girls who were in need of glasses before their new school year began. Dr. Elkins not only examined them in a comfortable manner, but we were able to get them contacts and glasses from their office too. The staff is kind and wait times are not bad either. High reccomendations!

He said it would come out perfect and it actually did. I had a bump around the eye because of surfing for over 30 years and he was able to do the surgery around the hinge with no problem.
“Long time patient with Dr. Elkins”
Always a pleasure to go in there. Everyone is very kind, and the staff is always fun. I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially after getting my Lasik done.

Brad Elkins is a doctor without an ounce of integrity or honesty who destroyed my vision and quality of life with imprudent and misguided refractive surgery. Elkins and his staff discovered significant eye disorders, including exotropia and abnormal aqueous tear production, which Elkins failed to openly disclose during exams, but which were revealed only after we obtained copies of medical records. Elkins also failed to report the poor outcome and complications to the FDA as an adverse event. ...

I like Dr. Elkins very much and the results I've gotten with him and my cataracts surgery. He's very nice and gentle, and explains my procedures very well. His staff is friendly and they always make it easy for me to make my appointments.Â
