“Several years ago Dr. Hollins performed laser procedures on my eyes to fix retinal bleeding and has also reattached my right retina. I experienced only minimal discomfort and am very pleased with the results. I still see him for regular check-ups and he continues to show the same skill and concern that he did during my initial procedures. He is friendly while remaining professional and has made a complex condition easy to understand and manage. If you need a specialist for retina issues I highly recommend Dr. Hollins” -Lawrence

“Explained the improvement in my eye and reminded me to keep taking my prescription for high blood pressure as it was important to the improvement of my eye condition.” -Steve

“Everything was pleasant and explained very well.” -Betty

“He is awesome! The only one I trust with my eyes.” -Michael

Dr. Hollins is extremely competent doctor/surgeon. He takes time to explain the condition, stepsthat will be taken to deal with the condition and the expected outcomes and possible negatives.He is quiet in demeanor, patient, and kind. I couldn’t ask for a better physician. Sometimes (notevery time) the office visits can last two hours, but this is because he doesn’t rush from patientto patient and takes as long as needed to make sure each patient is diagnosed and counseledadequately.” -Lexington Patient
