The latest review of Dr. Brian Rose is five years old. Readers of these reviews may want to take that fact into account. Dr. Rose has been my opthalmologist for over 15 years. He is now about 61 years old. I am sure he has fine technical skills. His office has some real problems with providing good written information, such as SIGNED prescriptions that patients can actually TAKE to their pharmacy, or the other alternative: the NAME of the pharmacy where Rose's office would call in prescriptions. All this information was missing from a packet I received as a patient having cataract surgery. I thought the list of meds I did receive would be adequate for a pharmacy. Wrong. They were not signed. There were four different medications involved for the recovery process, which I would call pretty significant in terms of the zero written information on how to obtain them. Ross's office also provided poor written information on lenses and procedures on choosing them. All of these information issues are the responsibility of the physician to correct; however, in this case, the physician seems to have been pretty casual about the quality and level of information provided through his office and staff. To put it bluntly, I have a very hard time believing that the typical opthalmologist, or physician period, can be (or should be) quite THIS casual or careless about the help provided to his patients. It is HIS office, after all. This has been a lousy experience. read more
