I want to first start off by saying that Dr. Cobbins is a very nice woman, great bedside manner and very personable. Ill try to be brief. In December of 2019 she preformed an upper blepharoplasty on both of my eyes. My left eye was more droopy than the right and she told me "if you do something to one side, you should do the other," so i opted to do both eyes. After the surgery, my left eye was still lower than the right. I was obviously unhappy and wanted it corrected. 8 months later, she finally saw me for a revision. Well, that didnt go well. She took off too much skin on the left eye and I was back to square one with very uneven eyelids. Fast forward to August 2021. Dr. Cobbins did a 3rd revision and in doing so, scratched my cornea AND left stitches in my eye! Needless to say the scar is horrendous. After a few of the stitches were removed, she put tape on my eye, she did NOT let me see the incision site (as she did the other 2 times) and I was sent on my way and told to take the tape off in 48 hours. 2 days later I took the tape off. My eye was very red, my vision was blurry and my eye would not stop watering. I made an appointment with my eye doctor for the next day. He first removed 2 stitches that were left in and then did an eye exam. I had a corneal abrasion! Dr. Cobbins cut so deep into my eyelid that she scratched my cornea! He prescribed tobramycin for the abrasion and gave me an eye patch. I contacted AIC that Monday letting them know what had happened and asked what they were prepared to do about it.
NOTHING! Thats what. They told me I could come in and have her take a look at it. Do you honestly think that I would have a doctor that just SCRATCHED MY CORNEA give me any medical advice on how my eye is healing? I told them that the right thing to do would be to give me a refund. They told me that I will not be getting a refund and that "my healing time was reasonable within the healing time" THAT MAKES NO SENSE!
AIC is implying that I have an issue with healing time. I HAVE A ISSUE WITH DR COBBINS SCRATCHING MY CORNEA AND PREFORMING SUB PAR SLOPPY WORK!
SO, a word of advice, if youre looking for a doctor that has excellent attention to detail, do NOT let Dr. Cobbins come near your face with a scalpel. Maybe she is ok at preforming body surgery where you can take a little bit off and the patient wont notice, but not on your face. My first warning sign should have been her making multiple jokes about her contacts not being the right prescription and how she knows how it feels not being able to see properly and having irritated eyes. The second warning should have been the 2nd revision, nope, I still went back for more and now I'm paying for it, literally and figuratively. Im giving 2 stars because she is a nice person. read more
