Careless!!! I have been a patient of Dr Cousins for over 20 years as well as my parents. My father went to Dr Cousins with chest pains and shortness of breath. Dr Cousins read his stress test results that showed the test was stopped because his Blood Pressure shot up to 200 and told him it wasn't his heart and was likely cartilage inflammed and to "ignore it". Two days later my Dad goes to the ER with same chest pains and is rushed back for emergency bypass!! He had 99% blockage. Dr Cousins didn't even run an EKG in the office!!! Careless and almost cost my father his life!

Dr. Cousins is extremely knowledgeable. His experience is evident in not only his bedside manner, but in his ability to identify issues accurately and confidently. He takes the time necessary to diagnose, but can also quickly arrive at the correct answer.
