In my opinion, Dr. Brad Elkins should not be permitted to practice medicine. Although I signed a consent form for an FDA-approved surgical procedure as well as discussed my concern that everything about the procedure be FDA-approved, Elkins deliberately, and without my consent, used his equipment in a manner that is neither approved by the FDA nor by the manufacturer and he, consequently, damaged my eyes. During follow-up visits, not only did Elkins fail to confess that he performed my procedure in an off-label manner, despite my direct questioning regarding the matter, but he also was reluctant to admit that he decentered the refractive treatment in BOTH of my eyes (even though proof that he did so was glaringly obvious and later confirmed by two other physicians). His unconscionable and inexcusable actions were matched only by his arrogance and blatant disregard for honesty and adherence to ethical standards that one should expect from those in the medical profession.
Cons: Deceitful, dishonest, unconscionable
