We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

26 yrs ago I made a mistake I never realized would risk my life. As a transgender woman in the 90’s there was no equal rights & life was very difficult in Indianapolis. I now live in South Florida & life is different. But the silicone injections I had done back then were trying to kill me. Dr Cousins was amazing & Jeanny is a godsend. They took experimental treatment to not carve out my thighs but to use lipo & sonogram to remove the poison. It’s not done yet but no one is better. Trust him I do

Dr. Cousins and his entire team are extremely kind and informative. He didn't just let me come in and tell him what I wanted, took my money and send me under the knife. He took all my requests and reservations into consideration but also spoken with me intensively and advised me of what would be best for my structure and overall end result and appearance.
I would definitely recommend him, I love my new boobs!

As a teacher and sailor, my hands are critical. When I fell and broke my wrist and arm, Dr. Cousins put me back together. It was a nasty compound fracture, but after two surgeries, I was well on my way to healing. After only two months, I was out of physical therapy, and back at work. Dr. Cousins is a dedicated surgeon, with a great bedside manner.

Dr. Cousins was thorough, kind and understanding to my situation. He guided me through the process of the surgery and reassured me various times everything will be just fine. Being my first surgery of any type, I was nervous and uneasy, however, Dr. Cousins put my fears at ease!

Dr. Cousins performed surgery on my hand 6 months ago. He did a very good job explaining thing to me, answering my questions and most importantly with the actual surgery. He even said to me he would treat my hand as if it was his own. I believe he did just that. Thankfully my hand today is as good as one could expect given my injury. I credit Dr. Cousins in large part for the excellent results. I would highly recommend Dr. Cousins to anyone with hand issues or requiring hand surgery.

Dr. Cousins and his team made my broken wrist surgery a less painful and stressful situation than what I could imagine. Dr. Cousins explained everything so well and in detail before surgery and did a great job inserting plates and screws. The scars healed nicely and I am very glad he put me back together with his great bedside manner and smile. The jokes help too. Mercedes is great too, his assistant. Appointments were always on time and I did not have to wait. I felt confident - Great doctor!

Complex hand and wrist surgery on a compound fracture was perfectly executed. My right hand works like a charm again. Doctor Cousins is personable and takes his time to fully explain treatment options and potential outcomes. His staff were always friendly and attentive and appointment times were always punctually honored.
We met by "accident", as Dr. Cousins was on call when I was brought to the ER. I feel very fortunate and grateful to have had him as my surgeon.

If I could give Dr. Cousins 10 stars I would. His professionalism, excellent bedside manner, thorough in explaining my medical condition, and ensuring that I was well attended to, sets him apart from the revolving door feeling one gets when going to the doctor. I was very satisfied with the plastic surgery he performed and would recommend his services. I was also impressed with the professionalism I was treated with by the office staff. I highly recommend Mosa Medspa and Dr. Cousins.
