I had several visits with Dr. Curt Cockings for my child. Dr Cockings advertises himself as a pediatric ophthalmologist. While he may possess the necessary experience and training in pediatric eye diseases, I have some concerns that I believe potential patients should be aware of.Firstly, his ability to interact with children is not as strong as one might hope. I found him to be somewhat impatient, which can be challenging when working with young children. This is particularly important to consider, as many children requirin... read more

Very thorough with exam. Will explain any question you have. He does not rush . You will wait in the beginning to see him: in the end you will understand why. I have no issue with the wait; well worth it.

I never leave reviews but wanted to make a point to leave this doctor one. He was very kid friendly. Validated my concerns as a mom. Spoke to my son with a gentle tone and encouraged him throughout the tests. Hands Down would recommend this doc for anyone needing a pediatric ophthalmologist.

For the purpose of explaining how many doctors I can compare Dr. Cockings to, our two daughters both ended up in glasses within 2 weeks of each other (then, ages 18 months and 4). My older daughter has some pretty rare eye damage that two different pediatric ophthalmologists incorrectly diagnosed as a chronic and ongoing problem we would have to stay on top of and manage. Neither one of those doctors are still in practice in West Texas FYI. We ended up seeing a specialist in Ft Worth and one in Boston, MA during a two year t... read more

Wish we had originally been referred to Dr Cockings. Unfortunately, we were referred to a doctor out of Abilene and changed doctors due to suspecting her not being very knowledgeable for my child’s unusual diagnosis (she is no longer in practice). Went to Texas Tech Eye Physicians and they were too busy to seem to give enough care/concern. Went out of town twice to get info from other specialists and gain information on my daughter’s diagnoses. Landed at Dr Cockings when we decided to leave TTU Eye Physicans and he diagnosed... read more

He is very caring about our 5 year old grandchild. Very patient with the child. Clearly explained the options and gave us literature to use and read afterwards. Very clear about what grandparents are to do before next appointment. His receptionist is extremely friendly and helpful. The office location, parking, and waiting room are totally excellent. We appreciate Dr. Clockings.

My son is 12 and has been going to him since he was 1. Dr. Cockings did surgery on his eyes when he was 1 1/2 and corrected them. He’s amazing. I could send my boy to a regular optometrist now but I will take him to Dr. Cockings from now on. If you want to know, just ask him a question. If you don’t ask, he doesn’t know to answer.He knows what he is doing.
