Personal

Dr. Costin was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She went to The Ohio State University and graduated with a degree in Chemistry. Immediately after undergrad, she attended The Ohio State University College of Optometry. Shortly after graduation, she packed up and headed west to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she worked at the Raymond G. Murphy Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center to earn her residency in ocular disease. She has been a medical optometrist for 15 years, focusing on pre and post operative care, glaucoma and retinal care. Outside of work, she loves to be with her rescue dogs, cats, and tortoise (Gary!). She enjoys long distance cycling with her husband and will be attempting her first century ride this fall.

What Our Patients Say

It was a wonderful experience. Everyone from the beginning to end was exceptional! The surgery was quick and painless. During the LASIK surgery, when I was scared, someone sat and held my hand. It was the small things like holding my hand that made the experience so wonderful.

The medical and administrative staff was great. From soup to nuts, everything was very easy. If I had to do PRK again I would definitely choose Denver Eye Surgeons. Love the Allegretto too.

Dr. Kumar's staff held my hand the whole way. I was petrified. But I researched to find the very skilled Dr. Kumar and the very kind assistants who dealt effectively with my fear. My eye sight is better than perfect, now, with NO GLASSES.

I had PRK surgery last year. The surgery was uneventful. But the recovery was slow because of the type of surgery. I was nervous that the procedure hadn't"worked" but everyone at Denver Eye Surgeons kept telling it would be fine - and it was!

The staff was very helpful and informative. Dr. Kumar is very knowledgeable and understanding, easy to talk to and willing to spend as much time as needed answering questions. The procedure itself was a lot easier and quicker than anticipated, and the recovery was easy. Best decision I've made in a long time!
