I have been benefiting from Dr Rowe's very thorough exams since his arrival to hilo almost 10 years ago.Yes , he can come across a bit quirkyHOWEVERHe is always interested in getting you the best vision possible. He even found a creative combination of contact lenses that compensate for my astigmatism..This island needs more doctors like him.

I can see again!I'd been struggling with sight and went into to see Dr. Rowe. Very nice man, but the bi-focal lenses he prescribed didn't work.Then he tried something else. And then something else.
