I have been coming to the Eye Center of Hawaii for awhile now. In the past, when the office was in the Retina Center building, Ernie was the first person I saw. Ernie is an exceptional and likeable employee. He thoroughly explains what test he is about to administer and what the test is about. When viewing the pictures taken of my eye, he explains what the picture shows. He is very courteous; he greets you every time with a smile and even calls us by our names.

I have been going here for 12 years, in Hilo, Kona and Oahu. The doctors and staff are amazing, so friendly, kind and helpful. I like the new location in Hilo, Ernie is amazing, he's very friendly, helpful and explains everything well. Thank you Dr. Bennett and Eye Center of Hawaii.
My husband has been a patient for the past 3 years. Dr. Danforth and Dr. Miller and their staff are commendable for their high competence and personal approach to patient’s care. Ernie, we can’t thank you enough for your superior service.
Excellent service in Hilo. I have had cataract surgery on both eyes in their Honolulu office and have great service in Hilo for my diabetic eye issues. Ernie is great.
Very thorough, very friendly, always ready to help. They really care about you, your whole life, and how it impacts vision. Head and shoulders above the place I went before. Not going to change again, love this place.
