I've been going to Eye Care Hawaii for about 3 years now... it's always clean and very welcoming... everybody on the staff... office, technicians, doctor's helpers(?), eye glass people... All friendly, patient and kind. Also very professional and accommodating I'm glad i can be seen by them... Mahalo to everyone at Eye Care Hawaii...I'd recommend them favorably to anyone seeking to notch eye care!
