    Very thorough and was listening intently to my concerns and answered them to my satisfaction.

  • Apr 13, 2026

    The doctor could be nicer about a number of things. He couldn't even help with scheduling glasses and more, I feel he rushes just to see patients. He shows no care about the patient

    Very easy to understand.

  • Nov 14, 2025

    Didn't get any sheet on what was went over or a doctor's note for school. Getting ahold of anyone or contacting is hard in the clinic regarding this

    My wife was with me and we are very pleased with our visit

    The doctor was an excellent listener and thoroughly addressed our concerns.

  • Jul 30, 2025

    They are the ultimate in health care

  • Jul 02, 2025

    I was very disappointed with this appointment. The doctor seemed extremely rushed, and had not looked at the records that were sent to him prior to my daughter's appointment, so he was unaware of what was going on. Then when I tried to tell him the situation, he talked over me and didn't listen. The entire appointment felt super rushed and I didn't feel like we were given a good recommendation upon leaving.

  • Jun 24, 2025

    My experience with Dr. Halawa left me feeling disappointed and unheard. I do not feel that my symptoms were not taken seriously.I was referred by my optometrist to a neuro-ophthalmologist for a specific set of symptoms, but Dr. Halawa quickly dismissed them as they weren't occurring at the time of the appointment and he couldn't observe them directly - and as such were not a cause for concern. I felt brushed off and that I was not taken seriously.

  • Jun 12, 2025

    I will not be coming back or recommending this dr to anyone. He was very rude and condescending when discussing treatment plans. He did not listen to my concerns. I was very dissatisfied with his care.

  • May 21, 2025

    Dr. Halawa was very thorough with his examination. When he saw something unexpected, he called in another physician to assess it. I was there over 3 hours, but a diagnosis was made.

  • Apr 21, 2025

    I value Dr. Halawa's medical examination and advice with the vision problems I am having.

  • Apr 15, 2025

    I would recommend these people anytime

    Good visit informative Caring

  • Jan 10, 2025

    He was very thorough with reviewing the notes and pictures of my daughter's eyes. He included her in the conversation and asked her questions about how she felt. He also conducted his own review of her eye movements and vision limitations. He put my mind at ease through his medical explanation of her diagnosis. We are grateful for the care he provided!

    Extremely well qualified

  • Nov 20, 2024

    Doctor came into the room and spent 4 or 5 minutes looking at his computer ( I am guessing he was looking at test results). Then said everything looked stable . He then did a visual exam of my eyes and said everything looked stable.

  • Nov 10, 2024

    Dr Halawa is very personable
