I have been seen at Howerton Eye Clinic for several years and the staff and physicians have always given me excellent care. From front desk personnel to the health care providers, the level of care is excellent and exemplary. Thanks Howerton Eye Clinic!

Had a great visit the other day. Dr. Kelly did a good job in my eye exam and gave me a thorough explanation of what he looked for. I was in and out in less than an hour and no wait time.

Kristen Howthorne and the rest of the employees were wonderful to me..Very Professional..

Dr howerton is awesome she dose such a great job. I recommend a morning appt. beside having a afternoon appt. kinda slower so it takes longer. Overall a great place.

When I made the initial appt. I asked about where the surgery was done for cataracts. The person said we have an operating facility behind us for our surgeries. Later I found out due to my insurance, I now have to go across town -which is NOT convenient. I am going to request a letter of reconsideration from Dr. Hawthorne for my insurance company - but I not sure that will help.

All my questions were answered; staff and doctors were kind and considerate. Thank you!

Friendly prompt service and thorough testing and evaluation.

As usual great professional service from Dr. Hawthorne and all her staff. A special thanks to Maria who I truly enjoyed conversing with and very kind professional service.

I was very pleased as always by the way I'm treated at this clinic. I really appreciate the great service that I receive. Thank you

you guys did and always do an awesome job, and recommend Howerton eye clinic to everyone thanks

Dr Kelly and all the Howerton staff are always great.

Excellent as always!

I highly recommend Howerton Eye Clinic for eye care. I was able to get an appointment when I needed needed it. All the staff were friendly and professional. The nurse I saw was very helpful in explaining what she was doing and why she was doing it. The doctor I saw was very competent and examined my eyes thoroughly and gently. And, I was not kept waiting forever in the waiting room! I am very happy to have found Howerton Eye Clinic.

Fantastic Dr. Hawthorne is so knowledgeable and has such a great personality. She makes me feel comfortable and tells me how my eyes are doing. All of the associates are so friendly and helpful. Great office!

I have been a patient of the Howerton Eye Clinic for many years. I love the attention and care provided not to mention the wonderful ophthalmologists who treat patients with such care.

As always the staff was very personable and professional. I would recommend Dr Hawthorne to my friends and have. She is a great doctor and removed one of my cataracts already. When the next one acts up she will be my doctor of choice to remove it.

Excellent care by the whole staff, starting with the receptionist the nurses and of course the doctor. Looking forward to next Wednesday doing it again to make sure that I was right with my first appraisal!!

Having read on Yelp that long wait times were a problem, I came to my appointment with a negative expectation. I’m happy to say you all wowed the socks off me. LaMadric could be your poster child for caring professionalism. I was direct, assertive, and nosy. Nothing threw him. My payment questions were handled by the front office staff in a kind and respectful manner. I appreciated hearing Dr. Kelly’s examination findings spoken, unedited, to the woman assisting him. It opened the opportunity for me to learn more about my condition. I’ll be back for additional treatment.

I always have an excellent experience at Howerton Eye Clinic. This was my third annual diabetic eye exam, which is very important to me. I chose Dr Hawthorne,two years ago and I remain impressed with her excellence. Your staff is very efficient, and very courteous. The upgrades in technology have made my visit even easier. Thank you!

Everyone was courteous and there was very little waiting.

Friendly, informative staff, I love my Dr. Kelly; very helpful people!

At Howerton Eye Clinic I have feel in good hands for YEARS! THANKS to Dr Kristine and every one in my visit yesterday...!!!

I was waited on quickly and served promptly.

Good visit. Well served by Lamadric and Dr. Kelly.

As always, Howerton made what could easily be a frustrating experience one that I was at ease, and actually promptly attended to. Dr. Hawthorne, is a heaven send, and I enjoyed the service provided by the assistants. The staff is efficient and makes one feel that they are valued. Thank you. Antranetta Tolbert

Dr Kelly and his ancillary staff were excellent; professional, instructive, communicative, efficient, compassionate... Highly recommend Dr. Kelly

Good visit. Kristen did good with eye contact with me as a patient while interpreter signed to me. I tried to place my eye contact with Kristen when I signed my messages.

Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. They seem to truly enjoy helping people who are there for their health issues. The front desk staff, nurses, and doctors are all a pleasure to work with.

Dr. Hawthorne is the best!

I really enjoy going to see Dr Kelly every year. He has a great bedside manner and I feel that he has my best interests in mind. The staff is always courteous and efficient The wait time was not as long as usual.

Was seen on time, and Dr. Desai was very nice!

I have seen Bhumi Desai several times and feel she does an outstanding job. She is very professional, thorough, friendly and answered all of my questions.

Even though your waiting room was full of people when I arrived there was a constant flow of taking patients back. There was a lot I had to do for my exam and each technician/nurse/scheduler was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Good job!

Good experience with technical staff support. They were courteous and professional. Service was done in a timely manner. Dr. Kelly was a professional and courteous. Provided great service. Than You.

Had a great visit with Dr. Desai. Very patient and professional.

No wait time at all, staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Kelly is sympathetic and knowledgable about dry eye syndrome, more than others I have seen.

Always courteous!!!! Always friendly!!! Always listening!!! Thanks

Dr. Kelly is an intelligent physician and great communicator who built my confidence in him at the first visit.

My experience at Howerton has always been very pleasant one. Dr. Kelly has really taken very good care of my vision, and he is a very caring and Doctor.

Very pleasant personnel. Everything went well except the 45 min waiting before getting called .

The Southwest Medical Village on Eiger Road is the Howerton office I use to have my yearly eye exam. The office staff and technicians are very professional and efficient. I am usually seen promptly at my appt time. They explain what they are doing and why, at the same time making sure I am comfortable. Dr. Hawthorne has a great chairside manner. She answers any questions I might have and offers suggestions, if needed.

Very nice and well informed about my eye condition

All staff members are kind and Compassionate.

I was pleased to have the doctor listen and allow my 'druthers' to count.

Seen on time. Dr. Hawrhorne spent time listening and answering my questions..staff very pleasant and knowledgeable in answering insurance questions. I have been a long time patient.

Appointment for exam with Dr. Hawthorne was right on time. Great service, competent personnel, and Dr. Hawthorne is attentive, thorough, engaging and easily understood. She goes out of her way to make you feel important and cared for. Highly recommend.

Always a wonderful and professional experience with Dr. Hawthorne and staff.

I have been going for years and the staff is always professional, friendly and very helpful. The nurses are professional and very knowledge. Doctor Scott Kelly is very professional and attentive with his patients. He ensures his patients understand what is going on during their visit. Would definitely recommend this office to others.

Dr. Hawthorne, as usual, discovered my vision issue immediately. I'm very appreciative and thankful she knows exactly the solution.

My experience with Howerton Eye Clinic was excellent. The counter staff as well as the Doctor were excellent in their appearance; as greeters and very skilled in their duties and their communication was very pleasant and easy to understand. I would recommend this office to any of my friends in the near future.

My eye exam & review of my future surgery costs were efficient & professional.

Good visit. Dr. Kelly is an exceptional physician. He is easy to talk to and explains everything in a clear and understanding way.

Super job. Very happy with the care I received from Dr. Kelly😇

Dr. Torres is very gentle and patient with me. That made the visits pleasant. I would recommend her to anyone.

Thanks. Great Doctor surrounded by really competent frat people.

Dr. Kristen Hawthorne is very knowledgable ; patient and caring, She is very detailed in her approach and gives you all the attention and time you need . Very very delighted with her professional outlook Thank you Ash Chabra

Front desk staff member was friendly and helpful. The assistant was professional and friendly. Dr. Kelly was professional and very helpful in explaining the diagnosis and possible causes. He was very good. No waiting time, very punctual. I appreciate that and everyone's part in my visit. Thank you so much.

Dr. Hawthorne diagnosed a retinal tear in my left eye. Despite the late hour she got me to a retina specialist who could see me and get me on the OR schedule for the next day. Dr. Hawthorne has saved that eye twice: when I got shingles and this retinal tear. She took care of my cataracts and put in implanted lenses. I now see the world again! The staff at Howerton is beyond wonderful. They are friendly, knowledgable and efficient. They are great at scheduling, followups, insurance billing--you name it!

I was treated well. Had a good report from my Dr. Many smiles. Thank you

As always treated and results are always easy to understand. Everyone is very pleasant. Thank You!

My experience with the staff at the Kyle Office is great! They are so kind and friendly. The most outstanding is Dr. Hawthorne, she is patient and very kind. She has the ability to read her patients well and she is outstanding. I had eyelid surgery and she did an outstanding job and I have enjoyed her personality.

I have had great care with DR. Kelly .He is always on time and takes time to examine me well . GREAT DOCTOR !

Friendly, thorough assistance throughout my appointment. Even got an eye exam with prescription despite not coming in for this reason- thank you. Only issue was discovered upon leaving... my eyes were so dilated I could barely drive myself away, even with my sunglasses. That was a safety hazard and I should have been provided special coverage. Not sure if it was a mistake or what, but my eyes were dilated still when I went to bed at 11 pm.

Everyone were very courteous and very professional it may me feel very relaxed in other words y’all are a great team.

It was a good experience all around. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and professional. Thanks for everything!

Dr. Berkowitz is so professional always showing such attention to his patients. I hope the clinic realizes and appreciates how great he is. He truly has concern for his patients. A GREAT asset. NAM

NEVER felt SO good any other place than HOWERTON Eye Clinic. Since Dr Howerton's great times...!!! Dr. Kristin makes me feel "in Mom's hands"! THANKS Dr! "one day I will remember your last name, sorry!" and THANKS for your time and sweetness...!!! ♥ Leticia

Every one was very warm,friendly, kind, helpful, informative and considerate. IT was a great appointment visit.

Wonderful experience as always. Would recommend to everyone who appreciates Professional and exceptional care.

My cataract surgery went very well, each interaction at the Kyle and Austin facilities was managed efficiently and professionally. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

Dr. Hawthorne answered and explained all of my questions.

Good job THANKS

Very satisfied with my eye surgery! Dr. Hawthorne is very professional, and her staff very nice!

The medical staff was very friendly and did their best to make me feel comfortable. Dr. Hawthorne has excellent bedside manners; she is very thorough when explaining any medical procedure and goes a step beyond to allure any fears the patient may be experiencing. I have always been very satisfied with the medical services at Howerton Eye Clinic.

Everything there was great. The Doctor and Nurses were very caring and professional. The wait time was very shot. I would recommend it to any one.

Dr. Scott Kelly is a terrific, professional and highly skilled physician. He conducted cataract surgery and provided the appropriate lens where another Dr. had not. He also is a friendly person and answers all your questions. I highly recommend him for cataract surgery and follow-up.

All staff are very personable and efficient. The only negative was that I wasn't seen until a half hour after my appointment time on my last visit.

Service was provided on time. Staff technicians were friendly and courteous and professional. As usual Dr. Kelly was a professional. Thank you. See ya on my next appointment.

Staff was friendly and efficient, as was Dr. Kelly. I was completely satisfied with the professional treatment and attitude.

I've seen another Dr for years and he wasn't as proactive. I feel very good about the switch and look forward to finally getting something done about my vision problems.

You were very caring and professional in the examination. Everything was explained and easy to understand. I would recommend Howerton Eye Clinic to anyone. Thank you and I will be seeing you in a few weeks.

Your Awsome

I was seen promptly and well treated. Amelia Mettke

I am always pleased with the professional staff, especially Dr. Scott Kelly, at the Howerton Clinic both at the Kyle and off 35 frontage road in Austin. Dr. Scott conducted cataract surgery on one of my eyes and my eyesight has improved immensely, unlike surgery conducted on my other eye by another Dr. I will continue to see Dr. Kelly in the future.

My visit was very satisfactory from the short wait to be called, through the entire examination, and a quick check at the outgoing desk. I continue to be completely satisfied with your service.

Everyone did a great job. We like Dr. Hawthorne. All the assistants as well. Thanks.

Dr. Kelly is personable and thorough. Reception staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very profession and personal. I feel so comfortable and have any and all questions answered. Visits are on time and in no time, I'm on my way. Dr. Kelly and staff, THANKYOU!

My appointment was right on time and Dr. Hawthorne was fantastic. She is always so friendly and very professional. I appreciate everything she has done for me. All of the staff is very friendly and courteous.

The iPad given to me had little or no volume and I was unable to adjust it. I was unable to get back to the screen without a passcode. Unfortunately I was unable to view the entire info about the procedures and options.

Awesome experience!

Excellent customer service. The Kyle office was very clean, I didn’t have to wait too much to see the doctor. I am happy to have this staff helping with my eye care.

Excellent in care staff at southwest office, Dr. Kelly is the best, however setting an appointment through the main number is and always has been a terrible experience. My appointment yesterday was not on the list when I arrived, although I repeated the date and time back to the phone person. This is not the first time this has happened!

Every time I go to Howerton Eye Clinic everyone are very professional and friendly . They treat you like guest that would come to their house .Very friendly people .

Very very happy with Dr. K Hawthorne Ash

I love Dr. Hawthorne. She is fantastic! The quality of care and professionalism is confidence building as well. However, every single time I go the office has booked too many appointments at the same time. Yesterday my appointment was at 10:30. I finally saw the Dr at 11:55. I was almost late to work because of this delay. If this was a one time thing it would be ok but it's every time. Hate to change providers because I totally trust my eye care to Dr. Hawthorne but being kept waiting so long everytime is getting old and annoying.

Entire staff was very friendly and professional from the time I arrived until when I left.

Good morning, As always services provided by all were highly satisfactory and of course with extreme professionalism. My thanks to Dr. Hawthorne and the entire team, Joe

The staff at Howerton Eye Clinic at the Kyle location are professional and courteous. My appointment was with Dr Hawthorne, whom I trust highly with my eyes.

My experience with Howerton is usually a pleasant experience for a Dr.'s appointment. From the receptionist to the technicians, to the doctors, I am usually made to feel that I am important. thank you.

I feel very relieved. I have had diabetes for 21 years, so my annual diabetic eye exam is important to me. I had first selected Dr K. Hawthorne as my eye doctor because of her extensive credentials. This is my second visit with her. The staff was great, getting me out in less than one hour. Dr Hawthorne did a very thorough exam and announce that I have no diabetic eye disease. We discussed my possible future eye health needs and Dr Hawthorne answered all of my questions. She also provided some information that I could take home. I left feeling very reassured about my eye health and my eye care. Thank you!!!

The front office staff, including the optical shop, were very helpful and friendly, and Dr. Kelly is thorough and professional, answering all my questions. I can't say the same for Mitchell, who was brusque and gave me wrong information about what the office could provide as to glasses measurements, which Dr. Kelly corrected. Sorry I can't provide a totally positive review.

The customer service was great the dr listened to my problem and assisted me well

THANKS...!!!

Exceptional team at the Eoger Road Officer From the receptionist to the Dr Hawthorne’s assistant to Dr Hawthorne. I was seen promptly by a professional team who conveys care and concern. Of the physicians I see in Austin I rate Dr Hawthorne and her team in the 99th percentile

Just like a year or so ago the eye check up was great with a great staff. My insurance is Medical and Tricare, however I was required to pay a little over 19 dollars. Can you email me why I was required to pay this amount. In past visits I was not required to pay any thing. Thanks Martin Keefer@hotmail.com

Many years have passed since my last eye exam. I felt that experience was excellent but Mondays exam was absolutely incredible. There was a more extensive testing. And a warmer more calming attention paid to me. SO....I have nothing but the highest praise for the new patient procedures. I am so glad to have found Howerton Eye Clinic. An entire lifetime of eye exams at other places and now I have found a eye clinic home. Thank you all, Walter Russi

A little long wait but quickly process through tests

Also nice ,do show they care ,also on time , will Recommend Thk u

Excellent staff, physician and processes.

Courteous receptionist. Staff was very helpful and polite. Very little waiting time. Overall a good experience.

DR kelly is my doctor at Howerton, he is very attentive to all my needs. He always smiles, and his nurses or always totally professional . Very excellent Doctor .

Thank you see so much for ur patience with me and my wife. Dr Kelly. We will always go to you. My wife desided to get her surgery next year. We will see u then again thank you for the experstice and quality of service.. God Bless!!

Thank you Dr. Kelly for helping to heal my eye problem. The staff was professional, the facilities state of the art, and the interior a pleasant atmosphere. I can "see" why you all are so successful - keep up the good work you're doing!

My experience was very pleasant because the staff and doctor were very profession

Excellent customer service from all of the staff. Every member I interacted with was very courteous and extremely professional. My appointment was kept on time and I didn't have to wait - I appreciate your staff making my visit a wonderful experience..

After seeing 5 ophthalmologists, who told me there was nothing that could be done for my problem and that I would have chronic inflammation of my iris forever, I found compassionate and intelligent doctors at the Howerton Clinic who diagnosed my condition and implemented the correct protocol. Thank you.

Howerton Eye Clinic is great. They gave me an appointment very soon to see the doctor. I'm very pleased with Doctor Kelly and Doctor Torres. I highly recommend Howerton Eyeclinic.

Office very clean, staff all friendly. Dr Hawthorne is very conscientious and very personable. She does not rush you and takes the time to answe your questions.

Y'all are GREAT! I'm so happy at Howerton and Dr. Scott Kelly, the staff, and the great work they do. Thank y'all so much and I continue to come with scheduled appointments. Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸🍻🎉

Greeted by the receptionist. Seen on time by my doctor who performed a thorough eye exam and provided feedback. Howerton Eye Clinic is an exceptional team of caring professionals.

As my mother's son and live-in caregiver, I found the recent visit to the Howerton Eye Clinic to have been a caring, and professional experience. The front office staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful in every way. The medical assistants seemed knowledgeable, competent, and displayed a professional demeanor throughout our visit. Dr. Torres was friendly, and personable when meeting my mother and me for the first time. She also put us both as ease with her warm personality. Dr. Torres displayed outstanding knowledge of the medical issue(s) which brought us to her clinic. She asked relevant questions, and sought to understand our concerns. She was patient and displayed outstanding listening skills. In essence, I feel fortunate to have been referred to the Howerton Eye Clinic, and I am confident in building a positive doctor-patient relationship.

good experience very good care

Friendly service and staff

The staff was professional and courteous and obviously capable and competent. The doctor was knowledgeable and helpful. I WOULD, however warn new patients that you have limited parking available and give instructions on how to find alternate parking at the time their appointment is booked. I spent a good 15-20 minutes simply trying to park my vehicle.

No complaints at all about Dr. Hawthorne and the rest of the staff in Kyle. I adore them all and I am very grateful for their care. However, I would hope the practice could pay some attention to the physical environment in South Austin. The surgery waiting room is dim and small, with a very dour person on the front desk and loose standards for cleanliness. For example, at one of my visits, someone had brought their dog into the very small waiting room. I am not allergic, but my husband is. Even without being allergic, I had concerns about danders and dirt. I'd really like to see that area brightened and cleaned up to reflect the good quality of the surgical care. Thanks for the opportunity to give this feedback in support of your facility's diligence in providing good medical care.

I really appreciate the great care i’ve received from Dr. Hawthorne and the entire staff. Other than the small waiting room in the south Austin office, I have no complaints, just high praise.

Great service from time I arrived til I left! Very professional and friendly!!!

Appreciated prompt and professional service from all staff. Little wait time and enjoyed the Canyonland video while waiting.

Thankfully, everyone that served us at Howerton was cheerful and accommodating during my visit. That really helps in putting me at ease and gives me confidence in my care takers.

As always great care

Excellent experience with my appointment. Staff was friendly and professional. Will be back! Thank you!

My appointment was for the annual examination. The examination was with Dr. Hawthorne. She administered my cataract surgery 1 year ago. As always, she is very thorough and patient. She answered all of my questions and I was very pleased that the examination was very positive. I'm in the process of referring my brother to Dr. Hawthorne for his cataract surgery.

Good customer services and very strait to the point

Everyone was courteous and everything went well with the surgery. The post surgery info re: the frequency of the prescribed eye drops was inaccurate - I was informed of the correct instructions by the Dr. at the follow-up appt. the next day.

The receptionist was exceptionally patient and helpful. The technician was thorough and very personable. Dr. Kelly was as always patient and informs you on how your eyes are doing with clear and concise information. He shows compassion and great patience with me so as to make sure I understand what my part in my care is necessary. I feel that putting my eyes in his care is a good decision. I highly recommend Dr. Kelly and would suggest him to anyone.

Had my second cataract surgery a week ago today and I am so grateful for such incredible results! The joy of seeing with such crispness and vibrant color is stunning! I have suffered no discomfort from either surgery; my third eye is jealous... Thank you Howerton Eye Clinic!

Great Job , very professional .

I have been a patient at Howerton Eye Clinic since moving to Austin four years ago. They are a highly professional (and genuinely nice) group of people. Their care is the best. If you want only one group to take care of your eyes, long term, this is the one- Howerton Eye Clinic.

I was so happy with the exam and the courteous, professional, and friendly attention of the staff members. Dr. Scott Kelly made me feel comfortable; his explanation of my diagnosis was excellent and understandable. I'm very happy with Howerton Eye Clinic.

Very friendly staff. Always feel comfortable during office visits.

Very courteous and professional

Dr. was very thorough in exam. Assistant with initial exam efficient.

I’m glad I saw Dr. Kelly for a second opinion. My eyes feel a lot better. Thank You

Dr. Torres is thorough and efficient!!

I called for an appt one day , got in the next day . As a new glasses wearer, I felt I needed my presc checked ... they rechecked my vision , w / and will my glasses ... made sure my glasses fit and aligned correctly . Great service !!

Very satisfied.

Except for the initial wait times, all aspects of my visits are perfect.

Service technician was very sufficient, answered all my questions, very polite! Thank you AT&T for the service you have provided for us for so many years!

Great at scheduling appts, arranging to get paid for both cataract surgerys. I have requested (3 times) with some runaround, to get the warranty card for the intraocular lense, for left eye. I last spoke with Michele, who told me it had been mailed. Have not received. My take , as a business owner of over 30 years, is that if it doesnt relate to making money, its at the bottom of your priority list. Poor service after the sale.Outside of that I can see much better, Dr. Kelly and staff were excellent.

always a great visit with Dr Hawthorne. I have always been so grateful to Dr. Hawthorne for the cateract surgery. I can see without glasses.

Everything was fine, except for the wait time. I was told to come back at 1 pm and ended up having to wait an hour. The doctor was held up at another office. I'm sure it was unavoidable, but I was not a happy camper. Other than that I liked the doctor and the thorough eye exam. It seems to me that the office should have more doctors present at this location.

The staff are well informed and very helpful.

Howerton Eye Clinic I highly recommend for everyone to go and have all of your eye issues taken care off.

My husband and I are very appreciative of all staff and our wonderful doctor , Dr Kristen Hawthorne. We are always taken good care off while we are there. Everyone is courteous with a smile. Even though the office might be filled with patients the staff never wavers. We love going there we feel like family awaits us. Thank you staff and Dr Hawthorne.

Friendly. Knowledgeable

Excellent staff at the SW location. Doctor was kind and knowledgeable.

Everyone at Howerton Eye Clinic is nice and professional, Dr. Hawthorne is awesome! She completely puts one at ease by her calm demeanor and her exceptional knowledge. I was so nervous and everyone there was truly great!

Dr. Kelly is a great eye doctor 2 thumbs up

Very courteous and professional

Thank you Dr. Ruiz - you were so polite, made me feel comfortable, explained everything to me. Dr. Ruiz and office employees were all very helpful, would highly recommend them at Howerton Eye Clinic

Terrific aquarium! Every person that I needed to talk with was pleasant and professional. I was more than nervous and everyone helped me feel comfortable. Thanks to all that helped me.

Technician was qualified and did a good job testing and answering questions. Dr. was very competent and personable.

A great experience - friendly, knowledgeable staff, attention to detail, anxiety free process. Thank you!

Was shocked at the price of a pair of glasses at the other optical location. Unbelievable at $695 dollars......still can’t believe it.

Dr. Torres @ Howerton Clinic has been God sent. The exams & preventive treatment i have received from her is nohing short of excellent!!!! Also, Dulce is always pleasant, welcoming and goes beyond her front-desk duties to assist the patients. I am so grateful! Thank you Howerton for providing such great professionals.

After seeing 6 opthalmologists, Dr Scott correctly diagnosed my problem. Feeling relief finally 1 1/2 years after first cataract surgery. Thank you.

The office was well staffed an I was taken care of very promptly an efficiently an The doctor was very thorough.

We have been to Howerton for the past 5+ years. Our appointments are mostly at the Kyle location. Love the doctor we see! He is professional and personable. The technicians are excellent! However, after several visits, the receptionist continues to be cold and unapproachable.

Very on time....pleasant employees

I was very relieved when I was in a critical situation with my eye, I was able to get in to see a doctor at the location I preferred within an hour! I left understanding something about my diagnosis and feeling good about the treatment. I have repeatedly had great service and care over the past year. Thank you!

Very courteous and professional

Doctor Hawthorne is great. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly. She puts me at ease. Facility is very clean. Staff is friendly.

Before I came to see Dr Kelly, I had been examined for 5 or 7 years for a condition of my eyes. Nobody caught what he caught and nobody fixed it but him. Thank you Dr Kelly!

Went pretty efficiently this time. Didn't have to wait long.

Dr Hawthorne and her staff were very polite and caring. She asked questions and listened to what I told her. She tried her best to help me and scheduled a follow-up with someone else for a second option.

I'm very pleased with the way my cataract surgery went. I never realized how badly the cataracts had impacted my vision. I didn't realize what I was missing after until my first surgery when I could compare the vision difference between the two eyes. Dr. Kelly & all of his staff were very knowledgeable, professional & kind. I had a very positive experience!

We began on time with several back-to-back, crisp testing (my nurse never left my side to keep it going and was an asset for me to ask questions). I saw a new doctor that day who was well informed with my years of eye history. A follow-up appointment was scheduled with-in weeks.....not months like I have been experienced elsewhere.

The experience was the best.A warm greeting,very professional.

I had to wait 30 minutes past my appointment time before I was seen.

Service was Great thank you

The only thing I could even begin to complain about was, the wait was a little long in a small room. Other than my visit was great.

You been very nice and helpful

every thing was great the wait time was a little long other wise it was a great visit thanks to the staff and the doctors

You guys are the best!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff

The appointment was timely. I did not have to wait a long time to be seen by the Doctor.

Everyone I came in contact with was exceptionally competent, and wonderfully polite and fun to work with! It was a great experience!

Thumbs up for my first time visiting your location. I was very satisfied with the customer service I received, the staff I came in contact with were very professional and helpful, I would and will recommend your location to my friends. Thank you,

Thank you Dr. Kelly Taking the time to see me in such a short time. The respectionist who took her time to make me feel comfortable. Great place. And also the staff is wonderful.

2nd eye refraction was far superior compared to the first pass. We liked Dr. Torres a lot! Equate (Walmart) eye vitamin basically the same as the suggested AREDS-2 branded for far less COst!

Caring group of medical professionals

Loved Dr. Hawthorne and the staff! Wait time was too long-almost an hour-before I was called to exam room. Also, please update the online patient forms. The medical form is English not there-has another form where medical form should be. I filled out the Spanish form (luckily my hisband is bilingual) instead. Overall, I really liked the experience.

Love the staff!!!! Very professional!!! Hate ALWAYS having a long wait. What's the point of a 2:30 appointment if you don't get seen until 3:30??

I would have given a 5 star but the wait was a little long this time

It was nice not having to wait for an extended time. Laser focal check up was ok.

The person who first took me back did not tell me her name or what we were doing-just 'ok, come with me' each time. Would of like more info. Dr. Hawthorne was professional and friendly. Also, would of liked to know if eyes were same or different than prescription.

Fast, pleasant, very helpful

Doctor and staff are friendly, efficient, and informative.

I was concerned about my eyes and now I am at ease after going to have them checked.thank you

Comfortable waiting room, pleasant front desk receptionist and eye exam was thorough but quick.

Great staff and friendly atmosphere.

It was a very pleasant experience everyone was nice and courteous

Dr. Hawthorne and staff in Kyle were awesome.

Staff is helpful, patient, polite, and willing to answer or find answers to questions or concerns patients may have.

In all my visits to Howerton, I have been impressed by the friendly and caring behavior of all the staff. They know their stuff, and are ready to explain things we are concerned about. The waiting room is comfortable with plenty of magazines and a TV that plays travel movies instead of noisy junk. Always a nice experience to be there.

As expected, the visit was most pleasurable. The greeting staff was extremely courteous. The technicians made you feel very comfortable, and of course, Dr. Hawthorne was ON POINT. Even though I feel that the in-between waits can be time -consuming, I love the aquarium. It is so relaxing and calming. I am very pleased to have Howerton as my clinic.

Great experience with Dr. Hawthorne on my cataract removal and IOL replacement. Very pleased and happy with my much improved vision.

Everyone was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very pleasant to be around. It made an eye exam enjoyable!

People were friendly, efficient and prompt

Dr. Kelly and staff are awesome! I've been going to the Kyle location for over two years, and every visit has been Five Stars. Keep doing what you're doing.

Excellent professional care and customer service

Friendly office staff, great customer service, and Dr. Hawthorne was very thorough with her examination.

Dr. Desai seemed very thorough.

Excellent overall experience.

Super people. Super care. Thanks

I'm happy with my experience at the clinic. Everyone was very polite and patient with me. Staff is experienced and professional. Wait time for Dr. however, was close to 45 minutes. Another elderly patient was waiting for close to 1 hour.

It was a please experience.

As always, Howerton provided me with excellent service. The only downside was finding out that Dr. Berkowitz will be limiting his services to people who do not have the resources for good eye care. He was my mother's eye doctor, and I chose him as my eye doctor when I aged into Medicare because he was so good to her. However, I look forward to dealing with Dr. Hawthorne in the future. Her reputation is very good.

I am always pleased to receive care from Howerton staff in Kyle, TX, especially from Dr. K. Hawthorne.

Howerton Clinic is the best and always has been!!

I received a very good attention

Excellent & informative visit with Dr 'H'.

Excellent except for the waiting.

Although there was a 15 minute wait after my check in, thereafter the service was prompt, courteos, and competent.

Everyone in the office was friendly and professional. Doctor Hawthorne diagnosed my problem and is planning surgery

I saw Dr. Hawthorne for eye exam after 10 months dealing with retinal issues. I was delighted with her professionalism, interest in my background issues, and especially her willingness to explain everything to me regarding my vision. I am very pleased to be her patient. I have received excellent care at Howerton at every visit and feel I am receiving the best of care.

I love Dr Hawthorne, she is thorough, professional and personable.

Great customer service. All staff on top of every issue. Dr. Kelly is awesome!

Very efficient and friendly staff met my new doctor( Dr. Hawthorne) she was charming and did a great exam, miss Rick (Dr. B) but I got a good replacement.
