Reviews of Bennett Eye Institute (Ophthalmologist)

Lonny Abo

Attitude is important here as the technicians are always cordial and attentive. Dr. Danforth's manner always puts me at ease because he seems so knowledgeable wanting me to have the best outcome.

Yolanda Morales

I can't say enough good things about this clinic My Doc is Dr Hootin She is absolutely the best at taking care of all retina issues She will give you pain free care I will Never trust any other Dr to take care of my eye issues concerning the retina Do yourself a favor only consider her!

After having multiple "sight saving" surgeries by Dr.Safi, in the last 2yyrs,I feel most qualified tol this review. Simply put, they're AWESOME! A warm greetings by all front desk staff,a super clean environment,on time appointments,compassionate Care are hallmarks of Bennett Eye Institute. Last month,Dr. Hooten performed a YAG laser treatment on my visit there. She could have set another appointment (another office visit charge), instead she got an approval from my insurance co. by calling herself rather than waiting on the staff to do it. Thanks to her efforts my vision is clear now,and I didn't have to wait another month. I couldn't be happier with them.

Great staff, nice doctors, free parking oleasnt waiting room. Only complaint is no matter what time we schedule an appoitment we sit and wait for atleast 1 hour before called back, I wish the office manager managed the appointments better it really effects peoples schedules and makes the opperation look as if it money driven and not patient oriented.

My wife Laura and I are delighted with all facets of your institute (reception, clinical assistants, and doctors). We especially wish to express our delight at Dr. Danforth having become our ophthalmologist. His level of expertise and manner of communicating have contributed much not only to our visual, but also cognitive clarity! We are both grateful for your presence on Maui and look forward to being your clients for years to come!

Don't waste your time with these guys. Their office in Kona botched a cataract procedure. Do to their delaying tactics my wife eventually had to have a cornea transplant. The doc who did this procedure, recommended by Dr Safi, replaced the incorrect lens but failed to get it centered. Another doc, not associated with Bennett and his crew finally did a repair. My wife was in severe pain for two plus years as Bennett's docs would not do anything. They strung us along until the two year malpractice time was up and then apologized. My wife will never have her vision back in her left eye. The thing that is most disheartening is that Dr Bennett agreed on several occasions his company would care for our out of pocket expenses. It never happened. Their insurance company denied any and all claims. Suggestion: if you run into complications with these guys go to some one else to get it resolved.

Of course we are so grateful for the on-going retina care as diabetes continues to progress. Setsko’s vision was certainly saved and preserved when otherwise blindness would have ensued. We also value Dr Danforth’s personal touch and approach to this condition as a physician treating the underlying disease then as a specialist and surgeon working miracles of healing for the eyes.

I am 74 and see better now without contacts or glasses than since I was five years old. Can read and see distances without any aids. All thanks to Dr. Bennett! My husband has retinitis item toss and Dr. Bennett has saved his vision. We are eternally grateful! Staff is friendly, kind and efficient!

As I’ve been treated by DR Otto for several years, along with others, I’ve found their expertise & advice right on! Unfortunately, due to many years of stationing my self behind the 175mm artillery guns when they’re firing my hearing & sight have been affected by blast, concussions, blowback!

John Phillipis

The staff and the physicians were so reassuring and so professional. They were able to repair my torn retina and monitored my eye beyond my satisfaction. I was referred to this organization by the top opthalmologist in Hawaii.

Susan Matsubara

Not on main isle, doctor comes in once a month. Dr. Kashiwa is pleasantly friendly, extremely knowledgeable and explains each procedure and gives suggestions for my problem. Main problem is the billing, accounts department. This will be read by others and have nothing wonderful to comment. Unsure who to point my finger at. Mahalo

A very warm hard working attentive staff

Ruth Rittmeister

The Bennett Eye Institute is 5 Star. Unfortunately I call it my 2nd home because I need treatment so frequently. However, I feel fortunate to be under the care of Dr. Claudia Hooten. She is the best. And the Institute's staff are so pleasant.

Randy Wheeler

Skillful surgeon plus superb credentials plus friendly, efficient staff . . . these are just some of the attributes that make Dr. Bennett the best. He's also a helluva nice guy and easy to communicate with.

Carole Aus

We need more ophthalmologists on Maui.

Anne Troy

Dr. Safi has saved my eyesight. He and the staff - Shawna, Brittany, Deb, Lori and Vi - have been amazingly kind and supportive in every way. I would recommend them to anyone who has eye problems. They really listen and care about you.

John Bishop

Dr Hootin is excellent!!

Sunny SuttonMartinez

With his knowledge, skill and state of the art instruments, Dr. Bennett has dramatically slowed my husband’s inevitable descent into blindness from RP. He has restored my vision to better than 20/20 after a lifetime of nearsightedness, glasses, contacts, laser and cataract surgery. He is our hero! His assistants - staff and doctors are equally proficient, efficient and kind.

John Valera

Sue Angels

He is the best, the office staff dynamite!!! Dr. Bennett always makes you comfortable makes sure you understand his doings. He talk story with you, makes you feel as if you're his only patient even with an office full. we've been seeing him 2 years just keeps getting better.

During a routine eye exam, the Bennett Eye Inst may very well have saved my long term vision by detecting eye trauma with their state of the art equipment operated by their highly experienced staff. The eye trauma I had most likely would not be detected by other vision facilities. The doc's at Bennett diagnosed and collaterally shared opinions to provide the best treatment options for my case. Bennet Eye Inst has the technology and ability to treat eye trauma in house. I will be forever grateful to the Bennett staff and for the personal care I received. I highly recommend getting your eyes checked at the Bennett Eye Inst to ensure a top quality exam and If they detect a problem, they will take the absolute best care of you. Mahalo

Great staff and follow up.

I am confidently satisfied with the services afforded to me.

Jami Hall

Amazing staff of professionals! All of them were very accommodating due to the fact that we were on vacation! The Doctors were outstanding! I could not ask for a better staff of professionals! I would fly back to have them take care of all my retinal issues. I cannot say enough about this place.

GUILLERMO CANLAS

There are good, best and great doctors. The good gets the job done. The best are often rated by magazines dependent on ads. The great doctor is the one who exceeds the expectation of the patient, goes to the limit of service and truly deserves the judgment of patient: A natural born healer with a sharp mind and a big heart. Recently I am fortunate enough to meet in this facility Dr. Claudia Hooten, a great doctor.
