Dr Row has taken care of me for over 35 years, 31 of which as a glaucoma patient. He is absolutely the best and will not hesitate to consult/ confirm with other doctors. I have recently moved and am still looking for a Dr Row caliber of glaucoma doctor here. If you are with him, you are blessed and stay with him. He has also seen me through cataracts and detached retinas and it is a small miracle that I still see 20/20 thanks to the good care I have received from him.

I love Dr. Row! I was just recently referred to him by a friend . Wish I had gone to him forever . I had been to 2 optometrist before going to Dr. Row. Had a problem with me eyes randomly burning to the point of not being able to open them . He is the only doctor that correctly identified, treated and healed my eyes . He is very dedicated and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent eye doctor!

I have visited a number of opthamologists over the years and Dr. Row is by far the best. He is compassionate, knowledgeable, intelligent, and concerned. The time he spends with his patients is extraordinary and he is able to diagnose problems and solve them before they become serious. His equipment is firstrate as well. If you want a great opthamologist try him.

Dr. Row is an excellent professional who provides excellent treatment for his patients--and he did so even when in the presence of his former wife.

My Mother started going to Dr. Row and really liked him! I went with her on one of her visits & was so impressed with him I decided to make him MY Eye Doctor too and now my daughter has chosen him to take care of her eyes as well! He's really thorough with you, takes all the time in the world with you and is extremely concerned about the care of your eyes!! Never makes you feel rushed or like your questions irritate him! He has a fun personality, but very professional and his whole staff are awesome too! From when you walk in the door til you walk out....you've had a good experience!!
