Not as knowledgeable as could be. Somewhat open to new ideas. Should be constantly upgrading new options for treatment for all eye problems including accessing international innovations so no patient leaves without hope - ever.

I'll be honest, I went to see him once and had such a bad experience I now drive an hour each way to see my "old" optometrist. Mocking your patients does not endear you to anyone. Has no empathy for people who are having issues with vision degradation. Not to me anyway. Never again.

I have been taking both of my girls to see Dr. Kawale for the past few years and have found him to be exceptionally great. I have referred other people as well who have also been very pleased. He is great with kids and does not rush with them even when they may not be in the "mood". We found Dr. Kawale through a recommendation from someone in the industry. Great Optomitrist and a very personable and friendly man.

I have "special" eye problems . MS and ABI make getting new and proper glasses almost impossible. Dr. Kawale seemed to take my problems seriously . He decided last I saw him that I'd do better with trying to find ordinary seeing glasses and forget for now bifocals. Even offered me a deal. Again the script he gave me resulted in headaches and nausea , but it took 6wks to discover this.Then was the time he went into selling frames as well. His staff were HOPELESS re OPSP free frames. It took 6 weeks as opposed to usual 2-3-4 days. When I returned to say the "new" glasses didn't work , I was told basically "too bad " --unless I wanted to pay. Previously he'd tried his best --unsuccessfully to "tweak" the lenses so I c'd use them . He'd told me --to his credit --again to come back with any probs. His staff, ignoring this, told me too much time had elapsed for ODSP coverage , their fault. I live in constant fear of being completely blind. My specs are fragile broken antiques. Help !!!

Dr Kawale is very professional, knowledgable and great at dealing with children. He helped me with my dry eye problems. I have never had an optometrist explains things to me in such an easy to understand way. Excellent Dr., I highly recommend him.

I had been going to Dr. Kawale for a long time. After my last visit I decided to change. I felt he and the other staff were up-selling me. He did not give me time to ask questions, and I was very confused by what and how he told me about my prescription. It seemed that for him and the staff my eye care was none of my business, only for them to understand. They could not explain my charges, and were trying very hard to sell me dailies – which are very expensive.
