Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Thank You Dr. Rowe
I called on a Friday morning and was very ill but something was wrong with my eye. He talked to me on the phone and sent in a script. He saw me everyday last week and I see him again today. My eye is getting better thanks to his thorough exam. I was very scared because I have never had any issues with my eyes but he spent the time to reassure me as long as I followed his instruction my eye would return to normal. It's been a week and my eyes are better. I highly recommend Dr. Alan Rowe!

Dr. Row's concern for the patient exceeds expectations. He takes extra steps to be sure that he has considered every possibility as to what is wrong, and he pursues medical questions and makes referrals as he feels appropriate. He explains things thoroughly and describes his plan for your health, so you know exactly why you are having a test or treatment. He is compassionate as well as conscientious and sees the patient not just as a set of eyes but as a person of worth and complexity.

Thorough, compassionate, excellent listener, honest and diligent in diagnosing an treating my eye issues. Wish I had found him 6 years ago. I have been seeing him 2 years and have referred others who called to tell me how satisfied they were.

Dr. Alan Row has treated my eyes since 2010. He discovered and treats my advanced glaucoma. I've been in his office countless times. He is the finest eye doctor I've known after a lifetime of bad eyes and many fine doctors. He is meticulous, smart and very tuned in to his patient's needs! Dr. Row keeps himself up to date and on the cutting edge of ophthalmology. I respect and trust his treatment and recommend his services highly to anyone! -Sam Shaw

I have been a patient of Dr. Row since he began his practice in Lubbock in the early 1980’s. I have always found him to be an exceptional doctor. In all the years & visits to his office, I have always felt that no matter how full his day might be, the care for me, personally and my vision was the most important thing at that time. Dr. Row is a superb healthcare provider with a passion for giving his patients his very best.

Dr. Row takes care of my eyes and the eyes of my family. I’ve referred him to my wife and her parents and my children. The wait to see him can be long, but he takes time examining and instructing each visit. Dr. Row is thorough and exacting. He has called to check on me and my wife following each visit. He cares about me, and I trust him implicitly.

I am Dr. Row's patient for over 20+ years (in fact my wife and my daughter are also his patients) and I visit him every year for my eye exams. My personal experience is very good. He is friendly, very knowledgeable, and provides an excellent service. When he steps in the exam room, it seems he has read his charts/notes on me, remembers my previous medical issues and checks my eyes thoroughly. His office is very clean and staff is very attentive. I was recommended to him by a friend.

I waited over 2 hours. The front office staff member was very rude. She also was talking on the phone in Spanish to her family the entire time I was there. When the doctor would come into her area she would pretend it was a pateint, very disrespectful. The nurse who pulled me back told me he sleeps in his office and overbooks patients. When he came in he did a quick exam and told me I had glaucoma and needed extra testing. I am 38 years old, got a 2nd opinion and I do not have glaucoma. Quack.
