Rick A. Carpenter, D.O.
Ophthalmologist and medical aesthetics provider, caring for the Big Island community from his office in Hilo.
Care that treats you as a person, not a chart.
Dr. Rick A. Carpenter is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) with more than three decades of caring for eyes in Hilo. It's a philosophy that looks at the whole person, not just a single symptom, and a fitting foundation for a practice that spans both the health of your eyes and the confidence you feel in your own skin.
Visits aren't rushed. He takes time to listen, examine carefully, and explain what he finds in plain language.
And you're never limited to what one office can do. While Dr. Carpenter leads your care, the practice welcomes a visiting physician and a surgeon who travels to Hilo for specialized eye surgeries, so patients can reach advanced procedures without leaving the island.
“Building confidence and clarity, from the outside in.”
A few things we believe.
