Everyone at Destination is always so friendly, courteous, and professional. The text reminders for appointments are much appreciated. The entire eye exam experience is thorough and efficient.

As always, supporting my local Doctor and his staff! Grateful for Dr. Bowers and the relationship he has had with our family for years. Care, environment, concern and no pressure during the process. Destination Eyecare in my opinion is second to none.

Juanita R.

Dr. Bowen is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and always takes time to fully explain complex issues to me in a manner that is easy to understand. I always enjoy his willingness to answer all of my questions, and I never leave feeling like something may have been missed. I’ve had complex issues with my eyes, and I’ve seen other well known doctors in our area, but I feel that the care I’ve received from Dr. Bowen and his level of expertise is superior. I trust that he has my best interest in mind and that is invaluable. He gives me information on warning signs to watch for and goes above and beyond to make sure my vision is protected. If you want a thorough eye exam that goes beyond what many offices do, schedule an appointment with Dr. Bowen.
