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. The practice takes an osteopathic approach, treating the whole person, and spans both eye health and medical aesthetics.
Visits aren't rushed. Our team takes the time to listen, examine carefully, and explain findings in plain language.
You're never limited to what one office can do. Dr. Carpenter leads a team that includes a visiting physician and a surgeon who travels to Hilo for specialized eye surgery, so patients can reach advanced care without leaving the island.
