Madeline, Maddie and Dr. Kirk were all outstanding! Each of them treated me with respect and kindness, and they are all experts in their respective fields. Dr. Kim was so patient while answering countless questions, and her professionalism was matched only by her excellent bedside manner. She and Madeline both took the time to listen to my history in order to get the best context for my situation, and I truly felt seen and listened to. And Maddie, while helping me choose my new frames, took the time to fix my old pair. Just another of those personal touches that are so rare these days. 10/10! read more

I have only been to one other eye doctor before seeing Dr. Janay, and I am honestly blown away by the level of professionalism and care she provides every single time I visit her office. I recently suffered a concussion and was experiencing significant dizziness. For several weeks, I couldn't comfortably wear my glasses or contact lenses, which was both frustrating and concerning. When I explained not only what I was experiencing physically but also my financial situation, Dr. Janay met me with compassion, flexibility, and understanding. She worked with me on a payment structure so I could still be seen, which meant more than I can express. What truly stood out was how she handled the appointment itself. She reassured me that my prescription had not changed and took the time to clearly explain that the symptoms I was experiencing were normal following a concussion. She was patient, thorough, and incredibly calming. She allowed me to be vulnerable about my concerns and genuinely put my mind at ease by letting me know that everything was going to be okay. If you are looking for a proactive, professional, and compassionate optometrist who truly prioritizes patient care, I cannot recommend Dr. Janay enough. read more

I referred my best friend to this optometrist and we both fell in love with how great customer service they have. The doctor is very thorough. You don't feel rushed and when you're picking out your glasses, they will do anything to please you any color that you're seeking and they explained to you all the charges before anything definitely a two thumbs up +10 stars. read more

Excellent service. They use state of art quality equipment. The optometrists are well educated and trained. I feel they are looking out for my entire health. read more

The staff is great. I never have to wait long. It's organized and clean. They have high-end brands however I do wish they had a more affordable selection of frames because I do like to have a couple of throw around glasses besides my classier ones but overall I would highly recommend them. read more

Everyone in the office is so professional, knowledgeable, and polite. Just a great optometrist group!

today I dropped in with no appointment. was having some pretty hard pressure pain in my eyes and was able to be seen by Dr. Janay within about 25 minutes. she was able to put me at ease that it was not a serious problem, just extremely dry eyes and I'm very grateful for being able to be fit in and also the fact that I now know it's not extremely serious. Love this office! And staff. read more

I've been going to Beachside Optometry for a couple of years. The staff is kind and thorough when it comes to procedures and cost. Dr. Melissa Germundsen is great! She takes time to explain the images, test, etc. Thoroughly explains any changes from the last visit. read more

Dr. Janay Sekhon is my doctor and is the absolute best. I have been coming here for well over 15 years. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I can't say enough though about Dr. Janay: she is so kind, sweet, and pleasure to talk with, every time I go in. She happens to also be amazing at her job; knowing how my eyes are over the years and what makes my vision perfect for me. She listens to what I need and makes it happen. If I could give her 10 stars I would. read more

Yeah, yes, they were amazing. Great staff great! All the way from the receptionist to the nice lady with the red hair that does some testing and the doctor was fabulous. She had a great sense of humor and she really is into the eye business. She told us she was a nerd which was hilarious then they let us try on glasses and have requested that they be special ordered and sent quickly which we believe they will do. I really like this office. You don't find a lot of doctors offices like this anymore so keep up the good work. read more

Go elsewhere - do not see Dr. Melissa or Dr. Kristi. First, I would like to point out that this review is regarding the owners of this practice. I normally see Dr. Jenay and she is amazing. I have terrible vision, -14 with astigmatism, floaters, vitreous detachment and dry eye so it's really hard for me to find anybody that understands my conditions. Dr. Jenay does that and more. However, at times I have had to see other doctors at this practice when she was away or unavailable. First, I'd like to talk about Dr. Kristi who I saw last year when I had double vision in one eye. She recommended eye drops that made my eyes more dry. She recommended a vision therapy clinic, I scheduled an appointment there and they told me they don't even provide the vision therapy required there. The craziest thing about that visit was that she asked me if I see double vision without my contacts or glasses mind you that I see nothing without contacts/glasses and she as an optometrist should know that as that's common knowledge for someone with such a high prescription. I saw my doctor earlier this year. It was a great visit and I ordered contacts and some tinted glasses as she recommended. I was told that my contacts will be deemed medically necessary, and that they checked with my insurance. I get a bill last week saying it was not covered by my insurance, I speak to them on the phone and I asked them why that is, why am I getting a bill four months later? Why did they not check with my insurance before I made such a large order? They go back back-and-forth and they tell me they are willing to give me a 20% discount on my visit and on the Contacts. So I respond saying OK thank you but next time please make sure you check with Insurance beforehand because I would've not have ordered contact through you guys and I would've gone through Costco or elsewhere. Regardless, I was really disappointed because I got a bill for hundreds of dollars. They didn't send me any instructions on how to pay and obviously I was going to pay my bill just like I have been for years coming to. Come June, I'm going on a trip so I asked if I could order daily contacts, they said I can talk to the doctor so I talk to another doctor, Dr. Melissa. I go back-and-forth with her over the phone saying I wore these daily contacts for a decade and a half and she insists that I need to come into the office and get fitted for Contacts I already have. I had been wearing these contacts sinde I was 14 years old but anyway, we agreed that I will come the next day at 1 PM. I was frustrated and didn't have a good experience. Then I get a call saying that they don't want me to come and that they don't meet my vision needs and they would like to refund everything I've paid them and that they don't wanna see me anymore. Dr. Melissa didn't seem like she liked me over the phone, maybe because I was so unhappy with the hundreds of dollars I owed them or frustrated because I had to be fitted for contacts I had been wearing forever. I'm only human and I am entitled to being frustrated at times. No matter how unhappy I am though, I never cuss or threaten because that's not me. I feel like her and Dr. Kristi, her sister, both don't like me. And that's OK, they don't have to like me. They are doctors and they're supposed to treat patients regardless of their feelings towards them. During the phone call I'm told that they cannot meet my vision needs. Again, that doesn't make sense because Dr. Jenay had been meeting my vision needs. They for sure can't because according to the questions they had asked me in the past, they're not as experienced with someone with terrible vision like myself. They are either basing this because they don't like me or because they don't wanna deal with someone with bad Vision like mine. I already have such a hard time going to an optometry office and they have made this experience the worst. I've been visiting optometry offices since I was 6, I'm 32 now and have never been so humiliated by any medical facility. Also I've tried to speak to Dr Jenay twice this week and they basically banned me from doing so! read more

I have been coming here for several years and am constantly impressed by how kind everyone in the office is. They are respectful of your time and go out of the way for their patients. While I was there yesterday, a patient came in and there was a mix up with the appointment and they still fit him in, with no issues. The office was so busy. They're extremely accommodating. The doctors are thorough and really take time with you despite how busy they are. I also love the text communications. Just great all in all. Thank you. read more

From the check-in process to seeing Dr. Kristi Germundsen, the appointment was thorough and efficient. The eye doctor assistant, Jonathan, was very professional and kind in doing the various eye tests. Dr. Germundsen explained everything that was going on with my eyes after her examination. Everyone in the office is very friendly and kind. I do recommend Beachside Optometry for your eye care. It is a little bit of a drive for me but well worth it. read more

Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend Dr. Melissa and her team to anyone looking for excellent eye care and outstanding customer service. read more

Beachside Optometry - Oakley progressive sunglasses! They are pure perfection!!!! - Optometrists Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I honestly can't say enough about the wonderful care I have received with Dr. Germendsen at Beachside Optometry for over 20 years. From the front office staff, the technicians, of course the doctor himself and the eyewear specialists. Each is pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and ready to answer questions and concerns. Last year I took a fall on my head and Dr. G immediately referred me to an ophthalmologist to establish care and make sure all bases were covered. This year he was sure to make me aware that nothing had changed, but to continue with the ophthalmologist to moderate any risk. I never feel rushed, awkward, nervous or anything uncomfortable with Dr. G and his team. I know my health is a priority for them, and that I am receiving optimal care. I look forward to my visit next year! Don't hesitate to make an appointment today with any of the doctors at Beachside. Because guess what? It's a family business and his daughters are extremely well educated and have been carefully groomed by their dad. Make an appointment today and pretty soon you will say you have gone there for 20 years too. read more

Love the staff, location, and how upfront they are on pricing! Great experience with each point of contact.

Have gone here many years excellent MD Christie and staff very efficient and very friendly I highly recommend

Loved this place! Needed to get a new eyeglass prescription. Chose to go to Beachside Optometry because of all the great Yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint. They started off by doing various examinations of my eye health. I've had some of those tests in the past, but this place seems to have more state-of-the-art equipment. After that, I was met by Dr. Janay who was great! She is super nice, professional, and a great sense of humor, too, which put me at ease. She went through the results of the eye scans with me. I felt that I got a lot more value from the tests that were run than I typically have gotten from other places. Eye prescription was provided and no pushiness to purchase any glasses there that day, which I appreciated. Highly recommend!! read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but I couldn't resist sharing my experience at Beachside Optometry. I've been a loyal customer for over five years, and I've always felt that they were the best optometrists in town. But this year, due to my aging (40+) and active lifestyle, I decided to switch to contacts and they really proved how much they care for each patient. Dr. Kevin and Dr. Kristy were incredibly patient and attentive to every detail of my eyes. I have completely different prescriptions for each eye, which is quite unusual. Dr. Kristy never rushed into finding the right contact and prescription for each eye. Instead, she kindly had me try at least ten different lenses without complaining or rushing. She always wanted my honest opinion on each new trial so that she could make the best adjustments possible to ensure the best fitting and vision. For my demanding job and active lifestyle, Dr. Kristy even suggested three different sets of lenses that I absolutely loved. This is a rare feat for a doctor, and I was truly impressed. I'm incredibly grateful for their attention, time, and the numerous fittings and adjustments they made to find the right set of contacts for my busy lifestyle. I couldn't recommend Beachside Optometry highly enough. read more

Professional Support Staff, but the Optometrist was all business. No time for small talk...Sadly. This is a local business that my family has used for many years. Today was a little bit "UnFamilyLike" definitely the exception..not the norm read more

I originally went here because my insurance recommended them but I am so glad they did! I love everything about this office. Everybody is very welcoming and helpful. They even make that awful air puff test less horrible. They don't try to push you into buying anything you don't want to buy which I felt like my previous optometrist tried to do. I will be going here for all of my optical needs forever. read more
