Been coming here shortly after Covid I wanted to come before but she was not taking in any new patients at the time so I was going somewhere else and then suddenly I got in and have been very happy since Dr Chu is very informative and easy to talk to and has a good sense humor I think Very thorough and does all sorts of tests and makes sure to get all the data needed to make the best diagnosis Service is great and it's a very chill spot and I always have a great experience here read more

See all

Dr Chu is a amazing optometrist hands down she really takes her time in checking you and always takes care of you not to mention she has the best variety of glasses best hands down read more

Gee, I really don't know how to start without making this a long drawn out review but I'll try. I met doctor Chu and her sister Suzanne between twenty five and thirty years ago. I came by to do a business license inspection and to also make sure the property was safe for them and future clients. At the time of the inspection I was not in need of eye exams or eyewear so I was just happy to meet a couple of sisters that had a community vision of something that was needed in the area. Suzanne and Amy have always been patient, caring people who have shown a great interest and concern in all their clients. At some point clients become friends who are welcomed into the business. As for as the receptionist are concerned they have all been incredibly professional and welcoming in my opinion. They have a more then adequate selection of frames from Gucci, Dolce and Cabanna, Ray Bans, Carrera etc. By chance there is a frame that they don't have in their collection, give Suzanne the maker and model number and she'll locate it. I'm big on customer service and they absolutely deliver in every aspect of customer service. I'll always keep my loyalty to them and I hope that they remain in the Carson area delivering the same quality of service that they have been for the last couple of decades. I apologize for the lengthy review and there's more to be said but that's it for now thanks for taking the time to read this and God Bless! read more

I have been coming to Dr.Chu's office for many years, she's the best and so is her staff! Super friendly and very thorough. She takes her time with each patient, does not rush and really takes the time to get to know them! Staff goes over insurance coverages in detail and answers any questions you may have. They also have a wide selection of glasses, so hard to choose just one! Would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an amazing optometrist. And with the times, the office has taken the proper Covid precautionary measures. There is a covid survey to fill out, hand sanitizer in the office, and temperature checks upon entry. Stay safe everyone! read more

After narrowing down who my new optometrist would be, I called to find out they are closed on Wednesdays. I was so ready for Thursday, only to find out that Dr. Chu isn't taking any more patients. read more

The glasses I received (after a very long wait) were really not very good, lens-wise. Additionally, Amy Chu gave me a choice of leftover frames she pulled out of her desk drawer, which I thought was very odd, and rather disrespectful. I went to her once and happily found another optometrist the next year. read more

I started there in the 90s - when Dr. Chu took over the practice. It is now the year 2022 and truly she is an excellent optometrist. I now live 10 miles away and no matter where I go, will forever be dedicated to her due diligence and providing top notch eye care services to my entire family. I absolutely adore Dr. Chu and her entire staff and very grateful that she has taken care of my eye health needs. read more

I had an eye infection which prevented me from falling asleep because my eye was in pain every time I shut it. I panicked and started calling eye doctors until I came across Dr. Chu. Even though she was extremely busy, she made time to see me the day I called and we were able to get my problems fixed. read more

Absolutely love Dr Chu. I found her several years ago. They entire staff is kind, caring and thorough. Her selection of frames is excellent

The best in LA. Dr.Chu is so through and is very professional as well as all the other staff especially Suzanna! I have been a patient since I was a kid and previous family members before me have been coming to her because we trust her just that much. The staff also takes great measures in being clean and sanitizing everything after every patient! They take care of their patients. And if you get anxious at eye doctors, like I do, as if you're being rushed trust me you dont have to worry about that here! They are the complete opposite. They will never rush you and genuinely want you to be happy with your glasses. I moved some years ago yet still take the hour and a half drive, if that gives you any idea of just how good Dr.Chu and the staff here are. Because you and I both know gas isn't cheap lol read more

We have been looking for a patient and honest optometrist, well we found it. Dr Chu and her staff are wonderful, our entire family of four went today and all had a great experience. The entire staff was extremely find and knowledgeable, absolutely no push to upsell in any way. Very patient when we tried on a ton a different frames. The Doctor was very thorough and made sure to run thru all required test for each fam member. Prices were fair and a great selection of frames. We're extremely happy that their our new optometrist... read more

Very helpful and informative. They took their time to talk to me and answer all my questions. I could not be more impressed. The best part is that this office is a few minutes away from my house! read more

This review is way overdue. Dr Chu is seriously amazing. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does- which unfortunately is tough to say for most dr/specialists! She takes her time and actually wants to help you. I had gone in with an eye emergency and she found a way to see me and check up with me the following days. Dr Chu if you read this -Thank you -all your patients appreciate the amazing work you do! read more

Amy is such an honest, caring, and professional optometrist. I've been coming here for several years and every visit I learn something new. Curious about why they shine a bright light while looking in every direction? She'll give you the full scoop, down to the last detail. Curious about why they're using eye-drops to dilate your pupil? Amy will tell you everything about optic nerves if you want to hear it. She'll make sure that you get the most accurate prescription and objectively recommend what suits you best. You can tell that she has mountains of experience from how she talks about different treatments and products. Her staff is just as pleasing to work with. They definitely have more of a personal attitude than a get-in get-out mentality as I've experienced in other medical facilities. After getting your prescription, chat with Susanna and she'll find you eye-wear that'll make you look sharper. (sharper... get it? hahaha ok I'll show myself out) read more

Chu Amy T OD - I must be eagle-eyed. - Optometrists Near Me - Carson, California

Dr. Amy Chu is great. My daughters who are teenagers will only see her. We drive all that way from Corona to see her. Susana is very knowledgeable and explains the insurance benefits clearly. read more

I work nearby decided to give Dr Amy Chu a shot. She was very friendly and helpful and met all of my needs. She also has a great selection of frames and sunglasses on display throughout the store. They do have some strange hours so make sure you call ahead before you go. read more

I REALLY like Dr. Amy Chu. I live in Torrance, and hers is not the most convenient location AND it's in kind of a funky location (-1 for that), BUT she's got a wonderful, patient personality and answers all my questions. Before her, I had gone to another optometrist in Burbank (near my old work) on a friend's recommendation, and he was a real jerk, impatient with my questions. So a friend's recommendation turned out to be a bust, while Dr. Chu, whom I picked randomnly from my insurance booklet is great. Go figure. Lastly, don't let the funky location and exterior fool you. Her sister is the office manager and eyeglass buyer and has EXCELLENT taste in styles from budget to designer, plus those expensive oversized sunglasses. I bought the same pair of Via Spiga's she was wearing, and I still love them. A bonus is that Dr. Chu looks young, so hopefully, she's not retiring anytime soon. read more

The other reviewer gave her 4 stars minus one for the location. The location really wasn't that bad for me as I lived just two blocks away. I searched for her online and found that she was good (back before Yelp existed). She is patient friendly to the maximum and she really is incredible and she answers all my questions intelligibly and brilliantly. It will take longer to get your glasses than at a Lens Crafters, etc... but you'll get the personalized attention that is to die for... read more

I've just moved and was looking for the good eye doctor. Of course I did my research and come across Dr. Amy Chu. From the first time I made an appointment by phone, the receptionist...now I know her name is Gladys...was so professional, very warm and knowledgeable regarding insurance etc.,I already felt very good about this place. When I went to my appointment first time, everyone there was very nice and welcoming. Then I met Dr. Chu...who's funny, friendly and very knowledgeable! Very professional and nice! know I found my optometrist!! I had such a great experience with Dr. Chu and her stuffs that I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

It is sooo hard to find good doctors. If you need an optometrist, I highly recommend Dr. Amy Chu. I have been going to her for years. A few times I've had changes in my insurance and so I ended up going to a few different optometrists. But I always returned to Amy Chu. Even after I moved more than 36 miles away! She is the best. I have so many problems with my eyes and she is always offering a better solution or suggestion to try and help me. I really appreciate it. read more

Dr. Chu is amazing. She was very professional yet relatable. I've also visited one of the other doctors there (forgot his name) but he was very nice too. I would have had a great experience and would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the people they have working up front. I don't know if it was just me, but the receptionist or whatever she is very condescending and not accommodating at all and made me leave with a sour taste. The Drs are great, but they need better staff. read more

Dr. Amy Chu is terrific, and her staff is outstanding. It's a small office and they take customer service very seriously, making sure you are very happy with your perscription and frames. I found Dr. Chu by searching the internet for a match to my insurance coverage. That was 6 years ago and she had just been named the best young optometrist of the year. She has been my doctor since 2002 and I've always appreciated her thorough exams, expert analysis and great sense of humor! She treats a lot of children and I would imagine they love her. Recently I had a small complication with my vision and Dr. Chu found the link to an underlying condition. She recommended a treatment plan and referred me to stellar doctors, who have all praised her expert "detective" work for identifying the problem. All is now well and she continues to monitor my vision for changes. It feels wonderful to be in the care of such an expert. I hope her practice continues to grow and thrive. She's a gem in the Los Angeles community and worth the drive from anywhere in So. Cal. read more

Dr Chu is very professional, friendly, patient and detailed. She always try to find out and provide the best suggestion/solution for patients. Thank you Dr Chu. read more

She is the best optometrist and they have the best staff. She goes out of her way to help you and she is so meticulous, detail oriented and just takes her time to make sure that you are happy and that your prescription is accurate. I've recommended her to all of my friends and those that have gone to see her have not been disappointed and they go on ahead and continue to refer other people as well. It is just personalized service - you don't really get that nowadays but they continue to provide it. read more

I've been going to Dr. Amy Chu for a long time and I have recommended her to my friends and family. She is very thorough and I have complete trust in her. The staff is great - especially Susana who helps you select glasses and fits them. Yup, the location is not the best (but then again, I just live around the corner!) and the clinic is somewhat dated, but Dr. Chu has kept abreast of what's new and she does have updated technology. read more

Knowledgeable in eye and general health. Thorough and careful examinations. Discusses lifestyle and alternative methods to keep and improve health. Worth a trip, if you don't live nearby like I do. read more

Dr. Chu is a very good and great doctor. She is our eye doctor for more than 10-years. I referred my whole family to her as well as my co-worker. She refers me to eye specialist if needed. Today, her office is closed but I left a message on her phone and emailed her about my urgent concern. I am worried she might not be able to respond due to the holiday but she immediately called me back for advise. That's how caring she is. She cares for her patient and I am so thankful to Dr Chu. Thank you Dr Chu for being such a good doctor!///Zenaida read more

Very warm and comforting office they remember your name, Dr. chu is a very nice person , I have been going to her over 12 years, I have special eye problems and my daughters , and she really shows her concern.I really appreciate that. read more

The location might not seem pleasing to look at but that is not what matters. What matters most is the quality of service that Dr. Chu does to his patient. I am a new patient and she did a great job and explaining to me all things eye related. I will definitely comeback annually for my eye exam. It is my first time seeing her and I love how she explains and conduct a thorough exam on my eyes. read more

Dr. Amy Chu and her staff are all great doing their job. She has the expertise as an optometrist. She extensively check our eyes during the annual exam. Getting an appointment is not hard, fixing my eyeglass whenever i have problems with it and giving advice on what eyeglass is perfect for you. Thumbs up to Dr. Chu!!! read more

I made an appointment for both my nine year old son and I with Dr. Chu. She and her staff were very courteous and professional. We were seen at our appointment time, which is priceless for me. In addition, Dr. Chu was very patient with my energetic son. She explained everything to us in full detail (at an adult level for me and at a nine year old level for my son). I was able to comfortably make an informed decision regarding the best options for us (contacts, vs specialized lenses, vs surgery, etc). I would highly recommend Dr. Chu to friends and family. read more

Dra. Amy chu, she's one of the best and the staff their fantastic. Eversince my family and friends entrust on her profession.
