Being a physician, I really appreciate someone who's thorough. Dr. Kimura is extremely thorough. He lets you ask questions and doesn't feel like he's rushing you but it is extremely knowledgeable as well. Very good bedside manner. And has excellent follow-up protocols, especially for contact lens fitting. I highly recommend his services for any eye care that you need. One thing to note is the parking lot is not stamped So I'd recommend parking on Federal or the first cross street to the South. Give yourself another 5 minutes and save yourself some money. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Kimura. I spent an hour and twenty minutes with him for a standard yearly exam. He take s his job seriously and is extremely thorough. read more

I liked the doctor and felt the exam was detailed and thorough. I had a pair of lenses made for an existing pair of frames I have. The lens cost ~ $500 and unfortunately the center of the focus for "normal" distance is just off. They are set too high and thus the whole lower half of the lens is only focussed for very near objects. Additionally, these are sunglasses for driving and sports, so they are used almost exclusively for distance. While everyone at the office has been nice, there was almost no interest in getting these lenses right and correcting how they were functioning. I have worn progressives for many years and have bought them dozens of times from Oliver Peoples to Warby Parker. In all that time, maybe once or twice something wasn't quite right and the lenses needed to be redone and they have been without issue. I basically spent $500 for lenses that don't really function unless I hold my head still and use the small zone that is correctly placed, which is obviously not realistic for real-world use. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Kimura for over 10 years and can't believe I've waited this long to write a review. I've been in glasses/contacts since 3rd grade (a long time ago!) and have seen numerous doctors over the years - I have a lot of experience with eye doctors. Dr. Kimura is different than all the rest - he's thorough, patient, and makes recommendations without being pushy. He is clear with instructions, answers all my questions, and I trust his expertise without hesitation. I feel like he's truly focused on my eye care and doesn't rush the appointment. If you're looking for a seasoned, experienced, knowledgable, patient, kind eye doctor that will take the time to listen to you, answer questions, make suggestions based on your lifestyle - Dr. Kimura is your guy! read more

I work in the building Dr Kimura has his practice and he's definitely one of the best optometrist I've gone to. The truth is that my initial impression wasn't great, I had to wait 45 minutes for my appointment which I was a huge problem since I called before I coming down as I was extremely short staffed that particular day. But after meeting Dr Kimura I easily let the delay slide. *He was very knowledgeable. *He took his time to make sure I got the perfect prescription. *He made sure my contacts were going to fit nicely. *Didn't want to order my year supply of contacts until I knew my sample pair was something I really liked. I've never had that happen. He even offered for me to try a different brand to compare. *I had some issues passing one of my vision tests and he retested me and also wants me to come back for another appointment (at no charge) to test even further. *He had a great personality and I can tell he really cares - a perfectionist which compliments me as I am the same. *Every single member of his staff = awesome. I was very impressed and being a big time yelp reviewer who is picky about service, .I highly recommend seeing him for your optical needs. Don't let the location in Brentwood scare you away - it's in a nice, beautiful building but there is nothing pretentious about the people there. Easy parking and they validate. You can even walk over to Banderas or Maradentro to grab a bite or drink afterwards. read more

I have been going to eye doctors since I was 7, and each time they marvel at the true absurdity of my prescription. Even with glasses a mile thick and great contacts, my vision never quite gets where it needs to be. In comes Dr. Kimura! He sat with me for honestly two hours over multiple visits trying to figure out my elusive eyeballs, and he eventually got me to the best prescription I'd had in decades. The office staff are wonderful and attentive. The best I've had, and I've had a lot! read more

Doctor Kimura was very patient and provide a lot of good advice! Highly recommended! He also helped my son, I am glad that I brought my son in! read more

I've been wanting to find a permanent eye doctor since I moved to the area. After going to different places, I can finally say Dr. Kimura will be the one I would want to return to every year. The office is spacious and comfortable. Dr. Kimura and the staff are all very knowledgeable and patient with my questions. They don't over sell or charge you on things you don't need (which has happened to me before at other places). I am very glad I found Dr. Kimura. read more

I rarely write negative reviews because I think people should be praised instead of roasted, but Dr. Kimura's conduct was so AWFUL that I hope to spare others the horrible experience. I told Dr. Kimura that I'm scared of eye doctors because of the air-puff test that I once got without warning. I also had some questions about eye health - typical stuff if you're new to glasses. He seemed like a little, nerdy, highly-strung man who might know a lot about eyes, but who was also getting increasingly frustrated by the second. He finally snapped and told me to 'stick your chin in there because I've got another patient out there waiting for me.' I complied and we completed whatever phase of the exam we were on. I then told him, calmly, that there are absolutely ZERO circumstances when you can talk to a patient like that, and that I would never return. He interrupted to say, 'I know; I'm rude. I have anxiety' and proceeded to bolster his limp apology with the excuse that the patient waiting for him is going to leave. He ended by saying, as if HE WERE THE VICTIM of this entire situation, 'And now I'm going to lose 2 patients', bowing his head and muttering something about the world being against him. What else can I say except that if you want to apologize to someone: 1) Say it from the heart. 2) Don't add any words after the word, 'sorry.' The people skills and chair-side manner of this person is -10. These other reviews speak to a person with a compassion capacity and a finesse Dr. Kimura simply does not possess. *On a side note, his optician Jennifer is an angel and a complete sweetheart. read more

I finally have found the perfect eye doctor!! I needed a better contact lens prescription. Dr Kimura was very thorough and did not rush me or just send me home with any prescription. I had gone home with one set and told to return a week later to re test how I was doing with the prescription; good thing he did so as he had to adjust the left side. I got my years worth of lens less than a week later!! So happy at how precise he is and how important it is for his patients to leave seeing things clearly & comfortably. read more

Found dr. Kimura on here and decided to schedule and appointment! His reviews are accurate. He takes his time doing your eye exam and explains everything thoroughly! By far the best eye exam I've had in a while. I would definitively recommend Dr. Kimura if you are looking for a new optometrist! read more

I had an eye emergency and Dr. Kimura and his office team were so accommodating and helped fit me into their schedule on a weekend. Dr. Kimura is personable and helped explain every question I had along with his proposed treatment plan. Thank you!! read more

Took my mother here and Dr. Kimura was phenomenal! He detected an issue that no other doctor had seen before and I'm forever grateful. He's truly amazing and should be YOUR Optometrist too!! read more

Even though Dr. Kimura said COVID protocol required him to give an "abbreviated" exam to minimize my time in the office, he spent almost an hour giving me a very thorough exam and patiently answered my questions. I didn't feel rushed like I do when I go to more commercial optometrists. I had confidence in his expertise and recommendations. I had an appointment and didn't have to wait to be seen. The experience was positive all around. They were scrupulous about following COVID safety guidelines and I felt safe the whole time. I will not hesitate to return to Dr. Kimura, and I will recommend him to my friends. read more

Daniel Kimura, OD was able to fit me right in when I needed an appointment and was pretty flexible in accommodating my schedule when I needed to return for a follow-up visit. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my many questions. Both of my appointments were scheduled for the end of the day, so he ended up staying much past closing-time until my appointment was complete. I appreciated the extra time he took in talking to me about options, coverage, etc. I can be rather demanding, but he was always quite patient! His staff was friendly and helpful. His selection of eyewear--frames and sunglasses--is better than some but not as good as others' and nothing particularly special. read more

Dr. Kimura is very thorough and has always steered me in the right direction for vision correction. More than that, though, his care goes beyond prescribing the right prescription for glasses and contacts. He saw the red flags for glaucoma and referred me to a top notch ophthalmologist. Long story, short, his diagnosis, recommendation, and support saved my vision. I am not sure how long I've been his patient, but I'm thinking 15 or more years. There is a lot of trust here. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kimura for several years now and recommend him highly! His staff is also very helpful and friendly, and they make sure you get the best deal possible with your insurance. read more

Dr.Kimura is really nice! I have been wearing glasses for my whole life before I suddenly wanted to get contacts. Dr Kimura's office is a great place to go! He gives clear instructions and test very carefully. He let me try the different contacts for about 2 weeks to see which one is more comfortable. He is very detail-oriented and responsible. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Dr. Kimura ever since I moved to Los Angeles and he's truly fantastic. Always very friendly, super thorough and explains everything very practically. Have recommended a few people to him! read more

Dr. Kimura is hands down the best optometrist in town. Having moved around different parts of LA in my life, I had been many different optometrists in the city and there has been no one as thorough and comprehensive in his evaluation as Dr. Kimura. He really takes the time to explain things to you as the patient, which is a huge departure from what I've experienced elsewhere. I probably learned more about my eyes in 10 minutes with Dr. Kimura than I had with 25 years of annual eye evaluations elsewhere. Obviously nothing is as important as the doctor himself, but as an added benefit parking is very convenient within the building (his office offers validation) and I always look forward the coffee in the lobby! Nice little touches that really enhance the patient experience. Glad I finally found an optometrist I can stick with long term! read more

Best doctor (eyes, physician, dentist, Dre) ever! He really walks you through the entire process and tells you what is happening with your eyes. I went in last year and was very comfortable and since my eyesight is so poor he told me all the risks associated with it and what to get checked. Even showed me the X Rays. Not to mention the staff is accommodating! They gave me 4 free trial lenses to hold me over until my appointment in two weeks. They really look after you here. Cannot say that for the other eye doctors I've been to in the area. The only real con is that the waiting area is weird, but it's an office. Not expecting marshmallows and foot massages while I wait. I also never park there (ride my bike) so not sure how that works. read more

He's really good and is very detailed. I'm a physician myself and I can tell a good doctor when I see one.

Dr Kimura is knowledgeable and caring. He really took time and answered all of my questions and took great care of me and my eye strain. The office staffs are friendly and professional. I'm so glad they are in my neighborhood! read more

My wife and I are both professional pilots, and I need not point out the importance of perfect visual acuity and good ocular health to remain employed in our chosen field. The selection of an outstanding ophthalmologist is therefore a very important one, and undertaken with great care. No shortcoming or mis-judgement is acceptable. Dr. Kimura has our complete and unquestioning trust. The reasons should be obvious,but I must point them out: Due to very demanding work loads, legal constraints and protocols, HIPPA compliance, insurance nightmares, and finding the most competent staffing, medical professionals cannot always devote the time and attention to every patient's case as they would like to. The current Covid-19 pandemic has certainly added to these difficulties. This is not the case with Dr. Daniel Kimura. He is the most thorough, capable, knowledgeable, and especially caring doctor I have met in his field. He is eminently approachable, very clear in the explanation of his diagnoses, and has the patience of a saint when answering questions that come from an uninformed or confused patient. The thoroughness of his H&P review, the care in his testing and diagnosis, and the reports his gives are of the highest order. He has also heavily invested in the (very costly) most up-to-date medical technology for his practice, and anything better could probably only be found in an eye-surgery setting. But what puts Dr Kimura in the pantheon of the best is the care and devotion he provides to his patients. A few days ago I developed what was a very worrisome new eye condition, and which may have needed immediate intervention. I phoned his office late evening on a Saturday, listened to a recording which instructed me to call another number. That was also a recording, but not the usual "Leave me alone, dial 9-1-1" It asked for a name, contact number, brief description of ailment, and promised that I would get a return call from someone "shortly". A mere five minutes later, "ring-ring". "Hello Dr. Kimura!" He took down my concerns, explained exactly what he thought might be occurring, the precautions to take, and the actions to follow if symptoms deteriorated any further. He also gave me the phone number of a 24-hour eye surgery hospital to call in an emergency, and if no emergency, to make an appointment with them as soon as possible. Done. I will remember forever the care, concern, reassurance assistance (over half-an-hour on a Saturday evening) that Dr Kimura provided me. What can you say to someone who cares so much about someone under his or her care? Perhaps, with humility and the utmost gratitude, "Thank you, Doctor?" read more

I'm really glad I went to Dr. Kimura! I went for my check up and to get a new RX for contacts as well as to chat with him about the possibility of lasik surgery. He explained to me what tests are required and stated the importance of properly prepping for those tests to determine eligibility. I decided to get contacts instead for now and I have to applaud how patient and accommodating Dr. Kimura was with me during my process of finding the right pair of contacts over the course of a couple of weeks (I've always had issues with contacts). He was thorough and I appreciated him sticking with me until I found the right ones that also fit my budget/insurance coverage. Months later I'm still happy with my choice. Dr. Kimura also educated me during my visit and even noticed something about my eyes that could contribute to dryness that no other doctor had mentioned. His office is clean and staff is friendly. Thank you Dr. Kimura! read more

The staff here is super friendly, they validate parking and he has a nice selection of glasses! Dr Kimura is thorough and I feel goes beyond to provide you with quality service. read more

I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Kimura and his assistant, Jackie. They were informative, pleasant and so patient with my questions. Dr. Kimura is so knowledgeable and really seems to enjoy his profession. I learned plenty of new things about my eyes and left feeling cared for and more aware of my visual health. Jackie was so helpful with trying new frames. Even though I ultimately purchased frames elsewhere, my experience was superb. I plan to come back for my contact lens and dilated eye exams. I recommend this office for anyone seeking a thorough visual exam with caring and competent professionals. read more

I love working with Dr. Kimura and Evie. They always take such great care of me and my boyfriend. Dr. Kimura is as down to earth as can be. He's quick, efficient and very thorough. His staff are always super friendly. Very helpful. At the front of the helm is Evie. She's been there a long time and knows what she's doing! She is super knowledgable and my favorite to work with, when selecting eyeglasses. Dr. Kimura's office has a very personal feel. Customer service is excellent, and lasts long after you leave with your new glasses. I highly recommend this office if you're looking for a new Optometrist! read more

Dr. Daniel K. Kimura was such a refreshing Dr. experience. I am sending my wife and all my friends to him. The man is a pro.

Dr. Kimura is a sweetie pie and his staff is SUPER nice. They have an appointment system online so it's really convenient to schedule. The woman that does the glasses, I want to say her name is Yvee is patient and honest. Seriously, sat there for a minute while I tried on like 20 pairs of glasses and shades. Best of all (probably how he won me over) Dr. Kimura is a SERIOUS foodie and always has great recommendations for good places to grub. Super thorough. Two thumbs up! read more

I had a very good first time experience with Dr. Kimura. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions patiently . His staff is super nice and friendly and I will definitely recommend him to others and be back myself read more

I can't say enough good things about this guy. I hadn't been to an eye doctor in a long time and came in slightly panicked due to an infection. He treated it carefully and explained every detail. He even let me come back free of charge so he could just check In on the progress of my healing. He's truly the best! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Kimura after my annual eye exam with him today. He spent a considerable amount of time with me, was very thorough in his exam, and I left feeling very confident that I was leaving with the correct prescription. His office staff is also welcoming and helpful. Overall, a terrific experience! read more

Dr. Kimura is great. He's been my optometrist for 5.5 years, and he gives me great advice and referrals when necessary. Although I prefer cheap frames, sometimes I will buy them from his office because they have some of the better brands and thin lens materials out there. It's a bit expensive at times, but the glasses I've bought with the help of the staff have never let me down, and the service every time I go is excellent. read more

Daniel Kimura OD is really able to help with all the knowledge and tools he has. He even called the lab to make sure the lenses could be made correctly. He is just very professional, I can only highly recommend him. Didi is the optometrist, she has a lot of experience and will make sure your glasses are a fit for you. Just very professional people there!! read more

Dr. Kimura is diligent in his process, and really listens to the concerns of his patients. I have had some odd issues with my eyes in recent years, and believe it or not, after much testing and discussion, the resolution was as simple as changing my contact solution. Neither of two prior optometrists had been able to help me with eye comfort, and for his amazing DILIGENCE, and professionalism, Dr. Kimura gets five GOLD stars. So happy that I was recommended to him...fantastic, very professional and knowledgeable staff also, and they take insurance. read more

Dr.Kimura and his staff are excellent! Dr.Kimura doesn't rush between patients, he takes his time to make sure you are receiving optimal care. He spent an hour with me to do a full examination and then followed up with me on several other appointments to make sure I had the right contact and glasses prescription. His staff is extremely friendly and accommodating to fit you in for an appointment that works with your schedule. They were also helpful in picking out my glasses frames. Dr.Kimura had an extensive selection of the exact brand of frames I was looking for. I highly recommend Dr.Kimura! read more

I love Dr. Kimura! He's so helpful and kind and patient. He can also do many of the things my ophthalmologist used to do, like tear duct plugs and helping with pink eye. And the office staff is so kind to my two year old son when we are picking out glasses. read more

Dr. Kimura is one of the more knowledgeable optometrists in the region who goes well beyond the more ground level services of eyeglass and contact lens prescription by offering top level care for ophthalmic conditions such as glaucoma and the monitoring of retinal conditions. The office has OCT and Visual Field machines and Dr. Kimura uses them as needed to support a detailed ophthalmic examination. Additionally, any costs not covered by insurance are very reasonable and the staff is extremely friendly without being overbearing. Dr. Kimura is very caring, modest and accommodating. I highly recommend his medical expertise and to visit his office and staff for all your optometric needs. read more

Even though I do not live in the area, I have been going to Dr Kimura for many years. His examination is extremely thorough and I have extreme confidence in him. His staff are friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend Dr Kimura. read more
