When I first walked in, I thought I walked into a pediatrician's office. It has a very comfy, kid-friendly feeling. This was probably because their entire front office is dedicated to kids with toys and stuffed animals. They have a pretty large selection of glasses that range from normal to cool. The staff is also really nice. A staff member listened to what I was looking for and recommended some nice glasses for me to try. I think I'll be back to make a purchase. I think the prices were pretty reasonable too. There's metered parking on Santa Monica Blvd and residential parking available on a side street. read more

I've had two very bad experiences with how they charge people. Pretty much, they try to rip people off! First, was few years ago when I got glasses here and I thoroughly checked my bill, which I never did before, and realized my insurance paid them more then they put on my receipt. So called them and asked them why did u charge me charge extra $80 when my insurance actually covered that portion. They tried to make excuses so I called my insurance and they called them. I ended up with a refund from them. This was so shady I stopped going there. Fast forward 5 years later I need contact exam so I go there because it's close to me and my other optometrist was booked and farther. Big mistake! Took two hours first of all and they tried to overcharge me again! I called them out and they said oh Let me check and went from trying to charge over $250 for the exam when I have insurance with $20 copay to charging $75. First I never get charged for exam. I just pay the co pay so I was thrown off. They said I got a glasses exam but the contact exam costs extra. I've always known optometrist office to give u the option of either or. Not do both when u don't need it and just charge u. Also, I understand there is sometimes a fitting fee but they usually tell u before and I've never had to pay unless there is new prescription, which was not the case here. I specifically told the doctor I don't need glasses just contacts. Gave her all the contact prescription info. Which was what she used to give me my prescription! I always steer clear of health offices that make me feel ripped off when I walk out of the office. This place was the worst! All I can do is never go back and spread the word so others don't make the same mistake. read more

When I went to this place last year, it was a mediocre experience. I decided to park in their back lot so I didn't have to pay the meters in the front. The lot has obvious signs that indicate parking for patients of Dr. C only. As soon as I pulled into a spot, someone on the staff, who was standing in the doorway to the office, looked at me as if I was illegally parking. Anyways, when I got out of the car, the person immediate yelled/asked if I was there to see an optometrist. WTH? Yes. Why else would I park here? The experience with Dr. C was again mediocre. She seemed pleasant, but then she seemed super interested in WHY I had chosen to see her rather than another optometrist. I answered because I work close-by and it was convenient that they had parking. Apparently that answer did not satisfy her because she asked again WHY I chose her because there were much closer places to where I worked. Ok...? Thanks? I'll go elsewhere next time. Anyways, I finished with the eye exam and got my contacts and left. Fast forward to a year after my first appointment (today 1/27/2016): I get random call from the office saying my appointment tomorrow needs to be rescheduled because Dr. C is sick. BUT I DON'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW. I remember very purposefully not scheduling one because I did not like how I was treated at my first visit. All in all, nothing at this place sat well with me: unfriendly staff, a doctor who was weirdly interested as to why I chose her, and an appointment that was forced upon me. The only good thing that came from this place was Dr. C telling me that there are much closer optometrists to where I work. Thanks for the advice. I will be taking it. read more

I just had to give another thank you to Dr C Optometry! they are the best. I don't know what I would do without them. We literally consider everybody their family we have been going there are whole lives like I've said before And I honestly just can't say enough. It's so nice and refreshing to go to a local business Add to feel like your family. read more

An eye doctor is an eye doctor, right?! Wrong. Until you have been to a truly caring, thorough and competent Optometrist, like Dr. C, you do not realize how much an eye doctor can really do. The best story to illustrate how much Dr. C cares is that I was having a weird pain in my eyes and called her office number after hours. I left a message not expecting to get a call until they opened again. Within a half-an-hour I received a call back asking me if I could come in the next hour, on her day off, to have an exam! I often heard friends complain that their eye doctor constantly bully them into buying item through them- Dr. C and her staff have never done that. She also has given me free samples to make sure something is the right product for me- before I spent money at the pharmacist. My company changed their vision insurance, one Dr. C wasn't on, and I recently had to go to a different optometrist. Boy, what a night and day difference. I am confident the new doctor gave me the wrong prescription, something she dismissed when I questioned her. So, I am going to back to Dr. C and just paying out-of-pocket. That is how good she is. read more

Lynnette Cacciotti or Dr. "C" as I prefer to call her, has been my primary I doctor for years. I wouldn't go to anyone else! She is extremely knowledgeable, very patient and treats every customer as if they were a part of her own family. Her Business ethics are impeccable and her kindness is unlimited. Not only does she have an amazing selection of the hottest trending eyeglasses and sports related eye wear! But she also has the most current technology and equipment. Not only is she the quintessential "perfect ophthalmologist" but she has trained her staff to meticulously care for the needs of every person that comes through the door. She is exceptional in her profession and I only wish there were more stars to give her. As a forensic children social worker in LA County I don't have a lot of time or energy to invest in medical providers that are less than the best for my family. I have meticulously researched the best professionals from all medical fields. Dr. Cacciotti, in my humble opinion is simply THE BEST! read more

If you are looking for one of the most preeminent, highly respected and knowledgeable optometrist look no further than Dr. Lynette Cacciotti, or "Dr. C" as her patients fondly call her. My ophthalmologist Kevin M. Miller, M.D. who is the Kolokotrones Chair in Ophthalmology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Chief of the Cataract and Refractive Surgery Division at the Stein Eye Institute, and is recognized locally and internationally for his teaching, research and patient care activities recommended Dr. C to me as one of the best optometrist in Los Angeles. My son and I have been going to Dr. C ever since Dr. Miller recommended her in 2007 and I can honestly say, "To know Dr. C is to love her." There has never been a time in the past nine years that my son or I have walked out of Dr. C's office without feeling completely satisfied and happy with our eye care experience and the services we received. She is friendly, accessible, has a great personality and treats everyone with courtesy and respect. Dr. C is a brilliant optometrist who is passionate about her work and stays relevant about everything in the eye care field. She inspires trust and confidence by being committed to giving her patients the highest level of eye care. By now I think you realize how highly I think of Dr. C and how wonderful she is, and that also extends to everyone who works in her office. Dr. Chau Tri Nakada is an excellent and knowledgeable optometrist as well. Letty is the nicest and most helpful office manager you will ever meet, and Violet is the best optician I have ever been to with an impeccable sense of taste for what frames will look good on you. I love the frames that Violet helped me choose, they are so lightweight and comfortable that I forget I am even wearing glasses, and I am constantly getting compliments on them. There is a huge selection of fashionable frames to choose from. The front office staff who greet you, answer the phones and schedule appointments are all very friendly too. When you walk into the office of Dr. C Optometry the atmosphere is like walking into a cheerful living room in someone's home. There are comfy chairs and a couch to sink into. There are toys for the children to play with making it child friendly. There is a wall size bookcase filled with interesting books and a huge glass bowl sits on one of the bookshelves filled to the brim with a delicious assortment of candies. I know if you decide to make Dr. C your optometrist that you will enjoy your experience with her as much as my son and I have enjoyed ours. read more

Dr. Cacciotti has been our optometrist for years. Every time we visit, we are always greeted by the best staff who's ready to help at a moment's notice. The toys, the candy, books and good music; Dr. C has something for everyone to enjoy and pass the time while they wait to be called. Dr. C is the best optometrist that my husband and I have had the pleasure to know. Treat your eyes to the best. Go see Dr. C. Nahed and Warren Rott read more

Dr. C has been great for me. I was out of work and they were able to fit my budget. I never felt rushed. They took the time to explain me everything I needed to know. My contacts fit very well and I will be reordering every month from Dr C. read more

Possibly the friendliest and most professional service I've ever experienced. I'm honestly amazed by Dr. Cacciotti and her excellent staff. I showed up at Dr. C's without an appointment, without my health provider's vision card, blind as a bat after having broken my glasses, and frustrated, as several other doctors were only offering me appointments a week out. I was received by a super-nice person, I didn't have to wait long, I got a new prescription in no time, I got a great eye check up, I got consulted and got an excellent new pair of glasses... and it all just seemed right. I felt incredibly comfortable all along. I reckon there's a lot of good things I could say about Dr. C, but what I really want to highlight is the fact that she took some 10 minutes to show me the results of my eye exam, explain thoroughly what I was seeing on screen, what it all meant, what I should do about it, etc. Dr. C cares. That's priceless to me. read more

I highly recommend this optometry office. Dr. Nakada gave me the most thorough eye exam in the 13 years I've been going to get my eyes checked (at different places trying to find an optometrist right for me. I can now say, I have found the place for my eyes!). The exam did last longer than all of the places I've been to before, but at the end, I felt like everything had been checked and rechecked for accuracy. The feeling you get when you walk in is very family oriented. There is a section for kids, and a pretty big seating area with lots of things to read and nice comfy chairs that you just sink right into (and not to mention little sweets to munch on). The staff are all great, very warm and welcoming. They don't make you feel like you're at a doctor's office, the atmosphere is very light and cheerful. Violet, who helped me pick my glasses and adjust them, has really good taste in helping me pick out glasses with the style I was looking for. She let me pick out a couple of frames to order for me to try and the one she suggested I order to try was the one I ended up getting. She definitely has a good eye. read more

Everyone here is so nice and helpful! I've been going here since I moved to LA about a year and a half ago. I actually found this place on Yelp and the reviews are dead on. I recommended Dr. C Optometry to my boyfriend and he likes them as well. They were quick and helpful. They have new up to date or better technology. I've always hated the glaucoma test machine where they shoot air into your eye. They have a new machine for that here. It doesn't make me cry anymore. I've been here 2 years in a row and I will definitely be back next here. The people are so friendly and patient its great! From the staff when you walk in to both optometrists. Plus if you refer someone you get a $20 referral credit coupon. Winning! read more

Dr. C is awesome! She answered all of my questions and is super friendly! She was able to see me in a timely manner and didn't keep me waiting! Make sure you bring change or a credit card for parking. It's metered but it's RIGHT outside! So convenient! read more

These optometrists are FANTASTIC! I never thought I'd like an eye doctor so much, but the people here are efficient, friendly, and helpful. The woman who helped me pick out my glasses was honest (what is needed when one is glasses shopping solo) and told me all sorts of little tricks for glasses wearers! They also contacted me quickly, knowing I'd be going out of town and was hoping to get my glasses sooner. The doctor was great, and was kind enough to offer me methods of contacting her if I should acquire the dreaded pink eye (I work with children). I moved to Chicago recently, but I'm seriously thinking of coming back here next time I'm due for an eye exam! They are all wonderful!! The personalized touches go a long way. read more

Probably the best optometrist experience I've had yet...and that says something since I started wearing thick glasses the age of 9 . I'm so blind at 26 yrs old that I qualify for a full year's supply of contacts at no cost to me due to meeting the "medical necessity" req with my insurance provider. Obviously, what YOU qualify for depends on your own insurance, prescription, etc...but my point is that Dr. Nakada at Dr. C Optometry made it a point to let me know that I was eligible - that's some excellent customer service in my book! Overall -- Dr. Nakada and the entire office have been super helpful, friendly, honest, and it's CLEAR that they put the patient's best interest at the forefront. :) If you're looking for a new pair of glasses, they also have a wide variety of frames and not to mention, I admire the boutique feel of the office. If you need a new eye doctor, be sure to check out Dr. C Optometry! read more

Phenomenal customer service. Very little wait time. Friendly staff. My doctor was super nice. She answered all my questions and explained the pros and cons of lasik eye surgery, so I make a well informed decision. read more

Dr. C Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dr. Nakada saw me on 10 minutes' notice for an urgent retinal scan and diagnosis. She was professional, kind, and efficient. The entire staff was helpful and accommodating, and even though I needed to pay out of pocket, the pricing was very reasonable (they even gave me a small discount). A wonderful and very well qualified business. read more

Dr. C and her staff give excellent thorough care. I highly recommend her! She is among the last of old-school, independent optometrists who provide a lot of personal expert attention. I went to her for a checkup and a new prescription and got a new pair of glasses that changed my life for the better. Thank you Dr. C! read more

Thanks for the great service Dr. Nakada! I have struggled to find a good pair of contact lenses that don't bother my eyes. After putting things off, I went in to see her and now I am wearing contacts again. She was very accommodating and helped me find a pair that worked for me. Going through this process definitely showed my how vested she is in her clients. By far the best optometrist I have ever been to. Thanks Dr. Nakada read more

Dr. C Optometry has a warm and welcoming environment with a helpful, and accomodating staff. I wear glasses and love their selection of designer frames which I always get compliments from my co-workers who are now repeat patients of Dr. C. as well. Dr. C treats us like we are her own family and she has been amazing treating my autistic son who is normally fearful of going to an eye doctor. Her approach is warm, professional and reassuring with children which is a godsend for us. I have been a patient for over 8 years and I will continue to give them my business. Virginia M. read more

Been coming here since 2012 and I really enjoy the staff. I first met Dr. Nakada and she is so sweet and genuine. I see her once a year but she remembers me and that makes me feel like I matter. She took very good care of me on my first visit. The staff is great. They are patient and attentive. They get you in to eye doctor in a timely fashion. They also remember you. Today (06/10/15) I met Dr. Cacciotti for the first time and she is just as sweet as Dr. Nakada. She made me feel comfortable and important. It was a pleasure meeting with her today. I'm glad I found an eye doctor and establishment that I can honestly say I love. Keep up the fabulous work! read more

Love this office so much! I saw Dr Duong and she was so thorough and put me at ease about my concerns. What a great team Dr C has chosen. Violet is the best and really is always spot on. Her recommendations are realistic and very flattering. She is so professional! Thank you all so much! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. C's for at least 25years. She has been my Optometrist from contact lenses through diagnosing my cataracts and fitting me with new glasses after surgery. She has given me excellent eye care and has always been warm, personable and professional. I have found her staff to be helpful and willing to research and answer my questions. Violet, the tech who fits the glasses, can always be counted on to assist me in finding flattering and functional frames. The office itself is open and cheerful with comfortable seating and that always available candy selection... I recommend her and her associates to anyone who values the very best in eyecare. read more

Dr. C and her staff are so organized, kind and efficient. I had a really great experience here, this was exactly what I needed in an optometrist! read more

Wow, just thank you. I came in because I lost the screw for my glasses and the side came off and they fixed it and didn't charge. They were professional and so nice. I hope to bring them additional business when the need arises. read more

Where do I even begin? I have been a patient of Dr. C for over 19 years. Yes, you read it correctly...19 years!! I remember when she was right in Westwood Village. She and her staff are the most caring and professional people I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I trust no one but Dr. C with my eyes and Dr. Nakada with my children's eyes. If you are looking for an overall wonderful experience then look no further!! You can thank me later :) read more

As good as advertised. Thought it might be suspect due to the only 18 reviews and all 5 stars, but they got my business too! Didn't even have to dilate my eyes, took a digital photo instead. Dr. C found my astigmatism and walked out to Santa Monica Blvd with me and some lenses to see if I needed new lenses to see street signs. Solid, she'll be my eye doctor as long as I'm on the westside. read more

Professional, efficient and knowledgable with a great and friendly staff. 5 stars all around for an awesome experience!

I've been going to doctors offices for 29 years and I haven't felt this comfortable since I was born. Dr C is a Golden Goddess

I'm not sure I can say much more about Dr. C and her entire staff that hasn't already been said in the other reviews. She's been my optometrist for around 15 years, but what she did for me today I can't thank her enough. Without warning, my retina started to tear. It was 11:30 a.m. I called Dr. C's office and explained what I was experiencing. I had no idea what was wrong. I was told to come right in and Dr. C would see me. As soon as I got there Dr. C diagnosed the problem and her staff immediately was on the phone getting me an urgent referral at the Doris Stein Eye Institute at UCLA. By 2 p.m. I was having laser treatment to repair the tear. Thank you Dr. C for seeing me on a moment's notice and getting me the urgently needed treatment in time to repair my retina before in became detached. read more

Honestly, the BEST optometrist I've ever been to! Dr. C takes the time to listen and goes over all options for you! Very friendly staff! I've never gotten attached to an O.D. but this is my first time I'm going to go solely to Dr. C.! 10/10 recommend read more

Great optometrists and good selection of frames and contact lenses! Service is outstanding! Not having to wait for my appointment was a great perk too! Great technology used for the eye exam, the technicians sped me right along! Dr C is well versed in her career to say the least, not sure if there's a question about eyes she couldn't answer! There is also parking out back behind their convenient Santa Monica Blvd location! Super front of the house and optical shop staff as well! Highly recommend! Oh and they accept VSP vision insurance! read more

Dr. Nakata has helped both my kids and been kind, professional and generally great. The office staff are helpful and communicative. We have been coming for several years. She is especially good with small kids and also does vision therapy. read more

Everyone here is extremely helpful and professional. I was trying to pick out eyeglasses and the Dr. even came over and gave me her input between patients. They explain your insurance benefits and present you with all the information you need. Open Saturday is a huge plus! There are a few parking spaces in the back, otherwise its metered parking in the front or a few street spaces down the block. read more

Dr. C Optometry is fantastic! I've been a patient for 14 years and I'd still be if my company hadn't switched vision insurance. (*sigh / ugly cry face) I'm going to miss them. I've known Dr. C, Letty, and Violet for many years. Dr. C and her entire staff are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and the nicest and warmest people. I recommended Dr. C to many of my friends over the years and they're all still patients. I promise you, you're going to love it here. read more

Two words, THE BEST! Very professional and caring. Dr. C just earned a client for life... read more

Dr.C is the best! You get a very detailed eye exam. She has a great knowledgable staff to help fit you with eye ware, and the selection is excellent, with a lot of nice designer brands. She is also set up very well for children and there is an extensive selection of children's frames. read more

I love Dr C and her office staff! She take her time and follows u through the entire appointment. Her staff is always cheerful and make you feel at home. read more

Dr. Cacciotti "Dr. C" is absolutely the best! She is pleasant, thorough, and professional. The equipment is state-of-the-art, and she is truly caring which puts my child completely at ease for her check-ups. The level of care here is exemplary! I do agree with another reviewer that the staff is laid back and they don't inform you if appointments are running a bit late - the solution: just ask them! Dr. C takes the time to give her full attention to each patient without rushing no matter how busy it is, and waiting 10-15 minutes past the appointment time is not unusual for any physician visit. I highly recommend Dr. C Optometry! read more

Two stars for the overall experience. First the good: Dr C is a good optometrist. Now the bad: parking is very bad, as residential apartment development has taken many of the street parking spaces, and the tandem parking in the alley out back requires moving your car so that others can get their cars out. Metered street parking out front is shared with an adjacent dance/exercise studio, so parking can be limited when a dance/exercise class is in session. Additionally, we have always spent at least 2 hours overall, including waiting, eye exam, and selecting frames. Selecting frames can be a high pressure sales experience, which is done at the end of the exam, so the natural feeling is that you just want to leave because you have been there too long already. Sometimes it seems that the sales pressure takes advantage of this. My recommendation is to break the process into 2 visits: one for the exam, and the other to select frames so that you are fresh and more able to resist the sales pressure. read more
