Experience with the doctor was nice. However, there is an extremely unprofessional and disinterested female receptionist. I had a horrible experience when I called in (on 20th May at 1:28PM, in case the management would like to take note) to get a new appointment. I almost decided to cancel based on my talk with this receptionist. Extremely disinterested and talking as if every word is a huge burden. Towards the end, I asked for her name and she realized she was probably in trouble and cut the call. I tried calling twice immediately. The second time she picked up and cut the call. I am now left with a few questions about my appointment unanswered. Extremely unprofessional. I was going to provide this place with additional business given the in house lens fabrication, however, with this type of service I'm looking to go elsewhere. read more

Every time I visit this optometry, it feels like they're constantly recommending unnecessary exams, seemingly to increase the bill. It comes across more as a sales tactic than genuine healthcare, so be cautious and don't hesitate to say no. Each visit often turns into a push for extra "essential" tests that conveniently cost more. It's frustrating when doctors don't stick to what's truly necessary and instead focus on upselling. Be especially careful about what your insurance covers versus what the clinic charges. This particular optometry has a reputation for overcharging--particularly the staff member pictured in the photos I've attached. Make sure you know exactly what you're agreeing to before paying. read more

Eyes On The Bloc Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just can't believe it took me this long to find this optometrist this whole time I've lived nearby. We've been all over LA from DTLA to the valley to Koreatown and this one by far has been the best. Location is conveniently located at THE BLOC. They do validate but lucky for us, we were close enough to walk! The location is gorgeous and by far the cleanest and modern office we've visited. Diana greeted me warmly and walked me through all the tests before I met Dr. McMahon. What a cool station where you can just roll your chair up to each piece of equipment. Extremely mindful customer experience and design. Dr. McMahon is awesome. She was super friendly, full of energy, and answered all my questions. When I mentioned my old contacts weren't performing as well as they used to, she suggested some new brands to try and gave me some samples. She was the first eye doctor that has informed me that one of my eyes has a slightly weaker prescription with mild astigmatism. I had assumed both of them were exactly the same but I appreciated the attention to detail! We didn't come in for frames, but we couldn't help noticing how stylish their selection was in comparison to other spots we've been to. The funky contact cases in the bathroom were so unique! I really appreciated the little details in the decor. They were a bit more expensive than our other doctors, but the stellar service and good vibes make it totally worth it. Our last optometrist bought out the location of our old doctor and they were super pushy and we never experienced that here. I would recommend this optometrist for anyone living in DTLA. read more

Great experience getting my eye exam and new glasses here. Dr. Regier and the staff were very professional and personable. The office is clean and modern. I didn't feel like I was in a production line of patients... I've found my new eye doctor! read more

I had a bad experience years ago, so I have been avoiding this place for years, but I decided to give it a second chance today much to my huge regret. After the eye exam, I had told the receptionist that I did not want any glasses. I never definitively said I wanted anything. She tried to be pushy and say well if your boyfriend is paying for it anyway just do it. I said no. I'm not going to use them. I stepped into the restroom while my boyfriend was on his cell phone and when I came back out apparently they were already cutting them for me. Apparently, they asked my boyfriend to authorize it, but I am the patient and I did not authorize it. I told them I don't want them. I started crying. They said "well it's already being cut now. It's too late." I'm so far beyond irate. I feel violated. I need that money back to my boyfriend asap! I will bring the glasses back I just need this fixed!!! Do not go here, they do not listen to you! The only thing I asked for were eyedrop samples and they didn't even give me those. I can't believe how absolutely sick I feel about this. What kind of business lets a decision be made without the actual patients consent???? The longer that goes without rectification, the more it's making my blood absolutely boil in anger over such a violation of the patient's decision. read more

Having been to several optometry offices in the past, this one stands out. Dr Regier takes a lot of time to get the prescription right. Equally important is the excellent optician, who fits the glasses and lenses. Staff is very friendly and it's a good experience. read more

After struggling with a range of vision symptoms yet to be addressed by specialists in hematology, neurology, and rheumatology, I finally found some relief after visiting Dr. McMahon! Despite a packed schedule, she saw me the same day and suggested we try "prism" lenses. The tension in my body immediately released after trying on a sample pair. I was told to expect the revised lenses to be ready within a week (installed in my original frames). These lenses will provide much-needed relief and have pointed towards a potential underlying issue that previous imaging like MRI and CT scans hadn't revealed. This information is going to be critical as I work with my medical team to find the root cause. Dr. McMahon's quick thinking and expertise have been a game-changer for my care. Thanks again! *** If you're looking for an optometrist in DTLA go here *** read more

A few years ago, I decided rather last minute that I wanted new glasses for an upcoming trip. I was put on a wait list at first, but Dr. Regier's staff was able to find an appointment for me and the glasses were made in time. I was amazed by their level of service and I have been a client ever since. Both Doctors Regier and McMahon are great and I highly recommend this office. read more

I moved two and a half hours away from Eyes on the Bloc. In the suburbs I tried to find optometrist as professional as Dr. Regier, and it was impossible. The first eye doctor couldn't even get my contact lenses OD and OS correct! I asked her for and received a refund for the exam. I tried another optometrist. This doctor could not get my prescription right, and she gave me expired trial lenses! I was a patient with Dr. Regier for over 14 years, and I never had a problem with my prescriptions. I have concluded that a correct prescription is more important than a clerical error. I am now back with Dr. Regier. I made one visit for an exam, and my lenses were ready in just a few days. Thank you Dr. Regier! read more

Beautiful place with top notch professionals. It is located at the ground level at The Bloc plaza read more

Dr. Regier and his staff are amazing, been coming here for two years now and couldn't be happier! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. The service here is very professional and you can tell they genuinely care about the health of your eyes. During my first visit Dr. Regier suggested I move to a different pair of contacts that are specifically designed for extended computer use. Since the switch my prescription has barely changed and my eyes don't get irritated or dry as often. read more

Busy office and customer service is rude. specially Richard. *update: I never visited to this office. My experience was bad over the phone. For business owner. If you want to know what happened please go ahead and check record of the calla on review post date. Also, at the time I called there was not any protest going on in DTLA. read more

I have so many bad things to say about this office. 1. I have medical insurance and they have been charging me incorrectly on my copayment (overcharging on EVERY visit). I called them today finding out that this has happened multiple times. 2. The doctor insists that you come every week for a check up just to make money off of you. I had cornea damage and there were rarely any significant changes within a week's time and he and I both clearly knew that (as things like cornea damage takes time to heal). Avoid this office at all costs and make sure to verify your bills and copayment! I will take legal actions (through my lawyer) if I am not refunded the difference. read more

Needed my eyes checked so I YELPED and found this place. Literally walked from our condo to this place. Quick 10 minute walk. Great modern space with nice equipment. They have a lab inside to cute your lenses. Nice array of frames from Chanel to Tom Ford. Saw both Dr. McMahon and Dr. Regier. Both helpful and friendly. Went back twice though because first round of lenses were not helping and saw Dr. Regier instead and he corrected my lenses at no cost. Thank you. See you soon. Trust! read more

I was referred to Dr. Regier's practice after changing insurance plans. It was a delightful experience from beginning to end. I was greeted by Tiffany who completed my intake and eye tests and scans. She was extremely patient and understanding as I have long eyelashes and I do not like the "Air poof" test. My optometrist, Dr. Elizabeth was also amazing! Great natures, easy going and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks so much for the great experience and I'm looking forward to getting my stylish spectacles. read more

The staff was nice and helpful. They have a large selection of frames. I changed the lenses for my frames and they did a great job.

Their is Parking location on sight which is a plus considering parking in DTLA is horrible, friendly staff, extremely clean and elegant office and great selection on high end brands for glasses , However the staff is a little bit pushy when it comes To adding on features to the lenses or eye exams they keep insisting to add on things or you won't be satisfied with Your lenses. You have to be firm when it comes to saying no otherwise you will get pressured to adding Something you may not have needed. None the less their customer service satisfactory. I loved The glasses I chose and the lenses as well. read more

This is a very convenient location in the Bloc and it was easy to get an appointment. I checked my insurance (HMO- blue cross Vision) and it was in-network so I decided to come here. The doctor and staff were very friendly and nice, however, I wish they had been upfront about pricing. They offered to do a retina imaging test but it was $39.99 so I declined and did a traditional dilation instead. But then I got my bill at the end of my appointment- $10 co-pay and $150 for a "contact lens fitting." If I had known it was $150 (my insurance only covered $15 of that), I might have just re-ordered contacts with my old prescription, since I am happy with my current prescription/contact lenses. I just feel like $150 is a lot for a simple exam for contacts which I have already had for years. It was kinda sticker shock at the end when everything was already done. read more

Been going to Dr Regier for a very long time. He is fantastic. Explains everything really well. His staff is very professional and helpful. read more

I've been going to Dr. Regier's office for more than five years and can attest to the quality service that is afforded every time I go in for an appointment, pick up contact lenses, or just feel like getting a new pair of reading/sun glasses. All of the staff is knowledgeable about all things eye-related and they don't even get annoyed when I want to try on twenty frames that all kinda look the same =) They usually have appointments available and have been accomodating when I have to work around my wacky school/work schedule when making my eye appointments. They also take my insurance (VSP) which is also a plus. read more

I needed a tiny fix for a pair of glasses- the screw fell off one of the handles and I expected it to cost a few bucks. Came in and the nice gentleman who might be Mr. Gary but I actually don't know for sure fixed it in a sec for free! He was so nice and not just because of the free service. The place looked impeccable and I just had to recommend the service. Will come here next time it's time to buy a pair of glasses, 5 stars service deserves business! read more

We needed our eyes badly examined and thankfully they got us right in! And discovered my eyes were over prescribed!! No more headaches! I'm so grateful! Waiting on my glasses but already excited! My partner got his and he's delighted, our last place didn't line it up right for him and he never got used to the trifocals. But eyes on the block did! They got it right and he's styling now!! read more

I have been to this location twice, previously for myself and today, for my son. The staff are all very nice and Veronica was able to look up my insurance information when I forgot to bring my card. Aside from the standard eye exam and prescription filling, they were able to take an old pair of scratched non prescription Raybans I had, and swapped them out to prescription sunglass lenses! What also makes this location special is that if they have your prescription lenses in stock, they can have your frames ready for you in less than an hour. My son's frames were ready in 20 minutes. My lenses had to be ordered but, my frames were still ready in a few days. They validate 2 hour parking. read more

I've been going to Dr. Regier office since I was 11 years old. Docs help me out a lot from having my blood pressure out of control to in control. Why? He took pictures of my optic nerve and showed me my vessels that where deteriorating. Told me what I should do and I did it. Three years later my vision has improved and actually gotten better! Wth!?!? The staff there is awesome love the all! Paula thank you're always a pleasure! Perry helped me with my sunglasses and set them straight! Went from a I don't care 300.00 pair of not fitting right Burberry to I care about what happens to them now! Veronica, and Richard! They are a little on the $$ side, but to me worth every $! As you can see in the other reviews.... Dr's bedside manner is right on point! Cracks me up! And as mellow as can be! read more

Great staff & very professional. They go the extra mile to make sure you're satisfied.

This was my first time at the clinic. I found the staff very helpful and accommodating. Dr. Regier was very friendly and explained all the things related to eye exam very clearly. read more

Dr. McMahon is the best! She listened to all my concerns and answered all of my questions. She even discovered I was eligible for a year's worth of free medically necessary contacts which no other office had told me. Thus SAVING ME A GRAND! The people are friendly, the place is modern and clean and they validate parking. Get your eye-balls in here STAT! read more

This was my second eye test in my life (15 years since my first) so I really didn't have any expectations. BUT, if I did have expectations I think I still would have been pretty pleased. They were super quick, the office feels nice and clean and comfortable, and everyone that works there is super friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend! read more

The technician (Perry) yelled at me for returning eyeglasses that were too heavy for my face (after getting deep dents on my nose for prolonged wear). He claimed there were scratches but the second reason I was returning the glasses was because I saw they were scratched when I got them and I have an email confirming I informed them of the scratches shortly after picking them up. Initially, I called and he agreed to the exchange beforehand but seemed to be especially upset about something else. Maybe that Trump lost the election? Last time I was here, he was blasting Trump speeches from his office. He cursed and used profanity at me. Obviously discrimination because he seems miserable with his own life. Please keep the misery to yourself! read more

Walked in for an eye exam. The staff were friendly, patient, and informative! Would recommend!

Love this place! I have 20/20 vision but everyone else in my family unfortunately does not, so I make it a point to regularly keep up on my eye exams. Dr McMahon is THE BEST! My whole family goes to her. She's very knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. I really feel like everyone here cares about you and your health and treats you like family, not just another patient. I helped my mom pick out glasses here and they have a great selection of frames with top of the line lenses, my mom usually gets Costco lenses so can't wait to see if she notices a huge difference in her progressives. This place will continue to be my optometrist of choice! read more

Just saw the doctor for the 1st time for medical purposes Love the doctor and the friendly staff! read more

He is one of the best out there. No one could fit me properly for contacts because of my astigmatism. I've only had great results with him. Also just a professional and cool guy. read more

Excellent customer service very friendly staff, plus the equipment is top notch for your eye exams. I recommend Regier Gary O.D always taking his time to explain our questions,and concerns. Great selection of frames as well, Not counting they have a technician at the floor for any frame adjustments and questions regarding the care of your eyeglasses. Free parking with validation read more

I lost my glasses so was forced to go in and get an exam, prescription, frames and lens. I've been wearing glasses since I was 18 years old and have had many many exams and eyeglasses. This was the first time that I was "educated" during the visit. Thank you Dr. McMahon for being so thorough and informative. The entire staff was great. Also they had a very nice selection of frames. Pricy but you get what you pay for. I look forward to picking up my awesome new glasses. read more

I went in for a quick repair of my sunglasses and they were very nice and helpful. Repaired my sunglasses at no charge. Thank you!!

I stumbled across this eyeglass store on my way out of the shopping center. I had a new pair of sunglasses that were too loose on my face (I had been looking for a store that could tighten them for me). When I walked in they were very welcoming and they assisted immediately. My mind was blown away with the personal assistance that I was given, they made my sunglasses fit my face perfectly! I am more than satisfied with their services and I would recommend them to anyone experiencing the same issue as me. read more

Several people at work recommended Dr. Regier to me, and for good reason. He's an excellent optometrist with a warm, down-to-earth personality. His office staff is incredibly polite and very accommodating. I have entrusted my vision to Dr. Regier for years, and I highly recommend him. read more

My son had a great first visit at your office. You made him feel at ease and clearly explained the procedures and results. Thanks for your help! read more

What can I say about Dr. Regier - definitely one of the best doctors I've ever had. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the office looks sleek and modern with a great selection of frames, and Dr. Regier himself is super friendly and take the time to explain what he is doing (always appreciated when you're the patient). They are open weekends which is an added plus! I highly recommend. read more
