    Dr. Nishi and Dr. Gin are the best optometrists I've ever been to. My partner and I have been going for 15 years now and have always received excellent care and recommendations. It's a warm family practice and I've enjoyed getting to know the doctors; I feel like I've watched their kids grow up and have gotten helpful parenting advice from Dr. Nishi many times, haha. Truly a wonderful place. So grateful for all of their help over the years with glasses and contacts! My kids go here now too, since kindergarten. Everything is great from the easy, free parking to the kind front office staff. Great selection of adult and kid frames too! A+

    Got here before closing, yet they never opened the doors for me. Was standing outside for 20 minutes.

    Terrible service. I was there before closing. They told me repeatedly that the doors close at 7 sharp. Yet I was there 15 minutes prior and they could see me standing outside, even knocking on the door to open it. Yet they never bothered. I called beforehand to let them know that I would be coming late and I can see multiple staff inside just ignoring me. I came just to pick up the contacts that I purchased. Terrible staff.

    My family and I have been coming to Dr. Gin and Dr. Nishi for years and we absolutely love this place! The lobby is modern and the waiting area has a few chairs, but we've never had to wait more than 10 minutes after check-in. Our orders for glasses or contacts have always arrived on time and with little effort on our end - their staff is phenomenal and so kind. The reason I finally decided to leave a review: NEW TECH! The kids were happily surprised to see the "smart glasses" displayed in the lobby (they can't stop talking about them and my son thinks they will get him one step closer to being Ironman) and during my checkup, they had me put on "Neurolens", which apparently measures eye misalignment - such a fun test, you get to put on a VR headset and watch a cute video where you stare at a yellow dot (no air puffs on this one, yay!). If you are looking for an optometrist that has all the future tech and best eye doctors - we highly recommend Dr. Gin and Dr. Nishi's office.

    I wonder why my experience wasn't like all the five-star raves here, because honestly, this person…read moredoes NOT deserve that. To preface: I understand if an optometrist suspects something, they refer you to an ophthalmologist. That's normal. I also understand nerves can look "questionable," and I'm fine with being referred. In fact, I loved the ophthalmologist I ended up seeing. What bothers me is the sketchy way this all went down, which left me with a very suspicious gut feeling. First off, the "exam room" was basically a long storage closet with old papers stacked everywhere, a chair, and i actually think it was the closet -- just fully not a professional medical office. It felt dirty and disorganized, 100% total opposite of every other optometrist I've ever seen. First red flag. Then during the exam (not dilated), he kept making "hmm...uhhh..." noises while looking through his lens. When I asked what was wrong, he literally said: "When I look at your eye, I SEE GLAUCOMA." I was shocked. I had just turned 40 three months ago, have zero family history, and every other optometrist has told me my nerves looked healthy -- one even showed them on a big screen and called them "healthy nerve examples." I told him this and he replied, "Well, glaucoma can show up later," then added I "may need" laser treatment -- even though when he finally did a pressure test, it was normal. If my nerves looked suspicious, fine -- just say that and refer me. But declaring "I see glaucoma" without proof, without even explaining what glaucoma even is, was just so beyond unprofessional and unnecessarily frightening. ok SO the BIGGEST red flag: he insisted that I ONLY SEE HIS "friend" in Culver City, and (i am literally quoting him verbatim) "no ophthalmologists in Pasadena or this area are any good." Excuse me? We live in Los Angeles -- one of the biggest cities in the world, with UCLA, USC, and countless world-class specialists -- not the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, I'm sitting in this dude's gross closet of an office, thinking, "Does he not see where he's practicing? He expects me to trust this??" The irony was laughable if it hadn't been so alarming. Finally, despite acing my vision test, he told me I needed low-grade glasses. At checkout, the staff kept tacking on add-ons I didn't ask for ("blue light $60, anti-reflection $30, another $30..."), and I walked out $80 poorer for glasses I didn't need. I left in shock and immediately called my mom and brother (both MDs), who were just as stunned. I refused to call his "friend" and instead went to a reputable ophthalmologist my brother recommended. That doctor did a full workup with multiple scans, tests, and dilation, and told me my optic nerves are completely healthy -- just naturally a bit larger than average. He also confirmed I DO NOT need glasses. So this optometrist was the ONLY one who's ever told me I "have glaucoma." To me, it felt like fear tactics and upselling, and taking advantage of a woman he assumed was naïve. My advice: do NOT go here. If you're told something serious, get a second opinion from a board-certified ophthalmologist before you spend money or agree to treatment.

    My experience tells me before you prescribe the lens, make sure to double check the price and how…read moreare they going to charge you. I got an eye allergy in Nov and came in to check my eyes. So doctor assumed this might be caused by my current contact lens. He recommended of using a pair of weekly contacts instead of my current monthly contacts since I don't wear it that much. I fellow through and scheduled another appointment for a new pair of weekly contact 2 months later in Jan. Here is what got me frustrated... I came in and thought I can just try this pair of contact and pay for this pair of contact only since this is a new trial and I don't have vision insurance. I also just did my eye check up in Nov for my eye allergy. However, this is not what I've expected. He said he is a business man. He can't just give me the trial contact lenses to try on. Also based on the California law, I have to start over my eye exam every once a year. And my prescription has been expired in June so I have to redo it again. WTH!! I never heard that I have to do the eye exam each year and the prescription can ONLY last for an year?!! And when I looked up online, the prescription can last up to 2 years. Anyway, good thing I asked in more details before doing everything else. I walked out this eye center at last and decide to prescribe a new pair of contact from Costco instead. While I am having no insurance coverage for vision, there is no point for me to pay another eye exam AGAIN in cash + a new pair of contact lenses to try. This is not a right a way for doing business. That's truly a ripped off.

    recently had a prescription filled for work safety glasses through this location. As part of our…read moreprogram, we are approved to receive two pairs. However, when I was contacted to pick up my order, only one pair was available--the tinted pair--and staff could not locate or account for the second pair. This was frustrating because I expected both pairs to be ready, especially since they were part of the same order. The lack of communication and organization made the process inconvenient and left me without the full set of glasses I need for work. The staff was polite, but the situation should have been handled more efficiently, and I should have been notified ahead of time if there was an issue with the order. I hope this can be improved moving forward so others don't experience the same problem.

I am very nearsighted and he always takes care of me. This year I had a problem with my mono vision. A few months back I began noticing that I had to use reading glasses for everything. It was really annoying, especially when I could no longer read menus, receipts, or even the buttons in my car!! He took the time to diagnose my problem and fixed me up. I no longer need to use my reading glasses 100% of the time and my mono vision has been restored! Thank you, Dr. Teagle and your staff. I will see you next year.

She was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly explain my exam and answer all of my questions.

I can't say enough good things about the staff and the personal care I received. Dr. Baroni was especially amazing--she took the time during and after my exam to make sure I was completely happy with my lenses. We had an in-depth conversation about my eye health, treatment options, and she even gave me helpful over-the-counter suggestions for ongoing care. She was really present during the exam and not distracted or rushed. Artin was upbeat and really helpful in guiding me through lens color options and picking the best style for me. His input made the whole process easy and enjoyable--I felt supported in making choices that fit both my style and needs. If Artin's not available, Jasmine is there, and she is amazingly kind and patient--you're in great hands either way. The communication here is excellent, and I walked away not only with a clearer vision but also a little education--turns out, polarizing my lenses was a game-changer! Plus, there's ample parking, which is always a bonus. Highly recommend!
