I've been seeing Dr. Szu at Grant Optometry for my yearly exams for the past 5 years and honestly, I'm not going anywhere else. This time I showed up with red and dry eyes and he broke it down in a way I could actually understand. No complicated doctor talk, just clear explanations that made me feel like, "Oh, I got this." He's super patient and never makes you feel rushed. Plus, he's got that rare combo of being ridiculously smart but also really down-to-earth. The office is clean and modern, the staff is friendly, and the whole vibe makes going to the eye doctor feel way less like a chore. If you want an eye doctor who knows his stuff and explains it so well even your grandma would get it, Dr. Szu is your guy. read more

We were referred to Dr Szu by our pediatrician Dr Tolly (who is the BEST pediatrician in the world!). My complaint about optometry in general is feeling the hard sell after it's established you need a new RX. "Get these frames" or "for X dollars more we can upgrade the lens to super strong German unbreakable whatever." Dr Szu and his team have made me a patient for life! Never felt the sales pressure after my exam. More importantly, the exam itself was the most I ever learned about my eyes! I will happily tell everyone I know about your practice. Thank you for taking care of me and my son. read more

I never felt rushed, and it was clear he genuinely cared about my eye health. He used the latest high‑tech equipment, making the exam comfortable and thorough. He explained my prescription clearly, gave me great options, and I left feeling confident in his recommendations. The entire experience was smooth. his professionalism and warmth have made him my forever doctor. I will absolutely be returning for all of my future eye exams and recommending him to my family and friends.

Absolutely five-star experience from start to finish at Grant Optometric Group! From the moment I called to schedule my appointment, the staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and everyone I encountered made me feel welcome and genuinely cared for. The team went above and beyond helping me pick out the perfect pair of glasses--offering expert advice with zero pressure. The fitting process was just as impressive; they made sure everything felt and looked just right, down to the tiniest adjustment. Now, the real standout--Dr. Ben Szu. I've never experienced an eye exam like this. Dr. Szu is not only highly knowledgeable, but incredibly thoughtful and thorough. He uses the most advanced technology to capture detailed images of the inside of your eyes, and he takes the time to walk you through everything he's seeing, explaining it in a way that's easy to understand. I felt seen, heard, and respected--never rushed. This wasn't just an appointment--it was an experience.

I've been coming to see Dr. Grant for many years and it has always been a very pleasant experience. The front office is welcoming and accommodating while Dr. Grant is personable and caring. He makes sure all my questions are answered and does go above and beyond to ensure that I am comfortable with our treatment plan.

In the Automotive field here, and I had some debris get into my left eye. Called the wonderful people over at Grant Optometrist Group, and they were quick to get me in within the hour for an emergency visit. Dr. Szu was able to get some metal debris out within a couple of minutes, and I was on my way. Dr. Szu is an outstanding guy, and makes going to the optometrist an easy-going experience. I highly recommend these guys for any eye-related needs! read more

Was seen by Dr Grant yesterday. First time in an optometrist office at age 59. He has a very positive presence and he's very thorough. He explained things to me and kept checking to make sure I understood. I could have used glasses for both farsighted and reading, but I was not pressured to get them, which I appreciate! When the exam was complete, I was needing an ophthalmologist for some laser surgery. The whole staff, including Dr Grant helped greatly. You all know how difficult it is to figure out insurance policies. The third doctor they called was able to take me and I had an appointment at 1:15 that same day to fix my problem. Dr Grant and his staff are amazing!!! read more

I can't say enough great things about this place! This was my first appointment, and they've earned a long-term client after one visit! The front desk girls, Carina and Ivy were very attentive and helpful from the moment I walked in. I didn't wait long until I saw Dr. Ben Szu. He is very professional, funny, and informative. Dr. Ben took the time to educate me on the anatomy of the eye while going over my eye exam to help me understand my results. Afterwards, he and Ivy helped me choose a FABULOUS pair of eyewear that complimented my face shape. My appointment was quick, informative, and filled with good energy. I highly recommend!! I can't wait to pick up my lenses and see them again! read more

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Grant for over a decade and we love him! He is caring, yet honest and direct. He doesn't oversell and he's very thorough. We trust him completely. Highly recommend. read more

So I just recently visited Dr. Grant and have now been a few times. With an honest review, hands down THE best optometrist in town. The care, patience and knowledge is second to none. I had previously purchased frames and lenses from him a few times now. My prescription was out of date, so I had new lenses installed and for the first time purchased for myself a pair of prescription sunglasses . Best decision ever! They fit incredibly well (thanks to Dr.Grant & his staff). Dr.Grant found the perfect pair for my face shape (some of course has to do to my preference) and nailed it on the 2nd pair I tried on. Absolutely highly recommend making an appointment here. Best decision you will ever make. read more

Grant Optometric Group- a staple of South Orange County. Nestled in the heart of Costa Mesa and within walking distance of South Coast Plaza. This family owned and operated practice has been a jewel in the community for decades. Dr. Grant and his trusting staff, go above and beyond to ensure the needs of its patients. Each doctor carefully partners with their patients in order to ensure the highest quality of care. Dr. Grant has personally take meticulous care of my vision for the past 20+ years and I could not be happier with the caliber of service I receive each time I walk through the doors. I've suffered with dry eyes my entire life. The burning, itching and scratching, was a constant irritation. Last year I received Tear Care for my chronic dry eyes and if I say that it's made all the difference in the world, it would an understatement. Thank you to Dr. Grant for taking on my case and taking care of my vision. And just when you thought it was over, the follow up that is given is the icing on the cake. Dr. Grant I could never thank you enough for all you've done for my eye care! read more

Dr. Kevin Grant and his team provide that professional experience and genuine care for patients that I would hope most seek. Coming here after I have been to multiple Optometrists, I can tell you this one has been the most attentive and concerned about each patients vision. When choosing glasses they really take the time to find a balance between comfort, style, and financial burden. The way I see Dr. Grant is that he is invested in finding the root cause of your vision being the way it is, then formulates a well made plan to aid in fixing your vision. I can honestly say Dr. Grant cares a lot for his patients as each visit does not feel like I am being rushed to the register or being pushed into getting the next best treament out on the market. He respects every patients decisions, but greatly appreciates those who wish to better themselves healthwise and make a better change for their own future. I couldn't ask for a better optometrist, but I do wish there were more doctors in all fields like him. read more

Super knowledgeable and super fast. None of the usual wait and complication. Oh and Dr. Ben quickly found a weird eyelash growing inside my eyelid scratching my cornea. Whaaaa???

Dr. Ben Szu is awesome! He has excellent service, he is knowledgeable and proves to care about his patients. I've gone to many different offices and worn glasses most of my life so I can confidently say that his attention, explanations and willingness to help is unique and one of a kind. As a co-manager of my follow up care after Lasik, he ensured that I had the follow up appointments I needed even after he found out I was moving out of state. He put me in touch with his colleague in Colorado and made sure their office had what they needed for my third and six month follow ups. It was one less thing to worry about throughout my move. He truly went above the call of duty. I am grateful to Dr. Szu, he was the right choice as an optometrist and to co-manage my Lasik procedure. Office staff is nice, helpful and attentive. They have a nice selection of glasses. Clean environment. read more

Let's talk about efficiency and professionalism! I came here after having severe pain in my left eye. Turned out my current Optometrist was closed that day so I had to go hunting for a temporary one. They did all the testing, exams and determined I had a corneal ulcer. Not my first rodeo... but SUPER PAINFUL. (Don't sleep in your contacts kids). Dr. Grant and Szu took such great care of me! They were still so sweet and understanding knowing I had another eye doctor. Although I am really sad I can't have two Optometrist's, I can leave happy knowing I was in incredible hands. PS: This experience caused me to release how badly I truly wanted LASIK! Now I am 20/20! read more

I highly recommend Grant Optometric Group and Dr. Grant! I scheduled an eye exam with Dr. Grant for my mother and both of us can not be happier. The whole visit experience was exceptional. First of all there was absolutely no waiting time. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the friendly staff members we have not waited a minute for anything as eye exam started right on scheduled time. Second. The amount of time doctor books for each patient is unseen in the industry. I have to say, this was the most thorough eye exam my mom has ever received. It took about an hour to complete all necessary exams and receive recommendations. Dr. Grant made sure to assess and address all of her concerns. He is extremely knowledgeable and explained everything according to our level of understanding. Finally Grant Optometric has a great selection of frames and many lens options, anything from budget bundles to high end designer glasses. The staff was super helpful in choosing the right pair with their suggestions on styles/colors that likely to fit better along with their knowledge of current fashion trends. As a result, Dr. Grant + Team knew what my mom want before even she knew what she wants. I will recommend Grant Optometric Group using every opportunity. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Grant. Meet Dr. Grant. Get the best matching Glasses. He's got you covered. read more

Grant optometric Group is awesome! Their service and friendliness is second to none. Dr. Ben Szu is the best Optometrist I've ever seen! I literally feel like I'm going to hang out with a friend every time I have an appointment, except that friend is incredibly knowledgeable about optometry and helps me with the next steps in my eye care. The office staff is extremely thorough, kind, knowledgeable, and always takes time to make sure that I am taken care of. After being a patient at Grant optometric group for two years now, I couldn't see going anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

I was visiting from San Diego and got a bad eye infection. Dr. Ben Szu graciously found time to meet with me and I couldn't be happier with my visit. He gave a thorough examination and put me in the best position to recover. What stood out to me was his thoughtful and caring approach. He texed me throughout the day to make sure I was okay. I could tell he genuiely cared about my well being. Thank you to the entire team for providing white glove treament before, during, and after my visit. You guys are amazing and I will be sure to return if I need anything (hopefully I don't) :). Go this place, highly recommended! read more

I'm super particular about my medical care (especially my eyes). It's a happy day when I find a doctor who possesses BOTH a great personality AND expert medical skill. Dr. Ben Szu checks all the boxes. read more

Come here every year for my eye checkup Dr Grant is awesome and his staff is amazing and very helpful highly recommend this spot

Dr. Kevin Grant and his team are fantastic! I have been putting my eyes in his expert care for many years (and before him, his father was my doctor). I send my family, friends, and co-workers to him at every opportunity. He is thorough and thoughtful, always considering my specific needs, and he remains diligent in monitoring my vision for changes and potential risks. I wear contacts primarily, and he's always got the best options of high quality, super comfortable lenses - and he event lets me take home trials so I can find just the right combination to meet my choosy far-sighted *and* near-sighted needs, as my prescription changes. This year I'm also getting new glasses (first time in a long time), and his team has been wonderful at helping me choose just the right frames to suit my progressive lens needs, as well as being timelessly stylish so they can last a few years (hopefully my vision doesn't change too much and the lenses will last a few years, too)! If you want a great doctor to take care of your vision, go to Grant Optometric Group! read more

I came to the office because my eye was red and hurting really bad. Both Dr Szu and Dr Grant helped me and they are literally the best! I was worried and nervous but they made me feel really comfortable because of how knowledgeable they are. They were also super friendly and helpful, and answered all the questions I had. They're both really genuine, good hearted people. Like I told them, I hope my eye gets better so I don't have to come back, but if I ever needed to see an optometrist this is the only place I will go to and the only place I will recommend to my friends and family. read more

I have been coming here for years and I thought I had posted a review and an strangely surprised I didn't. Both Dr. Grant and Dr. Kim are amazing and the entire staff is great. I'm always scared when my insurance changes that I can't come here anymore. Whenever I order contacts with the receptionist or any other members of the staff they promptly call you back with any and all information you need. Also they stopped opening in Saturday's :( but you can order to have it shipped to your house for $10. Not shy about contact solution freebees either! Highly recommend. read more

Superior service. I came in because I broke my glasses and needed a new prescription. Dr. Grant fixed my glasses free of charge and on my follow up dialation appointment he gave me a complementary optic nerve exam. I've never had this test offered at various optometrist offices i've been to and I appreciated the courtesy and security he went through to make sure im healthy. I did notice how Dr.Grant took his time to examine my eyes and made sure to perform a thorough examination. I've had other optometrist just take a quick one second glance at my eyes and carelessly move on to end the appointment. I really noticed the difference in quality and service here. Good work I'll be back for sure. read more

Dr. Szu is by far the best optometrist I've been to in the OC. He genuinely cares for my eye health and he always takes the time to hear my concerns. You can tell he really wants the best care for his patients. I have never felt rushed and always have a great experience in this office. Can't recommend enough! read more

A couple of years ago I went in for a routine visit. Dr. Grant alerted me to the fact that I had a partial detachment of the retina in my left eye. If this had not been caught I could very well have lost the sight in my left eye. I immediately had procedures to rectify this situation. I also ended up having to have work done on both eyes. Now I have returned to Dr. Grant an he explained why I am seeing double, one of the procedures I had at Kaiser affected a muscle in my right eye causing it to not track with the left eye. Another excellent visit at this office and my glasses should be ready within two weeks. Everyone here is friendly, patient, and very caring. read more

Highly recommend this office!! I had my first appointment today with Dr. Ben Szu and he was incredibly professional, smart and friendly. Glad I was referred to this office, the rest of the staff seems great as well! read more

Highly recommend grant optometric group! Dr. Grant and Dr. Szu are both really great and thorough

I usually am one to read other peoples' reviews however, I wanted to acknowledge the amazing doctors and staff that work here and their exceptional customer service. After being referred to by another doctor, I went to Dr. Szu for my dry eye issues and he was very attentive and caring. He was very knowledge on the subject which made me comfortable. I knew I was in good hands. At my previous optometry, I always felt my appointments with my optometrist was quick- less than 20 mins. I'd recite some letters I saw on the board and off I went with new glasses and some contacts for the year. During my appointment with Dr. Szu, he took the time to answer all my questions and even help me with a regimen to help my eyes get back on track. He followed up with me personally to check up on my eyes a few weeks later. This is a lost art. I wasn't seeking for a new doctor but I found one I can entrust my eyes with. I'll drive an hour and a half to see Dr. Szu any day! ** their office is really clean and there is sanitizer everywhere. The staff wore masks and are practiced social distancing which I also appreciated** read more

So I was looking for an optometrist in the area and decided to use Yelp to help me find one. This place had a bunch of good ratings at the time, and so I decided to try it out. The place is located near South Coast Plaza, right next to the Trinity Broadcasting Network which is this giant beautiful looking building (I don't think I've been inside... maybe I need to check it out). When you turn in, there is parking on the sides and behind the building, and the entrance is on one of the sides. The front desk people were very nice and when I came in they gave me paperwork to fill out. You provide your insurance card and the like, and then you wait. Then a lady came in to do some preliminary eye exams and finally I went to see Dr. Kevin Grant who did the rest of the vision tests. I found Dr. Kevin Grant to be very caring and relatable, and he took his time to discover if there were any issues with my vision, and listened to my questions and concerns. I enjoyed the experience a lot and think he did a great job, though I didn't have any major issues or concerns with my vision. This place is open every other Saturday I believe, and I think the appointment slots for those days fill up quickly, so I would book in advanced if I needed to go on a Saturday. read more

I just visited Grant Optometric Group today and I'm very happy with the customer service I received. Dr Szu was very kind, professional and courteous. It was my first time coming to their office and they assisted in getting all of my prior records, did a in-depth glasses and contact lens exam and even took photography of my eyeball. I was seen on time, got some sample products and will be very happy to return here for any of my future eye care needs. Thank you Dr Szu! read more

I have been going to Dr. Grant for over a decade now. Excellent Doctor is an understatement. He is thorough concise, on top of his game and is super friendly. He always has a helpful staff, billing is simple and straightforward, and he has a remarkable internship where I see fresh recruits ready to take on the challenge of staring at peoples optic stems! read more

In the first 5 minutes of my visit I knew I found my new optometrist!! I was referred to Grant Optometric Group from a place I bought new glasses. I didn't have a prescription so I just wanted a fast appointment so I could get that prescription and get the new pair glasses I'd been eyeing. I worked with Anne-Marie and Dr. Grant from start to finish and it couldn't have been a better experience. They were extremely friendly, professional and most importantly patient, which I was worried about since I had a little one with me. They put me at ease and understood my concerns and the bonus was they were so sweet and patient with my little one. This was all a surprise and not what I was expecting, just assumed it would be another errand for the day. By the time I left the office I knew for sure I found my new optometrist! read more

It's not a secret that Orange County has many amazingly skilled and caring optometrists, but Dr. Ben Szu stands out in all aspects of what makes a truly well-rounded professional. Tall yet unbelievably down-to-earth, Dr. Szu knows how to efficiently deliver comprehensive eye-care for all varieties of regular or irregular eye issues -- all while delivering humorous jokes and relatable analogies to describe vision-related things. Anyone can tell that he chose this field because he is passionate about the science behind vision and eye health, as well as everyone's overall well-being. Reading about his credentials, residency experience, and awards was also really astounding - he is definitely the best in the field! To add a cherry on top of everything - he was also caring about my mental health, something other optometrists have neglected to ask about even though it is a crucial influence to physical health, including eye health. Thank you Dr. Szu and Grant Optometry for making a routine eye-exam + contact lens exam (as a new patient) a rejuvenating and educational one. Grateful for your extraordinary approach to eye-care. Tais at the front desk is also lovely! Thank you for your polite and professional service. ++ Bonus points for having an extremely clean and elegant office! read more
