This doctor was super helpful and really really nice to talk to you and very friendly and humorous and very informative I definitely give him 10 thumbs up if I had 10 thumbs read more

I genuinely hate to leave a negative review but maybe this will help resolve the situation because I keep calling and no one is answering and the mailbox is full, I genuinely don't know what to do. I came in for a routine eye exam for glasses on October 11. It was a very good exam and I appreciated Dr Wong's kindness and thoroughness. Long story short, they kept telling me my glasses weren't ready, weeks turned into months. Finally in January I called again and they said they were there. Great! Then I went to the office and... they just cannot find the glasses. That was 2 weeks ago, and they were supposed to call me back when they found them. Now, no one is answering the phone and their voicemail is full. Even though Dr. Wong is a great optometrist and a nice person, it is a very disorganized practice, and now I have to contest with my insurance to have another eye exam with another doctor. A total headache. read more

He's been my optometrist for a couple of years and I've been really happy with his overall patient care. He explains thing in an accessible manner so I can understand it, and it's just been a pleasant experience. I hope to continue being his patient for many years to come! read more

Dr. Wong is the best ophthalmologist I have seen, and I have seen a lot. He goes over everything in detail and explains it all. Very lucky to have found him! read more

Horrible place! Dr Wong book my appointment on a Tuesday I wrote it down on my agenda with all the information about the office but when we arrived at the at the clinic Dr Wong said I didn't have an appointment because it was the next day! He told he was going to see me anyway. Then He started to be rude and complained that people do that a lot messing up the appointment days what cleary,, looks to me that he was the one confused. The clinic looks like a person home with clutter and thinks all over the place. There is no reception or receptionist. He was extremely rude and told me do not play areound when he handle the form to fill I felt so bad that I decided to leave. Very bad costumer service and very dirty clutter place that doesn't look like a clinic at all! read more

Dr. Wong is hands-down the best eye doctor I've ever met. I've had many exams but this was by far the most thorough. He is so knowledgeable and made sure I understood everything. He also gave my dog a free eye exam! I wish I found him sooner. read more

I won't go anywhere else to renew my eye contact prescription.. Dr.King Y. Wong is super-friendly and cracks more jokes than you can imagine.. Dr. Wong office is right off Santa Monica Blvd..so you can grab a nice lunch after your appointment..I got my contacts within a week.. read more

Dr. Wong was so Wrong! Very disappointed first of all no courtesy call,very unprofessional he stated that he excepted my Insurance when I went to my appointment he said I'm sorry I don't expect your plan. He did not even verify my plan before my appointment. You need to be more professional and start verifying before setting appointments will not be going back found a new Dr. you are not up to date with technology update your recent address and your purify your office It's offensive. read more

Dr. Wong is the most passionate eye doctor I have EVER had. He is sweet and he taught me how to understand my prescription and my daughter's. I'm definitely coming back to him for my yearly exam. My daughter loved her experience here too. read more

Dr Wong is one of the nicest compassionate people I ever met and is best eye doctors around he is very thorough and takes a lot of pride in his exams and is highly knowledgeable optometrist with decades of experience and he has a great sense of humor I'm glad I went to see Dr Wong and I would highly recommend Dr Wong office as a optometrist eye doctor read more

It's a warm family office where Dr. Wong takes his time to explain everything and goes the extra effort to look at your blood vessels to help you see your vision health into the future. Yes, Dr Wong's wife is an acupuncturist, so it smells like a Chinese herb shop, but that feels like home to me. No other optometrist I've had is this thoughtful to help you plan for your optimal vision health. Parking tip: If you don't find easy street parking, you can park at the SM Public Library and it's only 1-2 blocks away (depending on the entrance), and you don't have to worry about the meter time. read more

Dr. Wong has been doing this a long time. He cares to do a great job because it's his livelihood. From walking in to walking out, total time was about two hours. He's definitely thorough. Got an annual exam plus contact lens prescription and a spare set of contacts for about $180 out of pocket (though he takes insurance). His wife does acupuncture in the same office. Judging by his work ethic, she's probably really good, too. I can see how he'd be great with kids. He's funny and kind of reminds me of a wizard a bit. He looks for everything during the exam because as he says, "You only find it if you're looking for it." Wise words, my friend. He also teaches you about your eye, how to read a prescription and how to take care of your eyes. It's like an eye class! From what I saw of their frames, they seem to be on trend. They also carry Ray-Bans. read more

Dr Wong was a provider of my insurance company and paid for eye exam. I paid for my glasses out of pocket. It took him two months to get me the prescription and then it was wrong. He has failed to correct the problem since I returned the glasses and has not returned any of my calls. When I showed up for an appt to discuss the glasses on Feb 11th, he was a no show. When I had an appt to talk on the phone Feb 14th, he had Lisa call and cancel call. I have requested a refund and he continues ignoring my calls. His receptionist Lisa maintains she has communicated all of my messages. Highly unethical doctor. read more

Overall I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Wong at Healthy Eyesight Optometry. I really enjoyed how Dr. Wong is both very professional and very funny, telling lots of jokes and making the eye exam an enjoyable experience. It felt both playful as well as informative as Dr. Wong made sure to explain all the necessary details. He takes his time and none of the procedures feel rushed, I felt very comfortable and appreciated his care and consideration. My only complaint is that there were several times that he left the eye exam room, sometimes right in the middle of answering one of my questions, to go help walk-in patients because he didn't have anyone working at the front desk. That got a little annoying. But I would still go back, overall it was a good experience. And it was great that he takes Medi-Cal, which seems to be rare for optometrists in Santa Monica. read more

Best service ever! My eyesight is horrible, I think I've been going to optometrists/ophthalmologist since I was 6. After my 20's I've just been jumping from optometrist to optometrist since none impressed me enough to want to go back...just went with whatever was convenient. The Optometrist is great. He took the time to explain to me what was going on with my eyes and options for ophthalmologist's. The front desk guy was super helpful. I got great glasses at a great price. I usually pay about $300 at lenscrafters (w/ insurance). Front desk guy was honest and gave me what he thought were the best options for me...he was right and I only spent about $150. I was so surprised. I found my forever optometrist! read more

Dr. Wong and his team are fantastic. I had made an appointment with another doctor and when I showed up, found that it was booked for a week later. I called Healthy Eyesight asking if they might be able to see me as a walk in, since I had already taken the time off work. They said sure! I showed up, Dr. Wong was very kind and funny and took the time to thoroughly explain all the elements of the exam. He knows his stuff clearly, and runs both a computer test and a more traditional exam and compares the results, for increased accuracy. It was a great experience, and I would highly recommend Healthy Eyesight if you're in need of an eye doctor in Santa Monica! read more

I had a great visit with Dr. Wong. Don't let the unassuming office fool you, as he is one of the finest optometrists I have seen. He provided a thorough eye and contact lens exam, and compared his manual exam to one generated by a computer. He has excellent bedside manner, and his knowledge and years of experience are clearly evident. I am glad I happened upon his website when searching through VSP providers in the area. His office is now on 14th street in Santa Monica, and I recommend him to anyone needing optometry services. read more

I highly recommend this place! Dr Wong is a great doctor who really takes time and explains everything very thorough..he checks for everything during the exam and he taught me how to read my prescription! I really loved how he took the time to explain everything I need to know because as he says "they're your eyes" His optician Kenneth is very professional and very helpful. He does great measurements and gives honest advice. I can honestly say that he is great at his job and he knows EXACTLY what he's doing It is also a kids optometry and even though the appointment was for myself I did take my daughter with me and doctor wong was very friendly and kind to her. I can see how he will be great with kids. She also loved this place Which says it all ! read more

Dr. Wong was both incredibly nice, but funny also as he examined my eyes as well and as throughly as any Optometrist I have paid before 2008 significantly hindered my ability to find employment paying enough to get new glasses myself. I received the FREE VSP (Vision Service Plan) glasses within the time frame Dr. Wong quoted me at the end of the examination. The glasses are terrific and I would recommend Dr. Wong to anyone; regardless of their ability to pay. read more

I've never yelped before in my life..... but i just wanted to give King Wong and this place a rave review.... King spent like an hour and a half explaining every tiny detail of my tests and prescription.... it was amazing... if your on the west side and need an exam... this is your place : ) read more

Very kind and professional eye doctor and human being.

Dr. Wong is a true expert! He evaluates your vision and eye health thoroughly and explains the tests and results better than anyone else ever has. He takes real pride in his work and I feel so lucky to have found his office! They are really a wonderful group to with with. read more

Great experience! Dr. Wong was so thorough, explained everything and even entertained me with funny jokes! He showed me pictures on the computer of my blood vessels, optic nerve, etc and showed me how he could judge the health of my eyes. I had only planned on getting contacts, but decided to get glasses also because of how trendy the selection was. He also gave me a discount on the frames I picked out. The guy who runs the front office was SO accommodating and friendly. He called my insurance company to help me figure out my benefits. He squeezed me in for a same appointment and was incredibly patient and helpful while I took my time picking out my glasses. Overall great experience. I would bring my kids here also if they needed glasses. Highly recommended!!! read more

When I first walked in I was a bit taken back by the smell in the air, not bad just it also doubles as a acupuncture office. Everyone was so nice, I had my son with me, they were sweet as could be to him and didn't act as though it was a inconvenience he was there. Dr. Wong is so nice, checks everything, explains everything, gives you his time and patience. I really am impressed by him and look forward to having him as my optometrist for years to come. I will also be bringing my son here for his yearly check up. read more

Finally I found a great optician. Doctor Wong is spectacular. I've never had a photo taken of inside my eyes. He did a thorough examination and was very informative and explained to me my options on LASIK. read more

Great service both from Ken (office assistant) and Dr. Wong. Ken was thorough and professional from first phone call to day of appointment, he provided great insurance coverage information. Dr. Wong is very funny and made the visit enjoyable. He described why he was using each device to examine my eyes and even showed me the health of my eye vessels on a computer screen, it was awesome and my eyes are healthy! Definitely will be returning and highly recommend. read more

Today Dr. Wong gave me a very thorough eye exam. I'll go to him again for sure! He took the time to go over my results in detail so I'd know about my eyes...he's very patient, takes his time and I am very impressed with him and his protocol. Five stars! read more

Yes! It IS possible for an optometrist to be both entertaining and professional! Dr. Wong made me feel very comfortable during my first visit (I got my eye exam here today). Not only did he take his time with each procedure; he uses different methods -- his own test, the computer test, and even a machine that shows you the inside of your own eyes! During each procedure, he explained every little detail so naturally, while only doing what was necessary. It's rare to feel comfortable at an office, but he was able to make it worthwhile and fun! Dr. Wong even managed to crack a few jokes in between each transition, and he was patient with my questions. Did I mention that he was super informative as well? I feel like I got my daily dose of treatment, entertainment, history lesson, and global insight all in one day. If anyone is looking for a forever optometrist, Dr. Wong is your man! read more

Truly caring and rare doctor! Dr. King Wong takes his time and is completely dedicated to you. He has a charming, funny personality and explains what he is doing as he tests you so you know more about your eye and its good health. I really felt at home here and haven't had this much thoughtful attention paid to me by a doctor in years and years! His optician/assistant Ken is also well versed in eye care and takes his time with you to get your glasses measurements right! read more

I take back my earlier positive reviews. I lost my glasses and needed to get my Rx from Dr. Wong today. He was nowhere to be found and the front office guy "couldn't find my prescription and couldn't find Wong. My advice, find another eye doc. read more

I came in the other day for an exam for glasses. Dr. Wong was amazing. He explained everything to me and made me feel really comfortable. The person at the front desk was very nice as well. I didn't have time to check out their frames, but I definitely will be back and will for sure be coming here from now on! read more

My first time here was amazing! Dr. Wong made sure that he tested me with detail since it was my first time. Healthy Eyesight Optometry was in a nice area and a clean office, which helped me to feel comfortable. The front desk help was very informative over the phone when I made my appointment and in-person. Dr. Wong is also great with kids, and I plan on setting up an appointment for my kids too. read more

I highly recommend Healthy Eyesight Optometry. Dr. Wong is an excellent optometrist and his office/staff are extremely accommodating. From the exam, to ordering contacts, to picking out frames everything about my experience was easy and fun. The downtown Santa Monica location completes the deal for me. I won't be going anywhere else! read more

Very nice and polite, Kenneth was very professional and helpful. I highly recomend tgis place

Dr. Wong is the most thorough optometrist I have ever seen. I went in for an eye exam. He went over the details of each test he did, and he really took the time. I did not feel rushed, and he was very patient. I will definitely go back to see Dr. Wong again for future eye exam. read more

Very quick and helpful location, Kenneth is amazing!

Dr. Wong is great !! He made me feel very comfortable in the office & explained everything very well . I didn't wait long , filled up the paper work & they had me in , in no time . read more

This is the first review I have written for any business ever. Dr. Wong and his staff are such gems that felt it worth it. Dr. Wong is obviously very skilled and committed to his work. I received a very thorough exam and explanation of all he was doing complete with the awesome photographs and amazing clinical lesson on eyes as previous reviewers have mentioned. While I may have received some more clinical facts and professional advice because I am heading to medical school soon, my guess is Dr. Wong is that thorough and attentive with every patient. Furthermore, he seems to really enjoy serving a broad range of patients from various backgrounds. When we discussed our mutual commitment to working with underserved populations, he very sweetly said he took Medi-Cal even when his colleagues didn't because "Its like kickball; I'm really excited anytime anyone wants me on their team, so I am going to do the best job possible for the team regardless." Just lovely, so sweet and funny, while also so skilled. When I was done with Dr. Wong his assistant was ready to help me find some glasses. He had all of the insurance and eyeglass logistics, fashion, aesthetic and practical bases wonderfully covered. Then when I was being indecisive, he was super accommodating and flexible about having me mull it over. I'll definitely come back (although I don't need glasses much now) and I'll send my regular glasses wearing friends and family members here. read more
