    Angela A.

    my brother Joseph A has been coming here for years and I wish I had known! well it's never too late and I'm so happy I decided to give them a try. Dr. Dang, as most of the reviews say, is a wonderful and very personable, yet very professional and highly qualified optometrist. I could stop short and just say she is an absolute sweetheart. go see her, you won't regret it. so thanks to her, the blind lady in me is so relieved that she's finally found a doctor who doesn't just go through the routine of taking your exam... one or two, which is better? two or three, now which is better? etc etc... the last few times I went through that I noticed having difficulty with my close up vision, and also some distortion with my far vision, but wasn't sure how to go about it or express that to my doctor. being that I am practically legally blind, and Dr. Dang's awareness of that, she was very careful with writing my prescription. while on the one hand, she could give me a prescription for my heavy nearsightedness, that prescription could also affect the quality of my close-up reading. it's a fine balance, which she understood, and took the extra time to help me find that place. she was very thorough with my exam, and also checked the health of my eyes, which I greatly appreciated being that I wear contacts for at least 14 hours a day, and have been doing so for about 30 years. after my exam I returned to try on several contact lens samples that Dr. Dang had ordered. I had never had such an extensive contact lens fitting. Dr. Dang spent plenty of time with me to make sure that I could see properly and feel comfortable. sure enough, I had to try on at least four sets of contacts. she helped me figure what I would be at ease with and really knew the best approach. I am so thankful for her knowledge, experience and mostly, her genuine care. not only does she want to get the job done, she wants it done right. sure, she can write me a prescription, but that doesn't mean I am going to have the best possible and comfortable vision. thank you Dr. Dang for helping me accomplish this. this office offers a nice selection of frames and accepts VSP insurance. I am very happy with my new pair of retro-ish Lulu Guiness frames, with lenses scratch free, ultra ultra thin high index, polished around the edges, polarized, etc etc with all the bells and whistles... and my new monthly contacts feel great!

    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.

    I had an eye exam today at Brand Optometry after not going for a while, and I left feeling…read moreextremely frustrated. The appointment started off great. I checked in, filled out paperwork, and everything was smooth. The technician who helped me first was incredibly kind, patient, and professional. Shoutout to her. She did the preliminary tests (the hot air balloon / green dot machine), and this is where things began. She told me that to use a certain machine, my eyes would need to be diluted. If I didn't want that, I could pay $39 extra to use a different machine. Since I drove myself and could not have my eyes tweaked (and I also didn't sign the diluting eye drop consent in my paperwork), I agreed to the $39. I even asked if it would be billed to insurance because I had budgeted for this visit, and she told me no, insurance doesn't cover it. Not one singular problem, completely doable. Then I went in to see the doctor. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and I actually felt very comfortable with him at first. He started asking me about my contact lenses, what brand I use, what color, how often I wear them. I answered everything and made it clear that I am very comfortable with my current lenses and happy with them. This was just a normal conversation that he initiated, not something I requested. Or so I thought. He then did my vision test and told me my prescription was slightly inaccurate, that my right eye was around -1.75 and my left was -2, as opposed to both eyes being -2 like my previous eye exam from 5 years ago said. Based on that, he said he was going to bring out lenses for me to try on "to confirm." That is exactly how it was presented, as a quick confirmation of his own findings. He brought out clear trial lenses, had me put them on, and we did another quick vision check. The result? My original prescription (-2 in both eyes) was actually still correct (or preferable for my eyes). So not only was this step unnecessary, but his initial assessment was off as well. That is still no problem, I'd rather a doctor try 50 things to be sure than take 1 look at me and brush it off. Respectable. BUT more importantly, at no point, not even for a second, did he say this was a "contact lens evaluation." He never said it was optional. He never mentioned it would cost extra. He never gave me a price. He never asked for my consent to perform a separate, billable service. It felt like part of the normal exam, especially since he was the one who brought it up and framed it as a confirmation. After the exam, I went to the front and was told my total was almost $130, including the $39 I had agreed to, plus an additional amount for a contact lens evaluation. That was the first time I had ever even heard of that charge. I immediately asked the receptionist, very nicely and politely, "Did I request that?" because I genuinely had no idea what she was referring to. She glanced at the paperwork and said, "Yeah, here it is, the doctor did it." I explained to her that this was the first time I was hearing about it, that the doctor never told me he was doing a contact lens evaluation, never said it would cost extra, and that I never asked for it. Her response was essentially just, "Oh," followed by, "Well, it's still going to be this total." That was it. She didn't go speak to the doctor. She didn't try to clarify anything. She didn't attempt to resolve the situation in any way. While she was polite on the surface, the response came across as completely dismissive and indifferent. There was zero effort made toward addressing the concern, retaining a patient, or even acknowledging that this might be an issue. And that's really the bigger problem here. This is not about the money, it's about the principle. You cannot decide, in the middle of an exam, to perform an additional service that the patient did not request, not explain it, not disclose the cost, and then charge them for it afterward. That is completely unacceptable in a medical setting. What if I had only brought enough to cover the $39? I specifically asked about pricing beforehand because being hit with an unexpected charge like that is not okay. It's really disappointing because the experience started off so positive. The staff and doctor were kind and professional at first, but the complete lack of transparency and accountability completely destroyed any trust. I don't usually write reviews, but this has been bothering me all day. Congratulations to Brand Optometry for swindling me out of almost $130, I hope it keeps your light bill on. But you will need the world's luck to get me (and my friends and family who are equally appalled at the principle behind the action) to walk through your doors again. I will not be coming back, and I would not recommend this place based on how they handle billing and patient communication.

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.

His input made the whole process easy and enjoyable--I felt supported in making choices that fit both my style and needs.

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!
