Peter Koh is an exceptional optometrist. He is on time, efficient, and very experienced.

I went to dr. Koh's office for many years. I know that he is an experienced dr. He seems to be nice to almost all his OTHER patients. I have a special needs child and it's hard as it is. Going to his office for the yearly visit is a constant reminder of how our society treats special needs kids and their parents. I am not talking or expecting any special care , I'm talking about just the basics and respecting the appointment time. For the past 3 years every time the dr sees us after he's done with all other appointments until they see all their other patients. This year as an example, me and my child had 3 pm and 3:30 pm guess what the Dr sees me int the test room and says hi Ms. ( my name) I will see you in Rome 6 and that was at 3:17, he acknowledged that he knows we are here and he saw us. After the assistant took us to the exam room and closed the door on us. I open the door when I heard him talking to the assistant in the hallway asking her what room is his 4:30 pm appointment and in what exam room, he goes I will see my 4:30 appointment then 5:00 then I will see the family in room 6. Once I heard that, I opened the exam room door the assistant sprinted and I said execuse me execuse me she pretended not hearing a thing. It was 4:37 pm. Before the Dr came to see us. This us the 3rd year that happened to us. My child isn't a wild child, you might think trouble child... not at all not a verbal child that's all. So, for us to feel treated this way and the humiliation that I have to deal with every time I go to this office makes me go home balling. For children with special needs and when the child gets frustrated after almost 2 hours in the waiting room, then when the dr comes in to check their eyes the child doesn't cooperate anymore because the get frustrated and tired after the long wait. So, you wasted the yearly visit and there's nothing you can do about it. Let me not forget the parking tickets I receive after each visit as the parking meter is 2 hours max and street parking is also 2 hours max. Last year I thought they treats us different because I get my glasses at Costco not from them because it's $400 less at Costco. I am sorry, I will never treat someone or put someone down regardless the reason. You may think why she doesn't take her child and go to a different office, I tried to find another office, either too far or not accepting new patients. Life is too short. I believe in Karma you get what you put out. Sometimes I wonder if the HIGH turnover is an indication of something in that office. Every time after my yearly visit to Dr. Koh's office , I hug my child very hard and CRY myself to sleep. I pray that God may change people's hearts to treat special kids and their families with the same respect and dignity. Nothing more or less. read more

Dr. Koh is amazing, I cannot express how grateful I am to him. He helped my husband out with an urgent eye injury. He is very kind, knowledgeable and caring. read more

Doctor Koh is knowledgeable and has good patient manner, but the front desk is horrible. I've been a patient of Dr Koh's for years and had an emergency just before the long Memorial Day weekend so left a message for the staff on Thursday night. Called back Friday afternoon when I didn't hear back from them only to get excuses and no help getting an appointment. They told me to call and register as a new patient somewhere to get seen. Dont recommend unless you can deal with the doctor directly and avoid the staff. read more

Dr. Koh is a great doctor. I've been to him a few times and I have never been disappointed. He's warm, friendly, and does an excellent job. His staff are also really kind and great. They strive to create a warm, welcoming environment for their clients. I had to write this mostly to reply to Heather H's nasty review. The reason that they bring people into the inside waiting area is because the outside waiting area is little more than a hallway - so it's actually a good thing. For someone to complain about reading material in a doctors' waiting area....seriously, get a life. Bring a book or look at your phone like everyone else. What do you expect, a libaray of all of the latest fashion magazines? And all of the "disproportionate number of old people"....really?! Are you serious?! How many old people would you (as center of the universe) consider to be "normal"? What a B you are.... The fact that someone as awful as Heather H. reviews this place poorly should be enough of an endorsment that Dr. Koh is the exact opposite type of person, and should therefore convince you to choose him as your doctor. You won't be sorry. He's great and his staff are wonderful. read more

I have been to the Beverly Hills Vision Center several times and frankly I'm still stunned by how underwhelming it is. I chose it because it is part of Cedars Sinai, which is obviously good, and so I figured the doctors would be good. The office itself, however, is surprisingly, well, ghetto (there's a lot of deferred maintenance going on in there). There is a disproportionate number of old people there (not certain why the clientele is skewed so heavily this way) and the waits are always super long. First you wait in the outside waiting room. Then they move you to the inside waiting room. Periodically, someone will call you to go have a vision test or you get to talk to your doctor for a second, but then they send you back to one of the waiting rooms about 3000 times. I know this sounds petty, but there isn't even any decent reading material--which is ridiculous considering the amount of time you spend waiting. I personally have seen Dr. Koh, and he actually is perfectly fine, so I feel bad saying negative stuff. He's not the issue; the office is just a crazy trainwreck mess, and he seems to busy running from room to room with all the 349 other people booked at the same time as me, that I feel guilty for taking up his time. Also, might I add, they somehow SCREWED UP MY GLASSES. I have been wearing glasses for 15 years. I went to them just to get my regular eye exam and then to have my lenses replaced. I had to wait a WEEK to pick up the glasses and then when I did the over-busy glasses sales people just sent me out of there without even having me put them on/adjusting them/asking if they were ok. Of course, I got home and they were distinctly not okay. It was like I was wearing someone else's lenses. So, I just had to make ANOTHER appointment, spend another hour being shuffled around their waiting rooms, for them to figure out what they screwed up on my glasses (something about a curve, I have no idea) and now they're being fixed--I hope. I don't know if they're going to charge me for this yet, but let's just say that if they do I'm going to have a fit. I've had a ton of glasses made at a ton of different places with prescriptions from a ton of different doctors, and this is literally the first time I've had to go through any such sort of rigamarole. Thumbs down. read more

Dr. Koh is personable, knowledgable and has been my doctor for well over a decade. He has helped me take care of my eyes from glasses to Lasik. I could not recommend a better eye doctor. The four stars are for Dr. Koh. The lab, however, mixed experience erring on not so great. read more

I was charged $199 for a routine visit with Dr Koh. One year later, I received a bill for $304 and Mr Koh was asking for another $105 although I paid what he demanded for my visit. How unfair is that? I remember Dr Koh being a considerate doctor but my last experience was quite disappointing. I was under the impression he didn't care anymore and had no time to deal with me. His staff isn't very nice either so why should we bother?! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Koh for a few years now and I can honestly say that if I could have him as my primary care physician as well I would! Dr. Koh is the best!! To the lady who gave him a bad review because he would not "lend" her a contact lens and is risking peoples lives by driving anyway, your ego is obviously bigger than your brain. read more

I'm required by law to wear contacts when I drive and I'm fairly blind and happened to lose a contact out of my eye while driving.... I stopped in here and pleaded for the doctor to lend me one single contact and he refused to help me. I'm now forced to drive half blind and with practically no depth perception around Beverly hills where there are hundreds of pedestrians walking about. Thank you so much for all of your help, guy. read more

I just had an eye exam and asked the doctor to measure my PD... He freakin pulled out a ruler too... The one I used in elementary school! Wth, if I'm paying $200 for health insurance I want the professional pd tool used on my my eyes. Not a freakin ruler.. I can do that myself. I went somewhere else to get my pd read properly... And yes there is a difference. read more

Looking at the review from last year, I have to say the Beverly Hills Vision Center has improved since then. I've been with Dr. Koh for four years now. Whatever maintenance she spoke of does not exist. When I went there two weeks ago, there was another patient my age (mid-30s) and a mother took her 3 grade school kids for their check up (and yes, there was an elderly man there). We scheduled our appointments for the morning (since I normally can only take a half-day from work), and there was hardly a wait. Yes, there is the outer waiting room (which contains the display of glasses for people to try on -- in which I waited 2 minutes before going right into my test (the inner waiting room is a temporary wait while they move patients from one room to the next. Your first test is with the eye chart (with one of the nurses/assistants, not the doc) - 2 minutes tops. Then there's the computerized test (again the nurse/asst. - 2 min). Depending on the traffic, you either wait in the temporary area or the in the doctor's exam room. Dr. Koh really works out of two of the rooms. If he dialates your eyes, it's two parts: the first test to check how your vision is (maybe 10-15 minutes), a 5-10 min wait for your eyes to get dialated (and if this happens, you won't be in a condition to read anything anyway -- just bring your iPod or prayer beads or something) then another 5 minutes to check your dialation. That's it with Dr. Koh himself -- he's friendly, he's quick, and he's professional. In all those minutes, he still finds time to ask how you are, where you work, if you think your vision needs particular attention, etc. -- So don't think that he's treating patients like a fast food order. Dr. Koh said I'm cursed enough not to need glasses. But I still go every year, just in case my vision deteriorates. When you work with computers as much as I do, I'm surprised I haven't needed them yet, but I'm in no rush. And luckily Dr. Koh makes me feel like I'm still an important patient, even if he really can't do much for me. If you need glasses, you return to the front, pick out your frames, and another technician completes your order. My wife needed glasses, and the gentleman at the front was very courteous, even though he was dealing with three customers at once (one was still picking out frames, one just arrived and was coughing away, and my wife). The staff, I think, has improved. Yes, when I first saw Dr. Koh, there seemed to be an argument going on between the staff. But last year, we came while they were still having their office meeting, and they were discussing how to keep the patients happy and not waiting long. This year, it was an oiled, well-tuned machine. read more

Dr. Koh has a big heart, very kind, recognizes me always by name even if I can not recognize myself in the mirror :))i He is very simple to talk to, and I feel like home every time when in his office, for more than 11 years.... I am not a big reviewer , but I have to share my latest experience; I stopped by dr. Koh' office, having some eye redness. I had no appointment, no referral from my PMD, and in addition, it was a lunch time....THe receptionist kindly told me that Dr. Koh is on lunch for an hour and that I can return later ...At the same time, Dr. koh has been walking by inside the office, looked at me, than stepped outside the door, smiled, acknowledged me by name, looked at my eyes, told me that they are red, and sad that he will see me right away....I felt uncomfortable interrupting lunch, and he responded that it is very kind of me.....I wanted to cry....HIS STAFF IS AMASING AS WELL! He spent 15 min with me, but I will always remember his kindness- rare to find in our busy live read more

Courteous, professional, proficient and efficient. Great eye doc. Would recommend to all my friends and family without reservation.

Yesterday we got to Dr. Koh's office at 9 a.m. for a 9:15 appointment. At 10 a.m. we were still waiting - and when I asked the assistant she said they were "running behind." I asked why she hadn't told us that when we got there. Sitting outside Dr. Koh's office we could hear him in with a patient for more than 10 mintues, giving him an eye exam - then we heard him say, "You aren't my patient!" This person was supposed to see another doctor in the office. Then, we left. read more
