This place is within walking distance from my house. It has friendly and knowledgable doctor and some friendly staff. Others not so friendly and could use a smile otherwise I would've given this place a 5 star. The prices are fair. I get to have my eyes checked by an eye candy. The street tacos stand sets up in front at sun down. What else can I ask for? read more

Disappointed with this place of business. I was told a 6 month follow up would be performed free of charge. When I returned, I was told that was only true if I still had insurance. Since I didn't the charge would be $60. I should have been informed of this instead of being told there would be no charge. The woman who fitted me with glasses at my initial appoinment did not have the cleaner for the lenses both times (when I was fitted and when I picked up the glasses). This is not like the printer breaking down - you should stock consumables you constantly need and use. I will soon have insurance again but I will never use it here. read more

I recently took a vacation to LA to visit friends and upon my arrival realized I didn't bring contact lenses. A quick search of optometrists in the area I was staying brought up Optometry Center. Barby was extremely helpful and asked that I have my optometrist (I live in NYC) fax my prescription and she would see if they could help. As it turned out, they didn't carry the same brand of lens I wore, but Barby asked what insurance I had and it turned out I still had benefits left for the year. I needed the lenses immediately and couldn't wait too long for an appointment, but they managed to squeeze me in anyway. Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled with the service. Dr. Tang was extremely informative, and Barby was a consummate professional who really cares about the services provided. I've switched brands and have never had my eyes feel so comfortable as if I'm not wearing lenses at all! Barby not only worked out my insurance benefits, but also took care of providing me with the relevant paperwork to obtain my rebates from Acuvue, including preaddressed envelopes! I was amazed at how affordable this emergency ended up being. I just today sent in my rebates which made me want to sing the praises of Optometry Center. And now I having bragging rights that my eye doctor is in LA! read more

Dr Tang is AWESOME! Best eye doctor I have had! Me and my wife have been coming here for over 5 years. I get contact and glasses here. They can order frames if you do not find ones you like. Staff is really friendly. Street parking or park in the lot along the back alley. read more

I have been coming to this center since Dr. Lages was around and then when I found out he was retiring I was so sad, but Dr. Tang took over the practice and couldn't have been happier. Dr. Tang and his staff are amazing. Everyone from Diana to Barby have always been great to me. They are personable and well I have nothing, but love for this entire practice. Haven't lived in the area for 8 years, but the commute is worth it and I do not plan on ever going elsewhere. read more

I was really hoping to make this establishment my regular optometry center but unfortunately I was left very unsatisfied with the way they run their practice. As soon as you walk in the door they ask if you've made an appointment and don't even bother to look up. Then without asking why you came in they make you sign in and sit down(huge emphasis on sitting down and getting out of their way) waiting and waiting with no consideration. Such a shame, it's so close to my house. read more

This is my first time doing business here. I went for my appointment the first time about 1 week ago. The appointment was fine and everything was great. They told me come back today to pick up my glasses. I came from work and it took me forever to get there and when I get there I signed in and then waited another 5 10 minutes to then be told I'm sorry they should have called you to tell you they weren't ready. They should have told you 2 weeks. I was so upset. I took time out of my day leaving work to go here and pick up my glasses to be told they aren't ready. Absolutely awful experience. Takes away from the first experience that I had here. read more

I just saw Dr Tang for the first time today and he was fantastic. He's smart, caring, easy to talk to. he immediately assessed why I've had problems with my contacts for years and explained how he would help me get ones that will work better for me. The office staff was competent and efficient. I was able to get in quickly. The office was clean and I felt good about their covid protocols. I'm thrilled to have found this practice. read more

The doctor is great. Very attentive and friendly, does his job very professionally. I had a lot of questions regarding my vision and a lasik surgery. He gave me the great explanation with all the pros and cons. I asked about an everyday contacts and got a 5 day trial kit to check it out. It's was easy to schedule an appointment, too. My experience with Dr. Tang is excellent. read more

The doctor is very friendly and professional but staff is not very helpful. I bought my glasses about 3 weeks ago and was told that I would get them in 2 weeks. Now they are saying they still don't have them ready and they don't even know when I will get then. They don't calm me to give me an update, I have to be calling everyday because they can't call me. Worst experience ever. I have been coming here for years but after this I will not be returning again. 3 weeks later, still waiting for my glasses. read more

Worst experience getting my contacts and glasses. Took a month to get my contacts because I guess they forgot to order them . Never returned my calls. Finally the doctor called me to apologize . Staff is rude and lazy!!!! read more

Dr. Tang is always courteous and professional. He remembers who you are even if it's only a once a year visit. The office is tidy and they don't make you wait too long. I have been coming here for years and I am always treated well. I usually get contacts and glasses, they have a good selection of frames and Barby is so helpful and knowledgeable about contacts and getting you what works best. Highly recommend this place! read more

I have been coming to this place for years I have always gotten my glasses here it wasn't until recent years that I've been noticing the glasses quality have gone down and the prices have soared I paid so much for them to just break or scratch even tho I shelled out for the "scratch resistant" every single time I've gotten glasses from there they have had screws that were popping out of one leg cause it wasn't the right size when I came to get it changed they just cut the screw so it wouldn't pop out anymore which caused them to get loose over time read more

Like other reviews stated the doctor is excellent, however the staff is completely terrible. I sat in the waiting room for over 30 mins to pick up a pair of glasses. Staff is very nonchalant about patients waiting. Not coming back after this visit. read more

I really enjoyed coming to the Optometry Center. Dr. Tang's staff is very friendly and patient (which is key when you are selecting glasses). I have been coming here for over 7 years now and there has never been a bad experience. read more

I had been a constant sufferer of dry eyes and prone to burning watery eyes for years :(. But not until I was introduced to this center. Dr. Tang helped me ease these issues and found a better way to take care of my eyes. I mean initially I was expecting to be there in and out, because other eye doctors I've seen in the past just simply hand me my prescription and that's that, but the staff here really took their time with me and made sure all my questions/issues been addressed. I was treated like an actual patient :). I highly recommend this place. Optometry Center if you come across this review Thank you again and you guys are awesome! :) read more

I've been going to the Optometry Center and seeing Dr. Lages for about 20 years. I've been been pleased with his staff and the attention I receive. I've never had a complaint. read more

Very nice and clean great service from all the staff dr was very polite and kind , I went in for a simple frame exchange and my experience was great when I need some new lenses on my glasses im coming straight over here!!!!! read more

I went in because my eye was really irritating me and discovered I needed glasses for the first time! I was pretty upset, but the doctor was so nice and helpful. Then I waited for someone to help me pick out my first pair of glasses and she was so kind and understanding. This place was very professional and I would highly recommend them for anyone. This doctor is my favorite! read more

Dr. Tang is personable and thorough. The staff was courteous and well-trained. I had trouble with bent frames and other offices said that there was not much they could do. Dr. Tang and his staff used their equipment to heat the frames so they could be bent back to as good as new. They did not charge any extra for this. A high recommendation. read more

Dr. Lagas is a very kind, warm, and great doctor. I got a great Rx from him. I waited only a few minutes after my arrival time to be seen. The people who take care of your frames are really good too. read more

Just went to Dr. Tang in Eagle Rock. He was just great. Answered all my questions in detail and with patience. I would recommend him very highly. It's always wonderful to find a great healthcare professional you can trust. read more

Dr. Tang and his staff are great! He is professional and has a calm chairside manner. The office is modern and the staff are polite, professional and courteous. read more

I was on a road trip and lost my contacts. Since I have a very poor eye sight and can't drive with my glasses on, I called the Optometry Center for help. They were not helpful at all! My prescription was valid for two more weeks, but they refused to sign it... I said, it was an emergency and I needed to get back home, but they did not care... They just repeated that they are selling contacts in packages for 6 months and etc, etc, ... All I asked was a pair of contacts to get back home safe, but they were callously citing the legalities and their packaging deals... Overall, while Dr. Tang is nice and professional, their business model is not client centered, but selling more of their products... read more

1st visit 2 years ago, refilled a prescription but kept my Nike frames. Good install great transition lens. Today Barby helped my contacts first time in 10 years put them on nice and patience while I applied my new contacts. read more

Love Dr. Tang, but his staff is the worst. Seems like they are miserable working there. They have no people skills nor are they responsive or friendly. It seems like they are always mad at all the patients and don't want to be bothered. read more

I made an appointment through ZocDoc with Dr. Tang. I have vision exams covered under my insurance and, according to ZocDoc, Dr. Tang takes my insurance. I got a call telling me that they weren't sure if they could see me, so I gave them all of my insurance information over the phone, including my social security number, and they said they would call me back. I had to call twice to get someone knowledgeable on the phone and that person said my insurance did not cover vision exams. After re-checking my plan on line and on the phone, I called back and said it did and the practice told me they would call me back to confirm my appointment. They never called back, so I never got a chance to meet Dr. Tang, but I would never return to a practice like this since they apparently cannot be bothered to call potential clients back. read more

Super thank you to VSP Mobile Eyes by Senator /DR. Ed Hernandez for giving his time and free eye exam & glasses to the poor/low income. I was waiting in line and about 2 hours I got my Free Gift Certificate, and I chose Optometry Center out of that list of doctors. This was my first time getting anything for free and I was a little iffy about how the Optometry center are gonna treat me. They were very nice people from the receptionist to tech to Dr Tang. Especially Dr Tang, a very handsome man and nice manner and very sweet, so all the single ladies please go to this Optometry Center, you will be treated like a queen. I would give this service & its people a 5 star too. Thank you to Optometry Center, I would definitely coming back for all my glasses. read more

I walked in and walked out. The lady in the front (white/gray hair) looked very annoyed by me walking in and completely ignore me. Loss one customer today. read more

After three years of coming here for my daughter I cant take it anymore. The staff is Extremely RUDE ! I was told my daughters glasses were to come in 1-2 weeks. After 3 weeks I finally called to follow up and was put on hold, after 10 minutes on hold I hung up and called back at which point they said they had to call the lab to find out what happened, and because the tech was on vacation she didn't notice that the glasses hadn't come in. When they finally arrived a month later, we came in for the fitting and waited for 30-45 minutes in the lobby while the tech carried on a personal conversation about her weekend dinner choices, I finally stood up , politely interrupted and asked if its okay to take the glasses that I fitted on my daughter myself since they were on the counter the whole time (simultaneously, the phone was ringing off the hook and staff was standing around talking and laughing..) I am still waiting for the second pair of glasses I purchased which was suppose to be in on June 9th its now the 17th and still no phone call or follow up. Too bad because Dr Tang is great, he should ditch his staff though because they just cost him a customer of 3 years ! read more

Dr Tang is amazing! I found this place on yelp after reading all the great reviews about Dr Tang. I had been looking for a new eye doctor and decided to give this place a try. I was totally impressed by the courtesy and professionalism provided by the technician who did the pre exam on my eyes before I saw the doctor. She was polite, friendly, and made me feel very comfortable during this process. I then met Dr. Tang who instantly made me feel very welcome. He explained everything in such a clear manner that was easy to understand. He took the time to go over my history and speak to me to address my concerns. He is very patient and very pleasant. He makes you feel like you are his only patient. He tells you to make sure that you are happy with your eyewear once you receive it, and to let him know if you have any questions or concerns. I did exactly that, as I did have a few questions. He immediately called me back and I saw him the following day. He addressed my questions and concerns and was so professional. He is a wonderful doctor and I am a patient for life. This place is amazing! read more
