Unfortunately, I had an unpleasant experience one more time at this clinic. I stopped going because…read morethe people at the front desk accused me of ordering something I didn't. I asked to speak to the doctor, and they refused to call her. I picked up my glasses, one to work on my computer and the other to drive. I expected this person to know what she had to do. She said, and I quote, "You want this for sunglasses and the other ones for the computer." As the doctor's assistant, I expected she knew what she had to do, but she didn't. She had no idea what I needed and assumed I "wanted" sunglasses. Hence, I need them to drive at night, so where did she get that idea? I don't know. When I picked them up, I figured they were transition lenses, but they weren't. I called to ask why she had they done that way, and she just responded, "You asked for them." Doctor: I'm sorry your staff is incompetent; I didn't deserve to pay over $500 for something I didn't order. The worst part was that your staff refused to let me speak to you. So, I've been forced to leave a message here.

Also they know how to manage their time w/ each customer. They never leave a customer waiting. Very attentive to their customers. The store manager, Jayson sold me my first pair of glasses. I asked to see a particular pair of glasses, but he kept showing me other pairs that fit my style. I am very happy w/ my purchases. I will most definitely keep going back to this particular store. Edit 07-25-08: I went back last week to purchase another pair of sunglasses, but I was told Jayson no longer worked there. BOO! Although, there were two exceptional people that helped me out, Jeremy and Margret. I picked a pair and Jeremy showed me a different pair, which I had past a few times over. I asked Margret's opinion, and I was sold!

The new doctor misdiagnosed my husband, and they clearly lack the proper equipment to take accurate measurements for hard contact lenses so the contacts they ordered didn't fit at all and had to be reordered. What followed was an absolute communication nightmare. We called multiple times asking for updates and were repeatedly told they would call us when they knew something. A full month went by with complete silence. When we finally called again, they got back to us a day later with the convenient excuse that the order had supposedly been "lost in transit." What a coincidence. A month of no contact, no follow-up, no accountability, and then suddenly the order just vanished? This practice used to be great. Now it's a waste of your time and money. Look elsewhere.

Him and his wife are the nicest people who really care about your eye health and making sure you're comfortable and understand everything. The rest of the staff is also incredibly kind. They also ensure you're always paying the fairest prices and are very honest and explain what you're getting charged for, which is not always the case at other optometrists. They also have a wide variety of glasses, with really nice brands! I would recommend them to anyone!

Upon my visit, the staff in particular, Barbara, is very personable and made my visit as comfortable as possible from start to finish. Dr Poolsaad took the time to ensure I was comfortable and he listened to all my question and he provided me with answers I could fully understand. I was very nervous and I was thankful Dr. Poolsaad, administered each test with care and precision. The results are promising as my vision with my new contacts has improved. In further review, I found it very comforting that Dr. Poolsaad was familiar with my Retina specialist and that brings so much comfort in the case coordination for my eye health is required. Hands down! My family and I found our new Optometrist.

I called the Friday before Easter to schedule an appointment for my 91 year old father. They were able to give me an appointment for the next Tuesday. The receptionist took into consideration my father's age and made sure he would be given extra time. As he was doing the tests, the technician was very patient and caring. It took awhile for my dad to understand what he needed to do and a few times the tests had to be redone. At one point they even had to call the doctor to come assist. Through it all, they were extremely understanding and patient. This was exactly the type of office that I was looking to take my elderly dad to. Thank you to the entire staff for their teamwork and exceptional service.

DEFRAUDING a 19-year-old…read more My son walked into LA Optometry in Montebello yesterday, asked what the costs would be for a contact lens exam and fitting. He was told for $75.00 he would receive a contact exam, fitting, and training. He had just taken an eye exam two months ago, so he brought his eye prescription with him. After taking the test and getting fitted for the contacts, he was charged $145.00. When asked why it had doubled, their answer to him was "we had to give you two eye exams". So basically they're committing FRAUD, telling customers one price and charging you another after the fact. Their staff should have made it very clear to my son, that he would get charged for two eye exams from the start. That they would need to retest his eyes and test a second time for contacts separately. That was never explained to him. If we had known from the start, he could have simply returned to his original Optometrist and not have gotten scammed by adults who know better. So much for helping local businesses. We'll NEVER return, and we'd strongly recommend to anyone thinking of using their business to have the price written down before you get charged double.
