It takes a long time to change d glass lens to the new frame. Bad idea to come here on your break time. The outside looks dirty but ones you go in you kind of forget whats out there. Very small location though. read more

Took my daughter here for her first exam and was very impressed. The staff was so nice unlike many doctor's offices we've been to. They seem very up to date with technology as they even have a machine that can take pictures of the back of the eye...the doctor even emailed me a copy of the pictures! They also don't have paper charts, everything was done on the computer. Wow! We were seen promptly; we didn't have to wait around to be seen by the doctor. The exam was very thorough. My daughter was scared at first, but now she can't wait for her next check up. They also have a good selection of glasses. The office is really clean and modern. I have recommended my friends to come here and they have nothing but good things to say about this place. read more

The service is great. The entire staff is very friendly. Dr. Chen took the time to answer any questions. Gabriel was very helpful in the selection process of my new frames. I walked in without an appointment and was able to see Dr. Chen. The assortment of frames is great. There are many styles and assortments available. I love the selection of brands. I did pay the difference out of pocket for a designer frame, but SGO gave me a 20 percent discount in addition to what my insurance covered. I am extremely satisfied with the wait time & the quality of service & care provided to me. read more

I have been coming here for over 20 years along with my Family. We been coming here since when Dr. Melmed was here. Blanca & Norma have been the Greatest people ever. Every one here is really nice and they make you feel very comfortable. It's a real pleasure to come here with such nice Customer Service. OXOXOXO read more

I love this place. They are GREAT with children and adults. Everyone there was nice. The doctor takes time to answer your questions. I am able to make an appointment within the same week and I have been able to walk in without an appointment and get seen quickly! I have recommended my whole family to South Gate Optometry and they have all been very satisfied. I highly recommend this place to everyone. They also have very stylish glasses (sun glasses, reading glasses, and everyday use glasses) read more

I bought a glasses two years ago, they cost me 400.00dls, never fits me okay very bad quality, the lady in charge of the glasses was very rude and treat me as i was getting my glasses for free read more

My family and I have been coming to this office for a few years and they've always been very helpful. They take the time to offer the best option in order to purchase the glasses of your choice. They also have a good selection to pick from. Prices are also reasonable. read more

I came here for my anual eye exam and had such a wonderful experience. Starting from the receptionist at the front desk being polite and welcoming. Dr Corona was extremely knowledgeable, thorough with his exam which made me feel confident and comfortable. I chose to buy glasses as well as contacts. Dr corona did an excellent job guiding me to the right pair of contacts. Alex did a great job in helping me choose a great pair of glasses in addition to breaking down my insurance coverage. I'm very pleased with the care I received and will return annually for my eye exam. I recommend this establishment to friends and family. read more

Absolutely impressed by the Dr's!!! Dr Corona and Dr Sung are so flipping amazing!!! These are the Dr's that one only prays they get. My son and I experienced such thoroughness with these 2 Dr's. I really felt they treated my son like if they were treating their own family. Dr. Corona and Dr. Sung went over and beyond with care for my son. I will forever come here for my eye Care!!! From the receptionist and on, they were all wonderful!!! Not only that but the office was so cozy feeling and decorated so classy!! I loved that all the girls had a uniform coat on. That look really makes the office have a well put together look!! I absolutely recommend them. read more

Very helpful and easy to talk to. They have a great selection of glasses to choose from and are very helping when you're not sure what looks good on you. The staff is eager to help and they are always attentive to your needs. Dr. Corona is great and super nice, I highly recommend you stop by and check them out! read more

First timer here at South Gate Optometry and giving them a 5 star. I was able to get an appointment within the week, check in was super fast and easy, wait time was less then 15 min which is always a plus for me. I saw Dr.Corona he is amazing he is a young Dr but really knows what he's doing I know some people are hesitant about seeing young Dr because of that same very reason but he is very thorough, literally took his time to explain everything from point a to point b even though he was busy he didn't rush through my appointment he made sure I understood everything he was talking about. Alejandro helped me pick out my glasses and and also explained all of the options that I have for my lenses and warranty. I am super happy overall with this office and staff I definitely recommend it. read more

As soon as I walked in I was greeted. When it was my turn to go inside I felt comfortable && the process went smoothly. All of the staff is nice && friendly! This is the best I've seen so far!! When I chose my glasses Erika helped me && told me which looked best on me && she even gave me discounts && told me how the payments will work. I love that she took her time with me && demonstrated care. I loved the experience! :) read more

All the staff is great here, and I definitely need to thank the optician, Alejandro, that assisted me in choosing my two pairs of glasses. He was patient while I looked through all the displays (about 2 or 3 times), and helped me eliminate all the glasses I had selected, until we found the perfect 2. In addition, he broke down the cost of everything for me so that I understood exactly what I was paying for. Overall, kind/helpful staff and a large selection of stylish bands. read more

South Gate optometry is great. It's clean, and equipped with state of the art machinery. The staff is amazing, professional and approachable. I was fitted for color eye contacts and thanks to Alexander I received my my contacts exactly in 4 business days! He's awesome and I will definitely recommend my friends and family. I loved the customer service read more

Today was my first time trying this place out after being at a different eye doctor for almost 10 years, so I was definitely a bit nervous, but my experience definitely met all my expectations & more! The receptionists were friendly & welcoming and very helpful. The lady who did my initial eye exam (before I saw the actual doctor, I believe her name was Blanca) was super great & made sure I was comfortable through the whole process. The doctor that attended me was Dr. Corona & he was super friendly & explained any questions I had very thoroughly. Overall I had a really good experience & I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

I like the convenience of extended hours after 5pm and also liked they're opened on Saturday. And I also like that they accept insurance. The whole visit was good. Dr Chen was great! Gave me great advise with an issue of irritation I was having on my eyes.They had a variety of frames to choose from. Got some nice Ray Bans. My only issue was that it took nearly a month to get my glasses. That's the longest I've had to wait for glasses. I did inquire about it and was advised there was an issue with my lenses passing the inspection. So it was going to take longer than the 2 weeks I was told on my visit so then i got a call from the manager explaining this to me and I appreciate the follow up. Shows great customer service. I went on a Saturday @ 7am. I was seen but apparently whoever booked me in didn't notate in the system. They put me 2 weeks from the day I went. That was a bit upsetting at first as I don't wake up by early in the morning on a Saturday unless I have too lol but they told me to wait and then I was seen. read more

They have always been very quick and helpful. They have been very satisfactory in promptness and providing me with great care. They were quick to order my glasses and contacts. I would definitely recommend people to this office. read more

I came here hoping to see an eye doctor because I have been having headaches. I am a previous patient here, I gave the girl my medical card and she said the issue date was wrong. any other eye doctor would get medical on the line because we are the patients. she didn't even bother to contact them or anything and said oh I can't do it because you need an updated card, with such attitude and a strong tone of voice. I will never go back here, and take my business elsewhere. I feel bad for the eye doctor because little do they know they have lazy workers and horrible customer service. not only that the eye doctor is losing revenue. read more

Love this place. So friendly and Felicia Chen is great!

Love it! My first time here, and Dr. Chen was great. Took the time to explain everything to me, and made me feel like she truly cares for her patients. I highly recommend her, as she's truly a professional. Minus one star because their appointments are about a month away, especially for Saturdays. read more

This is a nice place and really big too. Just entered and started to like it a lot its very clean and reminds me of the other optometric where i use to go read more

When I first walked in the office, I was a little skeptical about my decision. When I first walked in, the reception lobby was quite small. Second, when I was called for the preliminary check-up, the lady who helped me gave very vague explanations as to what she was going to do and she was a little rude. (Especially when she did the "puff" test with my eyes!) I mean at least a warning. My feelings completely changed when I saw the optometrist (Dr. Chen), she not only was very professional and friendly but she explained everything to me in detail and was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I had to re-take one test before I left (since the instructions were not made clear the first time) but luckily I was helped by Ms. Vega and not the initial person when I first went in. Ms. Vega was very clear with the instructions and also very friendly. I would definitely recommend my friends/family here. read more

Very helpful and informative group, I love it! I changed to this office about a year ago now and at every appointment I get all my questions answered. My Dad and I have been helped by Dr. Chen who I would definitely recommend. She is not only patient and detailed with her answers, but she is very friendly despite all the questions my Dad had. When it comes to their opticians Delia has been very patient and helpful while preparing us to see the Dr. and selecting our glasses/contacts. She makes sure we leave with the glasses we love and feel most comfortable with. (a plus, Both Dr. Chen and Delia speak English & Spanish) read more

Had a good first experience for the most part, Gabriel was really helpful while I was selecting my frames. The only complaint is that it took two weeks to get my glasses. read more

Call to make an appointment and gave me such a hard time, like having a personal i.d. for my 7 year old daughter... I mean... really

Have been coming here for years now. Great place, great doctors. Always have appt available same week. Great brands

Very nice clinic. Dr. Peninno is a true professional. Kind and caring person. She truely cares about her patients. My family and friends all come here. I would recommend this office to anyone, and I appreciate the work that they do. read more

Thank you South Gate Optometry! As always, you continue to provide me and my 2 children with exceptional service. I called in today for help with my daughters contacts. She is away at college and we forgot to order her supply before she left. Blanca promptly pulled her file and made sure she got my daughters address at school so she would directly receive her contacts. It's great service like this that keep us coming back to your office. Thank you! read more

Haven't been the the optometrist in a good while. Gaby and Dr. Corona were great made me feel comfortable and at home. Very clean location and great staff with a large selection of frames. Will definitely be going back for my check ups. read more

Loved this place. The service was great. Staff are very nice and helpful especially Erica. I will definitely come back.

Been going there for five years or more,every time I go, something is wrong, first time gave old prescriptions from before I had a surgery. Next time glasses took abiut two months to receive. On another pair the mirror coverage was missing, took me a day to notice, someone should have checked these glasses for accuracy. Today, after wasn't a month, instead of checking if I was eligible for contact fittings after my request, they just scheduled. I took time off work, get there and they say I am only eligible for exam, I called about getting fitted 4 times last year, no one returned my call. The management tried to say , "we don't know what your eligible for until the insurance responds, and keeping you on hold would not be professional" in the past I spoke with a worker at least twice who found out what I was eligible within 15 minutes. Some should ask is this for a fitting, or exam, look up the file and explain,The eligibility, or call back after information has been obtained. Don't know why I tortured myself so many years with this site, they have an excuse for everything. AND BELIEVE THIS, THEY WILL CHARGE YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER, GET THEIR PAY, AND YOU MERCHANDISE WILL NOT BE ON TIME, THEY SAY SORRY, ITS THE MANUFACTURE OR SOMEBODY OTHER THEN THEMSELVES. THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS, ITS ALWAYS YOU IR THE OTHER GUYS MIX UP. DONT GO. THERE ARE SOME NICE PEOPLE, JUST TOO MANY MISTAKES. GOOD THING IT IS NOT HEART SURGERY. read more

I am very thankful to have this office near my house. it is very conveneint for me and all my family since we all come here. They provide exceptional customer service, especially Dr. Pennino. She is very patient, friendly and professional in the work she provides. She takes her time to answer all my questions and concerns. Erika, one of the doctors assistants, is also very genial and proficient in her work. She goes out of her way to accommodate my families needs. I will highly recommend this optometry to anyone who is looking for excellent eye care. read more
