From Dr. Matsunaga to Brandon to the front desk staff, Southwood Optometry is amazing! Our family have been going to Southwood Optometry since 2021. He's very careful and thorough and Brandon is so helpful with picking and fitting our glasses. Scheduling our annual appointment for all four of us is always easy and love how efficiently they get through all four of us in an hour tops. We only stay past the hour when we need to pick frames. read more

I've been seeing Dr Matsunaga for almost a decade now at the recommendation of a friend, and it's been a great experience every time! Dr Matsunaga and his staff are kind, professional, and efficient. He is clear in his exams, and him and his staff are on top of everything. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for an optometrist in the South Bay! read more

Always feel welcome and taken care of here, more than any other optometrist I've been to. Clean, super friendly and helpful.

Dr. Matsunaga is extremely helpful, kind, takes time to discuss your results and concerns. One of the best optometrists I've experienced (I've been to many - Id say about 12 optometrists over the years due to moving and just wanting to try out new optometrists. He's extremely knowledgeable. 5/5! The unfortunate thing is, the front desk receptionist is a 0/5. I have spoken to her at least 5 times via phone and in-person, and it's like it's her goal to be the least helpful person. Rude responses, always acts like you're bothering her, and takes forever to get back to you on simple items. She's off-putting enough for me to never want to come back to this office, unfortunately -- despite how great the optometrist is. read more

This was a great experience. The doctor was very nice and explained everything in a simple way. The staff was friendly and helpful too. Everything went smoothly, and I felt comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I was referred to Dr. Matsunaga by a friend. Best referral ever.! Dr. Matsunaga is very thorough and provides concise and clear explanations. Due to his thoroughness he identified an eye issue that required treatment by an ophthalmologist; his referral was awesome as well. Due to Dr. Matsunaga's skills, my eyes are healthy and I can see clearly!! My wife is now a patient as well!! Highly recommend. read more

I have been going here for over 8 years. The staff are very professional and polite, they check me in without a wait and help with the parking validation.

This is a new office for me. I have only had one eye doctor for myself and my children. So this was a big move for us. They are very friendly and professional and I immediately felt comfortable.

Dr Matsunaga is great! I highly recommend. I have been coming here for 2 years now and the service is wonderful

Dr. Matt Matsunaga is so knowledgeable and usn't afraid to share that knowkedge ... answers all your questions intelligently and easily understandable. Very personable from a conservative viewpoint. Refractions are quick: don't think too hard, just give your quick answer. Learned from friends who were going to Optometry school and became successful Optometrists. Dr. Matsunaga, schooled out of state, is the most impressive even tho' his predecessor became the Director of the School of Optometry. His staff has been with him since the previous predecessor. Highly recommend! read more

I started coming to Southwood Optometry a few years ago, when Dr Matsanagu took over the practice. Dr Matsanagu is young, kind and always fun to talk to. The staff is very professional and I am always seen quickly-I've never waited more than 5min max. Dr Matsanagu has always determined the correct prescription for me and I feel comfident that my eyes are being cared for. read more

I had an exceptional experience at this optometrist office! The staff here is incredibly friendly. They provided top-notch eye care. I can't praise their professionalism and kindness enough! read more

The absolute best. enough said... but heres some more details if you need them: - Staff is friendly. Call ahead if you have any questions before your appointment! - Taking all precautions for patient health and safety amidst a pandemic taking over the world. - Hand sanitizer available - Limiting the number of patients in at one time to allow for proper social distancing okay okay for the actual eye appointment: - Patient education is clear and concise - Demonstration of expertise and professionalism throughout entire appointment from all staff members - All questions are easily answered - Clear explanation of all charges for the visit Tip: the building also has other offices and the parking lot and can get full, Southwood will also validate your parking ticket, but carry some cash just in case the visit is a little longer, the guy at the exit only accepts cash, its usually like a dollar! read more

I am not sure why I haven't written a review for SO before now. I have been coming here for years, when Dr. Nakano was here. After he retired, Dr. Matsunaga continued his practice with the same amazing staff from before. Dr. Matt Matsunaga is a Torrance schools alum (North High I believe), and he is great! Even my very young daughter at the time, found him very friendly. The staff is very organized and informative. Brandon, the frames specialist, is a GEM. He is very very good at his job, and I look forward to seeing him at my visits. If you are looking for a family optometrist, Southwood Optometry, has it all. Yes, Dr. Matsunaga sees kids! You can be in and out in an hour flat! One hour parking validation really lives up to it's name. I was shocked that it was exactly on point. Visit them at the plaza across from Little Company (where all of the great doctors and specialists are - yes, that building) - there is a parking attendant, but it is no trouble at all. Visit SO on the 3rd floor - Suite 350. Also, please make an appointment for glasses pick-up so as not to over-crowd the staff. Happy Reading. (Posted from MamaGooLiving.com) read more

I've been coming to Southwood Optometry for over a decade now even though I live an hour away. The team here is kind, professional, and punctual.

So I was back for my yearly check up and I really can't say enough nice things about Dr Matsunaga and his Staff. I always have fun there especially talking about food! Great tips on local eats so make sure you ask them Anyway my prescription is still good so I don't need New glasses which is another great thing about Southwood; they don't oversell you, if you need glasses great but if you don't they don't try to make you buy anything!! But they are just great people providing a great service. Wish I didn't have to wait a year to see them all! Go and be happy you did!! read more

Dr. Matt and team are excellent. They are knowledgeable, thorough, customercentric and appointment availability is good.

Southwood Optometry and Dr Matsunaga took over for our old optometrist. We have been coming here for 2 years and are very happy with the dr and his team. They always run on time and are very efficient. They have also been very accommodating when needing to stop in a pick up - as long as we call ahead. Great reminder emails as well. Dr M grew up here so it's always nice when locals stay and continue to serve the community read more
