Wow. I walked in today and ordered a new pair of Emporio Armani frames and lenses. Pricing? Reasonable. Service? Top notch. Hotel? Trivago. I left feeling like a new man - albeit without the glasses in my possession yet. The team working this afternoon were absolute rockstars. Promote dem all. read more

Stein Optometric Center - Optometrists Near Me - Burbank, California

I've worn glasses or contacts for over 45 years. I had countless number of exams and office visits. This was one of the best and most thorough experiences that I have had at the optometrist. The Dr. was great she explained every test and the exams, step by step, I really appreciated her professionalism and she was very pleasant. Then it came down to the staff; Mary Lu and Maria they are exceptional, so kind, attentive, patient, thorough and really engaging with you in helping you find the perfect frames to the most proper tint. I can't say enough about Stein Optics in Burbank they are the best. Best of all I left there with new contacts and I can See. read more

Great service and nice variety of frames. They have a wonderful staff that is very helpful.

Made appointment and confirmed the day before just to tell me it's the next day when i arrived ...I even put in my calendar when appointment was made... anyway waste of time!! read more

In a desperate attempt to drum up business they staged a "fake pre-appointment" scheme that was supposedly scheduled "a year ago". lol seriously who would do that and even telling me I'm not eligible for an exam or eyeglasses yet so what's the point of harassing me with these phone calls??? Time to find a new optometrist. Pffft... read more

Been coming here for years!! I'm so happy that Mari Lu and Maria still works here!!! They continue to always be soooooo nice and helpful. So the 5 stars are for them. The company now has a new management company, which is a bummer. Some of my favorite brands, they no longer carry and just a whole new set of policies which I don't care for, compared to prior of the new management, but fortunately Mari Lu and Maria stayed REAL which is what brings us back here. Eye doctor is still good too. read more

Miriam, Dr Nenov and Dr Kuriki are AMAZING. I went in to have my daughter seen by Dr Kuriki today and she was so knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. Dr Nenov is our usual Dr but she was off today. She is equally amazing. All the staff there are great and I am so thankful for them accomodating us in this case since it was a bit of an emergency and they squeezed us in. read more

Amazing service! My contacts fit great, actually the best contacts that I have had in a long time, and the staff is really good in what they do, really good attention. Definitely I'm sticking with them for the future. read more

I've always had great and thorough eye exams at Stein. Mary Lou works the front and I think on the accounting side. If you can, ask her to help you break down the best price because her knowledge of insurance helped me so much!!! She has made my experience here the best! read more

I went in for my annual exam and was told there would be a $15 copay with my VSP insurance --- $15, that's all it would be. After the exam, I get hit with a bill of undisclosed charges: Refraction exam: $15.90 Comprehensive exam: $ 78.60 Standard Evaluation: $63.75 Total: $158.25 -- in out-of-pocket surprise charges Look at the receipt. I WASN'T EVEN CHARGED THE COPAY!!! This bait-and-switch tactic has been reported to government regulators for investigation. I'm done as a patient with this business. read more

Stein Optometric Center - Optometrists Near Me - Burbank, California

Great for safety glass and range of glasses. I check my prescription every year. They have a large selection to choose from and hours are later so you can come after work. The Australian Eye Dr is attentive and detailed oriented. Staff changes seems constant now than before covid. I had better customer service and follow-up in the past than after covid. Unfortunately STEIN no longer can do prescription Maui Jims. Therefore, I found another in El Segundo. It's a smaller office so have a smaller selection Stein, but the service is GREAT and if you know your model/size they can order it. read more

I had a pleasant experience at Stein Optometric Center. I felt it was time to get my eyes checked out , so I scrolled yelp for optometrist in my area. Stein Optometric had solid reviews and not too far from my place. Everyone from top to bottom were welcoming and professional. The girls in the front got me checked in immediately and had me fill out all necessary paperwork. My optometrist Tatevik Mananian guided me through all the eye exams and kindly answered all my questions. After all the eye tests, it was determined a prescription for reading glasses would be needed . One of the young ladies in front assisted me with picking out frames and showed me all the glasses and prices . I was lucky enough to have insurance cover most the cost of the frames, so I was happy. All the frames have prices clearly listed, so it helps seeing the frames in your budget or covered under insurance. I had to pay the balance of the glasses on the spot and was advised that they would be ready within a couple weeks. I was in and out in around an hour. This optometrist is located on the second floor of the Burbank Town Center. Plenty of parking in the structure, especially on weekdays. read more

Appointments only to shop for a prescription frame?! You shouldn't open a store in the mall for public if that's the case. read more

I was in the Burbank town center. I wear glasses and they fell and lost a screw. I came in to Stein optometrc, where Maria really went out of her way to help me replace the screw. Even though I did not buy my glasses here. I will definitely come back just for the service, Maria was very nice in helping me with .y glasses. I give it 5 stars and definitely recomendación stein optometrc. Just ask fir Maria read more

I made an appointment to visit an optometrist after finally having some vision insurance and was able to find this location which was conveniently located close to where I live and had great reviews. It's located inside the mall on the 2nd floor next to Burlington. Don't be fooled like me and think that it's a jewelry place because it's not! I walked past it twice lol (good thing I went to get my eyes checked ) I was greeted by Leslie who was very kind and handed me some paperwork to fill out. Once I was done she took me to do some tests before seeing my optometrist. Leslie was very kind and very professional, especially considering I was their last patient of the day. She explained what tests I was going to be doing and even offered optional tests that had a fee but she never pressured me to do them or even made me feel like she was trying to sell it to me, she mentioned how they would help and why she would recommend them but were totally optional. As mentioned she was super kind and very profesional with everything. After we were done I was greeted by Dr.Cheung who was also super kind and very professional (notice the trend here). We walked through all the tests and she thoroughly explained to me what she was doing as well as show me how my eyes looked from some of the tests I did, she even gave me some eye drop samples to try out. After going through everything she recommended some lenses I would need and told me I would be helped by one of their staff to help me choose some frames and get me finished with paperwork. Maria came out to assist me and she was, you guessed it, super kind and very professional as well. She showed me all of the options and even helped me pick some frames that I felt good about and that fit perfectly. I've seen a lot of reviews that mention Maria and I was glad I was able to experience her professionalism. All in all, everyone at this location was, say it with me one last time, super kind and very professional. If you're looking for an optometrist that's gonna help you out and make you feel good then look no further, they'll take care of you here. Thank you Leslie, Dr. Cheung and Maria, I will definitely be back and will definitely be recommending this place fo all my friends and family. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the place was spotless and they have COVID pre cautions that made me feel safe and comfortable. Definitely appreciated! read more

Had a great visit at their office. Everyone was very kind and helpful, and they are keeping the place safe and clean to help stop the spread. A real stand out that day was Maria. She taught me how to put on and take off contacts and I am proud to say I can finally use contacts! Natalie, Alex, and Clarissa were also very friendly and helpful. read more

I went in recently to get contact lenses for the first time. I struggled to get them in at first during my training, but Maria was very patient with me and helped me as best she could until I got it. She also helped me pick out a new pair of glasses, giving me feedback on which she liked best. I am thankful to her for her help! Overall, I had a positive experience here, thanks to the staff, and will be continuing to go back when needed. read more

The only reason I'm giving this place a 5 star is because of the excellent service my mom got with Maria. She was beyond nice, cordial, patient and kind. She took her time with my mom while I had to be outside due to COVID restrictions but she was absolutely a joy to work with! It's kindness like that we need now more than ever and I appreciated her greatly for doing so. Maria is a wonderful example of great customer service and I couldn't thank her more. I would of been giving this place a 1 star due to the woman we first interacted with. She was one of the doctors curly hair and extremely rude when we arrived. We simply asked if I could join my mom with her and she was just obnoxiously rude and condescending. I literally didn't appreciate her tone. And if it wasn't for Maria's amazing customer service we would of taken our services elsewhere with the interaction of that doctor female with curly hair. So thank you Maria! We appreciate YOU! read more

I've been a client of theirs for over 10 years and they have always taken good care of me. They were vigilant when it comes to their distancing guidelines and had hand sanitizers available upon entry. In the seating areas, you are seated separately and they assign a seat to you for the duration of your visit. All the staff are friendly and attentive. Maria especially helped me a lot when it came to picking the right frames. Grateful to everyone who works here! They made my experience as comfortable as they could make. read more

Very disappointing. Stein Optometric no longer orders Maui Jim prescription sunglasses. No mention of any ordering limitations until after I received my full eye exam. The optometrist gave me two copies of my prescription before I attempted to order my sunglasses, so I can go somewhere else. The optometrist was great. The balance of the staff was pleasant but not equipped to properly explain their inability to place the order. First, I was told they're under new management. Next I was told their new computer system will not allow them to order frames they don't carry, even though they carry the brand. I'd been a customer for 20 years and am very disappointed. read more

Seems very money driven and impersonal. Gave me incorrect eye results just to say my vision hasn't changed so he could send me to get lasik which I'm sure he gets a kickback from. Charged $60 for a "contact fitting" which is pretty much a way to charge you $60 for a trial pair. Makes 0 sense. I spent more here with insurance than my previous company without insurance. Decent staff. It's not terrible. But I would never recommend it to someone read more

I've been going to the Burbank Stein office for years. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for an exam or searching for glasses. Mary Lou is the best at working with picky patients looking for the perfect pair of focals (i.e. me) Maria is super nice not only did she adjust my old frames to perfection but she also picked the perfect pair of glasses to turn into sunglasses. Dr. Kawamura was nice, friendly, and through. Seriously if you need an exam or glasses and want to be in a safe, clean, and friendly environment, go to Stein. All of my experiences with all of the doctors and staff has been nothing less than pleasant. read more

1000% recommend Dr. Mananian. She's so incredibly warm and welcoming, and very thorough when explaining what she's doing next! She explained each step perfectly and I was able to understand what she was talking about. Most doctors don't typically take the time to actually listen to the patients and their concerns about their eyes, so I'm glad that she was able to let me know what was wrong! She encouraged me to get up and move around the office as well to ensure that the lens that she was picking was the absolute correct one. I have slight astigmatism, but nothing out of the ordinary, and she was able to calm my nerves. She was also sweet enough to e-mail me the picture of the back of my eyes because I thought it looked cool haha. I highly, highly recommend booking with her if you're planning on getting your eyes checked out here! read more

I didn't like the vibe of this office. I was forced to try a new eye dr. since my insurance didn't work with my previous one that I loved. Thankfully next year i think I can go with my old dr (Eyedeal/Van Nuys) but I didn't like the doctor here he made me uncomfortable and nervous and I hated that this office is in the dying mall in Burbank. The doctor also thought I had narrow angles and I don't and have normal eye pressure. My other dr. recognized it looks like I have narrow angles but I don't! I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone. So many better options out there- read more

Great customer service! Maria went above and beyond to help me with the problem I was having, even though she told me it's not usually a service they offer! read more

I've been a patient at Stein for the past 5 years or so and I'm so glad I've stuck with this optometric center. The staff here is very attentive and all my encounters have been professional. My appointment has always been on time and all the doctors at Stein have all been thorough and courteous. You can check if your insurance is in network and ask the receptionist to price out your eye examination, contact orders, etc. before you go in for your appointment. Setting up an appointment is quick and easy and the staff does a great job at updating/reminding patients about appointment details and eyewear pickup. Due to COVID, you have to call the center to pick up your eye wear. You have to wait at the entrance of the mall and a staff member brings out your eye wear. read more

IF I'd left this review the day I had my eye exam or picked up my finished glasses it would have been a five star review. Maria was great, the doctor was great, they got me in for a same day exam and the glasses were done in about a week. It was great. Then I put on my distance frames and I felt like I was 7 feet tall... I'm only 5'4"....I could not walk with the glasses on because the ground looks too far away and I feel like I'm going to fall. When I drive it feels like my little compact car is as high as an SUV. This means that my glasses for walking around and driving give me a bad perception of the world around me. I called to ask about it after a few days and I was told that they can ONLY see me on Tuesday or Saturday... Because I need to now see a senior doctor for a prescription check. Sooo, that means I was shunted to a sub par doctor for my exam? Also, the doctor isn't available on Tuesday when I can get there so can I wait until Saturday or some other day in the future? Like, sure...no problem...I don't need to see especially to drive ... No big deal, right? The special kick in the teeth on this one is that I ordered another pair from another seller and I've probably lost the money on that pair IF I was given a bad prescription. And the girl on the phone at Stein said she "understands my frustration." Is there anything more frustrating than being told that by someone who can't possibly understand. I mean what if I were getting on a plane to go somewhere far away next week? No glasses for me I guess. I don't have a choice about going back but I figure I'll save someone else some heartache and wasted money. read more

The staff are incredible especially Mary Lou what an amazing professional with strong focus on customer service and satisfaction!!!!!

I've been going to Stein Optometric for years now and this is my first post. I'm writing to share the wonderful experience of customer service I had with Maria. She is above and beyond amazing and I can't thank her enough. I recently had 2 pairs of my old glasses fitted with new lenses and she was ever so helpful in making sure they fit perfectly, like new. Maria is the one to see!! Thanks a lot Maria for all your help. read more

Just absolutely love the selection & service I receive here. Been a repeat customer for about 10 yrs now n they are hands down the best selection of trendy & fashionable frames. The staff is super friendly & helpful in picking out a great style of frames that is suitable to your type of style, Maria has always been a pleasure in helping me find some really fashionable frames n has a great eye for what looks great on you if contacts are your thing they will take the time to train you to properly apply and remove. Their great customer service & expertise has always been wonderful n I can honestly say in the yrs I've been coming here I've never had an unpleasant experience read more

Came in to get a pair of sunglasses repaired. I was turned away at 3 other places because the screw and bolt that I was missing was special I guess. Upon walking in I was helped immediately by a smiling woman named Mariah! She assured me that they could help fix them no problem. She told me I could have a seat and immediately went back and started working on them. In less then 5 mins she was done. And I couldn't be happier. A+++ customer service. I would highly recommended! read more

I got my prescription here and had a pleasant experience. Dr. Tatevik Mananian took my prescription measurements and checked my eyes. She answered all the questions I had about my contacts and glasses. My mistake, unfortunately, is that I ended up going to LensCrafters for my frames and lenses and quickly noticed discomfort when putting them on. I was told from LensCrafters staff on 3 separate visits in one month that is was me and that I need to wear the glasses more (which I did). Even after explaining to them that I've never had this type of discomfort with my glasses before and that my prescription is the same. They just shut me down. The LensCrafters staff really put it in my head that this was how new glasses felt. My girlfriend then recommends we go back to Stein Optometry. I tell them about my discomfort with the glasses over the phone and right away they bring me in for an appointment with one of the optometrists. The staff here definitely knows what they are doing. The staff and Dr. Kuriki listened to my concerns of discomfort and rechecked everything being very thorough and really trying to find the problem. Dr. Vanessa Kuriki was able to find the mistake that LensCrafters never bothered to look for. The prescription was correct but the measurements on my glasses were wrong causing my eyes to strain and try to shift to the proper focal point. They marked my glasses from LensCrafters and showed me how the focal point on my left eye was higher than my right eye. I had to slant my glasses to the right to comfortably see out of them. They gave me test glasses so I could feel what my glasses were supposed to be and to my relief I felt no discomfort. I am thankful to the staff here for taking care in their work and for solving the problem I initially came in with. The staff here is knowledgeable, helpful, and very kind. They have without a doubt gained a loyal customer. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Also, stay away from LensCrafters! read more

The doctor was just wonderful! I felt so taken care of. And Maria, she helped me pick out the perfect glasses and sunglasses! The are great here! I'll be back! read more

Everyone is fantastic here, the doctors are knowledgeable and the staff are super helpful. Went in for a lasik consult and new glasses in the meantime and got seen in a timely manner, appointment was efficient and I picked out some frames and was told to come back for pickup. A few days later a blood vessel popped in my eye and I just thought I'd wait and see if it got better on its own, I went and picked up the glasses and the staff noticed it and let the on site doctor know, she quickly took a look at it just to make sure it wasn't anything huge and I got my glasses and left. Just the fact they were kind enough to check my eye despite not being my doctor or having an appointment was really great and I'd definitely recommend them! read more

I have been coming for 10 years and I am always looking forward coming here for my annual eye check up. Maria is an amazing person who makes me feel comfortble and welcomed. She has helped me choose my glasses. read more

This place is as good as it gets! I came here for my first exam in YEARS (yes, I was long overdue!) and I am so glad I did. The friendly staff here made me feel very welcomed. Dr Raina Cheung was so nice and funny and very informative; explaining all the tests they did on my eyes and what the results were. I was impressed by the technologies they had available to get a full spectrum of my eye health. What stands out more than anything was the team's friendliness and kindness to me. They made going to the eye doctor enjoyable and dare I say FUN! :) Thank you, Stein Optometric Center! read more

Thank you Claire! read more
