While on a high school senior trip from North Carolina, one of our students began having a great deal of pain with one of his eyes while walking on Santa Monica Pier. The pain continued to worsen, and the student needed immediate medical assistance. We called several eye care facilities in the local area, described our situation, and explained that we were on a tour and were from out of state. It was near the lunch break time for most facilities and we understood this, but the young man's eye was causing him great pain and he could not wait for another three hours to be seen. After calling several offices and being told that we would have to wait until 3:00pm or later to be seen, we found Sunny Optometry. Once they understood our situation, Dr. Kathleen Phan and her staff, had us immediately bring our student in, and he received immediate care. Within minutes, our student was seen, treated, and back with our group. Upon entering the facility, several employees met us, and could not have been more friendly and professional. Liz, Amy, and Genesis......thank you so much for your kindness and help! Dr. Kathleen Phan......you are the BOMB!!!! A wonderful doctor, with incredible kindness and concern for your patients. Dr. Phan made follow up calls to our student's parents in North Carolina to check on his progress THANK YOU !!!!! If I lived in the Santa Monica area....LIz, Amy, Genesis, and Dr. Phan would absolutely be the ones I would turn to for my personal eye care. Five stars isn't enough to adequately rate my view of this facility. Thanks again.....Steve Phillips, NC read more

What is with all the good reviews? I was getting better, (no, actually, great service compared to this one) at Costco optometry. And that is where I will be taking my business back since now on. Okay, first things first, and that would be 1st impression. Upon entering you are greeted by some older woman with no class asking "What's up?". No hello, how are you? Just what's up. Oh, Boy. Great, I'm thinking. Dr's assistant was extremely nice in a very fake way girl. I got an impression she was getting irritated by questions. So, after asking one, I didn't bother then. She probably thinks she knows better. Well, you never know who the client can turn out to be. The Dr himself, was okay, not too attentive, no explanations of the result of my exam: did my eyesight worsen or is it the same? He was pretty nice and spent some decent time with me, but since I have pretty bad eyesight and see doctors often, I have something to compare to, from same Costco optometry to some very well known Drs. I WANSN"T GIVEN my prescription for glasses/contacts and if the receptionist wouldn't have asked if I got one, I would have left without one. He then handed me copy of my prescription. I cant really call that a prescription AND DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. It only says my name and that my right eye is this, left is this. No Pupil distance, no DIA, nothing. I was given many prescriptions before and know what it suppose to look like. A 10 YEAR OLD WOULD HAVE WRITTEN A BETTER ONE. Good job DR. $265 out the window. Lucky me. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sunny Optometry, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff there is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home as soon as I walked in the door. Dr. Sun was an absolute delight to work with. Not only was she knowledgeable and professional, but she also took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all my questions thoroughly. Her expertise and caring demeanor truly made my eye exam a great experience. But what truly blew me away was their amazing glasses collection. I ended up choosing a pair of Lindberg glasses, and they are hands down the best I've ever had. The quality is top-notch, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Lastly, the fact that Sunny Optometry works well with insurance made the whole process even smoother. It's evident that they prioritize their patients' needs and convenience. Overall, I highly recommend Sunny Optometry to anyone in search of a fantastic eye care experience - they've certainly won me over! read more

Dr. Weintraub is the Eye Doctor of Your Dreams. Have been a patient for more than 10 years; a wonderful diagnostician, a man who really listens (!) and a person who takes the time you need (never do I feel rushed); He is smart, funny, and a great, engaged problem solver who follows the progress of your eyes, really investigating potential problems. I've gotten contact lenses, glasses, and recommendations and post-care for Lasix under his guidance. Like other people say, he has the best magazines of any doctor I have ever been to. (No hyperbole.) He has a wonderfully curious mind, and knows a lot about art and books. In other words, he has a big vision... read more

I recently came here for an eye exam. Dr. Weintraub is smart, polite, and low-key. He's also very knowledgeable---I liked it when he brought out a full-size eye model to talk to me about the nerve behind the eye. I also hate eyedrops, which has been a big problem with other optometrists over the years. Dr. Weintraub uses fast-acting drops that allowed me to go back to work in a few hours. My new prescription is working well and I think I found my new optometrist. read more

Dr. Sun and her associates at Sunny Optometry are all very professional, friendly and accommodating. Easily the best optometrist I've been to. She's efficient, knowledgeable, and kind. The whole team was very mindful of my needs and I will be coming here forever. I am expecting that once my new lens are ready, I will be seeing better than ever! I'm so excited about the new collections of frame they have this year! read more

Dr. Sun and her staff have provided excellent personal care and patient service under extremely difficult circumstances. They have continued to operate their practice seamlessly and will soon transition back to their original Santa Monica office location. I feel that I am receiving a very high level of eye care and that the staff do everything possible to accommodate my personal needs as well. read more

Its always such a pleasure to encounter professionals who are not only outstanding at what they do, but obviously love doing it. Dr. Sun and her staff make a doctor visit a delight, even through a pandemic and fire damage to their office during the protests. A rare find indeed. read more
