Had a painful eye abrasion becoming an ulcer. Got me in the same day, diagnosed and got me on the road to recovery. Dr. Stahl is awesome!

Services are always stellar! Rob is always phenomenal at his craft and an excellent practitioner.

There's always a parking spot waiting for me! Both doctors so friendly and provide great eye care! read more

Always a Lovely visit! Great Docs & great staff!! Within walking distance from my home & the Doc is always kind, knowledgeable & makes me feel very comfortable. The ladies up front are fantastic & the selection of frames is very nice & always updated/updating. Love it! read more

Amazing caring office. Always able to fit me in when I have an eye emergency. High standard of care. Clean and efficient. Super modern state of the art equipment. Kindest office EVER! read more

I've been going here ever since I've moved to the South Bay. The staff here is awesome. They provide great service and are accommodating. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Would recommend to anyone in the South Bay. They are near the corner of highland and manhattan beach and have a few parking spots on the side of the building. If there's no parking there try the neighborhood next or it or meter parking. ....... 4 years later and still my optometrist. Staff is amazing and easy to work with. read more

They were able to get me in within an hour for an eye emergency and the service was fantastic. The front desk is very easy going and are willing to work with insurance instead of worrying about any deductibles up front. I highly recommend this place out of convenience and service. read more

My family has put our eyes in the hands of Dr. Stahl for years. He's intelligent, caring, professional, and appropriately funny. He's your next eye doctor. read more

Last year I had an an emergency eye issue and they were available to help me. Excellent service.

BCO has been my optometrist for years -- both docs are thorough and compassionate and take the time to really explain any issues that come up and the options to address them. Highly recommend them! read more

Every year, I schedule my eye exams just to make sure everything is still working properly and it is! lol I've been seeing Dr Melendrez for many years now and he is great! Super friendly and chill and doesn't make me nervous when looking in my eyeballs. Office staff is always super friendly and helpful with any questions I may have. Although the office is located in Downtown Manhattan Beach , they do have off street parking which is the best! read more

I love this place! Dr. Stahl is nice and knowledgeable. Good selection of frames and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Extensive test of eye health. Doctor spends time examining and explaining every aspect. They have great frame options and handle ordering timely. read more

Dr. Stahl is absolutely brilliant. He was able to get one of my patients from a 20/100 to a 20/20 in custom contact lenses when the patient hadn't worn contact lenses for years. The patient had received incorrect prescriptions from other doctors, but Dr. Stahl found the perfect prescription the first time and the patient was even feeling so much more comfortable seeing his world in general. Dr. Stahl really is one of the best and I'm so happy I have him for my patients! read more

Dr. Stahl accurately diagnosed my vision and prescribed a conforming lense that works perfectly for reading a book, computer or papers on desk. I could not be happier with the accuracy of the lenses he prescribed. His office also hosts state of the art eye diagnostic equipment meant to prevent serious eye issues before they happen. The staff in the office is professional and can make glasses adjustments as needed. The three parking spots the office hosts and the inspiring LA Kings mural on the parking lot wall are an added bonus. I highly recommend! read more

First time here. 5/24. Thus far the process here has been extremely easy. Called for an appointment was greeted by the receptionist with delight over the phone. I was asked about the different days and and times available. Once my appointment and time were confirmed with the reception, I was reminded via text, email and a call. What a great way to have different reminders involved! Once I had my appointment I came in was greeted with a smile and got paperwork to fill up. The optometrist Dr Melendrez was amazing. Not only did I feel at home but I also was able to interact and have a nice chat about my eyes and my problems. And was able to issue suggestions on them on the fly. The exam was quick. Easy, and pain free. Top of the line/ state of the art equipment. Love it. And hope to continue coming here. Thanks! I definitely recommend. read more

Beach Cities Optometry - Pretty cozy, great reception area. - Optometrists Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Dr. Stahl comes with my highest recommendation! He is a very knowledgeable , caring & kind optometrist. I had the pleasure of being under his care for the last 6 months as we worked on getting my eye prescription just right. I appreciate that we slowly adjusted my prescription over the course of 4 visits. I looked forward to my follow ups because at each appointment I knew I could trust him to provide me with his valuable insight and expert opinion. The office staff (Grisel & Carol) is also wonderful - very professional, great customer service and always consistent in their follow up ! Ive had and continue to have an excellent patient care experience here and would not hesitate to recommend this practice ! If you're in need of an eye doctor in the Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, or the Southbay region of Los Angeles , look no further , than Beach Cities Optometry! read more

Easy to find parking since they have their own spots next to the building. Nice helpful employees. Great doctor (Dr. Stahl). State of the art equipment for eye tests. So glad to get a Saturday appointment. read more

Been going for over 20 years. Always good and friendly service. Very professional. Your eyes are in good hands!

After many years had passed since I had gone in for an eye exam, I just recently went to BCO for a check-up. Dr. Melendrez and his staff were awesome. They have incredible modern equipment that not only evaluates your sight, but does extensive investigation to the overall health and structure of your eyes. They explained everything they found in great detail. I highly recommend them! read more

I called inquiring about Lasik, and was told they offer free consultations. When I arrived for my appointment they said I was mis-quoted, and that it would cost $120. They also said that the Lasik procedure STARTS at $5,000. (Which is more than twice the average costs.) Thanks for making me rearrange my day and waste gas. STAY AWAY FROM BEACH CITIES! read more

I purchased a pair of beautiful frames and owned them for only 6 months before the leg broke off due to a faulty piece. I tried to use my 1 year warranty only to be informed that the frame supplier said they would not be ready for over a month. This was not something I could be flexible with because I am dependent on my glasses for work & driving. Dr. Stahl is a professional who took matters into his own hands. Within two days he had worked something out with the supplier and had my glasses ready that Monday. Doctor Stahl as well as Dr. Melendez showed me that they honor customer service by continuing to improve their relationship with clients and always trying to better their business. read more

I had a delightful experience at Beach Cities. They were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and invest in top technology.

Dr. Melendrez is awesome and very nice. He really cares about the health of your eyes and your comfort and is a pleasure to talk with. I was lucky to have been recommended this optometry by a co worker and have been coming here for the past 1 year for all my eye care needs. The rest of the staff is also very nice and great! I will continue to be a customer and give them my business for as long as i can. -J. Jain read more

My family and I have been going to Beach Cities Optometry for many years. Rob and his team are the best. Just look for the Kings mural on Highland Avenue and you've found them! A local treasure! read more

I have been a patient here my whole life (30+ years) and can't imagine ever going anywhere else. They have their own parking lot which is HUGE in Downtown Manhattan Beach, they are always willing to go out of their way for you, and always willing to adjust sunglasses or regular glasses when they get bent out of shape! (in fact, I didn't even know you could do that until they offered!) Dr. Volmer started this practice by treating everyone like they were family, and that feeling is still very much alive! This is THE Manhattan Beach optometrist, and is where all the locals have gone for decades! read more

Dr. Melendez is great. Our entire family goes here and has for years. Wouldn't consider going anywhere else. The staff is very welcoming and the equipment is state-of-the-art. read more

My usual Dr was booked up so I thought I'd try an available yrly exam and get 2 sets of new lenses only. I found my own frame on Internet and updated an old frame. The office wasn't outwardly unfriendly although one clerk switched the down payment from $200 to $250 when I returned and I called her on it and she reverted to the $200 partial payment. She didn't give me any receipt at end of initial visit so I asked her to write the total price of the 2 new sets of lenses down. I did look at new frames on their website which seemed cool. But I haven't seen a Gant shirt in 20 years and this was on of there premiere frame manufactures. When I tried a pair on the looked poorly made compared to my old French made Robert Marc's. I had insurance but their add on fees seemed hundreds of dollars more than my usual dr in culver city. I add thin lens and progressive but they were still out of line 600+ from me plus my insurance coverage! There's more. The lens was cut wrong on one pair and had to be redone. Both sets of lenses had strange white border that I asked to be removed so my glasses looked like they used to. Without asking me this office added $60 to my bill to remove the white look on edges of lenses. On one pair this didn't even look successful. Upon consideration what this office really needs is a warning from the better business bureau and a look at there permit by the city. Simply not giving paperwork listing costs is probably illegal. read more

Dr. Melendrez has been my Optometrist for about 9 years. He is kind, considerate and professional. The office has a relaxing waiting area with flat screen tv and complimentary Keurig coffee. Although there usually isn't a wait because they have always been on time with appointments. Office hours are conducive to most work schedules. Insurance billing has always been taken care of without a hitch and the selection of frames is adequate. Dr. Melendrez deals with a patient "on the level." There is no push to buy or pay for services other than is necessary. I would highly suggest this office for Optometry needs. read more

We were traveling and my husband scratched his cornea. We got an emergency appointment that morning and he was extremely well taken care of. Staff was very friendly and we got a prescription for eye drops and he was on the mend! Thank you!!! read more

Bad shopping experience! Clerk didn't give me any receipt/paperwork. Quoted deposit $50 more when I returned. One of 2 sets of lenses needed to be redone because of obviously sloppy cutting. They should have noticed and sent them back without embarrassing themselves. Strange white color around lenses. I asked that they be removed and they tacked $60 for polishing on my bill without asking. Their charges for everything were ridiculously high and dwarfed my insurance coverage. $600+ from me for 2 sets of lenses?! One last thing: you can browse their frames on line but the quality in reality is poor. Gant is a premiere designer here. I haven't seen this brands clothes anywhere for 25 years. Not exactly cutting edge. Whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I should have walked out after seeing the long-haired, disco-shirted Dr. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Stahl for 10+ years now, even though we have moved around a bit (from the beach, to the valley, and now to Orange County). The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable, Dr. Stahl is very personable and in genuinely interested in his patients, and they are always on time. We would NEVER go to anyone else, unless we moved out of state! read more

From the Staff to Dr Melendrez, I can't say enough about this office. Always friendly, professional and have appointments running on time. Always ready to answer any questions or concerns I may have with a smile. On site parking is a plus too! read more

The Beach Cities staff is always so friendly and professional. They have a nice clean office right in downtown Manhattan Beach and they always adjust my sunglasses for me! Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely loved this place the staff was very warm and welcoming. Dr.Stahl was extremely helpful and made me feel very comfortable. This is a cute neighborhood optometry that will make you feel at home and genuinely cared for. I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family :) read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Stahl's for over 15 years. Dr. Stahl is an excellent Dr. who is very attentive to his patients needs. The office gals are very nice, patient-centric, and personable. I picked up two pairs of glasses today that I had special ordered. Dr. Stahl went out of his way to order me the designer frames that I wanted,and when i picked them up the price was less than I had anticipated. I wear progressive lenses and am very picky about my frames and my lenses. I have gotten glasses from other places (big mistake) and the glasses were never right. I am so happy with my new frames! I highly recommend Dr. Stahl and Beach Cities Optometry. read more

I came here as a recommendation from my sister. The assistants were very friendly and welcoming. I really felt comfortable and I love the location. Will definitely go back for my next check up and a nice pair of sunglasses. :D read more

My experience coming to Beach Cities Optometry was enjoyable. They have great customer service and take care of their patients very well. Most definitely will be coming back to Beach Cities Optometry. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Rob Stahl since he opened the practice here many years ago. And, even before that I was a patient of Dr. Volmer for 25+ years! Dr. Rob and his staff are fantastic and are continuing the legacy of Dr. Vollmer. Newly remodeled office, high tech exam machines and a friendly Dr. and Staff. What more is there. I am very pleased. read more

We absolutely love Dr Melendrez our whole family goes here. Absolutely the best. Can't say enough good things about his staff and Dr Melendrez! read more
