I do like Beachside Optometry. Dr Arboleda saw me this time and took great care to listen and take good care in reassuring me about my eyes doing well since i was in for a Dilation and Diabetic eye heath exam. I do have a bone to pick with the Optical side of the practice. The office takes my VSP insurance. They have a method of showing you a retail price for your Glasses that will about stop your heart. It was well over $800. They then show you your payment after insurance. It was just under $400 dollars. Wow a 50% discount. Well if you take in to account I pay $60 per year and they let you get a full set of glasses every 2 years that sounds pretty good. Well at an On line source, Costco, and Sams/Walmart they will sell you a similar pair of glasses for From $220-$260. Oh and Yes VSP does have an affiliate program that if you submit your bill they will pay between $40 and $75. I was unable to get the exact amount with out buying glasses. When I brought this up to my Opticians assistant She was very patent with me Listened to my complaint and offered to give me a full refund on my glasses. I told her I would buy the glasses I ordered but I wanted my doctor to know how disappointed I was in the prices they were able to offer. I would hope with insurance they would be able to at least meet the before insurance pricing of the competition. I want to spend my money with my Dr. office but they are making it very hard to keep the purchase in their office. I think after the first of this year I will try buying a pair of glasses from Costco to do a direct comparison, to see if there is a Quality difference. My guess is, after talking to a few returning happy customers in the Costco booth I may be Happy. I got my $220 price for Progressive Light Polycarbonate coated lenses with Transition Gray tint in a square titanium frame, I bet, I will be happy with My 2nd pair for almost half the price my Dr.s office was able to supply. Time will tell. I do like this office and will return for my eye exams, but I am not sure that the prices for glasses they choose to offer are they best, Thank you for listening to my rant. read more

All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It's fast paced, both times I've visited I haven't had more than a 10 minute wait- and the doctor made me feel like family. I'd definitely recommend this optometrist to anyone. read more

From the first initial phone call, everyone I dealt with was very nice. Left my 3 appt choices online, they called back immediately and set me up for an afternoon appt. Glasses will be ready before my DMV test :) They are open late a couple of days a week and Saturdays too which is nice. Pleasant experience. read more

I have been coming here for three years now, and never had any problems. The staffs are friendly, well organize show room, and location is convent for my transit travel. read more

I'm so lucky to have found Beachside Optometry & Dr. Germundsen. Their staff was very helpful and and service was one extraordinary. They went above and beyond in helping me track down a pair of frames that I had been searching for. read more

I've been seeing "Dr. G" since I was little more than a rugrat. Simple math: that makes over 20-somthing years. Loyal? Yes! You have to hold on to the rare, but great healthcare professionals in your life! Dr. Germundsen is a truly caring man. I always feel comfortable, almost eager, to have my annual eye exam. He is patient, yet efficient, and always takes the time to explain and answer any questions. The office is very nice, new, and modern. The staff is exceptional. They're friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. They often remember things I've spoke of at my last appointment, a year prior! read more

My family has been coming here for 5 years! We absolutely love it. The customer service is always excellent and everyone is very friendly. Dr. Janay Sekhon is so sweet, caring, and does a very thorough exam. The technology is always up to date. They offer a good variety of glasses to select from. The turn around time to receive contacts and glasses is very quick. They are very knowledgeable regarding insurance coverage's and will assist you in receiving the best products for your coverage. Their office hours and location are very convenient. I would definitely recommend Beachside Optometry to anyone! read more

The staff and doctor are so friendly and professional. I didn't have to wait at all to be seen. I received some fantastic feedback from Dr. Kirk and Natalie was so patient and honest while she helped me pick out a pair of glasses. Thank you! read more

I am so impressed with the service I received here! Dr. Sekhon is so friendly and helpful! I will definitely be returning for future exams.

I have been dealing with a eye issue for the last year.....my right eye would get irritated red and watery on random occasions but would start when I woke up. It happened 5 different times with the last time this past weekend. Thought it was allergies, thought it was food or drinking..ect. Even went back to my allergist had new tests performed, and started allergy shot treatments.... Given this last episode lasted days where the other 4 were hours I felt I needed an eye Dr to see if there was something wrong. I found Beachside off of Yelp and figure I would try to get in as soon as possible. I called them on Presidents Day and figured it would be days till I get in but they were able to get me in the next morning at 8am. (yoohoo!) Well Dr. Germundsen was able to find some issues right away and was able to treat some of the fallout of those issues. This was one of better Dr visits on memory for me. He had me back two days later for follow up and again assessed progress. I am on the road to full recovery and hoping we isolated the cause of these random occurrences. Wish I would have went this route from the beginning but happy I was able to find Beachside after all. Definitely a great choice for eye care! Mike read more

The staff at Beachside Optometry are awesome! I will never go anywhere else. Thanks for the great service today!

My family has been patients here for 3 years now. It's the most high tech office I've ever experienced. The optomap is an awesome tool for monitoring my eyes for negative effects of my diabetes. Love all of the doctors and the staff is great! I highly recommend this office. read more

Dr.Janay was the best! She was so personable and explained things so they were easily understood. In my opinion the exam was VERY complete. I checked in with Yelp and received a retinal scan for free. Love this place and Dr. Janay and would recommend it to anyone. read more

Beachside Optometry is fantastic. The staff prepares well before your appointment to get you all the information you'll need in an efficient way. Outstanding customer service! I saw Dr. Sekhon and she was great, super friendly. I had to choose between glasses or contacts . I chose to try a 4 week trial for contacts for a fee before making my decision. First time contact-user so I'm glad they had this option. Went with the contacts and I'm very satisfied. Placed my order and waiting for them to arrive at home. read more

I have been coming here for years, since I was 12! Love this place. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. I always feel comfortable coming here. Love all their new technology they use to perform eye exams. Impressive! read more

I love this office. Everyone is friendly and Dr. Janay is amazing. She is so sweet and extremely funny. My experience was great. I highly recommend this office. read more

Amazing team of professionals. From front desk to the Doctors. Super patient, nice and extremely helpful. Thanks for the help Yoomie!

The place is great, I been going to optometrists for the last 10 years every six months without a proper diagnosis and finally Dr. Germundens gave me a diagniosis. My prescription keeps changing within months and every Doctor kept saying that it was stigmatism, but Dr. G gave me a diagnosis that makes a lot more sense, the name of the condition has a really hard name. read more

I walked in with my broken pair of glasses after a soccer match last night. My glasses were no longer in production. Josh found frames after looking for about 15 minutes that fit my current lenses so that I wouldn't have to go through the process being without vision insurance. He found a pair that fit perfectly and gave me a 20% discount on the frames. Beachside optometry is the place to go for your vision needs. I spent 30% of what I could have if he didn't take the time to help me out. This is the definition of customer service and I will recommend this place to everyone I know! read more

Just moved to Huntington Beach and found Beachside Optometry by researching on Yelp. Five star is right on! Professional, efficient, extra friendly. They totally went above and beyond when we were traveling and my daughter forgot her lenses. They shipped them for us and were so nice about it. The doctors are patient and caring. The lobby is clean and those who work the front are great. Huge selection of designer eyewear. Appointments are right on time - wouldn't take off points if they weren't but I've been there with all three of my children and we were called back right at scheduled time. Highly highly recommend!! read more

They have great customer service I like coming to this place. If you care for your eyes and are looking for a place were you'll be taken great care of come here to Beachside Optometry. :) read more

This is my second year doing business with Beachside Optometry and I absolutely love it!! Everyone here was super nice and attentive from the moment I walked through the door to the time I paid for the services I received. I saw Dr. Janay Sekhon who was absolutely amazing. They really pay attention to customer service here and everyone talks to you as if you're an old friend. I most definitely recommend this business, and will make sure I spread the word. This is an amazing place. Oh and I also want to mention that my appointment time was at 10:30 a.m. and I was back at home by 11:30 (even after stopping for some Yogurt Land :0) read more

Dr. Sekhon is wonderful! She is my favorite dr of all types of drs I've ever had. Incredible people skills but also very knowledgable and thorough. She never makes your appointment feel rushed, explains things in a very understandable way and seems to actually care about her patients and their lives. She is truly a breath of fresh air as a doctor. This is why I've been commuting to see her for the past four years even though I no longer live in the area. She is definitely worth it. read more

I'm finally coming to have my first check up. Pretty excited. My brother had a good check up and he said he really liked all of the staff. So I got excited. This place is so nice too. Like its beachy inside. read more

Wow! I don't have enough to say about this amazing place. As a first time patient, I can say that my care was incredible. Reception was so kind and informative, and the rest of the staff and doctor were equally, if not more, wonderful. They were all so attentive, and really worked to help me in anyway they could (I had to come back later that day as a result of some discomfort- which was in no way caused by anything they did) . They were beyond accommodating! And when I say accommodating, I mean that. It's not that they weren't busy, there were several patients/clients present, but the doctor and staff just understood and felt that I needed care. I would recommend this place to anyone! Thank you beachside! You guys are wonderful . Also- I only saw Dr. Germundsen, who was amazing. But I'm sure that anyone would be great!!! read more

Dr Janey Sekhoy is simply amazing !! I have had contacts before and glasses but she has made my eyesight 100X better with these new contacts. !!! read more

I have been going here for years now, however my last visit was exceptional! Dr. Janay Sekhon is amazing! I have truly never met an eye doctor so lively, fun and kind. This was my first visit with her and I will continue to go to her from now on! She is too sweet and you can just tell she enjoys her job and life in general! Truly a great visit! I recommend her to anyone and everyone! read more

Wearing glasses or contacts for the last 22 years I've been to my share of eye doctors over the years. I can honestly say that my experiences at beachside optometry have been some of the best. Dr. Germundsen is a great optometrist and makes eye exams as comfortable and easy going as they can be. He is super friendly, always takes the time to answer my questions and I enjoy small talk with him. I would definitely reccomend Beachside to anyone looking for a place where they will get all their vision needs met and enjoy friendly service from the eye doctors and the rest of the staff. read more

This is by far the best optometrist in the area and, in fact I drive an hour from Malibu to come see Dr. Germundson because he's the best in my area too! Professional, patient, personable and cutting-edge - Dr. G. Is the only one I trust with my baby-blues! read more

I enjoy going to Beachside optometry, they have excellent customer service. I have been going there for already three years. My doctor is Dr. Sekhon, I love her job and personality. Also the whole staf is always smiling and patient when it comes to choose a new glasses frame. read more

I needed to get my daughter, who is 8, in for an eye exam and I received an appointment on the same day! The staff and doctors were really wonderful and comforting. Even though it's not a pediatric office specifically they do treat children well and help with their nerves. My daughter did wonderfully during the exam and is looking forward to her first pair of glasses. Thank you for your patience and for treating us so well. read more

Very friendly and professional staff. The most modern equipment and excellent ambience for a doctors office. Really a great experience every time I'm there. And I love my glasses!! read more

I have been here once 3 years ago and had a great experience but my insurance changed so I had to change doctors. I realized today I had a huge chunk of money on my flexible spending account that ihad to spend by the end of the year. I remembered what great frames they had here so I went in that to hopefully spend my money. They were pretty busy so I just looked around by myself for a little while. Then one of the girls was available Yoomie. (I hope I got that right) she was awesome! She was so patient with me helping me get to my exact dollar amount. Most people would've been annoyed. I'm so excited to get my new frames! Thank you so much for all your help Yoomie! read more

Fabulous experience for my whole family. Every person in this office has been a pleasure. Super friendly, super accommodating, and very informative. Happy I chose them as our family optometrist. read more

Have been coming here since it opened this office and have been seeing Dr Germundsen for over 15 yrs! Their staff is always helpful and friendly. I now bring all my kids here and they love seeing Dr G and his office. read more

Beachside Optometry is amazing. I went here after having trouble seeing the white board in nursing school. I work with many medical professionals and was so impressed by how professional everyone was that works here. Everything went super smoothly from scheduling my appointment to picking up my glasses. I saw Dr. Arboleda who was really friendly and actually listened to my concerns. She explained what was going on with my vision and didn't make me feel rushed. Dr. Arboleda even took the time to help me pick out the perfect pair of glasses. I especially recommend this place to all of my fashion forward people . They have an amazing selection of designer frames including: Dior, Prada, Versace, Coach, Chloe, Ray-Ban's, Oakley. They also had a awesome selection of sunglasses and I plan on returning to snag a pair of Chloe sunglasses. I would absolutely recommend this place to any college student. Their staff will work with your schedule to get you in and take care of all of your eyecare needs. Thank you Beachside! read more
