My family--my mom, my husband, my brother, and myself--all trust him completely with our vision. What sets Dr. Nakagawa apart is his genuine, deeply caring heart. From the moment you walk in, you feel an immediate sense of peace and ease. He never rushes; instead, he gives us his full time and attention, sharing a warmth that immediately settles your heart. He truly treats us just like family. We all love him, especially my mom, who always feels so safe and cared for in his hands. It is rare to find a doctor who combines such professional excellence with a truly humble, comforting spirit. We are so grateful for his dedication and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a gentle, thorough exam, and compassionate doctor.

The comprehensive tests and machines used are top notch. She does different tests than what my former optometrists have done. Dr. Choi is knowledgeable and is very compassionate in what she does, and she knows how to pick out a frame and color to match your face. She picked a frame for me, but I wanted to try a few others. I ended up getting the frame she picked out. She was able to cut lens for my old frames as well, which was awesome! This office is very clean and gorgeous, and it has a great selection of frames to choose from. I love the brands they carry here. When I visit, there's typically parking in the free parking lot.

I was forced to go to The HMO optician who did not have the state-of-the-art equipment that she uses and did not have the patience or the ability she has. I was told my eyes could only be corrected to 20/25. As a working photographer and cinematographer, that was not good news. Medicare be damned, I ask her for a second opinion. She was able to get me to 20/20 and I will be forever grateful! Go to the best, there is no other!

The progressive glasses he delivered offer a remarkable clarity, in both near and far vision. It's also been such a relief to experience the seamless transition between different focal distances. I no longer have to move my head around to find the right angle to see something, everything comes into focus instantly and without effort. Dr. Ashcraft took considerable time to understand my needs and preferences, and demonstrated knowledge, expertise, attention to detail and a firm commitment to finding the right glasses for me. It's clear that he is not just highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his patients' well-being and satisfaction. I am delighted to have discovered his practice, and absolutely recommend him should you be in need of expert eye care.

Dr Ashcraft really listened to my specific needs when prescribing my glasses ... took alot of time to make sure my needs were met and to get everything right . His staff is kind and thoughtful.

They also carry a large selection of frames at a variety of prices so when it came time to get new glasses, I was able to have a range of choices to fit my budget !

DANGEROUS MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE. THIS IS A UNCARING CORPORATE FACTORY POSING AS A SMALL LOCAL…read moreBUSINESS. Warning to the South Bay: This is NOT the local, caring optometry office it pretends to be. They are part of VSP Ventures, a massive corporate giant (Google it & see attached pic), and it shows. They treat patients like numbers on a spreadsheet, not humans and repeatedly got my eye exams wrong. The Negligence: For six years, they failed to diagnose a standard condition I've had since 2017. In July 2025, Dr. Lee removed my astigmatism correction entirely. When I explicitly told her I couldn't see and questioned the prescription, I was dismissed. A manager promised to call me back--no one ever did. The Result: I spent months driving with dangerous, blurry vision and wasted over $3,000 on 9 pairs of useless glasses because I thought better glasses would help me, but the problem was their incompetence. I finally went to a new independent doctor (Leaf Optometry), who immediately diagnosed the issue and confirmed Manhattan Beach Vision Group has been getting it wrong for years after looking over all my previous prescriptions. Do not trust your eyes to this factory. They care about volume, not accuracy. Go to a real local doctor who actually listens and cares.

Upon contacting them, I was able to quickly and easily make an appointment to be seen. Within a few minutes of speaking with the receptionist, I received an email with a link to complete the new patient forms. It was recommended to complete online to expedite my upcoming visit. Just like over the phone during my initial call, the staff was incredibly friendly, professional and efficient. Shortly after checking in, I was whisked away to begin the eye exam where I was helped by the optometrist's assistant Max, who was great! Next, I was seen by Dr. Pham, who completed the exam. She was super friendly and thorough. She was not rushed and took the time to answer my questions. Last, but certainly not least, I was then escorted to pick out and get fitted for glasses by Wendy. Not only was Wendy friendly and professional, but she was SO helpful in helping me understand my insurance benefits. Again, I was not rushed. In fact, she encouraged me to take my time, so that I could find the right pair of glasses. Plus, she went over all of the lens options, which was very helpful! All in all, it was an outstanding experience, which was executed by a very well-trained, friendly and professional staff. I highly recommend Manhattan Beach Vision group!
