After YEARS of my good friend recommending Hodes Vision (she's been with him for well over a decade), I finally found my chance to come see Dr. Hodes, and I was really impressed. Making an appointment was easy, and I took care of all of my paperwork in advance at home to minimize hanging around. The day of, the office called and said there had been a cancellation and since my schedule worked out, I went in early. Their instructions are super clear, and I was also able to email over additional test results from my ophthalmologist to add to my file. Dr Hodes was great - very personable and efficient, but also able to answer all of my questions thoroughly without making me feel at all rushed. I don't know if this is just technology I'm behind on, but Dr. Hodes uses a computer-controlled machine to check your eyes (don't know the technical term at all - it's the thing you're looking through as he say "which one is better - 1 or 2?" haha). I was honestly blown away by how efficient that made things (plus a bonus of being able to distance a bit more since it's Covid times, and all) - honestly, not even my fancy ophthalmologist has that. All of the staff at Hodes Vision was lovely, and knew their stuff, and I just had a really good experience. Really appreciate the care they took with everything from paperwork, insurance, to the exam. read more

Hodes Vision Optometry - "The better to see you with, my dear." - Optometrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

All the equipment is cutting-edge and the staff is so helpful. So grateful to have Dr. Hodes in the neighborhood. Plus, just got a great new pair of sunglasses! read more

Great doctor and I have nothing but good things to say about him but to get an appointment with them it is very difficult. So if you are able to work your way in and get an appointment, do it! I had to find another doctor that could accommodate me after going to him for many years. read more

It's unfortunate that I have to write this. Dr. Hodes has been nice to me. It's been 10 years I've been going here. I was sold a $350 pair of glasses. I noticed they would slip off me daily and they weren't working. I called and was told I was out of warranty which is for 1 year. I said I don't think that is true. They checked my file and indeed it had only been 5 months! So they said that a new pair of glasses would be ordered. They even had me in for a fitting 2 months ago. Since then they have used every excuse in the book with the latest being that it's on back order (this is after a problem with the lenses on pair one and then the frames broke on pair 2). When I asked if the glasses have been ordered and when I could expect it, and that I found this all very hard to believe. Ruby from their office told me I was not allowed back in the office and I've been discontinued. Awful customer service. I've been lied too and now banned. I've been a steady customer and I even got Lasik surgery through a recommendation from Dr. Hodes and still have to get glasses five years later... So I actually have been going here for about 5 years. I hate to write bad reviews but I need to say share the truth! UPDATE: I see the office has responded. I was NOT given courtesy contacts, I had to buy $200 worth of contacts since that was their minimum order. I had to buy these since it is difficult to wear these frames that are always falling off my face. I was told new frames would be ordered two months ago as I mentioned in the review... The second I asked to see a purchase order for the glasses I was told I was discontinued as a patient and banned from the store. At that point it was enough mistreatment, and I said keep the glasses and foul language was used. I can afford a new pair elsewhere and don't need to be treated poorly. Corey Hodes - you are providing a service to customers. I had read some previous negative reviews, mostly about your office staff, and was shocked... Now I get it. I see many likes on these negative reviews but non on the many 5 star reviews. Curious... Of course I will not make any assumptions less I be banned from yelp. I am very glad to take my business elsewhere. read more

Wow what an amazing first experience! It was my daughter's first eye exam and we were nervous at first but let me tell you, the girls ( staff ) and the doctor just made it seem like we were family. It felt so comfortable and my daughter loved it !! She even got a toy at the end of the visit read more

Awesome! Very attentive, and professional! I went there with no expectations, since I'd been to other optometrists, but was pleasantly surprised by a team, that was there to help me get results from the beginning of my appointment! Thankyou so much guys, see you soon! read more

Hodes Vision Optometry - Wall of styles... - Optometrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Loved the service I received from Ana fitting my Oliver Peoples to my face and her patience with ordering the Progressive / Transitional Lenses for them. I ordered the Varilux X series with Crizal coating. I can't believe the quality and no distortion throughout the range of vision across the transition from near to far. I watched how well and the caring Dr. Hodes provides to young kids and love that. read more

I felt considerably better about my advancing old-lady vision after seeing Dr. Hodes. I had a great experience here and Dr. Hodes and his entire staff are wonderfully helpful and friendly. I had a very thorough eye exam and the doctor explained everything in such detail that I really didn't have any questions left to ask. They were on time, it took as long as they said it would - about an hour - and they have a nice selection of frames to choose from. They also take VSP insurance which is a plus. Feel free to use me as a referral! For every 5 people you refer, you get a pair of sunglasses for free. Nice perk! There's actually parking on the residential street over from Pico for free - just avoid Thursday & Friday mornings from 9-11 for street sweeping. read more

Everyone was great and explained everything thoroughly. I couldn't have asked for a better eye exam!

Thank You all so much! Excellent service and a very safe environment during Covid- my new optician! Very professional. !! read more

Hodes Vision Optometry is stellar and incredible from the moment you walk into the office to the end of your optometry visit. The entire staff is friendly, courteous and thoughtful of your needs as a patient. I visited this office as a new patient and was amazed to find a wide array of availability to fit into my busy schedule. Dr. Arti Bhatt was pleasant, friendly, caring and knowledgeable through every step of my visit. She was kind and thoughtful in explaining my eye health thoroughly. Highly recommend to everyone and excited to visit next year to keep my eyes in top notch health! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Hodes for many many years and am so thankful for his and his office staff's compassion, kindness, honesty and happy nature. This office goes above and beyond in helping with my vision care. I trust Dr. Hodes with my vision care and always will. read more

Hodes Vision Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What I love about this office is not only how incredibly friendly and informed Dr. Hodes is, but the staff there as well. One of the girls at the front desk made recommendations to help mefigure out how to maximize my insurance coverage (since I could get either contacts or glasses) and handed me rebates for my contacts and contact solution. Under my coverage, I walked away with a 30% discount on some polarized Ray Bans and my contacts. Score! It was really easy to set up an appointment, and the actual appointment went very smoothly. I've been to offices where they'll schedule many people at the same time and you feel rushed during your appointment because the doctor has someone scheduled right after you. I didn't get that sense AT ALL here. There was one other patient being taken care of besides me, but Dr. Hodes still made sure to take his time and give me his undivided attention. I had to get my eyes dilated and this was the only part that was a little uncomfortable because it left my vision a little blurry for about 4 hours (not the fault of Hodes Optometry; just the nature of the procedure). If you have to get your eyes dilated during your appointment, I recommend bringing a pair of sunglasses (it feels incredibly bright when you walk outside!) and having a back-up driver in mind in case you can't drive home. I can't say enough about how great the people are at this office - both Dr. Hodes and the front desk staff. I'm so glad I found them through Yelp! p.s. There's a small parking lot in the back (off of Patricia); otherwise there's plenty of neighborhood parking as well. Closed Mondays. read more

Amazing experience at this place. Yayyyy finally an optometrist visit that was pleasant and made sense.

This was a great optometry in my experience. I went there for checkup and both the doctor and the customer assistants were great. Highly recommend! read more

I confirmed my appointment with the Frontdesk a week in advance. We confirmed all my insurance details, the same insurance I'd used on a prior visit. Then 10 minutes before my appointment starts, as I'm parking in their lot, I get a call to say that they don't accept my insurance and I'll have to pay $200! What a swindle! Such a shame because I had a great experience my previous visit. But this time round they dropped the ball on several counts and wasted a better half of my day. Not impressed. Not recommending. Update: quickly after posting my previous negative review I received a call from Dr. Hodes's office Manager, a woman by the name of Emelda. She apologized for the inconvenience of the cancelled appointment and invited me back in immediately to get my eyes examined as scheduled. And as a customer service gesture they were not going to charge me. I was thoroughly impressed by the speed with which they handled this matter. In the span of 30 minutes I went from disappointed, disgruntled former customer, to glowing, satisfied returned customer. And Dr. Hodes himself was gracious, professional and kind. I'm happy this has been resolved and I look forward to many more visits to Dr. Hodes. A top class organization who know how to keep their customers happy. Call them now!! read more

Our family has been with Hodes Vision for well over 5 years now and we always feel special the moment we walk in the office. Dr. Hodes, Dr. Byatt and all of the staff are stellar. The new office with its huge selection of glasses, state of the art equipment and COVID 19 safety procedures, makes a trip to the eye doctor high on the "yes" list. read more

This was by far the best optical experience that I've ever had. All of the women were friendly, helpful and very professional - a wonderful woman at the front desk tightened the screws on my glasses without me having to ask, and they now fit perfectly. Dr. Bhatt was extremely thorough and informative, and made me feel relaxed right off the bat. And Irma, made sure that all my optical needs were met - I can't thank them enough for taking care of me. read more

Never have I ever experienced such terrible customer service. I paid 319 dollars for lenses that are blurry when I look out through them. This is the second time they sent out the lenses and I was told that it would be the last time as well. Not once did one of the optometry clerks say if it's blurry perhaps the doctor should re-examine you. The only explanation I got was that my eyes need to adjust to the new lenses. I am beyond dissatisfied with the product they presented me with and the lack of customer service I received. I'm really disappointed because Hodes Vision Optometry set the bar for incredible service and products back in 2010. Sadly 10 years later this is no longer the case. In all honestly when it comes to something as important as your vision, the facility you choose should do their best to make sure you leave with perfect vision. read more

I would like to briefly state that making an appointment at this location is relatively easy. They have an online system where you can schedule an appointment and share your insurance provider information. I have worn glasses since the third grade and have seen various optometrists throughout my life. The optometrist I saw at this office was young, standard and professional. The rest of what I write is focused on the customer service provided. I ordered Acuvue soft contact lenses through this office, however, they did not provide any form of update on my order. I had to call their office after waiting three weeks for an update. Mind you, I made multiple attempts to call their office but every time I called no one picked up the phone. When I was able to speak to the front desk receptionist, I had to wait a while for them to get in contact with Acuvue to then call me to provide me an update on my order. This was a first for me since I have gotten at least a voicemail or text message giving me an update on my order, even if my order is taking a while. The second, which would be the biggest reason for the low review. I provided my driver's license to the front desk receptionist who requested to see a form of ID. I only have a driver's license, no regular California ID. I spent some time in their office looking through their selection of glasses and once I selected the pair I liked I left their office without realizing I never got my driver's license back, neither did the front desk. Between the time that I left their office and went to pick up my order. I never received a call from them stating they had my driver's license. I went crazy looking for it and ended up having to go to the DMV to get a new one, money and valuable time that didn't need to be spent. This is where I got the most upset, when I went to go pick up the glasses and contact lenses, I was handed a bag that had both items in it and my driver's license. I asked them why they never called me to let me know they had my driver's license and they STRAIGHT TO MY FACE LIED AND SAID WE DID TRY. I showed them my record of calls as proof that they didn't. The two front desk receptionists provided what sounded to me like a straight fake apology. I am usually a very patient and understanding individual, I have to since I also work with individuals in the healthcare industry, but this was just a sad experience. I hope this doesn't happen to another future client. Also, be advised, this location doesn't have on-site parking, only front meter parking. read more

Great place to get an eye exam! Definitely going to come back with my family and friends.

Amazing service and people! They are very responsive - either it be on email or phone. I ordered glasses through them, and I wanted to get my hands on them before my trip to NYC. I called them, and they followed up ASAP on what the status was for them. Long story short, I got my glasses in just in time! There is a small parking lot in the back, so I recommend looking for a spot there before using the meters at the front (they stop working at 4PM and apparently the street cops are WAY TOO ON THEIR ISH with these things). read more

Dr. and staff were pleasant, but the team sold me the worst $700 pair of spectacles ever.

Friendly, kind, and amazing! You are well taken care of on the phone, and in office. Dr. Hodes and his staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable every step of the way! read more

Hodes Vision Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had went for a routine eye appointment, the staff was INCREDIBLY friendly and helpful. They have all the latest technology for testing eye health. The doctor was very professional and nice extremely thorough. The place itself was beautiful and well kept, CLEAN, and highly sanitized. I seen them wipe Everything down as soon as I was done with it. The doctor was great with my 1 year old daughter her eye exam went smooth and they were extremely patient with her since she was a bit of a wiggle worm and made sure to do each test thoroughly even though she was wiggling around. Definitely will keep this as my annual spot for eye exams ! Thanks to Brenda & Rubi who are just fantastic. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now, and the staff here is awesome! They are very friendly and always make me feel comfortable. They're fast and efficient too! They have a great selection of glasses and sunglasses too, if you need any after your appointment. read more

Dr. Hodes is amazing! had my first appointment with him after a bad experience with another optometrist. He took time and listened to my questions and I did not feel rushed at all. I was made aware of many options I had for contact lenses and he gave the pro's and con's to different types. It's also great that he has perfect vision himself :) Past optometrists i had seen had very bad "coke bottle glass" lenses. The front desk staff was a bit scattered, and i had inconsistent information prior to arriving about what was covered by insurance and what was not, but had to pay after appointment. Might be good to check prior to seeing doctor about cost. I had confirmed via phone, but it was different after actual appointment. I'm glad i found a new doctor and plan to refer him to my co-workers. read more

A few years ago I was out of state and broke my glasses. It was late in the day where I was and although there were a couple of 'same day/one hour" eye-glasses places open, I didn't know my prescription and there wasn't a doctor available to give the exam. I called Hodes and they were kind enough to send my prescription to me so I could give it to the one-hour place and get some glasses. read more

I called my insurance to help me find a pediatric optometry for my 10 yr old son. I was given a couple names but they highly recommended Hodes Vision Optometry. I looked them up and thought to give them a try. When I called to make the appointment I wasn't expecting to get an appointment right away, but was told that they had an opening same day at 4:00pm, so I took the appointment, and was asked for the insurance info and they were able to tell me what was covered right there and then. As soon as I walked in the girls in the front were really nice and helped me right away. Dr Hodes came in to the room, very friendly, asked questions and started the exam and made my son feel very comfortable. My son picked out his glasses for the first time. My husband and I were really impressed with this office, couldn't of asked for a better place to go to. Thanks to Dr. Hodes and his staff. read more

excellent experience with both testing and getting glasses. everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. highly recommend.

Hodes Vision Optometry is a great place to go for an eye exam and glasses. I've been a patient of his for many years and get a very thorough eye exam. His office staff is very knowledge about all aspects of vision care and glasses. They are all really nice and go out of their way to help and make you happy to be there. They have a great selection of eye wear and offer substantial discounts. I would highly recommend Dr. Hodes for your next eye exam and glasses! read more

I had to spend a lot of my FSA, so I came here for some frames. They have a decent selection, and I got Calvin Klein and Ray Bans. They also have upscale brands as well. The doctor was very easy to talk to. I personally don't really need complicated lenses, but overall frame selection and customer service were pretty satisfactory. read more

What an amazing experience. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. From scheduling an appointment days before... to the family like environment they provide.

I would highly recommend you visit them for any optometry needs. You will not be disappointed read more
