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. Rubi, Irma and Brenda were amazing helping me all at once. Dr Bhatt was amazing and friendly. The service here is second to none. True professionals and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend you visit them for any optometry needs. You will not be disappointed read more

Best optometrist in town! Very helpful and caring staff especially Irma. I went in for an eye exam and I was very pleased with my service. Irma was very professional helping me choose my new pair of glasses. I definitely recommend this office. read more

I really don't know how people leave so much good reviews for this place! My experience was so bad that I don't even know where to begin with, all I can say is that I canceled my appointment and left the office. read more

Dr. Hodes was wonderful. His office was so accommodating (they were able to fit all 5 family members in back to back)! The new office even has a dedicated kid room (which is awesome when you have 5 appointments and 3 kids). They even got us out of the office under our allotted time frame. Parking street side and free parking in the back! We drive (very) out of our way to see Dr. Hodes! read more

I love Dr Bhatt's approach to eye care and her staff is so awesome! They go above and beyond and I'm so relieved I found them. This office is proof that Covid doesn't need to hold you back in providing great quality. No matter when I call, they are patient and knowledgeable in what I am asking about not to mention reliable on follow up. It is refreshing because way too many businesses have been hiking prices because of Covid while blaming Covid for the reduced quality of their service. I highly recommend Dr. Bhatt and her team. read more

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

Very pleased with my service. The staff is professional, knowledgable, and very kind. The office is in my neighborhood also and I've been driving by this building for years without knowing about them. I appreciated the thorough assessment and efficient service. I will recommend to anyone who is looking for an optometrist. read more

We have been coming to Hodes for over 5 years for my young daughter. I love how accommodating they are with scheduling and have always been on-time with our appointments. They have a great selection of glasses and we have never had any issues with our prescriptions or service. I even continued to see them once our vision insurance changed and we had to pay out-of-pocket for the visits. Hodes is worth it! read more

Things were great during the exam and while I was selecting my glasses. I was pretty thrilled considering I loved my old place and really didn't want to switch. I purchased 2 pair. 1 regular and 1 sunglasses. The sunglasses seemed a bit off and made me feel a bit strange but the young lady who helped me warned me that there could be issues with the curvature on the frames. When I picked up the regular pair I had the same issue, when I asked the woman about it she said it was normal and that it should take 2 weeks to adjust. I was a bit disgruntled because she implied that I had not asked the right questions. She mentioned that many of her clients had the same issue and that they had been told the same thing. When I asked to speak to the doctor he became almost immediatly irritated with me asking if I wanted my prescription lowered. I told him I wanted the right glasses for my eyes but that from a customer service perspective he should let his clients know of possible side effects. He was so irritated with me, he wanted to know what I wanted him to do. An apology was all I was looking for, since I do not have a medical degree nor am I an optomotrist I did not know to ask about the side effects of an uneven perscription change. I wanted them to be aware that feeling woozy was not something that I knew to ask about and that perhaps other clients wouldn't know to ask either. Thier response was so defensive that is shocked me. I would say that is just not the way to treat a patient. read more

What is there to express that hasn't already been shared from the previous 117 5-star reviews? Because they're all true! Introducing 5-star review 118: Been going to Hodes Vision since 2005 (when they opened) for reading glasses. Dr Corey Hodes is the kindest & most caring medical specialist & Dr I've ever encountered. He spends time with you & is seriously interested in all his patients/customers. He is genuine and gives nothing but the best treatment. His entire staff follows his lead because they're all smiles, extremely friendly & always helpful. Ruby, who has been there for many years, seems to be the sweet leader of the pack...and it's obvious they all enjoy working there. Do yourself a favor and get yourself & eyesite to Hodes Vision because they're the best and you won't regret it. Trust me! read more

I've been going to Hodes Vision Optometry for the past three years. I left my old optometrist after they put "blur" drops in my eyes and sent me out front to pick new frames. Duh, all the frames looked blurry. Dr. Hodes and his staff are MUCH kinder and more thoughtful than that. Dr. Hodes did a wonderful job of explaining all the tests as he performed them. He did the explaining mostly because I wouldn't shut up and kept asking what were probably inane questions, but nonetheless he was patient with me and we got through it all. I have recommended Hodes Vision Optometry to my ex and taken my daughter in for her latest eye exam. read more

Please read the end. Started good. Ended not good. It was Good Friday and they were planning on closing at 5pm. When I called to ask, they offer to stay late for me. I arrived at 5:15 and the woman stayed with me and my two kids for an hour while her husband and child waiting in the car (I had no idea they are there). She was great with my 2 year old and gave us great feedback. She also gave a great advice on how to pick glasses for me. I would return there and will let everyone else I know that needs glasses to go there. We had to change my son subscription and went to children's optical in Monrovia. He asked how my son got his glasses and that they didn't fit well at all. He showed me the problem and asked of anyone ever measured the distance between the eyes. Which they didn't. They wanted but the machine didn't work and they said it doesn't matter. Bottom line, super nice but really bad for getting glasses for kids. For adults it's probably fine. read more

Dr. Hodes is great. It's a small office, but all of the office staff are friendly, courteous, and on top of things. I was a new client and check-in was a breeze. I was offered water three times during my visit, once by Dr. Hodes and the other two times by the office staff. The appointment did not feel rushed at all. I was asked more questions about my eye sight, activity level, etc. than any previous optometrist. I also didn't get a hard sell on Lasik, frames, or contacts - which was a nice change. I've been fortunate to have very good optometrists in the past, but Dr. Hodes took everything a step further - top notch equipment, great demeanor, rotated through many options, quiet office, lots of free samples, etc. Dr. Hodes deserves his great reviews. Although I wasn't in the market, they do have a nice selection of frames. It's not vast, but they offer a decent number of high-end popular brands. One tip, there's parking in the back if you need it - but if you have an afternoon appointment, beware of street parking in the front. I believe cars get towed starting at 4pm every weekday. Not a pleasant surprise if you come out of the office with your pupils dilated and those silly sunglasses on....looking for your car. read more

Thank you Rubi for saving my eye! My (now former) optometrist left me hanging today when one of the contact lenses they prescribed broke off in my eye. Desperate and unable to see, I called Hodes because it's right down the street. I called ahead and came in. I was seated right away, and Rubi proceeded to remove the broken lens gratis and gave me a complimentary lubricating wash for my now-bloodshot eye. I will DEFINITELY be back to make Hodes my regular optometrist! read more

Dr. Hodes is very professional, and takes his time with you! I've been going to him for the past 2 years, and he never fails to impress me! If you're looking for an eye doctor in W. LA, go to Dr. Hodes! Notes: They accept VSP insurance! Park on Patricia Ave! read more

Los Angeles is a tough place to find a good doctor, dentist, optometrist, etc. without a referral or a place to start. Sometimes it's a real crapshoot. I checked my vision plan for nearby places and Dr. Hodes was one of the closest, and the online reviews were good, so I made an appointment after going 6 years (!) since my last eye exam (yeah, I know, put it off way too long). I lived out of state when I last had my eyes checked, so I was flying blind. Man, did I luck out. I was able to get an appointment just a couple of days after I called, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Hodes was awesome- very cool demeanor, tells you what he's doing, willing to answer all questions and even just shoot the breeze a bit. The exam was quick and much easier than I thought- no air puffs or anything brutal. Out front, I was really sweating the selection of frames because I hadn't shopped for glasses in such a long time. Sarah helped walk me through some cool frames and we found a great pair that, with my insurance, didn't break my bank account. The whole thing ended up pretty affordable. When I picked up my glasses, they made sure everything was cool with them before I left. I dig my new specs and am already recommending Dr. Hodes to my friends. Honestly, I don't think you'll find a better place to go for your vision needs. read more

Decided to try out Dr. Hodes since it has a really good Yelp rating. He and his staff really hold up to the hype. First, the staff is very helpful, very friendly, and engaging. They really want you to have a nice experience and are patient while you shop around for glasses. They have a great selection also, which was a plus- a variety of styles, brands, and price range. Dr. Hodes is just as engaging as his staff. I felt really comfortable asking him questions about issues I've been having with my eyes. He's very informative about new technology in optometry, I even had an exam I've never had before involving two sets of dots. I definitely recommend this optometrist! read more

Dr.Hodes is the best eye doctor I have ever been to. He is a "real human being". I really feel like he cares about his patients, that's the impression I got from my visit atleast. During the eye exam he was professional yet friendly. He answered all of the questions that I had without stepping behind a podium and when it came time to pick out frames he even helped me get the most out of my insurance. On top of that, he even had his fiance help me pick out a pair of frames based on how smoking hot I looked in each. It's a family run business and you get that kind of feeling from the place yet it maintains it's professionalism. I told my roommate about how great this place was, about how all other eye exams I've had in the past at places like Lenscrafters and American Visions Centers seemed like a hoax in comparison. Karl went when he was due for an exam and he agreed completely and gave him the same praise. Dr.Hodes, we love you, man. read more

Currently Hodes Vision averages 5 stars after 136 reviews and I can definitely "see" why. I have been a patient at Hodes for more than several years now and I have not found a reason to find another optometrist. Dr. Hodes is kind, sincere, and very knowledgeable about his craft. His kindness and sincerity is carried down to his entire office staff. I come once a year for my eye exam and to reorder my contacts. His staff is very friendly and they do everything they can to make sure to save you as much money as possible (within the bounds of your insurance benefits) without sacrificing service. Both the Dr. and the staff answer any question you may have clearly and thoroughly. I would definitely recommend Hodes Vision for anyone looking for an eye doctor on the west side. read more

Dr. Hodes is amazing! I have been going here since 2005 and always find his service to be precise and friendly. His staff is helpful with deciding on eye glass shapes. They have a wide selection of frames. Parking is easy in then back or metered. The decor makes me feel relaxed and welcomed! A good find in LA!! read more

I went to this place based on the reviews. The basics: staff were friendly, doc was very nice and informative, the appointment making process and the apt itself was quick and easy. When you go here, you get the feeling that the staff is more about quality vs quantity. I didn't feel rushed to talk to the doctor and ask questions.......like I have felt at 'chain' eye doctors offices. read more

I found them on Yelp and the 5 stars was not a lie! Everyone here were simply amazing; very kind and helpful. I highly recommend them.

I loved having my eyes checked here! Dr. Hodes was extremely friendly and caring and also very respectful. He listened to what I was saying, and asked informed questions about my vision habits: how long I wear my contacts each day?; what kind of contacts I would like to try and why?, etc. He thought that it was a good idea for me to try some contacts that could be worn night and day, just because I told him that I would get headaches and sometimes even migraines at the end of the day after wearing regular contacts. He asked whether I would like to have my glasses done as well, and I said "no", because I could still wear my old glasses if I needed to and because I wear contacts most of the time. And he was cool with that. The staff there is also very caring! They mailed my prescription at home (Dr. Hodes was unavailable to sign it), and they were very helpful with sorting out the insurances, etc. This is a great place: everyone is very professional and they know what they're doing! read more

Dr. Hodes and his team are the best. It took me over four years in Los Angeles to find the right optometrist and I couldn't be happier. His entire team are very friendly, professional and kind. Dr. Hodes is a fantastic doctor and he and his team go above and beyond to make sure that you get the lenses/glasses that work for you. He also he takes the time to explain terms and answer questions. I recently needed an emergency appointment and his team worked quickly to fit me in for the day to get the care I needed. read more

Hodes Vision Optometry is a wonderful office with a great staff. Dr. Hodes is wonderful, his staff is very helpful and they have great frames to select from. I have bought both perscription eye glasses and sunglasses from them that I absolutely love! I highly suggest folks going to them. You will be very happy with the service and the office. read more

Love Hodes Vision Optometry. Great doctor and nice office. I never feel pressured to change my prescription just because... give them a try

Really friendly doctor and staff. And cute decor, =]. It was nice being offered water, too (twice). I also received a 50% discount on the contact lens fitting fee since the changes were minor, woot! While waiting for my eyes to dilate there was another patient who started asking the doctor about the "tall, gorgeous model" who used to work there (which is a rather idiotic and superficial thing to ask in front of the other female staff), but the doctor was tactful about not condoning his silly anecdotes about his friend wanting to ask her out and when she might return. Brownie points for being a conscientious doctor! read more

Was looking for a new optometrist as my prior just never updated his frame selection and I had gone thru all the options available. The consistent 5 star ratings were attractive. Dr Hodes' website was very helpful and provided links to all the frame brands he carries. Was able to research ahead of time the various brands and frames I liked. Got a weekend appointment which is perfect for my schedule (prior doctor wasn't open weekends). The optician staff were profession, helpful, and took all health/safety precautions. Dr Hodes was super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about frames. His equipment is up to date using modern technology that made the exam easier for me as a patient. Choosing frames the optician was helpful and even able to order a different color of one I liked. The 5 star reviews for Hodes' Vision are real. This is a great practice. Highly recommended. read more

Dr Bhatt was great! Very thorough and patient. Gave me all my options clearly and honesty. Very good experience. Office was clean and professional making my overall experience very confortable. read more

Can't say enough great things about this office. Hodes puts customers first. Or should I say clients, because once you go there you will have a long term relationship and this will be the last office you'll ever have to go to. You will feel like you're a part of his office and will continue to come back because of the level of service, attention and honesty. They're especially great with kids but I would recommend anyone to come to Hodes. It's truly worth it. I wish more businesses were like this today. They take the old school approach of treating clients like they'd want to be treated. It's not transactional. It's a relationship. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent place to get your eye glasses and eyes checked. Dr. Hodes is great and eye exam was done fast. Also Rubi and staff always do a super job and take care of you. read more

- Dr. Hodes is very thorough and helpful in coming up with optimal solutions for glasses and contacts for your individual needs. When I decided on a brand of contacts to try, he gave me a sample to try for a couple weeks and invited me to let him know if it didn't work out so that we could try something else. I really appreciated the flexibility and feeling like my feedback was welcomed. - He and his staff were so helpful in my multiple visits to bend my glasses just right (because I'm indecisive and have an annoyingly flat nasal bridge). - The staff are so accommodating, whether it be figuring out a time for me to pick up contacts (they'll also ship to your home for free, but it takes longer) or helping me figure out the most affordable product solution with my insurance, or taking time to give fashionable input on new glasses. - I know that customer service isn't the only thing we should judge healthcare providers on, but it's the most visible part of the experience and I want to commend Dr. Hodes' office on doing a great job. Medically speaking, he's always seemed very thorough and gave sound advice that is in line with what I've read and researched. Thanks and I'll see you next year for my next eye exam! read more

I found Dr. Hodes through Yelp since I just moved into town- what a success! The office/shop is welcoming and charming. The ladies at the front desk asked if I wanted tea/coffee/water as soon as I stepped in and rapidly checked me in. They also worked well with my out of state insurance (BCBS) at no hassle to me. I waited about 5 minutes before seeing Dr. Hodes (right on time!) with enough time to browse their selection of frames (very trendy I must say, with classics as well). Dr. Hodes was extremely patient with great chair side(?) manner. His technology is superb and he explained each portion of the exam. He also took some time to show me pictures of my optic nerves because I was curious. We also talked about his philanthropic work with Child Sight here in LA. I highly recommend Dr. Hodes and his delightful team. read more

This place is great. Saturday appointments for busy people, wide variety of services, very friendly, personable, and efficient staff. Takes most insurance I think. Parking in the rear, or easy street parking nearby. They carry TOMS frames, as well as most other popular brands (Anne Klein, Kate Spade, Valentino, Gucci). The only downfall is a somewhat limited selection of frames, though I did finally decide on a pair I liked. read more

Dr. Hodes is great and so is his staff. Definitely coming back. They have a great selection I highly recommend this office read more

Thank u Yelpers. I came in, helpful assistant. We were in & out in 15 min. Very nice selection of glasses. read more

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

See all

Dr. Hodes was extremely friendly, personal, and thorough with his examination. The facilities is one of the most technological advanced optometries I have been to. (No more puff of air in your eye for pressure test. Yah!) One can tell that the adaptation of the technology was not to be flashy, but to make exams easier for the patients, and to assist in getting the patient a more accurate and better diagnosis. At no time did I ever feel rushed by the doctor or the staff, even though they had a full schedule on the Saturday I was there. The office and its staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They provided my wife and I with great service and the charm and bedside manner you do not see much of nowadays at other doctor's office or service providers. We had an uncommon insurance carrier, and the staff worked with us to make sure we received all our benefits due to us. The turnaround time for my wife's new glass and my order of contacts were also extremely fast. I think it was just a little over a week, and that was because I took my sweet time to go in. The other reviews here are pretty accurate as well. I would definitely go back without hesitation. Doctor Hodes = A+ ; Staff = A+; Service = A+; Parking = B (What can I say, its Pico Blvd. - However, they do have a lot in the back I did not know about.) read more

Dr. Hodes is the man, I'm come up from the OC just to see him! He is very concerned about patient's health, he can even check to see if you have diabetes through your eyes with his new machine... Amazing! Also, he's an all round super nice guy! read more
