Best Optometrist I've ever had. Dr. Hoff is kind, knows his stuff, has the best stuff to keep your eyes checked-up and he is ultra-thorough. I feel like my eyes are in safe hands with him :). He was able to identify a problem in my husband's eyes that hadn't been properly diagnosed his whole-life. I love Dr. Hoff, his sweet dog, and his attentive staff. The place is bright, clean, well decorated and ultra-inviting. read more

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Hoff. He's so nice, funny, and smart and is determined to help me have the best eyes ever. I highly recommend him to everybody I know and they end up becoming just as obsessed as I am with him. I'm currently strategizing on how to make him be my bff. read more

They have a pretty awesome collection of frames. Not to mention the only optometry that stocks Moscot and takes insurance. My only gripe is that their lenses are rather expensive.... read more

I am updating my rating because I recently went in with the glasses I had purchased there that had broken. The staff was quite friendly this time around--not only that, they fixed the glasses onsite, put in new pads (a bonus; I had not requested that). Bottom line: the glasses are like new, maybe even better than on the day I purchased them. There are still issues with parking; and hours of operation (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.), not the best. But when you own a pair of glasses for 3 years and they will still fix them like that, no questions asked--yeah, that's cool read more

Dr. Hoff is a great optometrist, with a great demeanor, in a great office, on a great street in a great city! My exam was extremely comprehensive and Dr. Hoff utilizes up-to-date technologies. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable! Marilyn did an excellent with making recommendations and explaining my options pertaining to choosing my lenses and frame. She answered all of my questions in an educated and professional manner. Hoff Optometry stocks many unique frames which have a classic and sophisticated feel. read more

My new obsession in town! Hoff''s carries exclusive Barton Perreira's a new brand by the ex-designer of Oliver Peoples. Moscot! The legendary family legacy that is still in business and kicking butt! As well as L.A. Eyeworks, Bevel specs, Cassius and vintage frames! Chk it out! TheStyleguyde read more

I'm on my second pair of lenses from the good advice of Dr Hoff. I came here to get my eyes tested in 2013. The eye health exam and sight test were very comprehensive and it was a good, relaxed experience - except the result was I needed glasses for the first time in my life. :) Dr. Hoff and Marilyn were really helpful in advising me on the type of lenses and frames to get based on my work, what I wanted etc, and what we decided would best suit has worked out fantastically after I adjusted to life with glasses. It did take a while to adjust. I have progressive lenses and I just had to stick it out for a couple of weeks of feeling a bit off kilter. I've since had a change in prescription which didn't go quite as straightforward and I felt one lens was not quite right for my eye. Dr. Hoff worked with me until it was perfect for me and everything's back to Hi-Definition viewing again. Marilyn went above and beyond to get the re-worked glasses to me despite my work taking me to the other side of the country for a few weeks. Thanks guys. You're the best. read more

Awesome spot. Not only is Dr. Hoff thorough and fantastic, the selection of eyewear here is immaculate, and the service, in general, is truly top notch. Marilyn, too, has been an absolute treasure- always helpful, always delightful- they'll have my business as long as their doors are open! read more

I visited Dr. Hoff today and was extremely happy I chose to see him as opposed to booking with Costco or my primary insurance location. Nothing against the other options, but I was able to book an appointment same day online. When I went in I was greeted by Dr. Hoff' assistant Marilyn, she is very sweet and knowledgeable. Dr. Hoff has outstanding equipment that he used to perform a comprehensive examination with. The exam was pain free, and Dr. Hoff made me aware of what he was doing and looking for every step of the way. On top of that he was great to talk to and down to Earth. After my exam, Marilyn explained my options for lenses. I felt no pressure to buy lenses, but was grateful for the time she took to help me find the right frame and fit for my face. I highly recommend spending the time and money to visit Dr. Hoff's office, where you are treated like an individual as opposed to be lined up for a cattle call. read more

They are thieves!!! Taking 60% commissions on contact lenses is unacceptable! Spoke with the doctor who was not nice and answered "this is what it costs me to run business"... I had a prescription so this guy did not even run business. For the respect of money and business don't go to this place even if the store looks nice. read more

Dr. Hoff is a lovely man, very professional, and the office has the latest equipment. Luis is so helpful. Their glasses are the best but there's no pressure to buy them if you go in for your annual exam. read more

Best eye doctor EVER. Hands Down. And let's not forget the ever amazing Marylin. She brings the meaning of customer service to a whole different level! This place is top notch. Dr. Hoff has been able to solve some of my eye issues that no one else has ever been able to figure out. I grew up going to Lens Crafters (slaps face) and Hoff Optometry makes the former feel like the Kmart or Payless of eye examinations. For years my prescription glasses would cause my excruciating headaches. Doctor after doctor blamed it on this and that, but Hoff was able to find the perfect prescription. He also discovered an allergy that was lurking on my eyes that made wearing contacts very uncomfortable. Hoff immediately have me a steroid prescriptions and changed the brand of my contacts, and now wearing contacts has never been so comfortable! For a while I thought that I would never be able to wear glasses do to the pain that it caused me, but Hoff made the impossible possible, and I am forever grateful! And I also want to point out that Hoff has the best breath. I know that to some this may seem like a weird thing to bring up. But I have been around countless doctors who talk directly in your face and have the WORST breath. I never understand it. It ruins the whole experience. But Hoff has the freshest breath lol. And I am forever grateful that he cares enough about his clients to maintain good hygiene. read more

Dr. Hoff and his staff are the best! I needed new contacts and he made the exam super easy and comfortable, much better than any other eye doctor experience I've ever had. What was so fun too was that he took the time to explain and show me things about my eyes - it was such a cool experience, and made me feel like I knew what was going on with my eye health. The office is sleek, and modern and his selection of frames is superb. Quality! I'm never going anywhere else. read more

The reviews have been spot-on with Dr. Hoff and his staff. What a wonderful experience I had a few weeks ago when I called to book an appointment and was fit right in. The actual appointment was great. Friendly staff, lovely setting and what a joy Dr. Hoff is to be around! He is fun, knowledgeable and caring. He gave the most thorough eye exam with all the latest technologies and he and the staff were incredible with sorting out my insurance questions. I couldn't have been more pleased nor can I say anything but wonderful things about my entire experience. I have found my local eye doc with Dr. Hoff and crew! read more

Great frame selection - pricier but definitely trendy/modern styles. Service is excellent. They are patient and listen to what you're looking for. They carry a good variety of sunglasses and glasses frames. Worth checking out! read more

Ehw!!!! This place has a bad customer service!! We walked in asking if they take walk ins and the guy upfront just said that they don't and he freakin just stared at us as if we are stupid dumb people who don't have appointments and telling us indirectly with his face reactions to leave now. Well at least ask us if we want to make an appointment. You think you're too cool to be infront of your computer and giving a bad customer service? Well you suck. I thought this place would be nice to get our eyes checked. Turned out NOT because of your employee. He's working on 07/06/15 at 12PM i shouldve got his name!! read more

Literally less than 5 seconds of walking in, we asked " Do you accept walk ins?" The receptionist said "No appointment only." We looked at each other in silence. Thinking to ourselves..Didn't want to offer to help make an appointment? Too busy doing what ever you are doing on our computer? So we said "Ok.." and walked out. Thanks for the pleasant welcome. read more

This is only the second time I've ever had my eye checked and what a wonderful overall experience it was. I was greeted by Dr. Hoff's adorable little dog, which for me was a lovely surprise. The office is lovely and spotless, I honesty can't say anything bad about my experience today. The woman that helped me really took her time and experience to guide me to pick the right frames for me. Looking forward to having my new glasses in eight days or less. read more

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this place! Dr. Hoff is fantastic, and the selection of frames the best I've seen in LA. I'd been shopping quite some time for a new pair of glasses, and ended up with a wonderful new set as well as an unbelievable pair of sunglasses today. I'm also amazed that he takes my crappy Blueview insurance, but he does! Bonus! Definitely a "well curated" boutique. read more

Both Dr. Hoff and the office manager Marilyn are great. It's a very relaxed atmosphere but clearly Dr. Hoff is an excellent at what he does. Everyone in the office has a great sense of humor and is easy to talk to. No Abbot Kinney snobbery here. My husband and I have been patients since we moved to LA and would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

He's the best, always thorough and always lovely to converse with; his staff are also nice and accommodating. Go early for your appt to find parking. read more

I recommend Dr Hoff as an excellent optometrist. Not all optometry exams are the same, there are good ones and less good ones. Dr Hoff was able to diagnose me as having a slight astigmatism as opposed to the nearsightedness that my previous optometrist had found. The result in this small adjustment to my prescription is that I can see with astonishing clarity. He was able to do this because from what I could tell, his equipment and training is state of the art. I found him to be highly professional, knowledgeable, and quite happy to explain any of questions. He is one of those people who are genuinely curious, who really wants to find the answers to things. On top of this, he is a very fun guy. For the extra $30 that his exam costs vs some of the budget ones that can be found, I would much rather get the best exam I can. My eyes say thank you to Dr Hoff. read more

Dr Hoff was by far the most thorough, knowledgeable, friendly and professional eye doctor I've ever been to. He uses the most current technology during the eye exams. After my visit he found that my current contact prescription was too strong, as well as my current glasses prescription. The new contacts he recommended are excellent and haven't bother me a bit. His exam prices were beyond reasonable and even better with my insurance plan. If you are looking for a new eye doc, don't look any further, Dr Hoff is the eye guy you should be going to! read more

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Hoff's! I have been going to Hoff's for two years. I decided to purchase new frames and get my prescription lenses crafted at Hoff's. It took two months, two attempts to fix the lenses, which came back from the lab TWICE with the wrong prescription AND three rounds of exams to determine my correct prescription. As an apology to acknowledge the fact that it should not have taken two months to get my prescription lenses done, Hoff's offered to put a rush order from the lab two times and both times it took 15 days which is more than their regular protocol, which is 7-10 days. They never updated me or followed up with me about not being able to get a rush order from the lab on time. I only got one verbal apology from Dr. Hoff after he did my third exam. This morning after I reached out to Dr. Hoff to complain about poor customer service he called me back and left a voice mail message on my phone saying, "I am not sure what you want from me", if you don't know why your patient/customer, after two months of patiently waiting to get their $700 glasses, is not satisfied and you do not know what to do about it then you deserve to lose a patient and to lose their business. I had decided to be patient and give Dr Hoff's business a chance to fix the problem because I wanted to be supportive of small businesses during this pandemic, but his response to my complaint this morning made me upset and I realized that he is a swindler. I am very disappointed. read more

Dr. Hoff is without question the best eye doc I've ever been to. His office is sleek and gorgeous, yet warm and inviting. He is a perfectionist at fitting contact lenses and his knowledge is unparalleled. He is very friendly, warm and just down right kind. 5stars all the way! read more

Very clean, nice store. Reception is helpful, pleasant and easy to work with. Dr. Hoff is a gem! He is great. So nice, personal & caring.

Best eye doctor ever. He took my insurance so exams are minimal cost and he has some cool technology in the office that makes it so you don't have to dilate your eyes during an annual exam. Also the eye wear in there is the BEST and can't be found anywhere else. Lastly, the staff and doctor are great to work with and very helpful and accommodating. read more

Great guy, knows his stuff. You can tell he's a perfectionist at least with his work, which is what you want in someone who is giving you an eye prescription. Gave me the best most exact prescription I've had in 20 years. Also, the place is clean and there is no pressure from Hoff or his able assistant to purchase a pair of frames from them. Recommending hoff is a no-brainer. read more

Dr.Hoff is great! Beautiful office and great sophisticated selection of glasses.

Dr. Hoff is the best! My wife and I both were in for eye exams and new glasses/lenses, and I can't say enough about how helpful and courteous they were. I had to go back several times to get the correct contact lenses that fit my eyes after testing a few. In the past I've had doctors try and push me off on something so they can be done with it. Not Dr. Hoff, he was there until the end to make sure everything worked out the way I wanted it. They have an awesome selection on eyewear and prices are extremely competitive as well. Great addition to Abbot, keep it up Dr. Hoff! read more

This is the second year in a row I've gone to Dr. Hoff for an eye exam and new glasses, and both times I walked away thrilled with the fit and perfection of my lenses and frames. Dr. Hoff is thorough and conscientious; I really get the sense that he works hard to zero in on the exact correction for each eye. And he's got a great personality that makes the whole experience fun. That goes double for his assistant, Marilyn, who has now helped me twice to pick glasses that look great on me. (And she fixed last year's glasses for free so I'd have a back up!) Highly recommend this place. read more

Very friendly and knowledgable staff. Dr. Hoff is super cool, and makes the experience a breeze. Incredible selection of stylish frames, and not the everyday brands you're used to. I'll be back again for sure!! read more

Dr. Hoff is awesome! I've been seeing him for a couple years, and every time I go it's totally hassle-free. Everyone is super nice, close to my house and there's a cute pup! I have high maintenance eyeballs (terrible eyesight and my eyes are literally allergic to contacts), and Dr. Hoff was the first person to figure out about my allergies and get me on dailies, which has totally changed my life. He makes sure I get home safe if I have to get my eyes dilated, and re-ordering contacts is a breeze. Highly recommended! read more

I've been going here for years and love this place. Great people and dog and excellent selection of frames. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I love Hoff Optometry! Dr. Hoff is amazing, the store is beautiful, and they sell incredible frames! I especially love the large selection of Barton Perreira and vintage! I would definitely recommend coming here for an eye exam or to pick up some new shades! read more

I've seen Dr. Hoff twice in the past 2 years - he is an excellent optometrist. Friendly staff and a very effusive but well behaved dog will attend you in the waiting room. My glasses were ready in less than 10 days both times. This is an office I expect to continue seeing as long as I am in the general area. Be forewarned: parking in this part of Venice is a huge hassle - especially Monday mornings and Tuesdays before 2pm. I usually park in a nearby neighborhood and walk over, which on Abbot Kinney Blvd. is a pleasant experience. read more

Hoff Optometry is a first rate outfit. I just bought a pair of glasses from them and I am super happy. The perscription check from Dr. Hoff is excellent, the customer service was fantastic--they worked with my vision plan to get me the best deal--and beyond that they are fair, fun and friendly. I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Hoff is definitely the best optometrist I've ever been to. I had been going to another doctor for years and, when the quality of my exams started declining, I found Dr. Hoff via Yelp. He was so thorough and relatively inexpensive (I don't have insurance) -- and yes, his dog is cute. My astigmatism is pretty bad and I had no idea that the contact lenses I had been using weren't covering my whole eye, but as soon as he gave me a different pair, I realized the problem. I have recommended him to all my friends and family. THE BEST. read more

wow, gorgeous store! knowledgeable staff, very friendly.

Dr. Hoff is everything you want in an Optometrist. He is very thorough and efficient with a wonderful warm easy manor. He has all the latest technology. You feel like you are in very good hands as soon as you meet him. I picked frames from another store ( I would not do that again) using my prescription from Dr. Hoff. The glasses that store made seemed distorted and were not right. I went back to Dr. Hoff and we retested my vision on 2 additional occasions to be sure we had the right prescription. He really wanted to be sure I had the correct prescription and that the eyeglass store made the appropriate lenses for me. Now my glasses are perfect. Dr. Hoff really cares about your vision and getting the correct glasses for you. I highly recommend Dr. Hoff. read more
