I haven't gotten my vision checked in years, and made an appointment with Dr. Maanum after I found him on Yelp. He was covered by my vision insurance from work which was a huge plus - I only paid $20 for a co-pay for a vision exam. From the moment I walked in, both front office staff and the doctor himself were so warm and welcoming. I had to wait about 20 minutes before I was seen because there was someone else ahead of me, but I didn't mind; the front staff is professional and kind, and the office is clean, spacious, and welcoming. When I met Dr. Maanum, he really took the time to get to know me, and I felt like he truly cared about my health and well being. This has probably been the best experience I've had with any doctor, let alone optometrist. Really glad I found this practice and I will continue to be a patient here for years to come! Thanks to the rock star staff at Dr. Maanum's office, I know this is truly a top shelf place. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to establish a permanent eye doctor. read more

Simply the best experience with an optometrist, Dr. Maanum is efficient and experienced. He was able to fit my difficult eyes with the most comfortable lenses. I have great vision now and will never go to another optometrist. Also, all the office staff are professional and kind. read more

Every step of the appointment went so well. His staff are very knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. I appreciate their help in answering my questions and choosing eyewear. read more

Great staff, friendly doctor, ultra-modern equipment and a nice selection of frames. VSP-accepted. I'm very pleased with the glasses I got! Highly recommended. :) read more

Dr Maanum and his staff are professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. In all the years I have been going to eye Dr's, this was the best experience by far. You get the best of care and advice, and most of all they really care about you. you aren't just another number. I feel very fortunate to have found such an amazing Dr with equally amazing staff in such a big city. I was worried as I just recently relocated to Los Angeles and was worried about finding a great eye Dr. I will highly recommend Dr Maanum to anyone I know. read more

I was a former patient of Dr. Ishibashi's until the last time I showed up they were about two hours behind schedule and didn't even bother telling me. The only reason why I found out is because I heard that the person who was supposed to get in at 3 o'clock was asking at 4 o'clock what time they were finally going to get in. I then asked how many people were in front of me and she said she would get back to me so I asked again after about 10 minutes passed and she finally had to admit how behind they were. Coming to Dr. Maanum's office is amazing. The front desk girl Yazmin is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Maanum also has very good customer service. He took his time with me and answered all of my questions and even let me know that the contacts that I have been wearing for years actually came out with two or three different upgrades. I had no idea that those upgrades even existed and he wasn't trying to sell me at all but I agreed that I wanted to switch. Parking is not bad at all there's plenty of street parking and I am happily going to come back every year now. I love that this office is reliable and efficient. read more

Dr. Maanum and his superior staff have been meeting my optometry needs for over 15 years! I love them and greatly appreciate their consistent professionalism! I'm grateful for this office and all they provide to make my sight the best it can be! read more

Fair prices, honest people, and excellent care. Very pleased!

Impressed from start to finish! Friendly and helpful staff, convenient hours. Dr. Maanum was very welcoming and made me feel at ease immediately. He explained what he was doing and why, and helped me feel confident in the high level of care I was receiving. I cannot recommend Dr. Maanum strongly enough! read more

Dr. Maanum and his staff are excellent! My boyfriend and I have been coming here for maybe 3 years now. Jasmine, is one of the most friendly/funny staff members ever! She has put up with me making my BF try on every single pair of frames in their office, which is a lot since they have a huge selection. She always makes us feel welcome and is very knowledgeable about our insurance plans and the different contact/frame brands. She is bubbly/energetic and you can really tell that she loves being there. I just had an appointment a couple of days ago, and asked her when my BF's next appointment was. I was surprised that she remembered his last name without me telling her. This is definitely a neighborhood gem! Dr. Maanum is genuinely caring and very knowledgeable. His equipment is clean and very advanced. If you hate that air puffer shot into your eyes, then you need to go here because they have new equipment that eliminates that. He is current on the latest contact technology and will let you try out new kinds of contacts to suit your needs. He is very thorough in his exam and can easily answer all of my questions. Also, I always like to opt for the extra recommended photos to be taken of my eyes, which the doctor reviews with me to make sure my eyes are healthy. He and his office are tech savvy; files and patient history is all electronic. They are on FB and also send out occasional email tips/news. Making an appointment is also very easy. They mail a postcard and send an email reminder. Then if you change your appointment, you will also receive an email confirmation/reminder. We definitely recommend Dr. Maanum and his staff! -Tuyet & Dan read more

I needed an optometrist that was convenient (somewhat last minute) and close to work so I thought I would try Dr. Maanum given his reviews on Yelp. I was nervous relying on Yelp, but Dr. Maanum was very nice, thorough and gentle during my exam. His staff was also very helpful in scheduling my appointment and looking up my insurance information. Will definitely go back the next time I need a routine exam! read more

Had a wonderful time as always at Dr. Maanum! As someone who is often forgetful about when to book appointments I loved that they sent a postcard saying it had been a year since the last appointment and I also enjoyed that when I did book an appointment they texted me the information to confirm. Also, even though I was quite early for the appointment and had expected to wait, they were able to start the tests making everything very quick and efficient. As always they were nice and knowledgeable (not only about eyes but also dealing with insurance) and I will be back next year for my annual appointment! Thanks! read more

Dr. Maanum is a great eye doctor! He really cares about his patients. He and his staff are very friendly and helpful in every way!

Love this guy! You could not ask for a friendlier, more detail oriented doctor and office. I've spent years trying to find a good optometrist in LA and this is the guy. The office staff is very knowledgable about glasses and frames and insurance concerns and for a smaller office they have a pretty good selection of frames as well. read more

Top notch operation. I am waaaay squeemish about my eyes, and they were able to do the glaucoma test without me even noticing it. I was surprised and delighted. Then it was time to pick out a new set of frames. They had a wide selection and the team was so helpful to me in landing on a decision - and so patient with me going back and forth on my decision. It was like having personal shoppers - super fun! New optometrist for life! read more

Really helpful always and explains everything you need to know to keep your eyes healthy!

Always a great visit, I recommend this doctor to all my colleagues and friends. Highly competent doctor and staff. Easy to make appointments and pick up contact orders or have them shipped to you for free. read more

Dr Maanum offers an excellent service including a selection of the latest high-end fashion frames and the ability to have the lab engineer lens that work. I'm on my third pair of glasses and have been going there for years. This office is a little hard to find tucked into a small office block, but totally worth the visit. read more

Really terrific first impression of Dr. Maanum and his team today. They saw me promptly, were helpful with frame selection without being overbearing, and I walked out spending less on TWO pairs of glasses and exam than I had spent on my last trip to LensCrafters. I'll be back for sure! read more

Dr. Maanum is a caring professional optometrist who is very thorough in his exam, latest diagnostic equipment is used and he explains the findings clearly so the patient understands any given information. I recommend him highly. Also has great office staff. read more

We looked for an optometrist who would take our insurance plan and found Dr. Maanum whose office is located conveniently close to our home. Both Dr.Maanum and Jasmine are very professional and friendly. I had a very thorough eye exam and learned things abut my eyes, and eyes in general, that no one had ever explained before. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for an excellent optometrist, AND he has Saturday hours one Saturday a month. read more

Excellent, excellent optometrist with a staff to match his high standards. Dr. Maanum has been my optometrist since 2004 when Dr. Karasick retired & Dr. Maanum took over his practice. He has continued the outstanding work that his predecessor established, & gone beyond that. I can't say enough about the high quality of his work, as well as the efficiency & kindness of Yanti & Jasmine who run the office. read more

Very thorough and highly professional. I appreciate the fact that Dr. Maanum is also very knowledgeable and a leader in his optometry circle. Its a family run practice with a very skilled staff! Jasmine has been with Dr. Maanum for years and I can see why, she has always been professional and courteous to us every time my family visited. Dr. Maanum is the best! read more

Fast. Friendly. Easy. Small. Knowledgable. I was in and out in 50 minutes with exam and picking frames. Called and scheduled my appointment that day. Highly recommended read more

Dr. Maanum and his staff have been great to me over the many years. He is the best eye doctor and gives me a great deal on my contact lens and eye glasses. Thanks Again for your great service. read more

Loved this guy. His staff is also very friendly. Far more thorough than the Doctors I used back east. Seems like he's using the latest technology as well. I just went in for a yearly screening and went through a bunch of quick tests that were confidence inspiring. Really happy I found him. read more

Great doctor, friendly and professional. Great staff. Great office with the most modern equipment. Highly recommended.

I originally met Dr. Maanum when he was associated with the eye doctor I went to from the time I was eleven years old. Eventually Dr. Maanum took over the practice when my other doctor retired and I have been a patient of his for several years now. We're all busy these days and Dr. Maanum makes the process of having an eye examination go so smoothly, from the email appointment reminder and confirmation aspect to the appointment itself, that it's always a pleasure to see him and his staff. He has helped me find a type of contact lenses that are comfortable and that I can wear for hours on end and he has a great and very current selection of frames for those who need new glasses. I highly recommend Dr. Maanum if you're looking for a new eye doctor, new glasses or new contact lenses. . . he's great. read more

Dr. Maanum was fantastic. Very patient and spent a lot of time with me. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Maanum's exam was comprehensive; he identified the cause of my dry eyes which no one else had done previously. He answered my questions thoroughly and without reluctance. The staff was professional and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

This is my first optometrist experience after I moved to LA. Dr Maanum is soo professional n friendly and his staffs too. I had an appointment, however I was there at time but ohhhh gosh (my big mistake) I forgot my health insurance card owww n I told them. Then with no complaints n irritation they re - schedule my appointment which I really appreciate that. Finally I got my eye check up at second visit on same day n I must say Dr Maanum is the best. I'll b definitely back for my regular check up. N thank u v much for such a nice experience :D read more

I went to Dr. Maanum after reading all the great reviews online and on this website. He was in network with both of my insurances and did a great job. he was very calm and patient and was sure to ask me if I had any questions and explained everything to me and showed me all the pictures of my eyes and shared my results with me right there. I found easy free street parking across from the ralph's on beverwil across from his office. be aware that if you have your eyes dilated for the test that you won't be able to see ANYTHING clearly. I tried to go to ralph's to pick up some groceries but couldn't read my shopping list on my phone and was unable to even read the total price on the screen. It made me feel exactly what people with poor vision or blind people feel! wow. It was however safe for me to drive home (1 mile). It made me incredible tired as well. I ended up sleeping for 5 hours when I got home hahahaha. maybe it's just me that it had that effect on but be sure that if you have this procedure done, you most likely will not be able to do ANYTHING the rest of the day. I will definitely return here for my annual Davis Vision eye exam. read more

Now this Dr. and his staff are the perfect example of professionalism! I went to see Dr. Maanum for my eye exam and the service that was provided was great. The staff were polite, courteous and helpful. Dr. Maanum was very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend a visit to his office for any eye problems or just an annual exam. read more

When Dr. Maanum purchased my previous OD's practice I took a "wait-and-see" approach -- I'd seen my doctor for over 30 years, and having a practice change over is always a concern. Well, Dr. Maanum has now been my eye doctor for almost 4-5 years now, and I couldn't be happier. He is professional, personable, and - most important - really, really good at what he does. I'd recommend him to anyone without reservation. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Maanum's for about 7 years now. He may be the most thorough eye doctor I've ever seen (including Opthamologists). His staff is nice and treats people with respect and kindness (you don't feel like a number here). How much do I like Dr. Maanum? When we moved an hour away, I still make the drive to see him for my eye care. I won't trust my eyes to anyone else. read more

Dr. Maanum's fantastic staff was able to squeeze me in with out an appointment. Dr Maanum saw me almost immediately. This alone should describe how great this office is. read more

Thank you to Dr. Maanum and his staff for a great eye care visit. They were very accommodating to my schedule and budget within my insurance. I got new glasses and contacts, both were delivered very quickly. His staff stayed for some time after closing to help me figure out the best frames and gave me good advice. Recently changed my eye doctor and this was a great decision. read more

Great ophthalmologist with great personality and follow-up. Downfall, is he will send you monthly emails to come back.

I've been seeing Dr. Maanum for three years (I wear glasses and contact lenses) and can't say enough nice things about him. Friendly, warm -- you can tell he truly enjoys interacting with his patients. But most important, he is an incredibly knowledgeable eye doctor who offers top-notch care! The staff is lovely, as well. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Maanum for at least ten years and in all this time, I have consistently received the highest level of care. Dr. Maanum is truly an expert in his field. He and his staff are always friendly and ready to accommodate. Additionally, I am very impressed with Dr. Maanum's attention to technology as he has the most advanced medical equipment. I highly recommend Dr. Maanum. read more
