Professional, friendly, cost-effective optometrist. Been going here for years as have several family and friends. He is a bit old-school and does several things the same way he did years ago, including not accepting VSP. However, I soon realized VSP has nothing on this guy's insanely low prices. Bring in a prescription or have an exam done that day if he has time. Quick turn-around for quality glasses. The fact that it is a locally-owned business is another plus. read more

A curious place. Worth a visit, if only to experience what it's like to travel in a time machine back to what I imagine the 1950's must have been like. Dr. Harvey Leavitt is an older gentleman who seems to be the only one running the show here. All appointment making and information-taking is done slowly by pencil, and the place has the feel of a barbershop meets water-war era LA private eye office. After waiting five minutes while the doctor described a pair of glasses over the phone to a customer, there was an oddly direct line of questioning that honed in on where exactly I wanted to purchase my contact lenses. Online is where I told him I wanted to purchase them. So he said he wouldn't give me an eye exam. Because of "certain things consumers don't know" and "attorney" and grumble grumble. That was that, and he tore up the sheet that he been writing my information down on. So I left. It was an oddly unceremonious end to the exam before I could actually even make it into the old-timey-looking back exam room. Dr. Leavitt didn't seem to mind losing my low-margin business, and I was quite happy to get out of there and not have to follow through with what most certainly would have been an interesting eye exam. The guy is clearly marching to the beat of his own dusty drum, and the place seems weirdly outdated for modern life and invites equal parts bemusement and discomfort. And this is coming from someone who grew up in a backwater rural area full of these kinds of places. TL:DR If you're hoping to get a contact lens prescription so you can order them online, save yourself some time and go elsewhere. In fact, just go elsewhere in general. I would not be surprised to hear about this guy in the news at some point. read more

At the mention that I wanted to get a prescription so I could buy contact lenses online, the owner told me that I and people like me were stealing from him and that the internet was destroying the field of optometry. He said I and all the people at my university were unreliable because we would just get a prescription and then buy contacts online. He said that the last girl who came in asking for a prescription, he wanted to STRANGLE her and slap her. When I told him he was being rude, he said not to call him rude because when someone called him rude last, it really messed him up. For some reason I thought we could come to an agreement, so I let him keep saying these horrible things. Eventually I started crying, and he didn't acknowledge it. When I pointed to my face, and told him he had to live with the fact that he treated people like this, he said I needed to grow up and be a big girl. Don't go here unless you want to be emotionally abused. read more

Would give 0 stars if possible! Go there if you want your glasses to be ruined, not helped at all, the worst customer service you will ever experience or yelled at! If not stay far, far a way from that place!!! I went there yesterday to adjust my temples, he did so (for free!). So far so good. What I saw when I was at home was just horrible. He heated them up way to hot. The temples lost almost all their color, you can see a burn mark and one of them is loose in the frame now. So I went there again today to ask him if he could help me and first thing he does? Raises his voice and contest if I would accuse him for anything. Although I just asked for help. (If he really didn't knew about there would've been no reason for him to react that way!!) After him starting to argue and tell me that it's clearly my fault and he can't do anything about it if the glasses are old or just cheap (1year old and $400) I just walked of cause it was not worth a fight. Now I got a bigger problem than before and the one responsible for that won't help! I wish I would have any proof to sue him for the damages he made! NEVER EVER GO THERE! read more

Very old fashioned in every way. The big plusses are: kind personalized service by the proprietor, good selection of frames (though not high end), and INCREDIBLY good value. I love Dr. Levitt. read more
