Dr. Lori is amazing! I love the good vibes in this office. The staff is great too! I always feel welcomed.

Very disappointing experience. The older front desk lady with red hair was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful during my visit. She spoke to me in a rude and condescending tone, raised her voice at me, pointed her finger at me, and made the entire interaction uncomfortable and upsetting. What makes this worse is that I spent money on glasses that I cannot properly utilize and was never clearly informed about my options beforehand. Customer service and communication were handled very poorly. I will not be returning and would not recommend this clinic based on how patients are treated. Muy mala experiencia. La señora mayor de recepción con cabello rojo fue extremadamente grosera y poco profesional durante mi visita. Me habló de manera irrespetuosa y condescendiente, me levantó la voz y me señaló con el dedo, haciendo toda la situación muy incómoda y molesta. Lo peor es que gasté dinero en unos lentes que no puedo utilizar correctamente y nunca me explicaron bien mis opciones desde el principio. El servicio al cliente y la comunicación fueron muy malos. No regresaré y no recomendaría esta clínica por la manera en que tratan a los pacientes. read more

I have been going to this office for over 5 years now and am so happy I found them! My husband and mom are also their clients. Dr. Lorrie and her staff always go above and beyond. Most importantly, Dr. Lorrie is very honest and detailed in her work. I trust her care and advice with any concerns that arise. The office staff is always friendly and professional. Although we have moved from the area, we have not changed optometrist because we appreciate their work. I highly recommend them. read more

Great place to get eye examinations. Doctor is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Staff is really nice, there's also a small shop if you need new frames, they have been super helpful with repairs and lenses replacements at a reasonable price. read more

I have been a patient since 2006 and from 1st day, dr Lorrie Kook always treated me like family brother. The care for the patients she has it, it's really great and there is no words to describe her care for her patients. I have a cornea damage and I need really good hard contacts lenses to be able to see anything and Dr Kook was the only doctor that was able to get my hard contact lenses fit and make me be able to see it today. She is great ! I definitely recommend to my family, friend and everyone. Thank you always dr Lorie Kook & everyone at Olympic Optometric Center. Samuel Park read more

I've been coming here since 2018 for myself. And now I brought my family. My daughter has special needs and she needs a lot of patience and Dr.Cook was amazing. Her staff as well. I will continue to come here. I totally recommended her. read more

Very condescending in attempting to schedule a meeting. Receptionist needs to work on professionalism. Hope she gets training in how to handle stress and interact with customers. read more

First visit just happened. From what I noticed, they follow safety precautions by wearing masks and sanitizing yours and their hands in between patients. We had to look for a new spot since we moved in the area. Picked them due to the reviews. I enjoyed our visit. Dr. Kook is professional and easy to talk to. read more

THE BEST OPTOMETRIST IN THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE!! Dr. Kook is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I have been a patient of hers for many years, her passion for excellence is very noticeable. Highly recommend. read more

Spent $500 on Fendi prescription glasses that they fitted me for and the arms of the glasses are for a child's head, it doesn't go over my ears, since I do not wear my glasses everyday, only when do distant driving which is rarely, got the glasses in Jan and it's now Nov I notice the problem, I called them to see if they can fix it and they said nothing they can do because it's 10 months later. This is bullshit because for the price I paid they should have at least a year warranty period, fuck this place and do not go there because they will not try to help u, to me it's their fault as professionals and experts to notice the damn arms are way to short it doesn't go over my ears, poor customer service, waste of my money and time. My advice don't waste yours either. Cheap bastards read more

Olympic Optometric Center - Poorly proscribed glasses, the handles to short, if they were expects they would notice that, I'm not the expert they are - Optometrists Near Me - Paramount, California

I started seeing Dr. Kook back in the early to mid 2000s, when she had her office in Koreatown. She and her staff were always top-notch, very friendly, and super knowledgeable. Even after I moved to Ventura County, I still made the trip to her office in K-town for many years because Dr. Kook is just that good! I have terrible vision and do need expert care. When Dr. Kook had to move her practice to Paramount a couple of years ago due to the building where she had her office in K-town being demolished, I regretfully told her that I couldn't continue to see her, because the drive was just too much from Ventura County. She personally wrote me the sweetest email about our history together and said that she understood, and wished me the best. Well, after two years of seeing a highly-recommended optometrist in my current town, I finally realized that no one measures up to Dr. Kook! My last optometrist just could not get my glasses prescription right, seemed baffled every time he examined me, and even freaked me out and sent me (unnecessarily) to a retinal specialist, who wondered out loud while he was examining me why I was referred to him, because nothing was wrong with my retinas. Glad I have good insurance. Cue my call to Dr. Kook's office in Paramount, which offers convenient Saturday appointments, so even if you live more than 50 miles away, as I do, you can still get there in a reasonable amount of time and not have to fight weekday traffic. When I arrived, Anna at the front desk greeted me like an old friend and told me how good it was to see me. She got me all set up, and then as I was having my tests done with another technician, Dr. Kook came in and greeted me with a big hug and said how glad she was that I was there. I almost cried, seriously, because I knew I was back in good hands again, and that she was the one who would be able to sort out my contact lens and glasses prescriptions. Dr. Kook and her staff spent a great deal of time with me to identify what the best solution for me, and made sure that I was completely satisfied. They even arranged to ship my contacts and glasses to me so I wouldn't have to make another trip to their office to pick them up. While I was there, I learned that patients from Palmdale, Santa Clarita, and other distant towns make the trip to Paramount to see Dr. Kook. There was even a patient from Fresno (!) there on Saturday. Dr. Kook and her staff are incredible, and it's no wonder that just like me, these other patients tried other optometrists when Dr. Kook left K-town, but they all eventually came back to her. I will never again make the mistake of seeing another optometrist as Dr. Kook and her staff are simply incredible. read more

The best Op. We have had. I felt like My actual eye health was important to her. Explained in detail our Daughters eye issues. Real comfortable place. read more

My insurance switched to VSP and I found this gem in koreatown. I walked on in weekday couldn't get an appt. But the girl was v helpful printed out my insurance and helped me find the perfect pair of Tory Burch frames. Pros: -They had wide frame selections which is huge deal for me. Armani, D&G, Tiffanys, Lacoste etc - customer service excellent. She was knowledgable took out my insurance info and educated me on what was covered and what would cost extra. - no hard sell - My exam with Dr Kook was efficient and thorough. First person to eval my tear ducts and commented on it. Also took pics for me to see on comp how clogged they were. - speaks English well - Free parking in big lot Cons - Can't get walk in eye exam - Wait for frames is 7-10 business days so not same day like at LensCrafters - when using equipment doesn't look like the wipe it down before you put your chin on it Would definitely come back again and again. Highly recommend this place read more

See all

Fabulous staff!! All are so knowledgeable and warm. They seriously have the best customer service in Paramount! I have purchased at least 7 pairs of frames from them and will continue to do so! read more

My favorite eye doctor. I've been going for a couple years now. Dr. Kook and her staff are very friendly! Glasses are reasonably priced, they don't try to up-sell, and the exams are quick, accurate, and pleasant. I've gone to many eye doctors over the years, and this one will keep getting my business. They definitely speak Korean as well (signs are also in Korean and many patients seem to speak it as well), though I don't so that doesn't matter to me personally. read more

This is my favorite eye doctor. Everyone in the office is friendly and super nice. Thank you for my new pair of eye glasses. read more

Olympic Optometric Center - Love this place. - Optometrists Near Me - Paramount, California

Excellent customer service. Optometrist takes time to explain and answer all your questions. She is amazing! I recommend this place if you need to get your eyes checked. read more

My first eye doctor experience. Dr. Look was great. Service was fast. Best of all, not along wait time.

My family has been going here for 3 years. The staff has always been friendly and professional. Dr. Kook is amazing and she is very committed to addressing any eye concerns you may have. read more

My husband and I went to Dr. Kook when her office was in Koreatown and we lived very close. When she moved we started seeing other doctors but after a couple of years we decided going to see her was worth the trip so now we are back and happy. She is the best and her staff too!! read more

I've been going to Olympic Optometry since I first went blind in the second grade, I am now 29 years old. Dr. Kook is great and I'm so sad I cheating on her with Target Optical but never again! Olympic Optometry is where it's at! read more

Dr. Kook and her staff are amazing. Very friendly.

My family has been coming here for years & we wouldn't go anywhere else! As a person who's been wearing glasses ever since elementary school and working in an environment with a lot of dust (I am in fashion!), it is very important for me to have a place I can rely on for my eyes. Dr. Lorie Kook & the staffs are all amazing! I love that they really care for you, remember you, and really want the best for you! They are also always very friendly! Dr. Kook is the best. She makes you feel super comfortable to the point that I actually feel relaxed in the room! As a contact wearer, I usually order 1yr worth of contact lenses & they always take care of the rebates so you don't have to do it yourself! They also give you boxes of mini contact solutions which actually last a long time & comes in very handy when you travel. I highly recommend Olympic Optometric Center! read more

I've been coming here since I can remember. Being as blind as I am, I'd like to have a consistent place to go to. Dr.Kook and her staff are amazing! Super friendly and makes you feel very comfortable being there. Even when I lived in SD, I made the trip up north to come here whenever I had problems with my glasses or contacts. Small place but easy to find since it's right on the corner and free parking! read more

I have been going to see Dr. Kook for the last 15 years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I live in NYC now but I go back a couple times a year and always make sure to get my eyes checked while I'm in L.A. Dr. Kook is very knowledgeable but she is also super nice and takes her time. I never feel like she's rushing to get through the examination and is very thorough. Has great bed side manners and makes you feel very comfortable. read more

Took my older son here was recommended by his doctor and the best choice front desk very polite and helpful. Doctor very nice and did all test necessary and very helpful so glad we went here. Taking my other son here soon. Small place but highly recommended... very professional and caring.... read more

First time going there the ladies are Korean and they have great customer service and I got some MCM glasses for $260 read more

So it was time for any annual eye exam and decided to switch eye doctor closer to where I live. I can honestly say Dr. Kook was worth having my exam with. She is very professional and the the same time friendly and nice. She talks to you as a person and not just a patient. I had a thorough eye exam as I never had with my previous eye doctor. Here they don't make you feel like a number that spend only 10 minutes with you, they actually take they time. I was so pleased with her and staff, they are amazing. I am happy with them, and will only come here from now on. read more

The staff was amazing, they were careful, helpful and clean about everything. The doctor was such a delight. Nice and very understanding. The staff overall was top notch. I can't recommend this place anymore. Only issue I have so far is how long it takes to get your glasses. I need them obviously and I'm here dealing life without them but overall great place. read more

Very quick and affordable eye care-I had an exam, new lenses for my glasses and sunglasses, and three months of contacts for less than the price of a single pair of glasses elsewhere. Dr Kook was very thorough, although my prescription didn't change she gave me a few tips to help avoid dry eye. Highly recommended. read more

It was my children's first time visiting this office. It was my 5 year old first time ever at an optometrist. She was a bit nervous but did so well thanks to Dr. Kook. She has many eye chart options for young children. She is really great with kids. Check in was quick and simple and didn't have to wait too long. Any parent looking for an optometrist for their children or even themselves, I'd totally recommend Dr. Kook read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kook for over a decade. I followed her from LA to Paramount. She is very professional and answers all my questions and concerns. Her office and staff is clean and made me feel comfortable and safe. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great Op. read more

Dr. Kook and her staff have to be the friendliest people I've met so far, in these neck of the woods. I moved from highland park and I needed to get my annual check up as it was overdue. My appointment was easy to make over the phone and I was greeted right away when I walked in. Dr. Kook was so detailed about my eyesight change and what I could do to continue to protect my eyes. I've never had an eye doctor be so nice and thourough with my eyes. She is highly recommended on my end. read more

First time patient and it was a great experience and will definitely recommend to others. Customer service great and Dr. Kook was professional, friendly and very thorough. Fantastic FIVE STAR service.. only downside is parking . Try to schedule an early appt lol!! read more

I've been coming here ever since I needed eye check ups+glasses. I have never had a problem with their services throughout all these years. Dr.Kook and Anna are just very amazing and never fail to exceed expectations. They remember you by your names and create a very friendly environment for their clients. They actually care about you and are not just after your money like many doctors are. I honestly have gone to other optometrists and that made me realize even more of how organized and clean this optometrist's facility is. Compared to other optometrists I have been to, their process of exams are very well-structured and comfortable for their clients. I could really see that they have put in extra efforts for full satistifaction of their clients. +Dr.Kook is very knowledgeable and always recommends what is best for you, but never beyond necessity. This way, you can save your buck and have the best options for you at the same time. Even though they have moved to a further location (Paramount) from Ktown, my family and I continue to go through that long drive to go here. This is how much we love their services. I have never left here angry or even unsatisfied. Always a happy and satisfied client when I leave. Thank you for your amazing services! We will be seeing you guys soon again. read more

I feel like a lot of optometrist places are run like a factory. They just push all these tests at you and then do a quick eye check, push the glasses/contacts at you and then you're done. I was recommended to her from a coworker who really liked Dr Kook, so I thought I should give her a shot. It couldn't be worse than my previous eye doctors. My contact lenses were running out and I wanted to get more but I needed a new prescription first. I called on a Saturday to make an appointment since they were actually open on Saturday. Normally you figure good places would be book for on Saturdays, so when she asked "when would you like to come in"? I jokingly asked if there was any openings today and the receptionist actually said yes! They just had a cancellation so I was very lucky. They seemed to be following covid protocols too since she asked that I only come up to the office at a specific time. They had just recently moved their office, so the receptionist was very specific on where I should park and how to get to the office. On Saturdays the front facing doors are locked. When I first entered the office, it seemed kinda small, so it made sense that they asked me not to come up to the office until the time she said. The exams started out like the other optometrist factories. :(. Fill out form, proceed to these machines to test you, but then came the Dr to examine my eyes. I felt like Dr Kook actually cared about my eyes. She seemed very factual and even took the time to take pictures of what she saw and showed them to me. To help me remember what she saw and diagnosed, she took a picture of a website with my phone! It was very strange to me when she first asked me for my phone. I was like what the heck? I guess I must have had a puzzled look on my face because she said to take a picture for you. I also liked how she double checked things for me about my vision that was odd. Apparently my old glasses were very poorly made. They have progressive lenses, and she asked if I could really read with them or not. I said it is difficult, so I usually don't use them. She knew it even before I said it. I remember my old eye doctor said I would get used to them but I never did. I also never remembered anyone taking out or putting in my contact lenses, but she did it so fast and easily I didn't even notice! She's definitely very experienced. I do remember in the past an eye doctor said my eye lashes point straight down so it's difficult to put in my contacts. read more

My family and I, have been coming here for years to see Dr. Kook. Cute how she hums when checking your eyes. The staff is so nice. I highly recommend this place. read more
