The minute I politely told them I just wanted to get my prescription, they stopped being extra friendly and pretty much threw the prescription at me and didn't even say you're welcome when I said thank you. If you know of an eye doctor who doesn't try to upsell you expensive eyelid lasers or amniotic sacs that are meant for burn victims, please message me. I'd love to find someone who is honest.

It seems like they have a wonderful selection of glasses here. The main stand out is Dr. Ferrucci - she is so kind, great at her job, and genuinely seems like she loves giving people the best experience at Toluca Lake Optometric Center. I really enjoyed her energy and awesome attitude. I like the set up of this spot - even when it was a little crowded, it didn't seem overwhelming and small like my last go-to eye spot. The attiudes of the front desk receptionists are really caring and sweet too, which speaks volumes. They seem like they all enjoy working together which is cool energy to be around as well. They have state of the art machines to test your vision and make sure your eyes are in good health condition and when you're asked how you're doing - they seem to authentically care. The reason I am giving them 4 stars is because they don't answer the phone most of the time and they text you letting you know they will call you back and unfortunately they don't. I understand this is because they're busy but you are lead to believe that they will call you back. You will have to call a few times. The second reason I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is because I was quoted a different price for my contacts the first time vs the second time. Meaning at the store I was told it would be *this price* and then when I called to pay the next day, I was told it was *this price*. I was also told that shipping would be a less amount of time then quoted so it does seem like there's a messaging mis-alignment but that's okay- will improve over time. This is my choice for best optometric center in Los Angeles. :) So happy to have found this place!

Walked in and was greeted by Uri. I think he is the owner of this place. It is a family owned business since 1994. They also fill in prescriptions. The reason for me being there was that I accidentally dropped my glasses and one of the lens came out, and one side of the frame broke. Uri, took a good look at it and said no worries, I will fix this right away and within like less than 15 minutes my lens were popped back in and the side of the frame that was broken was fixed. Even straighten my nose pads and cleaned both lenses. When I was there, there were only 3 other people looking at glasses. It's a standard size shop that sells various glasses by labels, designers, and generic type. They don't do no exams at this place, but do accept most vision insurances. Also, cash and credit cards are accepted. Uri, only charged me $20 dollars for both fixings including the nose pads. I took a good look at the store, and they had vast variety of glasses. Store was clean, with few parking spaces in the back, but I parked on the street. Thank you Uri, and Eyelab. Hopefully I will not drop my glasses any more. Accidents DO happen...

Okay, no big deal and easy. Picked them up and asked to get them adjusted. That's when it went awry.

They gave it a very valiant effort but execution left a lot to be desired. They didn't break my new glasses but they were not balanced or straight after adjusting. Great taste in frames.

You're about to give up and then you meet Raymond. Raymond would have loved to have sold me what he had on display (of course who wouldn't), but when I wasn't finding exactly what I was looking for he reached out to his SoCal Lindberg representative and found he had a frame sample of the right shape and size, and another frame of the right color. They also did the research to determine the color of one could be had on the shape of the other. The rep brought them up to Studio City from Beverly Hills so I could see them the very next day at VeyeP. It's really hard to find service like this these days. Thanks Raymond (and Lindberg).

It started off a little meh for me as there is only street parking and as I am disabled, the walk was a little hard for me. BUT the service totally made the walk worthwhile. I did pay extra for the eye X-ray thingie but that was so much better than getting my eyes dilated. I'm diabetic as well and I have to get my eyes checked yearly to ensure that my eyes are ok. This was a much easier exam than getting the dilation. Much easier and much safer for me. Then I got taken to the back and the optometrist was great as well. She recommended some things and talked with me about some other issues as well. She also told me that the pores on my eye lids were getting gunky and to start doing warm eye compresses at night and it has been helping. Then the nicest very helpful lady... I wished I had gotten her name... Helped me to find new glasses. She was so helpful in bringing glasses to me and looking up colors for me and just being overall extremely helpful. Normally I'm used to being told, go and look and see what glasses you like... Instead here, she assisted me with everything which was very much appreciated. Overall, the parking sucked but I guess that's LA.... Lol BUT the service was amazing and I think I might've finally found my permanent optometrist!!

Avoid this place if you can and go elsewhere. This is not your friendly neighorhood optometrist…read more I decided to give this place a second chance due to all of the 5 star reviews but I'm disappointed once again. My experience was similar as last time. They are not transparent with the fees they charge you until after you swipe your credit card. I booked an appointment over the phone and was told that my eye exam is $30 along with a $75 contacts fitting fee. My insurance covers my eye exam, so I should only be charged $75. This additional retinal exam was not clarified over the phone. If this were to be clear, then I would have opted out because I have no need for this. I was overcharged. I called AND texted to make things right and they come up with excuses that I signed a form that I never did sign and that they did call me. Transparency is this office's biggest weakness. As a patient here, you're simply a paying customer who's only valued for your business versus your overall wellbeing.

Dr. Dodge himself is an excellent care provider and makes the exam process a breeze. However the…read morestaff that handles glasses and contacts unfortunately take away from the entire experience. First example, they were unable to acquire a certain brand of contacts however I was charged for them and it took me months of calling to get my refund. Each time I called they said "it's coming" and the last call I guess someone who knows how to process refunds did it right then and there. This took maybe 2.5 months. Second example, I had to keep going back to get my glasses fixed since I literally can't see out of them. They would either send it back to the technicians or try to fix them in the office and basically just said "keep wearing them". The back and forth, shipping of the glasses, the delay in the glasses arriving themselves took over a year. So I finally told them these aren't working out a year had passed and I was SOL. Dr. dodge even mentioned to them to let me have a new pair but I was denied. I asked to speak to the office manager and told her that Dr Dodge was okay with it and she never called me back. I've been seeing Dr. Dodge for 15 years and only since they moved to the new office it's been painful dealing with the office staff. I would highly recommend him for care however if you can get your glasses or contacts online just go that route.

My family and I have spent several pretty…read morepennies buying multiple pairs of glasses from the practice ($1,754 over insurance just for myself since 2024). I've always had good insurance and have made the most of it, but I find myself without insurance for the first time in ages, and let me tell you -- the main front office lady turned a warm conversation into a cold, belittling, and smug interaction so quickly that I am taking my cash business elsewhere and will refrain from recommending them, as I have for years to my extensive network of executives. Here's the play-by-play: I called to inquire about an appointment for myself. I needed to see if they accepted Medi-Cal and, if not, how much the cash price would be. I am prioritizing continuation of care, as I have suffered from retinal detachments in the past and my eyes require added expertise. At first, I was speaking with someone who was very kind and understanding. She quoted a cash price in the ballpark of $125. That was doable for me, so I proceeded to schedule an appointment. Then she ran my Medi-Cal number to see if there were any benefits, because I cannot afford new frames and wanted to replace the lenses in my existing frames. Fine. All of a sudden, the call dropped. So I called back, and the lead front desk woman answered the phone. I asked to be reconnected with her colleague who was helping me, but she said they were all with other customers. I explained that I was the one one of them was on the line with, and she asked what it was regarding. I let her know that they were running my Medi-Cal number. She asked about different Medi-Cal plans, and I let her know that I am on straight Medi-Cal, to which she promptly and snidely replied, "We don't accept straight Medi-Cal." So I said that's fine, I can pay cash. Then she raised the price to $175, said it's $39 more if I add retinal scans, and if I want contact lenses, that's another charge. Now, I can't prove that she hung up the phone on her colleague, but I sincerely suspect it. I expected to pay cash. What immediately turned me off was not even the convenient cash price increase -- it was her attitude: haughty, condescending, brusque, and entitled. (She is also usually very pushy about selling new frames. Not anything I was originally annoyed by, but something my husband hates about going there.) On top of treating me as an unwanted and unwelcome patient, she belittled her colleague as "new" and said that's why I was given incorrect information. Absolutely no decorum or emotional intelligence. She just threw the woman under the bus. The correct move would have been to say that there was a new price sheet, or something to that effect -- NOT to undermine her colleague. I know that we've ALL experienced front desks with subpar customer service, but her immediate dismissiveness toward a good-paying patient who has brought an entire family and other good clients to their practice is beyond the pale. For the record, I have Medi-Cal because I am recovering from cancer. I didn't mention that on the phone, because no citizen owes anyone an explanation for their coverage -- we all pay into Medi-Cal. There are widespread layoffs occurring throughout Los Angeles. They ARE going to experience an increase in cash customers. I will not be made to feel less-than for not having insurance in this moment, and I don't want anyone in need of good care to be treated with such prejudice. I think retraining is needed -- learning to have respect not only for her colleagues but for her fellow citizens. We will be taking our business and recommendations elsewhere. Sorry, Dr. Sloan! You need to replace her.
