Went in to see Dr Kummer today for an issue in my left eye. He is always so patient and thorough. So happy he was able to squeeze me in today. read more

I have to give Dr Kummer credit for contacting me and asking why I was dissatisfied ? At least he has attempted to make things better and listens to what people are saying. However, I have not since returned but felt I should at least acknowledge the fact that he tried to possibly give me a better experience. read more

I been a patient here pretty much as long as I can remember. My mom always took us here. We never had bad service ever. I refer everyone to their eye doctor. He's simply the best. Never a long wait time always in and out with a quality pair of glasses. read more

I've been a patient/client of Dr. Kummer for several years. He is always very attentive and thorough on my visits. His office staff is helpful and keeps the front area well organized. Dr. Kummer carries a nice selection of frames and provides a prompt turn around on orders. In this day when doctors think nothing of scheduling you for an appointment, making you wait excessive amounts of time and then paying little attention to your concerns or needs, it is refreshing to have a doctor that respects your time by seeing you at the time when you actually scheduled your appointment. It also helps not having to pay a ridiculous amount of money to park. read more

Dr. Kummer is amazing. He is friendly, professional, honest, smart, and caring. He doesn't try to rip you off nor sells you stuff that you don't need (like other eye dr.). read more

Dr. Kummer is great! I hadn't been to the optometrist in about a year and my contact lens Rx was soon to expire. I checked the list of my insurance's approved optometrists against yelp reviews, and Kummer seemed my best bet! I called around 10am and the woman who answered got my insurance info and said she'd call back 'in 5 minutes' to tell me whether or not I was for sure covered by my insurance to see Kummer. She called back about an hour later (eh, not that big of a deal) and said I was good. I asked for the next available appt and fortunately they had an opening that day at 230pm, so I took it! I arrived about 220pm for my appt. Street parking only. Some meters directly in front of the office on Robertson, more meters on the first side street (Alcott) and then unmetered parking further down Alcott. I was able to get an unmetered street spot on Alcott which was nice. I went in was greeted by the woman at the front desk. She got my name and said to take a seat. I waited maybe 5 minutes for Dr. Kummer. The actual visit was short, efficient, and painless. Dr. Kummer explained what the various machines did before he did them. He was very nice, not too chatty but still friendly. I appreciated how he worked efficiently; I was glad to get in and out pretty fast. Dr. Kummer told me it would be cheaper for me to get my contacts through my insurance and then he gave me my Rx for my glasses and said I should get them online. I was glad he discussed it with me, because at first I thought it would be cheaper the other way (getting glasses with insurance and paying contacts out of pocket) and was originally intending to do that until he explained it to me. He gave me a free pair of contacts with my new Rx (my eyes got worse oh joy!). I paid my copay ($30 for the exam, contacts were totally covered by insurance) and got my Rx and was out. Maybe 35 minutes total? Possibly even less. BUT...as I was driving home and running errands, I noticed that my right eye was blurred. My left eye was sharp, but right was definitely unclear. I thought at first it was just my eyes adjusting to my new Rx, but after a few hours of no change, I called the office. Dr. Kummer told me to come back, so I headed back over. I waited about two minutes when I got back before Kummer took me to the exam room. I explained the issue and he put me back behind the lens machine (no idea what it's called lol) then took out my right contact. He went and got a new lens and put it in my eye. VOILA! All was well! It was just a faulty lens. He said he got the new lens from a different box of the samples, as sometimes some packages manufactured together are bad. So, totally not a big issue. Just a matter of a wonky lens! I was really grateful that Dr. Kummer saw me the same day and fixed the issue immediately! My vision is sharp and I am happy! I'll definitely keep seeing Dr. Kummer and I do recommend him. read more

Dr. Kummer's office was really nice!! It looked great when you walk in, with tons of selection for new frames. I'm excited to go back and start picking mine out! He was friendly and very thorough. I was able to explain myself, and ask questions. I've had the same eye doctor since I was 6 years old and now moved away from him, I was nervous to go to someone new. I brought my prescriptions in for my contacts and glasses and he really worked with me on getting the right one and updating/changing my prescription. He really spent the time to make sure I could read and see clearly in both eyes. I feel confidant about having him as my new eye doctor and I really enjoyed my exam with him! read more

I've been going to Dr. Kummer for 5 years (so has my wife) and never had a bad experience. Dr. Kummer has a good selection of eye glasses. Dr. Kummer and staff are nice and helpful, understands my needs and budget. I will recommend Dr. Kummer to anyone. Don't let other negative comments, if any, turn you away from letting Dr. Kummer and staff earn your business. It's an eye exam and find a fun pair of glasses. Anthony T. read more

Thank you for contacting me and correcting this issue, I got my money and I want you to know the assistants are very nice and very helpful, just keep in mind when dealing with peoples $ over an error, nonchalant is not a proper approach. But Thank You again for correcting it quickly. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Kummer for years (10+) while living in LA. Four years ago I moved to NYC and obviously sought out a new doctor in my current city. I have spent these years with lousy vision because the docs I saw here could not figure out my prescription. I have been back to the same doc three times with no luck. Last week I was in LA on business and took a shot to see if the good Doc could see me. His team squeezed me in and I can once again see. One may wonder what my problem was... I need readers to go with my contacts. My progressive lenses in my glasses didn't clue in the NYC docs to tell me I need readers. Go figure. When they told me my contacts were for people who needed progressive lenses, I believed them. Reading some of these reviews it seems some of the unhappy persons thought he didn't care about his patients. I find that categorically untrue. He is all business when he is examining you. Laser focused on the eye chart and flipping those glasses (better here, or here...or about the same?). He wants it to be correct. He wants you to have your best vision. On another note, his staff is extremely efficient. His selection of designer frames is deep and the staff will participate in the selection process if you ask. Finally, I have never written a Yelp Review in my life but felt so strongly about how well Dr. Kummer and his staff took care of me, I beleived it warranted a post. Call and make an appointment today. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kummer's Office now for two years and I have had excellent care from him and his staff. His staff is so attentive, pleasant and kind and really genuinely want to help you. They're also very patient when it comes to picking out glasses, and I am very picky. I was going to LensCrafters and they never have helped me as much as Dr. Kummer and his staff. This is the place in Los Angeles that you should go, you won't be sorry. read more

Dr Kummer has been my optometrist for the past 16 yrs. I've recommended a lot of friends to his office for the simple fact that he is the BEST! The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. They have a vast variety of frames to fit everyone's taste. THE BEST!!! read more

omg the staff can care less about you they dont greet you when you walk in they all have attuides, rude and the dr is not friendly at all, he misdiognoticed me on my contacts wrong size and will not fix the issue, i would advise you to fire your staff and have people that make your customers feel welcomed, save time go somewhere else, thank god for yelp i wish i would have checked before i went, ps all people should be treated the same he staffs 3 lationo's females im sorry most unprofessional rude employees ever read more

I have been going to Doctor Kummer for over 20 years. He is thorough and reasonably priced. He has a calm professional demeanor. They have a great selection of frames as well. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kummer since 1983! Yes, 1983! I grew up in the neighborhood his office is in, but even after moving to the Valley, and even while I lived in Simi Valley for just over 8 years, I still drove all the way over to Dr. Kummer's office for my yearly eye exams, contact lenses and glasses. In fact, I was just there last week for this year's eye exam, year's supply of contact lenses, and a new pair of glasses. That's how much I enjoy going to Dr. Kummer for all my vision needs, and how great of an optometrist that I think he is! I can't say anything but good things about him, or the assistants in his office, who're also very helpful! His prices are very reasonable. He accepts my insurance. He's very professional, gives very thorough eye exams, and honestly, I dread the day that he retires, because I'll miss going to him, and I really think it's going to be hard to find another optometrist as respectable as Dr. Kummer! I feel very fortunate to have had an optometrist like Dr. Kummer for over 30 years now! read more

Been going to Dr. K since I found out I needed glasses in elementary school, I'm in my early 30s now. He's in the neighborhood and he gets the job done, very thorough, new equipment, gets you in and out, online appointments...all good. Nice clean organized spot with lots of frames to choose from and nice staff to helo you who have worked there for a long time. read more

I live nearby, so went there two years ago instead of the valley, where I used to go. Great selection of frames, friendly staff, the glasses were well-priced. As I recently felt I had some vision changes, went back and had the same nice treatment. Loving my glasses. Thanks so much! read more

This is Sam T. I recently got my glasses from Dr. Kummer. I don;t think there is any other places that you could get such a great service and all the staff and employees treat you like a king. Its a great place and Dr. Kummer has over 15 years of experience and he is very knowledgable about what he does and he is excellent at doing it. I highly recommend him and his location and for those who are in style he carries top of the line brand frames and best quality. read more

After reading the reviews I must say I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kummer and staff. I have not yet seen an eye doctor like him before. Dr Kummer greeted me with a hand shake and performed a very thorough eye exam which at the conclusion of the examination he answered all my questions. His office has a very wide variety of frames to choose from and the opticians are very helpful and honest to what looks best. I highly recommend Dr. Kummer. read more

Quick. Easy. Professional. Was in a rush for new glasses and Dr. Kummer had me in and out in fifteen minutes. Love my new glasses and his prompt service. What more can you ask for! read more

Great customer service! This is the second time we are purchasing glasses here!

Dr. Kummer helped my vision greatly. Never had a problems or heard any problems about him. They provided me with excellent service. He rushed my glasses because i needed new ones quickly. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr.Kummer,so unfortunate and sad that some may feel unsatisfied with their experience,however, that is the world in which we share with,negative,disrespectful,ungrateful and self-centered people!! Dr.Kummer is an outstanding eye-care professional,dedicated to serving the needs/concerns of his patients and staff!! I have,personally,been a proud patient of Dr.Kummer's for a little over 2-years now and I have ALWAYS been treated with the utmost respect,dignity and care that ANY patient could ever hope and ask for!! The prices,selection are extremely low and reasonable,without sacrificing quality and care!! Good luck finding this service anywhere else in L.A.!!! The staff is always informative and expedites my replacements usually within approx. 48-hours or so!! Dr.Kummer personally cares with an empathetic nature,very respectful and pays very close attention to detail!! Highly recommended!! Do yourself a favor...If your concern is saving,don't sacrifice your budget when it comes to your vision!! Your eyes are your ONLY pair!! If you wanna go visit these "fly-by-night" (other guys) to just save a couple bucks...you'll soon see(or not see) the intent or lack thereof,in care and quality!! Go see Dr.Kummer and "see"!!! I can't ever imagine having another eye-care professional!!! Thank you Dr.Kummer for your continued care and concern!! Respectfully, J.Stevens read more

I have been going to Dr. Kummer for about 15 years approx (give or take a couple) Ihave never had a problem with him or his staff. They are friendly, helpful and the choices for frames are fantastic. I have also just taken the pescription and gotten glasses elsewhere if he didnt have ones that i liked or found them cheaper somewhere else.i did however for one year go somewhere else and it was the biggest regret i ended up having conjunctivitus 2 times (not sure why maybe the contacts didnt fit right??? really not sure) the 2nd time it came i went to Dr Kummer who immediatly gave me eye drops and fixed them perfectly. read more

I absolutely love Dr. Kummer and his staff! My grandma, my mom and myself have been patients of Dr. Kummer since the late 90's and he always gives me the time, extremely accommodating, it's a real pleasure to go and see him, very patient, extremely knowledgeable. I now moved from the area for the last 3 years and I still go to him because to me he is absolutely the BEST! Thank you Dr. Kummer and your gracious staff! read more

Don't those eyeglass ads on TV sound wonderful? Then when you get there they don't have all the latest styles or anything you really want to wear. I have heard the ads and I went one time just to see. Not my cup of tea. I am very nearsighted and wear glasses all the time. Because glasses are so much a part of my face I am very picky about my frames and I love red! Try to find pair of red glasses - just try. I promise you will get very frustrated - the ones I wanted just were not available anywhere. I had glasses I loved from Dr. Kummer but I wanted them in red. I loved the owlish Harry Potter frames I had already gotten from him - but I really, really wanted red. Not a problem. Dr. K found my owl frames in 8 colors - top quality frames made in the UK . You will need to special order them, but they are completely worth the short wait and great look. The fact that I can get them in 7 other colors is also a bonus - but the red is killer. He put in the extra time and energy to get them, put in my Rx and I left there smiling - well like a Cheshire cat! He also showed me a selection of retro frames in hot pink, lavender and ivory that are the coolest sunglasses I have seen anywhere. This small shop always has special prices and frames frequently go on sale. There is no hard sell and no pressure. As a long time customer I have come to expect great service - and that's why I can recommend him to anyone who needs great eye care. And as another bonus (something I didn't know until recently) - he can treat eye conditions that do not require surgery - something that can keep you out of the high cost doctor's office when you need professional eye treatment that isn't just an exam. I wonder if those folks who advertise on TV offer have that to offer? The practice also has great contacts, designer frames and it even takes your insurance (call for accepted plans). Right in the heart of Pico-Robertson, walk-ins are welcome and you can even book appointments online!! read more

just got my new summer shades! i forgot to add that my kids also got brand new cool glasses for school. they are VERY excited!
