I have gone here a handful of times and they've always been helpful...... until now. I have something bothering my eye. Not sure what it is. It's happened before so the doctor looked at it and saw an eyelash and pulled it out no problem. I called since I'm having a similar issue. Now they refuse to help me. Pushed me off on some other doctor and ophthalmologist. I asked if they can just take a look and without being able to give me a reason why, they've decided it will be out of pocket. Completely unhelpful. Looks like I'll be finding a new doctor who wants to help patients, not just push them off on someone else or dismiss them without a consult first. read more

I went to Dr. Hakopian after my regular optometrist wasn't able to give me accurate lenses. The prescription felt so far off that it was giving me headaches & I was seeing blurry. I decided to try Dr. Hakopian and I was so pleased with my overall experience. She was very thorough and spent about 45 minutes with me. She carefully and patiently did an eye exam for me after I expressed I have sensitive eyes and explained every process step by step and went over the results, unlike other doctors I've been to who don't even go over your results with you. She went over my original prescription given by my previous doctor & compared it to the new prescription she was going to give me. She actually showed me on the machine the difference between my old & new prescription & how differently I was seeing between both lenses. She made recommendations to the new lenses she was going to give me & explained why she's going to prescribe those specific numbers & how that would be most beneficial for me. It's been almost 3 months since I've been using these new glasses & they are perfect! Such a major difference from the previous one to this one. No headaches, no blurriness. She doesn't take my insurance so I had to pay out of pocket, but I took a chance anyway and it was worth it!!! Very happy with my first visit with Dr. Hakopian. Her staff is also welcoming & helpful and their office is clean & organized. Highly recommend read more

Dr. Sara Hakopian is the best eye doctor I've ever had! Been going to her for at least 5 years now and have never even thought about changing eye doctors. She's very sweet, honest & patient. I recently got married and now my husband goes to her as well! She has all of the latest high tech gadgets to make your eye appointment as fast, easy, & smooth as possible! We are very happy with Dr. Hakopian! read more

Great, friendly, thorough optometrist :) Dr. Sara and her staff are so sweet. I even had to take my cranky, baby and they were able to accommodate me during my appointment. Having had glasses since I was 4 years old and contacts since 4th grade, I'm no stranger to eye doctors. She's at the top! Additionally, I'm an urgent care and have referred patients and she's been able to get patients in fairly quickly for urgent needs. While she takes most vision plans (VSP), cash prices start at $149 which is definitely market price if not lower. Highly recommend :) read more

Love dr hakopian! I'm always such a baby with anything doctor or medical related and she has the best bed side manner ever. She never made me feel rushed and she answered every question I had with patience. My husband ended up going to her and feeling the same. I'm going to be scheduling my 3 year olds first eye exam soon and I am fully confident that dr hakopian will make her eye exam easy and fun. She's an awesome optometrist and I highly recommend her! read more

Dr. Sara Hakopian has been my family's optometrist for YEARS now! It's a very professional office, the staff is welcoming, and the Dr. is simply amazing! I recently took my 6 year old daughter for an eye exam. The Dr is not only knowledgeable but she took her time to examine my daughter very thoroughly. She ensured that my daughter received high quality care. The office also has a great selection of glasses, which we ended up getting one! I would definitely recommend Dr. Sara Hakopian!!! read more

I have seen the same doctor for 10+ years and was extremely hesitant to make the change until I met Sara Hakopian. Sara is a great Doctor and my visit with her was exceptional. She has a great sense of humor and I absolutely enjoyed the exam and visit. Thank you for the great glasses and gifting me with sight again (okay, I wasn't really that blind, but I can definitely see much better now!)! read more

Dr. Sara was great! I had LASIK done at an eye institute in Upstate NY and because I live in L.A. needed to have a checkup here. She was courteous and professional the entire time. Did a thorough checkup and answered all the questions that I had. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great Optometrist. read more

Best eye doctor. She is helping me and my 4 year old boy. She had me trying out some contact lenses until I found the one I liked the most. Thanks for your patience and for caring! read more

I love Dr Hakopian! She is so kind and so understanding! I am a high maintenance patient and she always makes me feel welcome no matter what! She has beautiful selection of frames and is always there for me when I need adjustments. read more

I recently moved to the Burbank area and was looking for a new optometrist, and my coworker referred me to Dr Hakopian. Dr. Sara and her staff are very friendly, helpful, and caring. They use the latest technology, and had a very nice selection of glasses. The office is clean and well maintained. The doctor is so knowledgeable, I wear specialty contacts lenses for my high astigmatism and Dr Sara did such a great job and this is the best vision I've been able to get in a really long time. She's amazing and I am very pleased with the care I've received. I will be taking my kids in next since she so sweet and looks like she works well with kids. read more

When it comes to your eyes, you really want a doctor who knows her stuff and is willing to answer questions. Dr. Hakopian is so bright, kind, and thorough. Right from the first phone call, I felt as if I had found the right place. Yesenia, who runs the front desk and handles the booking, is super friendly and helpful. Yesenia was able to get me in within a weeks time. I left my former optometrist's office bc you could get an immediate appointment for Botox but had to wait months for an eye exam, really?!* Actually, I'm very grateful because it led me to find Dr. Hakopian, who I definitely recommend. The office is very clean and welcoming. It's in an office park kind of building in Burbank that feels like you're in a woodland retreat. I easily found street parking, then saw there was a lot as well. Dr. Hakopian has state of the art equipment and a nice selection of glasses on hand. They helped me order a great new pair of glasses. I didn't know the specifics of what my new insurance would cover. Dr. Hakopian and Yesenia clearly explained it to me and handled the paperwork. If you're looking for a great team for your vision needs, check out Dr. Hakopian. read more

I've been going to Dr. Hakopian for several years now, and she is really the best eye doctor I have ever seen. She makes her patients super comfortable, and visits are quick and painless. read more

Dr Hakopian Was totally worth the drive from Santa Clarita! I knew 75 five star reviews was something special and I'm happy to be the number of 76. Your eyes are kind of important I figured, love working with a pro! read more

She is amazing, particularly with kids! I had three under the age of 8 all there for eye exams (including my own exam), and she was amazing in how she handled them for that hour. She answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns. I was very impressed. read more

Dr. Hakopian, a true profesional, and a true marvel with children, brought in my already excited 8 yr. Old daughter, not only did Dr. Hakopian know how to cater to a childs needs, but, made the visit heartfelt and above all... informative. I'd strongly recommend her for your childs optical needs, finally...a pretty cool selection of frames, for both girls and boys. Two very happy clients. read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Hakopian and her staff. They were genuine, nice, professional and very helpful. Dr. Hakopian took the time to ask about my eyes, answer my questions and listen to concerns. She diagnosed things that others have never diagnosed in the past, and which I had been experiencing for many years. She and her staff were very helpful when I was trying to pick frames. They made it so much easier, as it is usually so hard for me to figure out which frames are good for my face. I wasn't rushed in any way, and felt very comfortable taking my time. I'm so glad I found her, and her office takes my insurance. They have a beautiful office; neat and clean. A great selection of frames, and a parking lot behind the building. They are open every other Saturday, so just ask if you need a Saturday appointment. If you are going to have your pupils dilated and the drops put in them, I would suggest having your appointment when you don't have to return to work or somewhere where you need to see. I experienced extremely blurred vision for 4 hours or so. Plan accordingly. They accept Credit Care credit cards for any difference your insurance doesn't cover. I have already recommended this office to friends and family. read more

Easily the best eye doctor I've ever had! Super gentle, patient, and thorough. She goes the extra mile to make sure you're comfortable and happy with your glasses/contacts. Highly recommend!! read more

Every single visit I've made to Dr. Hakopian's office has been an incredibly positive experience. I honestly haven't a single negative thing to say about her, her staff, or the office itself. She has always been kind and understanding with someone like me who's insurance and employment status changes more than the seasons. If you're looking for an optometrist, stop your search. Look no further. You've found her. read more

Dr. Hakopian is the best. She is always thorough and takes her time. She truly cares about her patients. I trust her recommendations and am a very satisfied customer! She goes out of her way to find the best deals, rebates, etc. to save you money when buying contacts or glasses. Most optometrists try to make money off of their patients, but not Dr. H. I have been going here for years and will continue to do so even though I recently moved and travel 45 minutes for my appointments. I won't use any other optometrist. I cannot say enough great things!! read more

Sara was very professional and went above and beyond what was asked of her to be sure she checked on all of my concerns. I will for sure be going back to see her again when I need another visit. read more

Love Dr. Sara and most importantly my kids love her! First time we went to her they were nervous did not know what to expect but Dr. Sarah made them feel very comfortable, asking them questions about their day and explained what she was doing. Now they get excited every time they have a check up with her. She is Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. read more

This doctor charged my insurance for a service she did not do for me. I called to order contact lenses and was told I had to wait until May because I've used up my insurance allowance for contact lens purchase. Can't be, I thought, there must be a mistake so I called my insurance VSP and they offered to call the Dr. Hakopian's clinic. VSP said they performed contact lens fitting on me when I was there in May. I said no, she did not. VSP said, well, "she charged your insurance for it and went against your lens allowance". When I spoke to Dr. Hakopian about it, she still is insistent that we did the fitting. What fitting did she do? She didn't give me any sample lenses to try on. She went explaining some nonsense and said the fitting she did was to make sure the lenses I was wearing are fit for my eyes. I wasn't wearing contact lenses at that time. I was wearing glasses that I can easily remove during the exam. I don't wear contacts during an eye exam because it's an eye exam, you're not supposed to be wearing corrective lenses! I can't believe a doctor would charge for something that never happened. Or if she charged at that time, she should have told me and give me some sort of receipt or record. Plus, the fact that she's lying, trying to cover up the cheating, coming up with me wearing contacts, a lie after a lie is just not right. A doctor is someone a patient should be able to trust and this doctor failed. I was supposed to have her check my daughter's (and husband's and sister's) eyes too but I cancelled the appointment. Never again with this doctor. I'm truly disappointed. read more

I'm a new patient of Dr. Hakopian and saw her this past weekend for the first time. The day of my appointment, the receptionist called me and asked me to come in about an hour earlier than my scheduled appointment because they had an opening. It was a Saturday so I was able to come in earlier, even though it was just 2 hours notice. I arrive on time and end up waiting an hour-- so I wasn't seen until the time of my original appointment. The receptionist seemed flustered by this and admitted that she had asked me to come in earlier but didn't realize how late it was. Anyway, I'm seen by Dr. Hakopian, she seems nice and goes through the appointment quickly and answers all of my questions. She was pleasant and seemed very knowledgable. She prescribed a new contact lens prescription for me, and some eye drops for allergies. I go back to reception to check out, order contacts and pay my bill. I leave the office and realize I wasn't given my prescription for the eye drops. I call the office to see if the prescription can be sent to my pharmacy and the receptionist said that it'd be difficult to do, so I go back to the office to pick it up. Even though there are no other patients there, the prescription isn't ready so I have to wait for it. Fast forward several days, I learn this prescription isn't covered by my insurance. My pharmacy has been trying to get ahold of Dr. Hakopian's office for 4 days and hasn't heard back from them. 3 stars because Dr. Hakopian seems like a great optometrist, but -2 stars because her receptionist seems so disorganized that it isn't worth the effort of going to this doctor. I will not be going back. read more

Dr. Hakopian is wonderful, intelligent, and caring. I've gone to her a couple of times already so her thoughtful attention to my health is consistent. When I walked in, I was kindly greeted and promptly seen by Dr. Hakopian.Dr. Hakopian is a smart person, she was very informative about everything I asked her about and I can certainly say she has her patient's best interest at heart. Her receptionist is also a smart individual who is knowledgeable about insurance and the works of it all. I was seen promptly, given individual attention, and all my questions and concerns were addressed. Like I mentioned above, she's a caring doctor. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the quality of her work. I am fully confident in her skills and I recommend her to my family, friends, and fellow yelpers. read more

Just had my first appointment with Dr. Hakopian and she was amazing! She's such a sweet and caring doctor.

I've been seeing Dr. Hakopian for about 5 years now. Shes very professional and spends a lot of time on a thorough exam. My father has optic nerve damage along with all sorts of other vision issues. She was the only doctor that was able to prescribe the perfect pair of glasses for a trifocals. Shes easy to get a hold of, the office is very organized and calls you with a reminder for your annual exam. read more

Looking to find a new ophthalmologist, I was very pleased to discover Sara Hakopian. She takes her time and listens to what you have to say. The office is small and you don't get that corporate feeling you get from a place like Lens Crafters. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pleasant and stress-free visit to the doctor. read more

Omg by far one of the best optometrist that I know! I highly recommend Dr. Hakopian. She is very professional! She answered all of my questions and concerns! She pays close attention to detailed! I wish I could give her 10 stars read more

I could not be more grateful to have found Dr. Hakopian. She saved my vision. Seriously. I went to her for a routine eye exam and she urged me to see a retinal specialist right away. She explained what she saw, but that a specialist would have to determine the extent of the damage to my retina. She even called me that next week to check in and make sure I had made the appointment. It's obvious that she really, genuinely cares. And it's a good thing she did, because even though I had zero symptoms, I did indeed have a detached retina that required emergency surgery. I never would have known if she hadn't seen it in the scans! (I should also note that another optometrist did NOT see what Dr Hakopian did. But what the specialist saw was in line with what Dr Hakopian showed me on the photos). I honestly cannot thank her enough. read more

Dr. Sara is the best. She's very nice and patient and I'd definitely recommend her. She gave me various options to use my year end insurance benefits. Nicole at front desk is also very courteous and professional. She patiently answered all of my questions when I called to make an appointment. She's one of the best. Thanks Nicole. read more

Dr. Hakopian is fantastic. Thoughtful and really listens to her patients. The office is small but functional and the staff is very helpful and communicative. They are very sensitive to people's budgets and knowledgeable about insurance benefits. During Covid they were sensible about precautions. Definitely the best eye doctor I've had. read more

I just had my first appointment with Dr. Hakopian and it was such a wonderful experience. Her front office was friendly, polite and patient. Really welcoming vibe! They put me at ease immediately. Dr. Hakopian was so friendly and kind, and took her time with me to explain everything and answer all of my questions. Absolutely wonderful bedside manner. And she clearly is a highly-competent, trained professional. She also didn't shame or chastise me for me sleeping in my lenses, which hasn't been good for my eyes. She had a way of telling me I shouldn't be doing that that wasn't belittling. Also, no up-sell of products or services! I highly, highly recommend her! read more

Dr. Hakopian was very welcoming of me being a new patient. She did all of the required vision tests with explaining every process in great detail. She helped me pick out glasses for reading and prolonged computer use. I've been to another optometrist in Beverly Hills, and have had horrible experience with them due to attitudes and lack of thorough vision exams. Dr. Hakopian was very friendly and provided outstanding service. I will make her my primary for my family's vision needs. read more

Dr. Hakopian is great. I came to her because I felt that my prescription/acuity just wasn't right, and my previous optometrist wasn't as thorough as I'd hoped. Dr Hakopian was very kind and helpful. She answered a lot of my questions and has helped to make sure my glasses are correct, as I was struggling to adapt to prism. She tried a bunch of things to make sure i am seeing as best I can. Will definitely keep going here. read more
