Dr. Hamparian and Michael are truly hidden gems of the optometrist field. I first went to Dr. Hamparian last year for a contact exam, and my appointment went above and beyond my expectations. She was kind, incredibly knowledgable and genuinely just wanted to offer me the best options for my eyes. It is clear that she is the type of doctor who wants to help her patients, rather than pushing her own agenda. I was also helped by Michael when it came to getting new eye glasses. He was incredibly helpful every step of the way. He not only filled my lense prescription at a fraction of the cost of any other place in LA, but he also encouraged me to shop around and make sure I was getting the best bang for my buck. This made it very clear that like Dr. Hamparian, Michael cares about the well-being of the customer rather than just wanting their business. I ended up getting my dream glasses and the prescription was perfect! I am so thrilled with the end result and grateful to Michael for being so helpful. I am so impressed with the professionalism, kindness and honesty of SoCal Vision Center and have now become a loyal customer. I have referred SoCal to all of my friends and family and encourage anyone reading this review to make an appointment. They will not steer you wrong! read more

Dr Hamparian is very competent and professional. A well run practice. She was very patient and explained the options for my cataracts.

Ok folks, I came here on a Groupon! I was not expecting the exemplary service I received here, especially since it was through a Groupon. I was simply blown away. Michael might be the most upbeat, positive, cheerful doctor I've ever met. He's like the sun and you are just drawn in by his sunny, radiant, personality. He treats you like he's known you for years and goes above and beyond to make sure he diagnoses you correctly. I've never had a doctor where I've felt that I could talk to for hours on end like this. He's very genuine and there's no BS. As other reviewers have stated, you really do feel like you're talking to an old friend. He wanted me to come back, free of charge, just to make sure my prescription had really changed. I've never had an eye doctor suggest that, and this was from a Groupon! I've never been so impressed during an eye appt. He really genuinely cares about you and wants to make sure you have the most accurate assessment. In addition on top of the excellent service they gave me a TON of eye drop samples for my dry eyes. I've never had an eye appointment feel like Xmas! I will 100 percent be coming back here! read more

Honestly? This place is a gem... amazing customer service! I had an issue with my prescription and they immediately took care of it :) they gained a customer for life. Everyone here is so sweet and helpful! They definitely gained a customer for life. read more

I rarely do a At reviews but if I do, I know they deserve it. My first tinge in this office and boy did they exceed my expectations, the clinic is very neat and friendly. Front desk is hospitable and very sweet but one thing that caught my attention was the doctor was exemplary AMAZING as in Amazing. He was so professional and bubbly that you felt like talking to a friend. More power to you guys... read more

Ok so let me start off by saying that my father has gone there a few times and he was rather happy, so I'm not sure how they managed to screw up so royally this time around. A few weeks ago my father had an infection in his eye, similar to a stye, he went to her, and since she doesn't t take our insurance he went as a cash patient, paid $300+ for her to poke at it and say " the infection is coming out on its own - so put on a hot compress and it doesn't go away in about two weeks, come back and I'll cut and remove it" to me that was already ridiculous but my father trusted her and waited... about 2/3 weeks later we went back again because as you guessed it didn't come out on its own, again as a cash patient , paid another $400+ and she cut it this time, poked around in it and said that it used to come out and now it's not coming out, sorry I can't take it out, his eye is now bruised and swollen inevitably from the procedure that yielded no results. So basically he paid over $700 for her to do absolutely nothing and send him on his way, just please be careful and don't just pay to have nothing done and possibly be in worse shape than you were when you went originally. read more

Be careful if you come here! Dr. Hamparian spent 2 minutes with me after she had her tech spend less than 10 minutes with me re: the possibility I might have glaucoma based on a quick eye exam by another doctor. The doctor did not take into account that my vision might be affected by previous retinal surgeries and did not do the proper testing to exclude that as a possibility. She just kept pushing the laser surgery without fully explaining what it was or that it would only work for a couple years at best. It's like a surgery mill in there. I've never felt so rushed and panicked at the doctor in my life. I got a horrible vibe from the whole experience and called my original retinal surgeon, the esteemed Dr. Raghu Murthy, who brought me in and did the proper and lengthy tests required which showed I had NO glaucoma at all - only a small amount of existing damage from my previous retinal issues. Dr. Hamparian should have tested me thoroughly for this issue before she pushed me toward an unnecessary procedure and she didn't. I wonder how many other people have been scared into this procedure by this office. read more

Just a great doctor staff is wonderful. Optometry is very helpful. Michael is easy to deal with when ordering glasses read more

They are very efficient. Service is fast. They have high tech equipment. Doctor is knowledgeable. Got my glasses in less than 2 weeks. Should have known a long time ago. Will definitely comeback next year. read more

Dr Hamparian and her team, hands down the best. Love going there and so appreciate the great care. Thank you so much!!

I've been wearing glasses for most of my life and wanted to give contacts another try since my teenage years! Found Socal Vision Center on Groupon and made an appointment for my eye exam and contact fitting. Right off the bat the phone call to reception was extremely professional and informative so i already felt really good about this place. Came in on a Saturday and immediately noticed the modern office and atmosphere. I then met my new favorite optician, Michael Lewis!! Really down to earth and realistic about my questions and concerns, made me feel very welcome and comfortable along with helping me make the right choice for my contacts. Few days later, I received a follow up call to for another appointment to fit the contacts. Michael explained everything i needed to know on how to apply and care for my contacts and made sure i didn't feel any discomfort with them. Had a really great experience and will definitely recommend him. I can finally wear my snowboard goggles without my glasses in the way!! Thank you again Mike!! read more

SoCal Vision Center - Acuvue Oasys contact lenses - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Glendale, California

$160 at SoCal Vision vs. $600 at Burbank Optometrist (who shall remain anonymous)... Michael is so helpful, quick, and honest! I went to another optometrist to order my husbands new lenses but they quoted me $600 and when I asked the sales gal for price breakdown her attitude completely turned for the worst and she unpleasantly and confusingly rushes through te breakdown not making any sense. I found Michael on yelp, called up but the receptionist said I would need to go in for a quote. Michael sat down with me right away (no appointment) and went over the other optometrist quote and eye exam with me and showed me the options for lower pricing and told me how to order on my own online for the same lenses for $175!!! Instead of me ordering online I decided to just ask Michael to order for me since he did do all the work without even expecting anything in return! Just got the glasses total came out to under $160 they just need to be slightly adjusted so he told me to bring them back in and he'll take car of it. read more

My mom recently had surgery on both of her eyes through Doctor Hamparian and the whole experience was great. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They accommodated to all of our needs. My mother was very happy with the surgery. read more

Worst place. Lol When I came in for my appointment, they gave me a last minute info that my eye vision will be blurry for 3-4 hours after my eye exam, which is unfortunate because I have to drive home and work on my computer. Wish they told me this over the phone. They also gave me a last minute info about how the alternative option is not covered in my insurance even though they specifically told me that I am fully covered over the phone. I have never heard of this before and they told me it was a "new" process they've implemented and yet, they decided to tell me this right after I wasted my time driving there. If you want an optometry to care about your time and eye care, this is not the place. read more

This review is written on behalf of my grandmother who couldn't stop raving about her experience and the treatment she received by Dr. Hamparian. She had cataract surgery and felt Dr. Hamparian was an extremely caring and professional physician. She felt Dr. Hamparian took an individualistic approach with her condition and surgery which she really appreciated. She would highly recommend this physician. read more

I've been looking for an Opthamologist now for over 2 years. If you need one then I would look no further. Dr. Mireille P. Hamparian, MD is incredible. Originally, I came on a Saturday using a groupon but came back to see Dr. Hamparian and it was the best decision I made. read more

They honestly care and listen to their patients. They went so far above and beyond. I've been going to eye doctors for decades and have never had such a good experience. read more

From the doctor to the staff all of them are amazing. Went in for my dads eye he needed to do a surgery and the doctor was so kind and guided us through everything.The staff is very helpful and accommodating as well. Even after the surgery they took care of everything my dad was very happy. I recommend this place for sure. read more

Great doctor, patient, thorough and meticulous. Dr. Hamparian detected an early onset of an eye disease (rare for my age) and immediately got it under control. I have been seeing the doctor for nearly 8 years and could not be happier. Today, my husband also visited for the first time and was equally pleased. NOTE: Surprised at the 1 star review "VP D," gave to Dr. Hamparian, I was curious and I checked their other reviews: - VP D gave 1 STAR reviews for a whopping (5) EYE care professionals - NO review for the great doc they claim to have seen after Dr. Hamparian: "I went to another doctor who was the opposite of Dr. Hamparian: she clearly explained what needed to be done and performed a 5-minute procedure with much success." read more

I had a really wonderful experience at their office. The receptionist was friendly and accommodating and the eye specialist, Michael, was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I made an appointment Saturday morning and I was in & out in a good amount of time. I would recommend this clean and organized office to my friends. read more

The most unqualified staff with zero ethical manner. When I brought up, how poorly we were treated by her rude staff, Dr. Hamparian simply replied "the girls are new to their job and they need to learn" !!!! I guess we have to pay the price by her new and unqualified and very rude staff. While she was raged with anger, She also mentioned " that's how this office operates" Oh by way !!!! There were another patient ahead of us, which I notice were treated exactly the same way we were treated. I guess that's the only way DR. HAMPARIAN is treating her patients. Unprofessional and rude!!!!!!! read more

My entire family and I have been with Dr. Hamparian for over 10 years and there is no one else I would trust more. I recently went in for an exam for new glasses and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Hamparian is just the best. She is intelligent and extremely thorough. She makes sure you are comfortable and answers all your questions or concerns. By far the nicest looking office -- brand new and they have the latest equipment. The staff is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to make sure you taken care of and make sure you are seen immediately. The optometrist, Dr. Michael Lews, is amazing. He carries a great selection of the latest styles of frames and for a great price. He is extremely nice and straightforward and makes sure you get lenses that best suit your needs. And they have the best price. I shopped everywhere for a specific style of Tom Ford glasses and they were significantly cheaper. Thank you Dr. Hamparian and Dr. Lewis and the the entire SoCal Vision Team!! read more

Office was clean. They saw me at my appointment time and didn't have me wait very much. The eye check up was specific and I felt taken care of. I got an eye exam, ordered contacts plus got a new pair of glasses. They open specific Saturdays, not all, so that's always nice and accommodating so you don't have to leave work early on week days. The only thing I didn't like was the pricing. My contact lenses were $180 for only half a year. My new eye care doctor got the same lenses for $160 for a whole year plus $100 rebate back. The glasses selection was also a bit expensive. The first few pairs they showed me were all $400+. read more

Dr. Hamparian really knows what she is doing. I have utmost confidence in her and would definitely recommend her as a specialist you can trust in. read more

I'll tell about my cataract laser assisted experience with Dr. Hamparian and Michail a little later.

I remember bringing my father here as an emergency patient because his regular eye doctor does not want to see him or give him his glaucoma medication prescription without the insurance approval. Dr Hamparian saved my Dad and she is very understanding. The clinic is clean and the staff are very accommodating. read more

My waiting time and appointment took about 3.5 hours but did not solve anything. Dr. Hamparian could not explain anything and could not make a decision about how to fix a very common problem. She wanted me to come back in one month. When I asked her what would change in a month she could not come up with an answer. When I received a high billing amount, it was clear why she wanted to see me again, and again :). I went to another doctor who was the opposite of Dr. Hamparian: she clearly explained what needed to be done and performed a 5-minute laser procedure with much success. I do not recommend Dr. Hamparian. read more

I came to see Dr. Mireille Hamparian for a scratched cornea and found the experience very pleasant. The office was clean and neat, the staff was friendly and courteous. The visit was efficient, I was roomed in a timely manner. The doctor was friendly and exuded confidence. I felt that she asked the right questions. She was gentle and explained everything clearly. In any event, my discomfort was placed to ease and I can still see (not that my vision was in danger). Anyhow, positive experience all around. read more

You know when you go to see a doctor you don't necessarily expect thoughtful and caring treatment. But I do have to say how pleased I was at the treatment I received by Dr. Hamparian. She took her time with me, made sure all my questions were answered and her office staff took care of all the paperwork. I would highly recommend Dr. Hamparian. read more

This office is very clean and neat. I heard good things about this office. Honestly, the prices are very good but just the type of glasses you want can be expensive. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Hamparian for a couple years now. She diagnosed my eye disease and she's been amazing. I adore her. They have a new office complete with an eyeglass section and this year, I bought my glasses from them. I'm very happy with the exam, the glasses, everything. If you're in need of an eye specialist and new glasses, I totally recommend! read more

My parents and I travel 90 miles to see Dr Hamparian and her staff. I feel she provides the best vision care.

They run the practice like a well oiled machine! The Optometrist, Mike is always there providing his customized eyeglass fittings and assist the staff with patients What a team! The 90 mile drive is well worth it! Cindy read more

Couldn't have had a better experience. Glasses and lenses are perfection. I can finally see!

I have had a number of eye issues over the last several years and have found that I can always count on Dr. Hamparian for prompt and professional care. She has gone, on a number of occasions, out of her way to make sure my visits to her office are pleasant. I recommend her to my family and friends. read more
