The comprehensive tests and machines used are top notch. She does different tests than what my former optometrists have done. Dr. Choi is knowledgeable and is very compassionate in what she does, and she knows how to pick out a frame and color to match your face. She picked a frame for me, but I wanted to try a few others. I ended up getting the frame she picked out. She was able to cut lens for my old frames as well, which was awesome! This office is very clean and gorgeous, and it has a great selection of frames to choose from. I love the brands they carry here. When I visit, there's typically parking in the free parking lot.

I was forced to go to The HMO optician who did not have the state-of-the-art equipment that she uses and did not have the patience or the ability she has.

She was able to get me to 20/20 and I will be forever grateful! Go to the best, there is no other!

Upon contacting them, I was able to quickly and easily make an appointment to be seen. Within a few minutes of speaking with the receptionist, I received an email with a link to complete the new patient forms. It was recommended to complete online to expedite my upcoming visit. Just like over the phone during my initial call, the staff was incredibly friendly, professional and efficient. Shortly after checking in, I was whisked away to begin the eye exam where I was helped by the optometrist's assistant Max, who was great! Next, I was seen by Dr. Pham, who completed the exam. She was super friendly and thorough. She was not rushed and took the time to answer my questions. Last, but certainly not least, I was then escorted to pick out and get fitted for glasses by Wendy. Not only was Wendy friendly and professional, but she was SO helpful in helping me understand my insurance benefits. Again, I was not rushed. In fact, she encouraged me to take my time, so that I could find the right pair of glasses. Plus, she went over all of the lens options, which was very helpful! All in all, it was an outstanding experience, which was executed by a very well-trained, friendly and professional staff. I highly recommend Manhattan Beach Vision group!

DANGEROUS MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE. THIS IS A UNCARING CORPORATE FACTORY POSING AS A SMALL LOCAL…read moreBUSINESS. Warning to the South Bay: This is NOT the local, caring optometry office it pretends to be. They are part of VSP Ventures, a massive corporate giant (Google it & see attached pic), and it shows. They treat patients like numbers on a spreadsheet, not humans and repeatedly got my eye exams wrong. The Negligence: For six years, they failed to diagnose a standard condition I've had since 2017. In July 2025, Dr. Lee removed my astigmatism correction entirely. When I explicitly told her I couldn't see and questioned the prescription, I was dismissed. A manager promised to call me back--no one ever did. The Result: I spent months driving with dangerous, blurry vision and wasted over $3,000 on 9 pairs of useless glasses because I thought better glasses would help me, but the problem was their incompetence. I finally went to a new independent doctor (Leaf Optometry), who immediately diagnosed the issue and confirmed Manhattan Beach Vision Group has been getting it wrong for years after looking over all my previous prescriptions. Do not trust your eyes to this factory. They care about volume, not accuracy. Go to a real local doctor who actually listens and cares.

Due to the pandemic I've spent so much more time behind a screen because of virtual meetings and classrooms. My eyes have been straining and causing headaches. I finally made the decision to get Lasik and it was the best decision I've ever made. I was so nervous and almost cancelled my appointment because my surgery day was the day before Christmas Eve and didn't want to spend a whole week recovering. Surprisingly I rested the whole day of my surgery and pretty much slept all day and woke up the following day as if nothing even happened plus I was able to see CLEARLY! I was so fascinated and extremely impressed by how fast, pain free, and quick the procedure was. I definitely highly recommend Dr.Semel if you're looking into finding the right ophthalmologist to do your Lasik procedure - she is the one ! Thank you to the manager, Paula for making me feel so comfortable and encouraging me to do Lasik with Dr.Semel. I love waking up and being able to see everything, especially being able to fall asleep during a movie.

I hadn't heard a word from the office so I called right about May 10th. I was told we need to set up surgery dates. I said I thought we had dates for June 2nd & 9th. Apparently there was a surgery date for June 2nd & the June 9th date needed to be set up. I had a batch of appointments made during this phone call. I was also told at the time I needed to come in to the office or go to the pharmacy for eye drops, wipes and a face mask. I came into the office the next day and paid $60 for the items. I also asked while at the office how much the out of pocket costs will be. I was told they would find out the out of pocket costs the next day. On May 18th I had my doctors appointment for surgery approval & paid $25 for a co pay. I go back to the Dr Semel office May 19 for my pre op appointment. After the procedure I again asked before I left what will the out of pocket costs be. I was told my insurance will pay for surgery. However to get the surgery done to get rid of my glasses will be $5,500 for each eye. I then had to cancel all the appointments. I can't commit to a $11,000 payment right now. I should've been told this information when I came in for my first appointment. What a waste of everybody's time & money

After a few different times in the last decade, thinking I had finally found a decent optometrist,…read moredespite a few early warning signs, and going to several where I knew immediately I was never coming back, we finally found the most awesome optometrist AND staff at Look! Before coming here, we were looking for the right doctor to help manage my son's myopia. For this particular need, we had been to 2 different doctors in the South Bay, each with limited experience in myopia management and each very focused on the dollars coming in, more than the service and finding the right program regimen for my son to lead to the best chance for desired results. I shopped around and "interviewed" over a half dozen optometrists about how they manage myopia with children. Dr. Stybel takes the best approach, in my opinion, and he has a wealth of experience and knowledge that he delivers professionally and with care in providing excellent customer service. His demeanor and service philosophy obviously flows to his (and the other doctor's (who also seems fantastic) team. So often, I have found great doctors of all sorts, but a frustrating office, but not here! They are completely wonderful! They may not be the cheapest around, but they seem honestly the best value, with phenomenal expertise and care. I enthusiastically recommend Look! Optometry!
