Had an emergency where i could have literally lost my eye, i knew ER would be pretty much useless for my case and Doctor Wong took me in almost last minute. He is very professional, extremely skilled and courteous, and most definitely reasonably priced. He basically saved my eye in a matter of minutes! highly recommended read more

Dr. Timothy Wong is hands down the best doctor I've ever been to. I was dealing with a sudden concern about my eye and reached out, hoping to get seen quickly. He gave me an appointment at the last minute and treated me with genuine kindness from the moment I arrived. He never made me feel rushed, never brushed off my concerns, and it was clear that he truly cares about his patients. His empathy, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring energy stood out in a way you don't often find in healthcare anymore. For me, this wasn't just an appointment; it was the kind of experience that earns lasting trust. As long as Dr. Wong is in practice, he's the only eye doctor I'll go to. If you're looking for someone who listens, cares, and truly wants the best for you--Dr. Wong is that person. read more

Been a patient of his for 3 years now. He is still the BEST ! A very nice and caring Dr. He is very Knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommended read more

I very much like Dr. Wong. I have a very "complicated" prescription for my eyes and he handles it all. He also combines the prescription with a thorough eye exam. (I had been checking other places and many handle just one or the other.) Super personable and seems to have all the current new tools -- no dilation or puffs of air. Not cheap but my Medicare covered half of it so all good. Definitely recommend. read more

Dr. Wong is great! He's very thorough, really dials in my correction, and he's very personable. I've been there twice now and I'm very very happy. The only thing I'd watch out for is the parking lot in back is fairly pricey. It can easily run 20 bucks or more. If you can't find street parking, the lot is convenient and Dr. Wong is well worth it! read more

Dr. Wong is incredible! He really cares about your eye health and provides the best service possible. He was able to identify issues in my eyes that other doctors hadn't alerted me about and we worked through the best options for me. Rachel is also the best. She runs that office like no one else and always has a smile on her face. No matter how much time passes, she always remembers you. I couldn't recommend Dr. Wong more. I've sent friends his way and they've been very pleased with his service. read more

What a wonderful experience. Dr Wong is the perfect mix of incredibly knowledgeable and thorough with impeccable bedside manner and speaking in digestible terms. Personally, eyecare has always been taxing on me and Dr Wong has eliminated all prior reservations. You cannot ask for more in a Dr nor a human. read more

Dr. Wong is kind, informed and very professional. He genuinely cares about his patients. My family and I have seen him for many years. My son needed glasses for a couple of years when he was younger. Dr Wong gave him corrective glasses and now his eyesight is perfect. He has also cared for my mother who moved down from Santa Barbara. Receptionist is friendly and competent too with scheduling and letting us know when our glasses are available for pickup or mailing for convenience. read more

Dr. Wong was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering all my questions. Gave me a full checkup on my eyes and recommended tips which were real helpful, he will be my OD from now on. Satisfied with my eye checkup Even though I paid out of pocket, they do take insurance. Parking is super expensive there so I do suggest park in the meters, although parking isn't hard to find outside of this facility which is also another plus! Totally recommend this place read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Wong and his office. I came here for an eye health checkup and to get new prescriptions for both glasses and contacts. When I got my glasses with the new lenses, for some reason I felt they weren't quite right--Dr. Wong informed me than an optometrist in the past had given me a prescription that was slightly too strong for me, and I had grown accustomed to that, which is why the new lenses seemed off. Even so, he took the glasses back and re-did them, ensuring I was happy with the result. I also had to try several different pairs of contact lenses before I found one that was just right (I guess I'm picky!). Dr. Wong was very patient with me while I tried to figure out which lenses I wanted. He is an extremely thoughtful and caring provider, and really wants the best possible result for each of his patients. He even stayed late after 5pm on a Friday evening to accommodate me once, knowing that with my work schedule, I have a hard time coming in during normal business hours. He really went above and beyond for me. His receptionist, Rachel, is wonderful as well. I will definitely keep coming here and have recommended Dr. Wong to several of my friends. As a side note, I recommend finding a metered parking spot as the nearby parking garage is very expensive. read more

Dr. Wong has been my optometrist for several years now and he is both a very competent and kind man. His office staff person, Rachel, is a sweetheart and always remembers your name. I couldn't be happier with this practice and I recommend it to my family and friends. read more

I went to Dr. Wong for an eye exam and ended up getting some glasses. He was very professional and took the time to explain all the tests and results to me. The rest of the staff was very helpful as well. I got my new glasses within the week. read more

I LOVE Dr Wong. Work on computers all day, and he was the FIRST eye doctor to suggest special glasses for the computer to take the strain off my eyes. Not "blue blockers". Like real corrective assistance. Changed my work life forever. SO grateful. My husband has been seeing him almost 20 years. THE BEST. Love Rachel too. Always an extra treat when we see her. read more

Awesome doctor and amazing customer service. Highly recommend if you are looking a highly educated eye doctor that really knows his stuff!

I love going to Dr. Wong for my eye doctor needs. He is kind and knowledgeable and explains things when I have questions. The office manager Rachel is amazing. Personable, smart and responsive. She always follows up when she says she will. The office is nice and they have a good selection of eyeglasses to choose from. I get my contacts there, too. read more

See all

5 months still waiting for my glasses. Front office staff is RUDE beyond belief ! She is a falling Star in book if i could remove the one star rating i would replace it with a ( -1 ) Star. They have been paid for their services and my glasses. Receptionist says she is not going to sit on phone wasting time to get an estimate and refuses to supply a phone number that i myself could call. Dr Wong himself 10 stars but i can't and won't gave a referral to this office because of the Rude and unprofessional staff read more

Welcome to the first review I've ever posted! That's how good Dr. Wong is. High level: 1. Say goodbye to dilated eyes! State of the art equipment means dilation is a thing of the past. 2. He found issues with my eyes other Drs missed. 3. He explains his findings intellectually yet simply. The office: It's simple, clean, and has a selection of eye glasses to browse if you're looking for the latest pair. The front desk lady (I forget her name, but this review is more about Dr. Wong) is friendly, quick, and a memory to boot. I went over a year between eye exams and she instantly remembered me over the phone. The experience: I urgently visited a different eye Dr. while out of state due to a peculiar vision issue with my right eye. That Dr. couldn't see anything wrong and referred me to a specialist. Instead, I decided to visit Dr. Wong the moment I got back into town. He was genuinely curious about my issue, which showed the passion he has for his work. After running a few tests he was able to find a very small scar in my cornea, explained what that meant, and the healing process going forward. Thankfully, I'll live. The overall: For a regular eye check, Dr. Wong has a machine that takes the place of dilating eyes. That, coupled with a very knowledgeable and intelligent Dr., make Dr. Wong the best eye Dr. I've ever had. And the best you'll ever have, too. read more

I can't say enough good things! Found Dr. Wong on Yelp, thanks guys! He's an optics nerd. I appreciate nerds. I really like when you can have an intellectual conversation with a doctor. He doesn't assume you're a moron and actually explains things to you-- how the eye works, etc. This makes him extremely likable, almost like a favorite teacher! And the office staff is great too! All too often, people that work in medical offices hate their lives and are rude and mean on the phone and/or in person. Not the case here. 5 stars all the way! Oh, and they take appointments on Saturdays, but you have to call and ask about it. I think they do every other Saturday. Good stuff. read more

Timothy C Wong, OD - The glasses room - Optometrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What a complete A-hole. Was rude and refused to speak to my insurance company to get the info he needed to cover my glasses. He doesn't have a receptionist and seems completely mad at the world. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM!!!! read more

Dr. Wong is absolutely wonderful. He diagnosed the problem within a few minutes. He is kind with a great sense of humor. He is well informed and compassionate. I love the staff at the office. Wonderful office and staff. read more

I called to inquire about the turnaround time for glasses and the receptionist was rude as hell. Since i didnt schedule an appointment or anything, she straight up just hung up the phone. No "thank you" or "bye". Wouldn't choose this place after that interaction. read more

My first visit was my first visit to the optometrist in a while. He was very nice and I got a pair of reading glasses for the computer. Love the style and we're very reasonable. He talked though all the options and very helpful. A few months later I was having a lot of eye pain and since I work in the same building I walked in without an appointment and asked if he had any breaks in the day where I could pop in. It was a good time then and he was able to see something maybe makeup or debris was in my eye. He flushed it out and prescribed me some drops. The drops were to be put in every 4 hours and since I was still at work he told me to come back up and he could use his supply until I get mine filled. I was really surprised how above and beyond he went to make sure I was feeling better. About a week late it was still hurting a bit which was probably normal but my paranoia got the best of me and I went back up. He took again and was very through. He said there was nothing in there but still irritated from the previous debris. I was put at ease and glad to know that my eyes are in great hands. Also his receptionist is an amazing person! Super friendly and so helpful! Don't let the paper charts fool you she has it all locked down and is super organized. One of the drops he prescribed was a little pricy and he gave me some coupons and looked up different ways to get it for cheaper if insurance wouldn't cover it. They are both very helpful that way and I feel like they are super honest and really there to help the patient. read more

I absolutely recommend Dr Wong! I found him through my VSP insurance site, and am glad I did. He was so nice and helped explain a lot about my eyesight and recommendations. Staff is super friendly and responsive, and the glasses I ordered came in super quickly! read more

Dr. Wong is hands down the best. I've worn glasses for 30 years and have been to many eye doctors, but none compare to him. He is thorough and explains everything. No rush. And very nice. He and his staff are top notch. read more

Dr. Wong explains everything clearly and answered all my questions. Overall experience was amazing.

I rarely ever write reviews, but Dr. Wong and Office Manager Rachel are the best and deserve it. Dr. Wong has of way of making me feel like I'm acing a test every time he gives me an exam and it's so nice to have a doctor that cares after a few years of having other doctors that don't care at all. Rachel treats you like you're just a family friend when you walk in and that is comforting as well. Definitely have found my doctor until I move out of the area. read more

I've changed general practitioners and dentists multiple times since moving to LA but Dr Wong is my one and only eye doc! He's knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and really down-to-earth. Appointments are a breeze- he never, ever makes you wait for than four minutes (in my experience) - and spends all the time you need with you. 10 out 10 for Dr. Wong. read more

Well, I am adding yet another 5-star review to Dr. Wong's Yelp stats. The bottom line is Dr. Wong is fantastic. I went to an optometrist once years ago, but my vision has begun to deteriorate over the last couple years. This becomes even more apparent when you go to the DMV and the guy asks you multiple times if you're sure you don't where glasses. So, this past week I researched and saw how many great reviews Dr. Wong had and decided to give him a shot. The building is easy enough to find -- afterall, it says CNN in large red letters. Unfortunately, it is in Hollywood -- the bane of my existence. There is street parking, but I prefer to park in the garage at Arclight and not stress whether I am going to get a ticket. It's $1.50 each half hour so you're looking at about $3.00 for parking. Arriving about a half hour before my appointment, I expected to have to wait for a long time. But fortunately, not at all. I was really surprised. I got in practically right away. Dr. Wong says he is very careful not to overbook. As other Yelpers have said, Dr. Wong really takes the time to explain what's going on. He also is eager to find out more about you and takes the time to get to know you as a person and not just a patient. And when my exam was done, he spent over a half hour while I tried to pick out a pair of glasses. He made great suggestions, we had a few laughs, talked about Drew Carey, and was extremely patient as I went thru pair after pair. When I finally decided on a pair, he told me they would be ready for me to pick-up next week. They were ready a couple days later for me to pick-up. I look like a dork, but I never knew the world was so clear. I actually feel like I have supernatural powers. I can see so far -- it's amazing! So, thank you Dr. Wong! read more

Dr. Wong is a terrific optometrist. He's very thorough and does an excellent job. However, the receptionist (whom is the primary contact and face of the office) leaves a lot to be desired. A very nice person, yes. But it seems she cannot adequately handle the operations of the office by herself. This is a major pain which now has sent me searching for a new optometrist. Sorry, Dr. Wong... read more

Believe the hype! Dr. Wong is amazing, caring, everything that people have detailed below. I'm pretty skeptical of yelp reviews and I almost never do them myself but my experience with Dr. Wong and the front desk was so excellent, I had to share. I'm always anxious about a trip to the doctor but Dr. Wong made me feel as at ease as I get and I am so grateful for him. He's the best, do it! read more

My boyfriend had injured his eye the other day -- we found out later he had gouged a piece of his cornea out -- and were scrambling to find a doctor to help him. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even open his eye, let alone see. After traveling to an urgent care facility and being informed that the doctor was unavailable we tried Dr. Wong's office. The girl at the front understood how freaked out I was for my boyfriend and informed us that we could come in without and appointment. We waited less than ten minutes to be seen and after another ten minutes we were on our way. My boyfriend had medication, a contact-bandaid on his eye and I was insanely relieved that his eyesight hadn't been damaged. Dr. Wong was very understanding and easy going. I've now scheduled an eye exam with him to renew my prescription and I'm sure he won't let me down. read more

I use yelp for everything... naturally I surfed it to find my new eye doctor. Dr. Wong's yelp reviews are STELLAR and on top of that, he was recommended to me by Sung from Eyetailor for an eye exam. Usually visiting new doctors are no fun, but if I can convince you how rad Dr. Wong is by typing OBNOXIOUSLY IN ALL CAPPPPPPPS.... I WOULD!!! Utterly professional, kind, patient, gentle, informative and he even taught me how the eyes function...etc!! The best the best. While his office is not the most super-high tech, remodeled up-to-date, Dr. Wong excellent bedside manner more than made-up for it. Do we really need another shiny doctor's office with mediocre service? NO! He even gave me eyedrops after finding out I STARE at computers too long everyday. Horay for Dr. Wong! read more

If you can't read this line, you should just go here, and get that fixed. I have been a not-so-proud member of the 4 eyes tribe since getting a lovely eye infection from contacts on a hiking trip. I have come to expect that most visits to optometrists are close to dental cleanings on the fun level, with at least 30 minutes of eyeball rolling "1 or 2", "3 or 4..which is better tedium as well a person about as interested in vision as I am in what they had for lunch. Dr. Wong is not that breed, truly a vision geek who seems really passionate about what he does. Getting an appointment was friendly and quick. I was able to schedule a time for both me and my girlfriend to get eyeballs measured. It's on the 7th floor and you'll need to signin. The office smallish ~ 4 rooms, 1 for glasses, 1 for waiting, 2 for doctors. I braced myself in getting a new prescription as I was told by lenscrafters that I could no longer get rimless as my prescription was too strong, and second that they could only get me 20/20 prescription for driving, when I really wanted a weaker pair for the most of my day looking 2" away at a computer monitor...Dr. Wong looked at me like I was crosseyed, and said no problem on the rimless just get high index, and second after doing some quick mental calculations gave me a "computer prescription"...yippie. He even measured the IPD 2 times for the 2 prescriptions. My girlfriend found out from Dr. Wong that ...she doens't use one of her eyes hardly at all, which explains why 3d movies aren't so cool to her. The frame selection was small, they offer higher end hoya lenses at typical new costs $40-$300 for frame, $200+ for lenses+coatings, but I had decided to get frame and lenses someplace else: Ebay is a great place to find last years models at 1/2-1/8 of this years, and there are a couple places that will do lenses or whole things for much less. As I wanted rimless, I ended up going with eyebuydirect for about $140 with the high end 1.7 index lens. If that doesn't work out I may try a zeiss practitioner with more complex "HD" lens carving. Which I'll save for another day. If your going to go, It's not a bad thing to turn it into an afternoon adventure, Dr. Wong's office is near sunset and vine which has a couple good burger (so burger), grilled cheese (the melt), and other edibles (tender greens) and caffinene (ground works) as is Amoeba records and Arclight, both of which might be other places to park. Parking for 2.75 hours was relatively easy in the CNN building, but the attendant will tell you where to park in tandem parking, it was a bit pricey about $16, but the street meters right by are all limited to 1hr. read more

I made an appointment based on the reviews I'd read on Yelp and I can now say that I love Dr. Wong! His office is convenient, at Sunset + Cahuenga in the CNN building. You can park on the street or in the lot. The girl who works the front office is super sweet. The doctor is very nice and professional. I explained that I just wanted to get an eye exam, but would find glasses online. He had no problem with that. Said they weren't about the 'hard sell. The eye exam is only $79, which is very reasonable. He gave me my prescription so I can order glasses online. But honestly, he was so great, if they had the style of reading glasses in the office, I would have considered spending a bit more and buying them from Dr. Wong. read more

5 stars for an Optometrist? Absolutely! Dr Wong and Rachel are THE best! I found his office via yelp and luckily he was in my insurance plan. All the other reviews here are dead on. You won't go anywhere else after you go here once. They are very accommodating with scheduling along with being very professional/educational yet laid back/friendly enough that you'll love the entire experience. Park in the Arclight garage, walk over to the CNN Building, say hi to Larry King in the elevator on the way up to Suite 703 & then hit up a movie after seeing Dr Wong and Rachel! read more

I have been using Dr. Wong for years and will continue to do so. He and his staff (Rachel) are very knowledgable and sociable. He is also very attentive and straight forward with his results. If you have frames you need lenses replaced they will accomedate you. He also carries many well known brands at reasonable prices. Don't Hesitate to Use Dr. Wong! read more

This review has been a loooooong time coming. Dr. Wong is simply AMAZING, and so incredibly awesome on so many levels. If I could give TEN STARS I would! *Yes, this is a review for an eye doctor* I came in initially because I wanted to get a second opinion on an eye condition I thought I had. I have a crappy HMO with crappy HMO doctors, and Dr. Wong got good reviews on Yelp so I very easily made an appointment to see him within a day or two, versus the weeks/months Kaiser often makes me wait. He was extremely patient and helped to answer all my questions and put me at ease. I liked Dr. Wong so much, that I went back when I got an eye infection. This was the eye infection from hell. I had FOUR subsequent infections in the span of about 1-2 months. The infection kept recurring and (almost) each time I went back to see Dr. Wong...he was just as puzzled and concerned as I was. (The infection is finally gone as I have switched to daily disposable contacts). But Dr. Wong helped me through the whole ordeal. He was always available to make quick appointments with, and even said NO CHARGE for certain visits/medications. I guess he felt bad for this poor non-profit working girl who couldn't stop her dirty habits and getting re-infected again and again...*yes we are still talking about eyes, people!* Anyway! I have also ordered contacts through Dr. Wong...when I switched to dailies he was awesome enough to refund my money on the unopened boxes of the long-term contacts I had just purchased from him! Payment has always been a breeze and I never really felt like I was being ripped off like most people do when they see doctors/specialists..(although his prices do fluctuate? It's not all spelled out what certain charges are for...this is my only knock on Dr. Wong). His receptionist Rachel is wonderful as well -- she will most likely remember you when you call, and not treat you like patient #316986. There is definitely a personal touch when you go to see Dr. Wong because yes, his office and staff is teeny tiny. As the icing on the cake, Dr. Wong did a very amazing personal favor for me, and the fact that he said yes makes him one of the coolest doctors, scratch that, coolest PEOPLE I know. Thanks Dr. Wong!!! read more

With all of the great reviews, how could I not visit Dr. Wong when I needed a new eye doctor? Dr. Wong fully lives up to all of the other Yelpers' reviews. He is kind, caring, funny, and has a strong desire to educate his patients. He let me try a new contact lens that helps me see better than ever...AND he found that my glasses, although technically the "correct" prescription, didn't give me the sharpest vision. Also, he used this weird looking glasses thingy-bob with changeable lenses to make sure that the new prescription that he gave me worked the best for me. I was happy with the selection and prices of frames, although I don't wear glasses most of the time so I don't need the super-expensive designer frames. I parked on the street with no problem, so make sure to bring quarters! read more

Did you know if you stare at a computer at your job for long periods of time you should probably get computer glasses so that your eyes don't get tired? Did you know that there was such a thing as computer glasses? That, and a myriad of eye facts are what my last experience was like at Dr. Wong's office. I've never met someone so incredibly knowledgeable, and friendly when it comes to my eyes. Dr. Wong took the time to explain why my prescription chagned, how to prevent my chidlren from needing glasses and making sure I got my bang for my buck when it came to my insurance. If you have VSP insurance, this is the eye doctor to come to. read more

Simple and thorough optometrist. The office does seems outdated, but you go for your eyes and that is what really matters. Dr. Wong is kind and really at ease. I didn't catch the name of the receptionist, but she was nice and let me know if I had any problems to come right back and they would help me out. She even remembered my name, which I thought was very nice. No frills. Perfect. read more
