When asked to explain it she was unable to do so in a way I could understand. I would NOT RECOMMEND SEEING HER. ONTHE BRIGHT SIDE. PAUL the optician was the VERY BEST. He helped me with fitting my glasses to make them more comfortable. He was kind, smart and a joy to work with. CYNTHIA who was the manager of the Optical side she Was FANASTIC too. She helped me by answering all the questions I had about the office. She was so very KIND and UNDERSTANDING. I would definitely refer people to buy glasses there and get them fit by the fabulous duo Paul and Cynthia. They made my awful visit ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

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.

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

I'm letting you know right now that every review on here with more than 1 star is not a real…read morereview. This place is horrible. Long and truthful review incoming: The staff is not welcoming and warm like an eye doctor's office staff should be. If you have plans later that day, do not go to your appointment or you will miss your plans. They leave you in the waiting room for over an hour and say nothing to you until you get up and ask. Then you sit in a second waiting room where the same thing happens and the lady who sits at the desk next to the second waiting room is rude. I went in for a pterygium removal surgery. Joshi messed up my surgery causing scarring and an issue causing so much discomfort that I had to come back 3 days after my surgery for him to fix it. First off they did not even give me pain medication for recovery. They told me to go home and take tylenol and advil and no I am not embellishing. Anyways, He then had me sit in the chair to try and fix his mistake and used metal tweezers in my eye trying to grab and unfold the graft that he had messed up while I was under no medication. This caused me excruciating pain and it was like he did not care. He has ZERO bedside manner as a doctor and acts like you're a burden for having made an appointment, he is not thorough in his explanations and he rushes through everything. The surgery he did on my eye was so bad I had to go to a second doctor to fix the surgery and even that doctor said how poor a job Joshi did on my surgery. It cost $1700 for the surgery which I paid out of pocket. Then over the next two months I was sent a $505.50 bill for anesthesia, a $526.50 bill for cost of surgery, a $250.00 bill for being a new patient, and a $95.00 bill for...who even knows. If you care about your eyes, please do not let this doctor operate on you. Go see someone else and you will thank me later.

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!
