There is not enough room to say all the great things about Dr. Wheadon, but I feel so lucky and grateful that he is my optometrist. He takes so much time with me, and I know he truly cares about doing the best he can for every patient. Aside from his brilliance, he is kind, compassionate, and very focused. He has taken very good care of me, and he also guided me on how to get vision insurance, which has really helped. I wish there were more like him. Thank you, Laura S. read more

My experience at this place has been consistently and very subpar. Any materials I've ordered (contacts, glasses) have been messed-up or delayed without ANY concern by the doctor or his staff. From my experience, once they get your money, they couldn't care less. Everything here is disorganized and the customer service is among the worst I've received, in addition to the terrible experience of buying any materials. There are so many *good* eye doctors in WeHo, so no need to settle for D-class service. read more

Dr. Whedon is one of the nicest, kindest, brightest optometrists that I have ever met. He actually answered the phone when I called, and was able to help me right away. He was able to get me in the same day, and I left for my trip extremely happy and I could see! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Wheadon and his staff. His office is in a very convenient location, and he has state of the art equipment as well. read more

Intelligent, professional, caring great referral. First rate. I would definitely recommend him

Only the best OD in West Hollywood. Great bed side manor and he really cares about every patient that walks through his doors. I've always had problems with glasses since I turned 40 not being able to use the Progressive because it's been wrong but since I've been using him as a doctor my glasses fit great I can see amazing out of them and they look great on me. So hands down the best. Don't go anywhere else. You get what you pay for. Being able to see with comfortable and correct glasses or contacts is very important. Also he is not bad to look at. Very Handsome!!!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Wheadon for over 30 years. He is beyond excellent. I am a difficult fit and he always comes through for me. He is extremely knowledgable and well educated in his field. I have complete trust in his care. read more

Dr. Wheadon is the man. Best optometrist I've ever had. I went in for an emergency appointment because I suddenly couldn't see very well when driving one night and he thoroughly evaluated the issue and got me into an Rx that worked well for me. He did all of the post follow up care after my lasik surgery with another Dr. I really trust dr. Wheadon and he takes the time to understand your issue and give you the best treatment. I've been seeing him at least 3 years now and recommend him to all my family and friends. No billing surprises and a very knowledgeable optometrist. Highly recommend him! read more

Wes Wheadon is a fantastic Doctor, however the customer service is terrible. George Esparza, the optician on the team who heads up sales and service is cantankerous, condescending and unpleasant in addition to being disorganized. I purchased 2 pairs of glasses, which came weeks after the promised delivery date, and my sunglasses which which cost a pretty penny, lost all their color and went from dark green to beige. When I went back to see George, he said this was standard after a year, and I if had purchased anti-reflective coating , he would have replaced them. I did purchase AR coating on my regular glasses, but as you can imagine why would one purchase AR coating on sunglasses you do not wear when you are working on the computer? I was never told the color on prescription sunglass lenses would fade(in a year!), nor did George suggest I purchase AR coating on them at time of purchase. So essentially i am out $500, was served a side of George's unpleasant bedside manner, brushed off and shuffled out the front door. Lesson Learned...See Dr Wheadon, get your glasses elsewhere. read more

My daughter is not a patient of Dr. Wheadon, she is a patient of another optometrist very near by. That's important to note because I walked into Dr. Wheadon's office to have her glasses fixed thinking I walked into my daughter's regular doctor's office. They were busy when I arrived but Dr. Wheadon saw I was waiting and used a lull with a patient to ask me what I needed. I told him my daughter was a patient and her glasses were missing a piece that holds the left lens in and could he fix that for me? He replied, "certainly." He disappeared for a few moments and came back and said, "Here you go, all fixed with a better piece in there than the original but btw your daughter is not a patient here." I was confused and said, "Really?" I repeated her name and he graciously laughed and said, "No, from the frame I know your daughter is a patient at (other place here)." Of course he was right. Both places are so close to each other it's easy to confuse them if you're half paying attention as I was when I walked up. He did not charge me anything for the repair and couldn't have been more gracious. He could have easily said, "wrong place, go to your regular place up the street" and that would not have been the least bit rude on his part. Instead, he extended his kindness and took the time to do something for one of his competitor's patients. Seriously, who does that? A+++ customer service. I'm very grateful and impressed. Thank you! read more

Dr. Wheadon and his staff are just amazing! They are all very sweet. They're very friendly and helpful. I love them! He is super considerate; it's rare from any doctor. He has several suggestions for various issues and helps you to understand and choose the best that suits your needs and budget. They have a good choice of frames and if they don't have one you like, they can order something for you within 2 weeks. My husband actually switched from another doctor and now he also sees Dr. Wheadon and we're both very happy with the service we're getting here. Naturally, it helps that he accepts our vision coverage, so we actually can save lots of money by seeing him. We couldn't recommend a better eye doctor. read more

I am so glad I found Dr. Wheadon in my west Hollywood neighborhood. He is so knowledgeable and friendly, going out of his way to help me find the perfect contact lens for distance and reading. I couldn't be happier. I always liked my other eye doctor but he never had the knowledge of all these wonderful options like this doctor does. On top of all that, I never have to wait very long at his office. That is his policy, to not make people wait. I highly recommend you give him a try! read more

I highly recommend and stand behind Dr. Wheadon's service as he has saved me money, time and from excruciating eye pain. I went in this past Wednesday as there was something underneath my eye ball causing irritation and what became extreme discomfort. I did not have an appointment but I explained what the situation was and they agreed to see me immediately. I waited less than 10 minutes, the doctor put my through a quick eye exam, saw that there was a hair growing inside my eyelid and promptly removed what he thought was most of it. The pain was gone but soon returned the next day when the hair protruded out once again. I called the doctors emergency cell # and he dropped what he was doing (ice skating practice) and came to the office to meet me in under and hour. He had arranged an ophthalmologist appointment for free if this second treatment didn't work and thankfully it did. It was less swollen the second day so he was able to get the entire hair follicle out. He gave me numbing drops and a soft gel contact to help heal the eye overnight. He even called the next day to make sure I was okay. All of this service cost me a very minimal fee (only for the first day) and I'm submitting to insurance to cover. Amazing attention to detail and care. Thank you again Dr. Wheadon read more

Came in for an emergency, last minute eyeglass repair. Barbara promptly took them, repaired them AND some sunglasses. Took less than 5 minutes. I'm sure they have bigger things to do but I really appreciate a local business that is so helpful! read more

Great doctor. Takes the time to explain things in detail and does a thorough examination. Very caring and passionate about what he does. Highly recommended read more

Dr. Wes was generous with his time and service. He fixed my sunglasses free of charge and when I asked if I could then purchase some saline for my contacts he offered me a sample bottle. What a sweetheart. So, I had to buy some sexy green aviators. TOMS- they're gorgeous and I plan to stop by in the future just to say hello! The office is stylish, clean and comfortable. Thanks, Doc read more

I have recently visited Dr Wheadon's office and I am very impressed on how "welcoming and warm" the staff (Deah, Barb & George) made me feel! I had a delightful conversation with both George and Barb about the glasses that I picked out and upon picking it up - had a first class experience in custom fitting of my glasses. Even doctor Wheadon came out from the back to say "Hello" and to see how I liked my new glasses! I definitely left with a smile on my face and look forward to many years to come with Dr Wheadon and his friendly staff!!! I highly recommend!!! read more

Dr Wes Wheadon and his staff: George, Barbara and Deah, have taken care of my vision needs since 1999. I moved to the desert and my near vision was deteriorating rapidly. I knew I needed to get back into West Hollywood and seek his expert opinion on options to correct this problem. He's the only person I would trust to advise on such an important decision as I thought the recent advancements were unsure. Dr Wheadon knew precisely the steps to take and the Surgeon to see to perform cutting edge Multifocal clear lense replacement, he arranged the referral with appropriate notes and the eye Surgeon, his staff and surgery center were all AMAZING as well. I've just completed my 2 month followup and could not be happier with ZERO complications and 20/20 + unaided near and far vision. I highly recommend seeing Dr Wheadon for all your vision needs! read more

I've never felt compelled to write a Yelp review before, but I have had one too many needlessly unpleasant experiences with this office. Deah, the receptionist, is one of the rudest people I've ever encountered in a professional setting. I just got off the phone with her, and she was yet again unhelpful, misinformed, and rude for absolutely no reason. I've been a patient for 3 years, and I absolutely dread having to deal with Deah over the phone or in person. I've never had this experience before with any other medical office in my entire life. It's truly baffling. It's a shame, because I really like Dr. Wheadon. He is friendly, personable, helpful, caring, professional, and spends a great deal of time with his patients. Unfortunately, as a patient, you'll deal mostly with Deah, and she is horrible. She definitely ruins what would otherwise be a great experience. I would strongly encourage you to go elsewhere. read more

I have been going to Dr. Wheadon now since 2003. Dr. Wheadon and his staff make you feel like family. When I leave his office I feel confident I have gotten the best care. If you are in need of either getting your eyes checked or need a new prescription for your glasses, please make an appointment with him. You won't be sorry. C white read more

As for dr Wheadon - great guy and terrific dr. I have been a patient of his for a few years. However, like a few of the other posters, I find the staff a bit of a challenge and sometimes rude. More importantly very little about this business is designed with the patient/customer in mind. They are only open four days a week. When they are open they close from 12.30-1.30 for lunch...and they close at 5.30. This includes eye appointments AND picking up your glasses. So good luck if you work regular biz hours or work out of the neighborhood. I work in Burbank. There are also strict signs all over the retail shop and lobby forbidding cell phone use. Again not very helpful to people who are most likely in the middle of their work day. The exam room I understand but come into the 21st century guys and relax a little. Recommendations for a new eye doc?!?!? read more

I enjoy going to this optometrist very much. I feel welcomed when I go there. Dr. Wes is knowledgeable, thoughtful with patients, and explains in detail issues with your eyes so that you are informed. Deah and George have always been helpful, professional, and friendly folks who kept me updated on my contact orders. I do wish that the prices were just a bit lower, but they are good, nice, friendly, and a group that I trust : and that's hard to find! Worth the extra money that goes over my vision insurance allowance. read more

I've been going to Dr. Wheadon for years. He and his entire staff: George, Barbara and Deah have ALWAYS taken good care of me. Just went in for my yearly check up and he's got this new machine that analyzed the layers of my retina. According to Dr. Wheadon, I have the retina of a 20 year old. I told Dr. Wheadon I'd rather have the body of 20 year old...he said he's have to get back to me on that... read more

It is always a pleasure to go in and see Dr. Wheadon and his staff. Always professional and courteous. Thanks to going to Dr. Wheadon and getting the right glasses, I am able to do my work and enjoy everything else int he world. Plus, on my last visit I was told my eyes have improved and not gotten worse. read more

I've been going to Dr. Wheadon for most of my adult life. I hadn't been recently due to my own health issues. Upon returning for a checkup, I was reminded why Dr. Wheadon is so special. He takes one's total health and family history into consideration. I can honestly say that he's the most kind and thorough doctor I've had the honor to visit. He's interested in the overall health of his patients, and provides information in an accessible manner that is never condescending. Dr. Wheadon and his incredible staff work with such grace and compassion. read more

This is so tuff for me.... I never write reviews but I have to say this ..... I absolutely adore Dr. Wheadon .... He has the BEST bedside manner and is so gentle...... BUT HIS RECEPTIONIST is a WHOLE different story. I have NEVER experienced anything like it before....NO personality with a WHOLE LOT OF UNINTENDED ATTITUDE.....I do not even get it ......... I left there and for hours after felt her wrath!!!! So I do not know what to say ..... sad because Dr. Wheadon is so great!!!! And I would give him 5 stars but because of her I just cannot ....... read more

Excellent caregiver. He was able to identify several issues and so they can be corrected. I feel I am in the best hands! Looking forward to the future with him and corrected vision. read more

Wes has been my go-to eye doc for many years. He's terrific. It's always fun to go to the office and look at the great selection of glasses. But best of all, he makes me see! read more

Dr. Wheadon is uniquely amazing. Regardless of my concern; contacts, eye infection other, Dr. Wheadon always comes up with a solution and always makes time to see me. I couldn't be more pleased. His experience is obvious. I hope he never retires - really really good doctors are rare. Dr. Wheadon is one of those rare finds. read more

We have done business with Dr. Wheadon since 2007. Every experience has been very professional and we deal with Dr. Wheadon directly which makes every experience even better. I appreciate and highly recommend Dr. Wes Wheadon. Sincerely, Julie read more

It wouldn't be possible to recommend Dr. Wes Wheadon of West Hollywood more highly. He has been my eye doctor for many years. I have consistently received professional, excellent eye care. However, he recently exceeded his normal standard of care. During a three-day holiday weekend I developed eye trouble and realized I needed to see him asap. When I contacted him on Sunday morning he didn't hesitate to offer to meet with me at his office later that afternoon. Naturally I thanked him profusely. His response was, "This is what I do. I help people." Upon arriving at his office he was, not surprisingly, utterly gracious and caring. If you wish to see an eye doctor, you couldn't have a better experience than meeting with him. read more

I totally agree with "Consumer A". I've been going here for years and love Dr Wheadon but his receptionist is almost enough to stop me from returning. I absolutely dread having to call and make an appointment with her. One of the singularly most unpleasant people I have ever encountered. read more

I went into this location tonight just for a quick look at some glasses that I'm intersted in, and possibly make an eye oppointment. When I walked in the guy asked what I needed and looked at his watch. I kindly asked are you closing, he responded "yes in 6 minutes",it was actually 10 minutes because I looked at my watch. I said would you like me to leave, and he responds "no its ok to look around, but that's why we dim the lights so noone comes in." Well I thought that was extremely rude considering I could be a paying customer, and referral source. So I walked out. Never going back there again or referring any client's there. read more

Got my new glasses and they are just awesome. Thank you, George, Wes et al. Great job.

Dr. Wheadon was my optometrist for almost 7 years (I recently moved out of town). He is very good and friendly. I always feel that I am getting professional, high quality service from him. He also spends a lot of time getting to know and speaking with his patients. I read the one review about Deah. I actually kinda of like her personality and don't find it to be a problem. Her personality may not be for everyone, but I have been very satisfied with the service I have received from both Dr. Wheadon and his staff. I have recommended him to several of my friends (not sure if they followed up though). read more

My visit to Dr. Wheadon was great! He and his staff are very friendly and they took the time to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend visiting their office! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Wheadon and the entire staff. As a result of several eye conditions and surgery, it has for years been difficult to comfortably fit me with lenses and I have consulted several doctors. Dr. Wheadon is the first to find a solution. He worked with me over several follow-up appointments at no extra charge to find the best type and fit. I can wear lenses all day now without discomfort and could not be happier. I have seen many eye doctors in my life, but none with Dr. Wheadon's high level of expertise and willingness to work through challenges. read more

This is a completely unbiased review. I moved from NY to Los Angeles 6 weeks ago. I've been to the top rated contact specialist in NY but still was having trouble finding contacts that were right for me. I can honestly say that going to him was the best thing I could have done. On my first phone call to his office, I was able to get him on the line and we had a 10 minute conversation about my situation and he gave several options we could try. I saw him the next day and his first option was better than anything I had in the past, although we decided to also try gas permeables which I just got back home with. Two days ago, I poked my eye and was scared I scratched my cornea. I called Dr. Wes on his day off and he called me back immediately and told me how to proceed. My eye was better in 4 hours and today I saw him to pick up my new lenses and for him to check my eye. I believe his fees are very competitive and he has been extremely fair with me. Not only is he absolutely knowledgable, but he's a super nice and caring man, and his list of famous people that he has worked with, is quite impressive. I also found Deah and George to be very helpful and nice. I thoroughly recommend you go to Dr. Wes. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Wheadon's for many years now and I am so happy I found him. He was referred to me with the statement, "If Dr. Wheadon can't help you, no one can". How true that is! I have referred him to many others telling them the very same thing. He is the best Doctor I have ever met. He is incredibly knowledgable and a joy to see. He will take the time to get you the best results possible and he really listens and is concerned. He has figured out problems I had when no one else could, due to medication I was given by my general doctor, who didn't have a clue. When I first went to him, many years ago, three other optometrists were unable to give me clear vision but he did. He is known though out the city as the go to eye doctor and has worked with many happy patients over the years. His staff is the best as well. I look forward to seeing all of them when I have an appointment. Deah, his receptionist, is great at getting you in and helping you as well. I can't recommend this Doctor and his staff enough. They are the best ever! read more
