Mark Winston, OD

Dr. Winston has been my optometrist for about 3 years. That’s 3 annual exams, 1 eye dilation, 6 terrifying 100mph air puffs onto my eyeball, 3 red barns on a grassy hill, 8 boxes of contact lenses and today officially, 1 pair of BCBG glasses.
What’s great about doc is that he tries to get you the best possible value with what your vision insurance covers. Mine was just a $ 130 allowance towards whatever. He calculated it was best applied towards glasses and he was right. I ended up saving almost $ 100 after all was said and done. He also decided that I should just get the same contacts for both eyes because they’re only off by .25 in degree whereas other doctors in the past have continually jacked up my prescription by half to a whole point; seemingly to make my eyes weaker with each passing year!
In terms of patient manner, he is a conversationalist but not overly so. He remembers little things about you and answers any questions you have. Like, «What’s this test for, staring at this red barn on a grassy hill?»…“Curvature of your eye!” He replies. And «Is everyone terrified of this air puff machine like I am?»…“yes, everybody hates it.” LOL
He offers advice, refers you to other doctors if needed, and is overall very informative and cool. Front desk staff and the woman that helped me with my glasses were very nice. As long as I’m a So Cal resident, I will keep coming back.
Also, head to your right afterwards and load up at the bakery!!!

I’ve had my eyes checked here for over 7 years. The staff remembers me and if they have your frames available they can have your glasses done on site. Never had any problems with them and my prescription is always right. I had my eyes checked at another optometrist in the valley and came running back here because they had gotten it all wrong.

The Optometry office in the San Fernando valley. They will treat you like they Doing you a favor. Dr. WInston thanks to you and your staff for ruining by daughter Disney world vacation… I will Tell everyone I know not to Go to your office…

Dr. Winston is a very good optometrist. The office staff is very professional. With his help I have been able to keep my eyes healthy. I would recommend him to anyone.

Both my mother and I have been going to Dr. Winston for about ten years and have received excellent service. Dr. Winston is very knowledgeable and his staff is accommodating. I called last week and was able to get a Saturday appointment just a couple days later. I definitely recommend Dr. Winston!

I was having vision issues and was able to get a same day appointment w/​Dr. Winston. He explained the problem, and I felt immediately relieved!
My husband came with me and Dr. Winston was able to squeeze him in for an exam since he knew we drove 1 ½ hours to get there. We have been patients of Dr. Winston for many years, and plan to continue even though we have moved to another area. Additionally, Naomi is incredible. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, able to explain insurance plans, and gives great advice about fit and style of glasses when asked.

I’ve been a patient since 2001 and I have to say Dr. Winston is great. I’ve never had to wait long and they take both my HMO and VSP insurnace. Since it is so close to my house I will be a patient for as long as I can.

This optometrist has two locations. This office and one in Stevenson Ranch. I usually go to this office unless there is an emergency, like the one I had recently. The staff is the same from the Stevenson Ranch, not very professional. This office is a little bigger than the one is Stevenson Ranch.
