Christopher P Ciampa, OD

Unprofessional kept on saying how handsome he is. The visit was very uncomfortable and a waste of time.

The doctor has an amenable personality but that’s about the only good thing this place has to offer.
The office is indeed dusty. The assistant does not wipe the test equipment clean before or after use nor does the good doctor. I could feel the skin oil on the equipment from other patrons.
It is also notable that, as other reviewers have mentioned, the doctor and his staff refuse to give out the prescription. It takes a lot of effort to get it when it should be standard practice to give a copy to all those who are examined.
My real gripe is with how this office quotes the cost of prescription glasses. My quote went up by $ 150 from one day to the other for no reason other than the cost of Transitions coating which was already quoted the day prior.
I highly recommend all to stay away. This business establishment is not trustworthy nor worth your money.

Best Vision care Doctor in town. My family loves to come here. We have been coming here for the past 7 years. Dr. Ciampa is extremely knowledgable. Take his time to giving you the best care while you are here. Answers all your questions until you are satisfied.
We are blessed to have a Doctor that cares. Our Sister from Huston, Tx comes here for her appointments.

Just had an appointment today for my daughter and service there was great and fast, Dr. Ciampa was very good with my daughter and patient, met the Dr.‘s wife, and she was so helpful and considerate to our needs. Most of all the place is so modern and clean, with great selection of glasses (Gucci:-) my next pick. Cant wait to come back, to Dr. Ciampi’s office. Great customer service… Thank you. I highly Recommend this place to everyone…:-)

Listen to your instincts when you walk into this place-​there is no way your gut will be mistaken. In fact, if you are sensitive, your gut will literally react to this building. Extremely filthy office from front to back. Frames are dusty. Contact lens room is dusty and trashed. It seems the people at this office have forgotten they work in a field that requires sanitation and hospitality. The biggest issue isn’t even the condition of the office, but the service. The moment you make contact with this guy, you will feel uncomfortable. Do not expect this doctor to understand your needs. Do not let this guy know what you do for a living. He will talk out of his ass to make you feel like you’re paying top dollar (100 dollar «comprehensive exam») for a unique experience. Don’t believe for a second that your hard earned insurance is gonna help your case here. This place designs prices so you ALWAYS pay out of pocket. Cmon $ 250 for out-​of-​season RayBans? No. I’ve worn glasses my whole life and have never been denied my prescription, this office does not believe in providing it. Its a prescription not a pink slip. It is by law that a Dr shall provide an Rx no questions asked! I know this review will be removed just as every single detailed review has been hidden. Be very aware.

I needed a dr asap & looked at Unilocal for help, well this place was AWFUL! It was filthy, waited over 30 mins for my appointment to be later harassed to get glasses. The dr is so fake with a horrible temper, I heard him raise his voice at his employee because I didn’t want to purchase frames there and wanted my prescription. His office was horrendous, they have to have roaches there. Even his «wife» was pressuring me to get glasses, I will not be stepping foot there again. She seems sweet but, is fake as well she flirts with the men there to have them purchase the designer frames.
Some advise; you Have every right to ask for your prescription & I should not be given attitude for it. I have no idea how this place remains open.

I have been coming here for years and I’m finally fed up. There are just too many cons, and I can’t even think of a single pro. It is overpriced and Dr. Ciampa is rude. He does not like to give out prescriptions and expects the customer to buy lenses and contacts from his office only instead of shopping around (for a better price). I definitely will not come back.
Unfortunately, Unilocal forces me to give him one star. Although this Optometrist truly deserves none in my opinion. So this one star is for the two out of the three receptionists. They are pleasant and try their best to be helpful.

Dr. Ciampa was very helpful in handling my needs. As both a contact lens wearer and eyeglass wearer he helped me find the perfect solution for my sudden issues regarding my inability to read the fine print on anything! He was very thorough with his exam and gave me an understanding of how things work with the eyes as we progress into our 40s! He set me up with some excellent contact lenses after allowing me to try two different options. They set me up with new reading glasses which are PERFECT and a new RX for progressive eye glasses. Everything was delivered to me in a timely manner and they even ensured I received rebates. Given that I don’t have vision insurance, I was pleased to see that they kept my budget a priority while I was under their care. I give Dr. Ciampa a minimum of 10 stars for his excellent care and service!

I LOVE Dr. Ciampa!!! He is an expert and compassionate doctor.
My family switched insurance to KAISER, so to my misfortune I went to the KAISER optometry department in Bellflower. The doctor I was assigned to was awful, her eye exam and prescription turned out to be useless. I had such a horrible feeling after going to KAISER that I went right away to my previous eye doctor, Dr. Ciampa.
Dr. Ciampa saw a problem with the KAISER prescription as compared to his records of my vision. There appeared to be a significant change and he decided to recheck. What a difference! Dr. Ciampa took his time checking my eye thoroughly. Dr. Ciampa allowed me to test what the other doctor had prescribed and the result was blurry and disorienting vision. He then showed me his prescription recommendation, and everything became sharp and clear!!!
Dr. Ciampa is an awesome doctor that has a big heart for his patients. Besides being a wonderful doctor, his staff is friendly and organized. His office has a vast array of beautiful glasses and is well-​stocked with contact lens. If he does not have your prescription contact lens available, it is ordered and you are called quickly when it arrives. I highly recommend Dr. Ciampa for your vision needs!

Had a very positive experience here :)
Came here after I FINALLY got insurance through the company I work for. I was excited to be able to go somewhere else besides Wal-​Mart for my vision needs (not talking trash about Wal-​Mart but it would be nice to have a dedicated eye doctor, k?). After researching finally decided on this place cause my sister went here many moons ago.
I was the first client in so my wait was not long at all. The whole staff was very friendly and attentive. Dr. Ciampa was very professional and very insightful about my needs. I walked away with a follow-​up appointment, new lenses for my frames, and some contacts.

I was patronizing this place for nearly ten years. Up until two years ago. They are located in a convenient area of Norwalk. One block northwest of Cerritos College. The service here is great. I have absolutely no complaints about the service here. From the front desk all the way to the Dr. I’ve referred pretty much my entire family and friends that needed optical services.
You would think they’d extend a loyal customer some type of discount for the service I’ve referred to them. Practically, all those clients I’ve referred have discontinued their business there. Their prices are a bit overpriced I later learned. If there is one thing I truly miss about this place is the service. My orders for contacts were always prompt. I would always get reminders for my next appointment. Bottom line is there was no incentive for me to continue being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, we had to split ways.
