Dr. Barry Leonard & Associates

Accidentally bumped into this place while searching for a new eye doctor through my VSP insurance. The staff is really friendly and honest when it comes down to what exactly is needed on the lens with no «upsell» like other previous experiences I’ve had. I also love the variety of lenses throughout the shop and the best part is that they are all color coded based on price.

I chose this place because they stayed open late and were convenient. My first visit was great, however the subsequent visits… not so much.
The doctor and the student doctors seems nice and knowledgeable and they are very welcoming, but I don’t think I will be coming back here.
Most of the staff is nice and friendly but the person who trains you on your contact lenses is less than friendly. She made me feel like she was doing me a favor. I did not feel welcomed by her at all. I just wanted to walk out and leave. Who knows, maybe she was just having a bad day, but it doesn’t mean she can make my day bad.
On my third visit, I rushed to get to my appointment on time and made it, checked in at the front, and then I waited and waited. If I am expected to be on time, I’d like to be seen on time. After my 30 minutes of waiting, my annoyance factor began to rise. I understand that maybe it was a busy day, but at the very least if the doctor is running behind, it would be nice for the staff to let me know so I don’t become a big grump.
I normally am a very cheerful person, but I’ve ended up in a bad mood here 2 times out of 3. They literally suck the joy out of me.

My husband was wearing his contact lenses for thirty-​three years, and he went to different doctors and he wasn’t happy with any of them. Finally we found the perfect doctor, Dr. Barry Leonard. He is a amazing doctor. And he is person who cares about other people.

Exceptional service! My mom has been telling me about this place for years! The staff is very friendly and want to make sure you’re happy the whole time. I have never been to an optometrist that was so accommodating in all ways. Alejandra was very helpful from the moment I walked in the door! Gianni (might have the wrong spelling) was extremely patient as I took pictures of all the glasses I liked. He even left me alone several times to not put any pressure on me. They even let me exchange my glasses once I had gone home and worn them for a day. Absolutely no cost to exchange them and they even put a courtesy rush on my order. I should also mention how super duper friendly Dr. Leonard was when I came in for my exam. He made sure I was comfortable with the contacts I left with, we even tried 3 different pairs. He just kept saying «the fit of the lens is super important and you have to feel good while its in your eye.» So we kept trying some on until we found a winner! I’ve never had a staff take so much time with me. They really make you feel like a priority here. I highly recommend Dr. Barry Leonard & Associates!

I’ve been going here for years ! And I love it ! Super friendly I was amazed lol My grandpa took me here for the first time to get my first pair of glasses and after he passed away, I wanted to come here forever since he was special to me. I want to come here forever and I hope that this place will continue to provide attentive and quality care for years to come ! Thankyou Dr. Barry Leonard for your great service and care. It’s very difficult to find a place like this now and days. I recommend !

My family have been patients here for many many years. As time goes by, Dr. Leonard and his staff only get better. Professional, dedicated and friendly. You couldn’t get better anywhere else in LA.

The staff was very friendly and professional. I would have to say this was THE most thorough eye exam my family has ever received. We will definitely be back !!

Awesome optometrist very caring, sincere and connects with patients. I’ve practically referred my full office to go there and surprisingly I get thank you notes for my referrals. The reason I refer them is feeling at ease, cared for and with plenty of frame options.
I’ve ordered both frames and contacts. There are plenty of frames to choose from and the added benefit of ordering contacts is that if your prescription changes and you still have left over contacts from your previous prescription grade, Dr. Leonard gladly exchanges them. Also, if you like color contacts and they don’t have the sample you want to try out they gladly order a sample for you so that you can try it.
Before my sister ever became a patient she had broken one of the hinges and the temple had fallen off her glasses. I told her to stop by Dr. Leonard’s and sure enough with no questions asked they took a look at it and fixed on the spot. They never asked are you a client or even charged a fee. That by far amazed me and my family. Everyone is switching over to him for this exceptional service. Love my visits at Dr. Leonard’s :-)

Dr Leonard and associates are professional and friendly. He’s been our family eye doctor for a few years now, no complaints. He also has good selections on frames. His female staffs and Johnny are nice, friendly and accomodating. Stay away from Hugo, I did not have a good experience with him but kudos to everyone else, good job!

My sister recommended me to this facility, and i must admit, i am VERY HAPPY to have made the switch. Office hours are convenient, doctors and staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, there is ample space for parking and they have a huge selection of frames!!! I am glad to be a part of such an amazing organization and will be recommending more friends and family to check it out.

Dr. Barry Leonard is an amazing human, he has been in Panorama City for around 5 decades, he is an active community member and is always ready to lend a hand. Thank you Dr Barry Leonard for setting an example for others.

Dr. Barry Leonard is the best! One of the most efficient and well run offices I have ever been in. His staff was so friendly and accommodating. Actually I have recommended many people to him already… You can actually feel how his staff is carefully picked by a personality that suits customer service and this is hard to come by… After going to this office, nothing else compares…

Dr Leonard and his staff of experts truly are amazing. They do everything possible to make your experience in his office a pleasant one. He has all the latest equipment and machines to diagnose any issue and to get you the perfect prescription. I love his office and would recommend him to anyone I know looking for an Optometrist. I have sent a minimum of 25 referrals to Dr Leonard. BTW they have a great selection of frames as well. Thanks for keeping me seeing straight Dr Leonard. You’re the best. Dad. Just kidding about the Dad part.

I visited Dr. Leonard & Associates today for the first time for a comprehensive eye exam, complete with eye MRI. What a great team and office!
PROS:
Every person I encountered was super friendly.
My appointment started on time.
The office is clean and well equipped.
Both Daniel (the doctor who performed many of the tests) and Dr. Leonard went through the results of my many scans and tests, explaining the results clearly to me.
Eye glass selection is good.
CONS:
None!
I am happy to have found Dr. Leonard and Associates and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks!

Amazing office, Doctor and staff, Dr Leonard very well knowledgeable, warming welcome at front, and absolutely very dedicated tech, Sandra, who answered all my questions and help me out to choose the right glasses for me. I was treated very good.
A lot of glasses to choose from with affordable prices.

The place is nice and the people in front desk are helpful and nice. The dr. I saw she was very helpful. They have good brands of glasses. They have the best customer service! I’ll be coming back soon.

Great office, staff and doctors!
Great and large selection of frames to choose from. I got a great pair of Persol!!!

My family LOVES this place! Everyone is so helpful! We have been going here for 7 years now and it is the only Doctor place that has zero wait time, 90% of the time we walk right in or the doctor greats us near the counter. This place has the latest testing equipment and the staff is so AMAZING they make shopping for new glasses a nice experience. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I felt very well treated at this office. The receptionist and everyone else had a very good manner. I haven’t been to an eye doctor in probably over 5 or 6 years and i went in for a simple check up, or at least what i thought was a simple check up. Maybe technology has advanced to such a level that it’s just that good, or maybe i just had a bad optometrist 5 or 6 years ago, who knows. The machines they have in the back room that examine your eyes are great.
Meeting the actual Dr, i got to see Dr. Barry Leonard and he was great. He did an exam on my eyes inside the room and used his machines to check out different clarities and what not. I still have ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision, YAY! lol. Anyways, my experience was great and i definitely recomend going here if you need to get your eyes checked out.

It’s always a pleasure coming here to this office. The staff is cheerful and positive. They remember who you are and greet you personally, even months after you’ve been here. Dr. Leonard must be not only personable to his patients but an awesome boss as well if the happy attitudes of his staff are any indication.
Scratched lens from last year? Replaced free with insurance with no attempt to upsell frames or get me in for any unnecessary check ups.
Need to wait? The office is comfortable, clean and airy with fresh coffee available. Speaking of that, just got myself a cup and have only taken a few sips when my good as new glasses were presented to me! Exemplary customer service!
Dr. Leonard, I will definitely be back for my next pair of glasses!
