Amy Kim Optometry

I came here after a bad experience with a previous optometrist. According to the previous optometrist, I had a symptom for early onset glaucoma. He claimed that in his 20 years experience, my situation is the first. When Dr. Kim saw me, she determined that I had a unique eye condition that was not a symptom of glaucoma. She also was able to tell me that this condition is quite common amongst people of my ethnic background. Because my other family members also see Dr. Kim, she was able to look into my family history of eye problems and talk in depth about possible issues I may have in the future. This is the first time that an optometrist has talked to me about my family’s eye problems. Overall, Dr. Kim delivered unparalleled service. I highly recommend to bring your family here so that you can gain a better understanding of any hereditary eye problems that you may be unaware of.

Most unpleasant experience at a professional doctor’s office. When I went in for the eye exam a few weeks ago, the doctor greeted me with a speech about how 3 years ago when l had my exam, she did not get the $ 40 contact lens fitting fee from my insurance since I didnt order contacts from her. She said she misinterpreted my coverage so she didnt want to send me a bill separately and decided to just «swallow the cost.» If I dont plan to order the contacts from her again I have to pay out of pocket. She then tried to say her contact lens prices are very comparable to everywhere else. I was a bit taken aback. Whey does she have to talk to me like I didn’t pay on purpose last time? I also hesitated because there’s a place I’ve been going to for contacts for over 10 years already. After the exam, she told me right away the charge is 50, 10 for copay and 40 for fitting-​which she hadnt done.
When it was time to pay, I asked the guy at the front desk if I need to schedule an appointment for the fitting since I was getting charged for it. He said «.oh do you want to? She didnt give you a pair to try this time? Yeah if you feel like you want to come in again for a fitting.» Umm. i thought it was a required procedure?! He said it’s not a required procedure and I only have to do it if I want to. In fact, the doctor already finalized the prescription. I asked him if he was sure several times since the doctor made that long speech about her ‘generosity’ before and kept saying I have to pay for the fitting. He said he was certain. He then said he will email me my prescription. Days passed and I got nothing. When i called to follow up on it, i got an email for my glasses prescription only. I had to call back again about the contact lens prescription and they put the doctor on the phone. She said «I thought I made it clear to you that you have to pay the $ 40 dollars!» When I tried to explain to her what happened she said «well it really seemed like you didnt want to pay for it and my employee thought so too.» If you want it you will have to come in for the fitting.
I went in today and got the exact same prescription that she prescribed 3 years ago. So thanks for nothing and no thanks to your bitterness and biased assumption that I would not pay for a necessary procedure. Communication is so disconnected at this place. And if she is gonna be this upset that I don’t order contacts from her, she might as well make it part of her policy that if you see her for an eye exam, you also have to order contacts there.

My whole family goes here. They have great service n Dr kim does a great job w all 3 of my fidgety kids. 2 of my kids r here for DREAM therapy… they wear these special hard lenses overnight, in the morning they take them out and tada they have 20 20 vision wo glasses or contact! So ideal for atheletes! My kids love not wearing glasses!

I came in as a walk in. It was an amazing and easy experience Briana helped me with no rush and explained everything thoroughly. Dr Kim was really nice. Probably one of the best optometrists I’ve been too. Had a variety in selection and the staff was beyond great and helpful. Would definitely recommend this to friends and family. If you’re shy about going in just ask for Briana– she’ll take very good care of you.

Great service and very friendly staff. Walked in to try on a couple of frames since they have a pretty good selection to choose from. I highly recommend it to my boyfriend since he had been struggling to find a good optometrist and he became a satisfied customer =)

Excellent service and excellent staff. After 5 years of going to lens crafters, I felt it was time for a change for a more one on one personal experience, and I definitely found what I was looking for here. Needless to say, Dr. Kim is my new Optometrist. I highly recommend.

First they give me glasses where the lenses don’t fit the frame and now they say the framers were robbed and I have to wait for new frames. But they went out of their way to rush my order and gave me complementary fitting for my other frames. Great service.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST AND MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE EYE DOCTOR I’VE EVER BEEN TO. Dr. Amy discovered a condition called Keratoconus, which makes my cornea distort in a pointy matter. Apparently I’ve been living with this for years. I’ve visited kaiser in my teenage years and they never detected this. Dr. Amy noticed this during my first eye test in her office. AMAZING RIGHT? She then schedualed me to see a specialist for test to confirm my condition. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Keratoconus but not all hero’s wear capes. Dr. Amy managed to get the perfect fitment for my cornea and the right correction. After a few more test I recieve my first pair of contact lenses. Words cannot explain how much my vision improved. It literally feels like I’ve jumped into a different dimension. Everything is extremely clear!!! (: the staff that works there is extremely knowledgeable and guided me through everything I needed to know about my new contact lenses. They schedualed a follow up and right when I think my vision can’t get any better, dr. Amy ran yet another test and pulled out a lense that corrected my right eye. Every visit is just shocking, she just keeps finding way to improve my vision! I am expecting another pair that will give me perfect vision. It’s crazy to think that about a month ago, I couldn’t see txt on my computer without being glued to the screen. All of this was covered with my insurance and only had to pay a very small co payment. Very Hassel free office. Please do not get fooled because it is located in a shopping mall. My experience with Dr. Amy has been amazing. Definatly recommend this doctor to anyone that wants to improve their vision. She works miracles.

I’m rating this off of my phone experience and appointment booking.
I have a pair of prescription glasses that I adored but after having Lasik done 2.5 years ago, I have no use for them but am sad I can’t wear them. I’d been flirting with the idea of having new tinted sunglasses lenses (non-​prescription) into the frames so I could still enjoy them despite having ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision.
I called this place after browsing Unilocal and calling around a few local places. The young woman who answered the phone today was so helpful. She was very nice and really took the time to discuss my options with my vision insurance (I hadn’t even thought to have insurance cover replacement lenses!). She asked me a few questions and looked up our insurance (I didn’t even need my insurance card, just a few technical questions) and called them for me. She called me back and told me what benefits I had.
So happy with the service I received over the phone, I was happy to book my topography and dilation scan appointment for next week, so that we can knock out a $ 10 copay plus figure out the sunglasses/​frames situation in 1 visit. Ha, I didn’t even realize my insurance covered topography and dilation, I was just planning on paying out of pocket for it, just to keep my lifetime guarantee on the Lasik with my ophthalmologist from back on the east coast!
Thanks to Amy Kim Optometry, I will have avoided the $ 150 fee for dilation scans! Sweet deal! I’ll update my review after my appointment next week.

I’ve been going regularly for years now. Great doctor and staff! They’re knowledgeable and frendly and have great prices. I just went in for my annual check up and my vision has improved because she found me amazing custom fit contacts. Thank you Dr. Kim!

I love going to Dr. Kim’s office. I love the staff! The guy in the front office ROCKS! I don’t know his name but he is awesome and very helpful.

Dr. Kim is AWESOME… She always take care of me and my eyes. She is very passionate about her customers health. She has a great location outside Del Amo mall. The carry a lot of different name brand frames. If you are in need of getting your eyes check or nice pair reading or sun glasses, this is the place to go. Her staff is always polite and ready to assist you when picking out your frames for glasses.

Rec’d an eye exam and bought a pair of glasses and sunglasses. Great service and cheap prices … they even fixed my old glasses for free. Highly recommended.

Amy Kim’s Optometry has done my and my families prescriptions for the last 4 years and I have had the pleasure of Chris taking care of us every time. He is so knowledgeable kind and patient enough to show us and let us try on the latest frames. So go see CHRIS at Amy Kim’s Optometry.

Amy Kim Optometry is the best eye doctor I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been wearing glasses for 10+ years! Dr. Kim is great during the exam, makes you feel comfortable and is very attentive to your health needs. They have a great selection of glasses. And Briana did a great job at helping me choose the right frame for me. She answered all of my questions and had awesome feedback while I tried on many different frames. She was very patient and never tried to up-​sell me!
Try this place, you won’t be disappointed

Hello my name is Fernando. I just like to tell you About my experience visiting you office excellent costumer service and that goes for Mr. Christopher he has been very helpful every time I visit your office he’s service is 100% thank you Christopher !!!

I hadn’t gotten my vision checked up in a long time (4+ years). When I visited my mom in LA she took me to Dr. Kim and I’m so glad that she did! Dr. Kim was easy to talk to and her check up was very thorough. After I tried on the new prescriptions from Dr. Kim I could definitely «see» the difference in clarity of vision and regretted not getting this done sooner.
Along with my new prescription contact lenses I needed an extra pair of glasses as well. I wanted something simple and practical that I can use at home to read before going to sleep, nothing fancy. I explained this to the male salesperson or optician who was helping me and thankfully he wasn’t pushy with the sale, and was patient with my indecisiveness. I ended up getting two pairs instead of one, because they had a good selection and the price was reasonable. I would definitely go back.

Excellent customer service and positive experience. I had my first eye exam in several years. Dr Kim and her staff are very personable and knowledgeable. The exam was thorough and I did not feel rushed. I can’t wait to pick up my Ray Ban glasses.

Way better than other optical shop. They accept most of the vision insurance and they have a lot of eye glasses to choose from.
Dr. Kim is very friendly and helpful too.
Chris helped me get the best rate for my eye glasses. I will be back here for my contact lens check up.

Came down to cali to visit some family during the summer. never knew the cali sun was so torturingly bright! Was referred here by a family member for some sunglasses. Great experience and a great deal. The staff was very helpful and professional. Would definitely recommend!
