Yamada Kenneth T, OD

I went here for the first time after about 2 years since having my last eye exam. I was seen right on time. He was very informative and took his time. He answered all of my questions and gave me a clear understanding on certain things with my eyes. I will for sure recommend family and friends.

I’ve been going to Dr. Yamada for about three years now. His office is well run. My appointments always start right on time and he’s very attentive. Highly recommended.

Dr. Kenneth Yamada has been my eye care specialist for about 3 years now and here is an amazing guy and his team is very flexible with my busy schedule. Dr. Yamada saw me as a walk-​in to fix my glasses one time and I was extremely grateful! He did not charge me and just tightened my frame. When I was in college I use to go to Lens-​crafters and I remember one time they charged me 55.00 to tighten my glasses that I purchased from the less than 3 days ago. Also lens crafters prices are actually more expensive than Dr. Yamada’s prices! He has a good selection of glasses and very reasonable/​affordable prices. I rather get my glasses through him and all my eye care and know that i am dealing with a man who cares about my well being and he’s not just working to get a paycheck like the people who work at Lens crafters in South Bay Galleria. I had to go back almost 5 times for a pair of glasses to be made correctly at lens-​crafters… it was a pain in the butt… i am so happy to now be a patient of Dr. Yamada’s!

Wow the receptionist (Melody) was one of the nicest young ladies I’ve ever encountered. Helped me navigate the perils of not being found in the insurance system and went out of her way to make sure my insurance would cover everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!

I came here to get my eyes examined & fitted for glasses. Very friendly staff & Dr. Very professional & quick. I received my glasses a week later & love them! Great variety of glasses to choose from as well!

I had to find a new optometrist when the place I’ve been going to for 10 years does not take the insurance I have with my new job. They recommended Dr. Yamada and I am very pleased. The office isn’t fancy, but he’s the nicest guy, patient and kind and the office staff is great too and they’ve never messed up my appointment. They have a good selection of frames too.

Dr. Kenneth yamada is very helpful when it comes to eye care. I accidentally found him because 24 hours fitness is next door and I just moved to Redondo beach. He remembers your name, occupation, family matters, and almost anything you talk to him about. He’s very personable and easy to get along with and very patient, especially if you or your kid is trying on contacts for the first time. Some kid took three hours to take out his first contact and Kenneth was encouraging the whole… if that was possible. You should give him a shot if you’re trying to find an awesome optometrist in the south bay. He’s a hidden gem! I promise you won’t regret it.

Have been seeing Dr Yamada for years and would not go any place else, my son use to see him every year at Halloween to get his funky contact lens. Now my partner is seeing him for the first time to get his new reading glasses.
Very kind and caring get to know you on a personal level. Have a great holiday EVERYONE in the office YOU GUYS ROCK :-)

I have been seeing Dr. Yamada for several years now, and I won’t go anywhere else. He is friendly and makes you feel comfortable, you will be seen on time, and he makes sure that you get the glasses you want for the best price possible.
I would recommend him to anyone!
(the office staff is great too!)

Need an optometrist? DR. Yamada is the one. This location has ample parking. During the exam, DR. Y is engaging, friendly, and patient. They have a great selection of frames. The staff is helpful and amiable.

I needed new glasses recently and Unilocal led me to Dr. Yamada. I highly recommend him– he’s chill, does his job, and doesn’t try to sell me anything. He’ll tell you what are the upgrades for glasses, but won’t try to pressure you. In fact, he didn’t even care that I wanted to use my old frames. I think other optos will make an excuse that your frame is un-​usable in order to try to sell you a new frame (because that’s one way for them to make a profit). It’s too bad I don’t need Dr. Y’s services anymore since I’m getting Lasik… but for everyone else looking for an optometrist– make an appt with Dr. Yamada! His staff are really nice folks as well.

For some reason, when it came to eye care, I was not faithful as I am with my other doctors. But one day last year, all of a sudden my right eye would not stop tearing up. And it was extremely painful. I stopped in on a Saturday, right before closing, and Dr. Yamada took care of me. He did a thorough exam, sent me off with a prescription and his cell phone in case I had any issues. Because I haven’t been all that faithful, I’ve seen a lot of optometrists. Even before this mishap, I thought Dr. Yamada was very thorough with his exams. And now, I’m ready to schedule my annual exam again. Thanks Dr. Yamada!

Jeepers creepers where you get them peepers… Dr. Yamada keeps them peepin’. Dr Y has been keepin’ all of our eye in tip top shape for many years.
I gotta confess, I’ve thought about going to get my eyes checked at one of the big box stores. Folks tell me I would save some cash. I am not sure if that’s true, but what I do know is Dr. Y knows me and my family. Each time I go to see him it’s like we just continue our conversation from the last time — «…so your son is till in Africa…» I like the personal attention. I like it when my doctor is familiar we me and my needs. After all, we’re talking about my peepers. Those bad boys are almost at the bottom of the list of body parts I don’t mind losing.
Dr Y and his staff are all real nice. He know his sh*t, not only about my eyes but also my insurance coverage. After I choose a pair of frames from his collection, he will work with me to max my insurance coverage (legally). His office is located in a large strip mall with plenty of parking so in and out is easy, bam.
Next time? I gonna pickup my snazzy new frames. So next time you see me at an event, check it out!
