Robert Dirksen, OD – LA Optometric

Came here about a month ago for an eye exam. I was able to schedule an appointment last minute. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. The Dr. and exam were great and he made everything easy and quick.

Rob is an amazing practitioner; full disclosure, I knew him in college, so when I heard that he was an optometrist I decided to try him out a few years ago. I have to be picky as I have a very strong prescription and some other complications. I thought that his service on his old site was great, but was a little far for me to go to regularly. Now I’m following him to the other side of LA County from where I live because his new place is the best! I love how bright and lovely his space is, there’s a great selection of frames, and his staff couldn’t be nicer or more professional. But the best part is the high quality of arrive for my high index eyes. I love my new glasses — and they fit perfectly, on the very first fitting! No adjustment necessary — after a lifetime of glasses, that had NEVER happened before!
I’m very impressed, and will continue to trek over from Pasadena to have only Dr Dirksen treat my contacts and glasses needs. Just today I ordered custom-​fitted clip-​ons for my new gorgeous frames per his office staff’s suggestions, as I completely trust their ideas. I’m going to have the only good-​looking polarized clip-​ons on my block :)

I’ve been getting my glasses here for a few years due to the excellent service and their great selection. I have a complicated prescription & a number of special requirements for lenses. I always get exactly what I need — wonderful quality lenses.
I am someone who has a ‘look’, so I tend to get similar styles in my frames each time. (Plus, one particular style looks best with my face shape). But I like to keep things fresh. LA Optometrique always has great up-​to-​date styles that look ‘now’.
I also am really particular about fit & have specific requirements for how glasses feel on me. These folks always accommodate me and work to customise the fit as I like it. I never feel rushed or that I’m imposing.
Really top service & product. I’ve also visited their docs for eye exams, the docs are also first-​rate & thorough.
Going to keep coming here! My friends also come here — they have the same great experience I have.

Love them! They are right across my from job so it’s very convenient. Quick and fast service. The return on your glasses are quick as well. Everyone is very friendly

Loves me some LA Optometric– had such a great experience here! Exceptional frames, and the most amazing staff! Definitely recommending friends, and coming back for all my eyewear updates

The staff is both extremely friendly and incredibly helpful! And Dr. Dirksen is awesome! He was very thorough and made suggestions and recommendations about my contacts and glasses that no other doctor had in the past. As a result, I am seeing clearer than I have in years and with any other pair of glasses or lenses I’ve tried. The selection to choose from was great and I had both my contacts and glasses within a week. I’m thrilled and only wish I had the need to visit there more often!

5 stars all around! Their selection of frames is extensive. They have all of the trendy/​popular brands. More importantly however, what sets these guys apart is their service. If there is an issue, they work to make it right. I am 100% satisfied. Gabriel is both helpful and responsive.

After going here for year and years, my last visit in was with a new Dr., Dr. Dirksen. Unfortunately he was not very friendly and tried to force me in to ordering stuff I politely declined but then felt uncomfortable afterwards for declining. I’ve come to discover that he now owns the place and the other warm and friendly Dr.‘s I’ve seen there have moved on.

A Co-​worker recommended this place to me and when I walked in the customer service was soooo helpful and great and the doctor is soooo amazing… the only things is I wish they had more of a variety of fames but other than that… I highly recommend this place

I found this place by mistake. Ended up Unilocaling and seeing all the reviews so I thought I would give them a try and I am sooo very happy I did. From the second I walked in the gentleman at the counter greeted me right away, got my paperwork started and before I knew it I was in with the dr. The Dr. Was extremely nice, went over what he was doing and quick with the process. As we all know In LA time is everything. The gentleman at the front then showed me what my insurance covered and then showed me glasses my insurance would cover all of but of course I wanted name brand. I was never pressured into anything I didn’t want. Love this place and highly recommend it! I will definitely have my friends and family come here.

I found LA Optometric through my vision insurance (VSP) and am glad I did. Dr. Dirksen was really easy to talk to and did a great job explaining my horrible eyes to me! The staff was also amazing and super helpful. There was a Ray Ban frame I really wanted and they were able to order it for me. They also price match contacts so that was an added bonus as well! Everyone was very laid back, friendly and engaging. I didn’t feel pressured or like they were trying to force products on me (which happened at the last place I got glasses at). Definitely check this place out if you’re in WeHo and looking for something stylish and affordable.

Dr. Dirksen is great. He’s knowledgable, nice, and he gets you through the generally annoying eye chart process pretty quickly. The people who work here are very helpful and they get you in and out with new fashionable, affordable glasses quickly as well. They were also patient with me since it took me 2 days to choose my final pair of glasses, and of course, I ended up with the original pair the doctor suggested in the first place. I highly recommend this place!

Dr. Dirksen is probably one of the best optometrist I’ve seen in years. Really nice guy, friendly staff, clean office and they sell swimwear too!!! Kinda random but it’s West Hollywood why not. Highly recommend going here if you need an eye exam

Just a great store and service. I was visiting from NYC and my RayBan sunglasses broke. They fixed my glasses perfectly for free. Just great service. I will definitely shop for glasses here upon my return to LA. They have a great selection of beautiful frames in the store and are really nice.

This guy is the real deal. He has a great way of talking to his patients and will go out of his way to make sure they are okay. Plus he is super smart. If you haven’t been yet, give him a try.

Found this place on Unilocal as its close to my work. The doctor was very nice. I didn’t wait at all and my appointment went quickly. He didn’t try to sell me on anything I didn’t want and he seemed very intelligent. Will definitely keep going here and would definitely recommend him!

Dr. Dirksen and staff were amazing! I walked in on a Saturday to discuss my insurance and set an appointment. They got me in that day within a few minutes. Dr. Dirksen was quick but thorough in his examination. The woman at the front desk helped me with my insurance, and had me out the door quickly. The contacts I ordered came in fast and early. All around a great experience.

I received my first eye exam from Dr. Dirksen and he and his staff were absolutely amazing! They were very thorough and patient with me and I look forward to returning. They have a great selection of frames and I am very happy with both my lenses and my contacts. I highly recommend Dr. Dirksen and LA Optometrique!

Found Dr. Dirksen off Unilocal and was very happy to see his service and team were just as awesome as the other Unilocalers posted on here. Making an appointment was very easy and convenient, parking was easy to find on Santa Monica Blvd (because I went around 11am), and his staff was very nice and easy going. I needed a yearly exam for contacts and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Dirksen. He answered all my questions and was very gentle and efficient. I’m happy I found a new eye doc I LOVE!

When you need a doctor who is beyond capable, funny and (good looking) to boot– look no further. This place is amaze balls! I have to say– the interior decorating– bright lime green accent wall, fabulous white/​silver sofa, gorgeous mirrors, pristine and clean– great location-(Fro Yo next door even!) funny and inviting staff– (Gracie and Gabriel)…it does not get better than this!
I was blown away! I was wearing very itchy and less than desireable contacts for the past two years– (My last doctor shall remain nameless, but he was courtesy of Wallmart Optical) he well– had me in the wrong perscription! And Dr. Dirksen was beyond knowledgeable and courteous, and professional and immediately put me into a pair of contacts that are so deliciously clear– I can see now! He was so accomedating and fantastic– not only was he friendly and well mannered and professional, he really understood what prescription I needed — and I have very poor eyesight. It is a curse– I am so goodlooking, but I cannot see it. Until today!
I am a customer for life. I felt completly taken care of here. I would never go anywhere else. Excellent!- Mara
