Sara Hakopian, OD

Couldn’t recommend Dr. Hakopian more. She’s thorough, kind and understands what you need. I’ve had a devil of a time trying to find contacts that work and was reconciled to struggling through wearing them. She suggested Oasys and also mentioned that I have allergies that should be rectified and voila — a week later, I don’t even notice my contacts.

I visited Dr Hakopian a year ago, I found her on Unilocal.The office is nice and clean. I had called them thought they took my ins because the lady on the phone said they did but I was told they didn’t once I got there. But Dr. Hakopian came out and talked to me and said that it was okay and they would still see me, she assured me it wouldn’t cost so much. She is super nice and friendly good hearted woman and honest may I add i just really liked her… just for that I will be going back to visit to get a new pair of affordable glasses… :)

Dr. Hakopian may be the best optometrist that I have ever had! She has the best patient care, and follows up on all questions that you might have. I cannot recommend her enough.

First time here and everyone here was great, professional, and very clear and helpful. Every question listened to and patiently answered. The staff was friendly and understanding. Would recommend anyone! Glad to have found her!

First time here, and I had a great experience!
Walking into the office very clean, organized and neat. The girl at the front had everything ready. I came in filled up paperwork and she had my insurance pulled. (They take VSP) !Took me right in for a quick look, set me in the room. Dr. Hakopian came in after a few minuets… Extremely knowledgable and explained every step.
Picked up my glasses friday. Must say I’m very pleased with this place!
Definitely will recommend this place to all my friends and family.
Parking in the back… Its perfect!

I’m a new patient of Dr. Hakopian and saw her this past weekend for the first time.
The day of my appointment, the receptionist called me and asked me to come in about an hour earlier than my scheduled appointment because they had an opening. It was a Saturday so I was able to come in earlier, even though it was just 2 hours notice. I arrive on time and end up waiting an hour– so I wasn’t seen until the time of my original appointment. The receptionist seemed flustered by this and admitted that she had asked me to come in earlier but didn’t realize how late it was.
Anyway, I’m seen by Dr. Hakopian, she seems nice and goes through the appointment quickly and answers all of my questions. She was pleasant and seemed very knowledgable. She prescribed a new contact lens prescription for me, and some eye drops for allergies.
I go back to reception to check out, order contacts and pay my bill. I leave the office and realize I wasn’t given my prescription for the eye drops. I call the office to see if the prescription can be sent to my pharmacy and the receptionist said that it’d be difficult to do, so I go back to the office to pick it up. Even though there are no other patients there, the prescription isn’t ready so I have to wait for it.
Fast forward several days, I learn this prescription isn’t covered by my insurance. My pharmacy has been trying to get ahold of Dr. Hakopian’s office for 4 days and hasn’t heard back from them.
3 stars because Dr. Hakopian seems like a great optometrist, but –2 stars because her receptionist seems so disorganized that it isn’t worth the effort of going to this doctor. I will not be going back.

Dr. Hakopian is a kind, knowledgable, professional who will help you in any way she can. She fit me for glasses and contacts and later recommended a LASIK surgeon, at my request. She has done all of my post-​op check ups since then and genuinely cares about her patients. I never feel rushed or hustled, like i have before in other offices. She remembers conversation details from previous visits and shows she really listens to each individual. I have sent family members to her, which is a testament to her patient care. Her staff is also very personable and friendly. If you live near Burbank and are looking for the safest bet, while exceeding your expectations, Dr. Hakopian is it. Always a pleasant experience.

Found Dr. Hakopian’s office on Unilocal & I am so glad I did! She is very nice & easy going. She gave a thorough examination of my eyes. I did not feel rushed in any way during my appointment. She even helped me pick out my glasses herself. Designer glasses are available such as Gucci, Michael Kors, Ray-​Ban, Dolce & Gabanna etc. It is a clean, professional environment that I will return to, I even recommended her to family members.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Hakopian for about 5 years now. Shes very professional and spends a lot of time on a thorough exam.
My father has optic nerve damage along with all sorts of other vision issues. She was the only doctor that was able to prescribe the perfect pair of glasses for a trifocals.
Shes easy to get a hold of, the office is very organized and calls you with a reminder for your annual exam.

Dr. Hakopian called me as soon as she read the review, and I have my prescription! She said she even had a meeting with her staff to find out where the ball was dropped. That’s impressive.

Looking to find a new ophthalmologist, I was very pleased to discover Sara Hakopian. She takes her time and listens to what you have to say. The office is small and you don’t get that corporate feeling you get from a place like Lens Crafters. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pleasant and stress-​free visit to the doctor.

Dr. Hakopian is very approachable, very honest, and easy to be with. I enjoyed the exam, and thought she did some techniques that were different and I appreciated that. She actually communicated about my eye exam, explaining what she saw and how she thought it looked. She will now be my new OD, after 20 years of using another OD, I look forward to my new glasses and having my exams done yearly with Dr. Hakopian.

She was fantastic! Dr. Hakopian is an example what all doctors should strive to be: friendly, prompt, personable, knowledgable, the list could go on. She was so kind and explained everything to me. She took the time and treated me as more than a patient and actually listened to what I had to say. My only complaint is that she only treats eyes… she should consider becoming a general practitioner because I want to see her for everything! Seriously, THE BEST.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hakopian and her staff. From the ease of making an appointment to a thorough eye exam. She is very professional, knowledgeable and caring and loves what she does. She takes the time to explain each step of the eye exam.

Highly Recommended!
Thank You Dr. Hakopian! Thank you for educating me on the condition of my eyes. My previous doctor tends to rush me out the door.
Dr. H took her time to explain everything to me and recommended a better brand of contacts for my eyes. She even changed her schedule to accommodate my schedule. If you want a doctor that cares, go to Dr. H

The best of the best! Run– don’t walk– to get your eyes checked by Dr. H. She is amazing and will be my new eye doctor from this point forward.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hakopian and her staff. They were genuine, nice, professional and very helpful. Dr. Hakopian took the time to ask about my eyes, answer my questions and listen to concerns. She diagnosed things that others have never diagnosed in the past, and which I had been experiencing for many years. She and her staff were very helpful when I was trying to pick frames. They made it so much easier, as it is usually so hard for me to figure out which frames are good for my face. I wasn’t rushed in any way, and felt very comfortable taking my time. I’m so glad I found her, and her office takes my insurance. They have a beautiful office; neat and clean. A great selection of frames, and a parking lot behind the building. They are open every other Saturday, so just ask if you need a Saturday appointment.
If you are going to have your pupils dilated and the drops put in them, I would suggest having your appointment when you don’t have to return to work or somewhere where you need to see. I experienced extremely blurred vision for 4 hours or so. Plan accordingly.
They accept Credit Care credit cards for any difference your insurance doesn’t cover.
I have already recommended this office to friends and family.

After a minor communication issue yesterday, Dr. Hakopian remedied the situation and saw me today on her day off. Now I know why she has 5 stars.
Dr. Hakopian and her receptionist were both very nice. She made me feel very comfortable and I was at total ease during the exam. I had one of the best exams I’ve ever had. She explained everything and answered all my questions. The exam was quick, yet thorough.
When it came time to choose a new frame, I was quite pleased to see a wide variety of frames that I liked. It was hard to just pick one!
Overall, I was quite happy with my visit. I went ahead and made appointments for my kids, knowing they will be receiving a top notch experience.

My first appointment with Dr. Hakopian was wonderful! She was thorough when determining my prescription, and answered all of my silly questions. She was patient as I tried on almost every frame in her cabinet (there were a lot of very appealing choices) The office staff was friendly and welcoming and helpful. This was by far the best optometrist appointment I’ve ever experienced!
I found Dr. Hakopian on Unilocal,and couldn’t be happier with my choice.

I could not be happier with my appointment with Dr. Hakopian!
I was able to get an appointment quickly and on the day I requested. Once there she was professional and nice and made me feel right at home.
She answered all my questions and helped me feel at ease that I was getting the right prescription!
I took a long time picking out frames which she helped me to do and never rushed me! I can’t wait to go back again next year!
