Chu Amy T OD

It is sooo hard to find good doctors. If you need an optometrist, I highly recommend Dr. Amy Chu. I have been going to her for years. A few times I’ve had changes in my insurance and so I ended up going to a few different optometrists. But I always returned to Amy Chu. Even after I moved more than 36 miles away! She is the best. I have so many problems with my eyes and she is always offering a better solution or suggestion to try and help me. I really appreciate it.

Dra. Amy chu, she’s one of the best and the staff their fantastic. Eversince my family and friends entrust on her profession.

Dr. Chu is amazing. She was very professional yet relatable. I’ve also visited one of the other doctors there (forgot his name) but he was very nice too. I would have had a great experience and would have given it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the people they have working up front. I don’t know if it was just me, but the receptionist or whatever she is very condescending and not accommodating at all and made me leave with a sour taste. The Drs are great, but they need better staff.

I made an appointment for both my nine year old son and I with Dr. Chu. She and her staff were very courteous and professional. We were seen at our appointment time, which is priceless for me. In addition, Dr. Chu was very patient with my energetic son. She explained everything to us in full detail (at an adult level for me and at a nine year old level for my son). I was able to comfortably make an informed decision regarding the best options for us (contacts, vs specialized lenses, vs surgery, etc). I would highly recommend Dr. Chu to friends and family.

Amy is such an honest, caring, and professional optometrist. I’ve been coming here for several years and every visit I learn something new. Curious about why they shine a bright light while looking in every direction? She’ll give you the full scoop, down to the last detail. Curious about why they’re using eye-​drops to dilate your pupil? Amy will tell you everything about optic nerves if you want to hear it. She’ll make sure that you get the most accurate prescription and objectively recommend what suits you best. You can tell that she has mountains of experience from how she talks about different treatments and products.
Her staff is just as pleasing to work with. They definitely have more of a personal attitude than a get-​in get-​out mentality as I’ve experienced in other medical facilities. After getting your prescription, chat with Susanna and she’ll find you eye-​wear that’ll make you look sharper.
(sharper… get it? hahaha ok I’ll show myself out)

Dr. Amy Chu and her staff are all great doing their job. She has the expertise as an optometrist. She extensively check our eyes during the annual exam. Getting an appointment is not hard, fixing my eyeglass whenever i have problems with it and giving advice on what eyeglass is perfect for you. Thumbs up to Dr. Chu!!!

I’ve been going to Dr. Amy Chu for a long time and I have recommended her to my friends and family. She is very thorough and I have complete trust in her. The staff is great — especially Susana who helps you select glasses and fits them. Yup, the location is not the best (but then again, I just live around the corner!) and the clinic is somewhat dated, but Dr. Chu has kept abreast of what’s new and she does have updated technology.

She is the best optometrist and they have the best staff. She goes out of her way to help you and she is so meticulous, detail oriented and just takes her time to make sure that you are happy and that your prescription is accurate. I’ve recommended her to all of my friends and those that have gone to see her have not been disappointed and they go on ahead and continue to refer other people as well. It is just personalized service — you don’t really get that nowadays but they continue to provide it.

The other reviewer gave her 4 stars minus one for the location. The location really wasn’t that bad for me as I lived just two blocks away. I searched for her online and found that she was good (back before Unilocal existed).
She is patient friendly to the maximum and she really is incredible and she answers all my questions intelligibly and brilliantly.
It will take longer to get your glasses than at a Lens Crafters, etc… but you’ll get the personalized attention that is to die for…

Dr. Amy Chu is terrific, and her staff is outstanding. It’s a small office and they take customer service very seriously, making sure you are very happy with your perscription and frames.
I found Dr. Chu by searching the internet for a match to my insurance coverage. That was 6 years ago and she had just been named the best young optometrist of the year. She has been my doctor since 2002 and I’ve always appreciated her thorough exams, expert analysis and great sense of humor! She treats a lot of children and I would imagine they love her.
Recently I had a small complication with my vision and Dr. Chu found the link to an underlying condition. She recommended a treatment plan and referred me to stellar doctors, who have all praised her expert «detective» work for identifying the problem. All is now well and she continues to monitor my vision for changes. It feels wonderful to be in the care of such an expert.
I hope her practice continues to grow and thrive. She’s a gem in the Los Angeles community and worth the drive from anywhere in So. Cal.

I REALLY like Dr. Amy Chu.
I live in Torrance, and hers is not the most convenient location AND it’s in kind of a funky location (–1 for that), BUT she’s got a wonderful, patient personality and answers all my questions.
Before her, I had gone to another optometrist in Burbank (near my old work) on a friend’s recommendation, and he was a real jerk, impatient with my questions.
So a friend’s recommendation turned out to be a bust, while Dr. Chu, whom I picked randomnly from my insurance booklet is great. Go figure.
Lastly, don’t let the funky location and exterior fool you. Her sister is her assistant and eyeglass buyer and has EXCELLENT taste in styles from budget to designer, plus those expensive oversized sunglasses. I bought the same pair of Via Spiga’s she was wearing, and I still love them.
A bonus is that Dr. Chu looks young, so hopefully, she’s not retiring anytime soon.
