Mercedeh Motameni, OD, FAAO

Has been our optometrist for years. I don’t know a better one. I love the staff, the office, and of course Dr Motameni.

Dr. Motameni is very kind and most importantly patient. She takes her time and speaks with you. Her staff is amazing and provide quality care.
Thank you Dr. Motameni and Staff! See you next year!

Wow. Fabulous experience getting my eyes checked and new glasses made. The Dr really listened to my situation and suggested a lens that’s much much nicer for me. Very kind and thoughtful doctor. Staff got the edge polishing redone for me too.

This office is great! Dr. Motameni and her staff are very professional and extremely caring. She sees my whole family and we all love her, Kathy and Dario.

Terrible record keeping. Was given false information twice.
I’ve been here two or three times over the past couple of years. The first time I went, they said my prescription lasts 1 year.
Then, when I found out (thanks google) that it’s supposed to last two years, they changed their story to say that the last time I had a vision check was actually two years ago, not one.
That’s odd. So when I asked what exactly we did when I had an appointment last year?
They said they actually only did half of the vision evaluation I actually needed.
Why they decided to only do half of the evaluation, I have no idea. Why they didn’t inform me of that, I am equally clueless.
Dr. Motameni herself is fantastic. One of the best optometrists I’ve ever visited. However, because everything else mentioned, I can’t justify going back.
Kathy, the receptionist, is also very kind and sociable. She really tried to make things right.
If you actually need contacts/​glasses, clear information, or accurate record keeping there are better places to go.

GREAT doctor but understaffed office. You will be waiting around A LOT!
I waited for hours just to try on glasses and then another 30 minutes to pick up my glasses. They also never called me to inform me that my glasses were ready.

Awesome office and dr! I have been coming for a couple of years now and have been pleased, but I came in after they closed on a Saturday and she was still willing to help me out! I was so impressed that she remembered me and helped me after hours. I would have been blind for a couple of days if she had not been so nice to help me out! Thank you!

Dr. Motameni has been so helpful in helping with my blepharitis over a year ago. Unfortunately it took me this long to write a review Her service and care was the best experience I’ve had at any optometry place. Thanks!

Great experience! So I came here because I was unhappy with the last two optometrists I had been to and happened upon this place through Unilocal.Anyway, while from the outside the place doesn’t look the fanciest, the receptionist/​assistant Kathy is extremely helpful and personable. I don’t know what it is, but at other optometrists, even if the optometrist themselves may be decent, they always seem to find the worst people to work the front desk.
Anyway, before I even showed up Kathy had already pulled up my insurance information and both her and Dr. Motameni helped me through the options I had with my insurance.
Dr. Motameni herself was also very great. She’s very personable and caring and took her time to answer all of my questions and make sure I understood everything. Anyway, this place is definitely a hidden gem and I would highly recommend!
They have a small parking lot in front in case you’re wondering.

If you’re looking for a great optometry place then this is the place to go! Good atmosphere, great staff, and an amazing optometrist.
I’m a bit of a chicken when it comes to getting my eyes checked out, especially the puff machine (*shivers*), but the staff here makes it easier to do my routine eye exam.
If you are in Culver City and need your eyes checked, this is the place to go!

I recently found out that I needed glasses, and being eco friendly (read: a hippie), I began scouring the internet for glasses made from recycled materials. I came across a brand called Eco, and their glasses are made from 95% recycled materials. And they’re really cute! Check them out at:
.
This office was one of the few in the area that carried them, AND they’re open on Saturdays, which is great for people with a M-​F 9 – 5 like me. Cross-​checked with who takes my VSP insurance, and we had a winner.
Cathy always promptly answers the phone and answers your questions in a friendly and knowledgeable manner. All of the staff here was fantastic in fact, and very patient as I tried on every pair of Eco they had. Then, they remembered they had just gotten a new pair in, and I absolutely fell in love with it. They had my glasses made in two weeks, and the out of pocket price was even less than they told me it would be.
I am very, very happy with my experience here. If you’re environmentally conscious, I recommend you go check out their Eco collection.

Dr. Motameni is one of the most patient doctors I have ever had. She has a wonderful bedside manner. She does not do evasive surgeries– do not go to her for lasik. She will handle your eyes with wonderful care.

My experience at this office has been nothing but professional from Kathy to the Dr. Motameni. Dr. Motameni is kind, patience, attentive, concern and knowledgeable about her patience needs. The best optometrist I’ve been to in California so far.

I have going to both doctors for like the past 5 or more years and they are the best! They all remember me by name, are very friendly, even the guys who used to work there remember me! I know I haven’t been the best and most reliable of clients but they are patient with me which I admire a lot! The doctors are the most humble I have ever met in the profession! I enjoy going to the dentist (which is weird because I dread dentist and doctors!)but the staff here make the visit a pleasurable one and I would certainly recommend them to anyone!!! You guys are the best!!! Thanks a lot!!!

I’ve been going to Dr. Motameni for about 7 years now. I don’t really know about her eyeglass selection since I’ve only ordered glasses there once (I wear contacts). But she has great credentials. I forget from where but they’re framed on her wall and I remember being pretty impressed. She’s always been really friendly and I always feel comfortable. Even though I only see them once a year, Dr. Motameni and her assistants (Kathy and I forget the guy’s name) are always really nice and remember me and ask about me. She always has the latest contacts and recommends which ones I should get for comfort and breathability. She also always makes sure to give me a coupon for the contacts and sends me home with a contact case and my choice of solution. I’ve moved to Redondo Beach but I’ll continue driving out there for optometry.
By the way, for some reason Unilocal filtered all the really good reviews out (see the Filtered link at the bottom). WTH Unilocal?I’ve been reading about Unilocal scamming businesses asking them to pay or they’ll filter out good reviews. Seems pretty fishy to me.

Dr. Mercedeh Motameni is the best optometrist in west Los Angeles area in my book. I recommend her to all my friends.

Professional, caring, and trust-​able… That is what i look for in any professional.

After trying many of the larger optometrists, I was delighted to find Mercedeh Motameni. She provides excellent personal service, and is not rushing to see the next patient. I took my daughter to her, and she is wonderful with children. I will be getting my contact lenses here!

I recently switched eye care professionals from Century City Opt. to Dr. Motameni. I went to her office because C.C. took nearly 3 weeks and 2 pair of glasses to get it right. I went to her office on Feb. 13^th and my glasses were ready on the 26^th of Feb. I see fabulously now, and Dr. M. truly took her time to get the prescription perfect for me! She is very patient and kind, and Kathy her assistant is the best, too! I am very hard to please, I know this, and she and her staff are excellent to deal with. The only negative thing I’ve to say is, it does take nearly 2.5 weeks to get your glasses. They have a smallish selection, but I love my new glasses as much as my Oliver Peoples! Thank you, Dr.

Upside: Dr. Motameni is very professional, patient, friendly and she does a very good job. Her prescriptions come back crystal clear. There’s two assistants and one is terrific, knows her stuff, really nice.
Downside: Limited frame selection and the other assistant doesn’t seem to understand the details of lens finishes and treatments. He handled my frame and lens order the last two visits and it was difficult to get answers to my questions about different lens finishes. I always get either scratch resistance or extra hard lens, but last time my glasses must have been made without either. I paid for extra hard lenses but they looked sandblasted after three months of normal wear, completely unusable.
