Hodes Vision Optometry

Great optometrist and awesome staff! I opted to try contacts for the first time and Dr. Hodes and his staff made the process smooth and easy for a first timer. Thanks!

Very friendly staff, nice selection of glasses. Dr. Hodes is really competent as an eye doctor and very nice to work with. I really appreciated that I wasn’t pressured to buy the most expensive glasses/​contact lenses available, which can happen a lot at eye doctors and is NOT the way a patient should feel when receiving care. Overall one of the best experiences I’ve had at an eye doctor, speaking from someone who has had vision issues for 18+ years.

I drove from Hollywood to see Dr Hodes because of all the great reviews, and I was not mislead. Had a great visit with the doctor and his staff. My husband drove me so I could get my eyes dilated and he enjoyed the donuts in the waiting room, and even made an appointment for his eye exam next week.

I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Hodes and his staff. His staff were very friendly and informative, and kindly helped me think about the different brands of contact lens available and the various price points for me to make a decision on which product to get.
Dr. Hodes was also extremely friendly and thorough in his examination — he explained what each number on my prescription meant and gave me multiple samples of various products to try to see which one felt the most comfortable to me. I’d highly recommend Dr. Hodes and his staff if you ever need an eye examination.

I had a great experience there! Going back for sure.

Dr. Hodes is the best and the staff is amazing! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. Seriously.

I found this place on Unilocal about a year or so ago for refilling a prescription for my glasses.
Because I think my regular ophthalmologist is retiring, I thought I would get my eye examination here and I was pleasantly surprised and pleased about how thorough Dr. Hode was. He was very professional and knowledgeable which I appreciated.
But let’s face it – we all know who REALLY makes the office wheels turn and the business successful so a HUGE shout out to Rubi, Kessel, Duriye, Imelda and Brenda. Without these friendly, lovely and professional ladies to serve us, there’d be no business.
Thank you!!!

Decided to try out Dr. Hodes since it has a really good Unilocal rating. He and his staff really hold up to the hype.
First, the staff is very helpful, very friendly, and engaging. They really want you to have a nice experience and are patient while you shop around for glasses. They have a great selection also, which was a plus– a variety of styles, brands, and price range.
Dr. Hodes is just as engaging as his staff. I felt really comfortable asking him questions about issues I’ve been having with my eyes. He’s very informative about new technology in optometry, I even had an exam I’ve never had before involving two sets of dots.
I definitely recommend this optometrist!

Dr Hodes is great. He’s professional and puts you at ease. The receptionists are also friendly.

Been going to Dr. Hodes for quite a few years and he’s always taken very good care of me. The staff of amazing & funny young ladies have always been professional and helpful with choosing my frames and such. AMAZING DOCTOR & STAFF! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Not sure why «K.Q» gave 2 stars and such a horrible review… I guess we are all entitled to a bad day ever so often ;)

Dr Hodes is amazing. appointments are super accommodating and I got my prescription lens and prescription sunglasses super fast. I drive all the way from the valley to see him, I’ve been going to him for years and highly recommend him. Staff ladies are so nice too, customer service is amazing. Love this office!

I would not recommend Hodes optometry; I’ve experienced much better from my childhood optometrist or much better customer service. Also, in LA, go to EyedLA – they’re more detailed and thorough. Of course, it could have affected things since I came in an hour before closing.
Upon entering, I already had my prescription in hand and wanted some sunglasses. I originally wanted Ray-​Bans but their selection was limited. They offered the typical, «We can order it for you.» Any optometrist can do this but the reason I visit the place is to actually try the glasses on and figure out what looks good since I have a round face, I typically want glasses which help slim the face.
A younger gal who looked like she was in high school tried to assist me, keyword ‘Tried’. She did not suggest any frames – she only pulled frames from the shelf for me if they were locked up. This was kind of frustrating since I wasted about 30-​minutes trying on random frames. I never knew that I should now appreciate store sales reps who suggest frames. I’m not sure why they have a younger gal working here if she doesn’t suggest any frames which would look good on the customer. Also, when looking at the glasses, I didn’t appreciate that they had red stickers and green stickers on the back side/​front side. If it was on the inside, the 40% off sale no longer applied – this was pretty confusing since I found myself thinking, «Why are these not on sale anymore?»
My last complaint regarding this place is it took 2-​weeks to get my sunglasses. That’s waaay too long. At another optometrist, they have a 72-​hour or at least no more than a week turnaround time. To top it off, I called Hodes around 5x to which they only returned one of those phone calls and to find out my glasses were ready, I had to call them. That’s not acceptable when compared to other eyeglass places like my regular optometrist. I think I’d rather drive to Pasadena than come here.
Go to EyedLA nearby instead, they’re awesome!!!

I was on a motorcycle ride in the area lost one of my contacts call in and ruby help me out with no problems even gave me a free contact kit this place is awesome Best place around

They were very good with my son. I think we’ve found a new family otometrist.

What is there to express that hasn’t already been shared from the previous 117 5-​star reviews? Because they’re all true!
Introducing 5-​star review 118:
Been going to Hodes Vision since 2005 (when they opened) for reading glasses. Dr Corey Hodes is the kindest & most caring medical specialist & Dr I’ve ever encountered. He spends time with you & is seriously interested in all his patients/​customers. He is genuine and gives nothing but the best treatment.
His entire staff follows his lead because they’re all smiles, extremely friendly & always helpful. Ruby, who has been there for many years, seems to be the sweet leader of the pack… and it’s obvious they all enjoy working there.
Do yourself a favor and get yourself & eyesite to Hodes Vision because they’re the best and you won’t regret it. Trust me!

Dr. Hodes is great and so is his staff! Especially Ruby she is the best !!! I’m glad that I have found and eye doctor that truly cares and goes above and beyond my eyewear needs!

Great service, great selection. Took my insurance so it wasn’t any more then the big chains. I’ll keep coming back.

Great service.
I was looking to find a new optometrist and Hodes is walkable to where I work. The staff was helpful, the service was perfect and I received everything I wanted with my visit. I happily recommend this place to all my co-​workers (and people who need an eye exam in my life).

— Dr. Hodes is very thorough and helpful in coming up with optimal solutions for glasses and contacts for your individual needs. When I decided on a brand of contacts to try, he gave me a sample to try for a couple weeks and invited me to let him know if it didn’t work out so that we could try something else. I really appreciated the flexibility and feeling like my feedback was welcomed.
— He and his staff were so helpful in my multiple visits to bend my glasses just right (because I’m indecisive and have an annoyingly flat nasal bridge).
— The staff are so accommodating, whether it be figuring out a time for me to pick up contacts (they’ll also ship to your home for free, but it takes longer) or helping me figure out the most affordable product solution with my insurance, or taking time to give fashionable input on new glasses.
— I know that customer service isn’t the only thing we should judge healthcare providers on, but it’s the most visible part of the experience and I want to commend Dr. Hodes’ office on doing a great job. Medically speaking, he’s always seemed very thorough and gave sound advice that is in line with what I’ve read and researched.
Thanks and I’ll see you next year for my next eye exam!

Thank you Rubi for saving my eye!
My (now former) optometrist left me hanging today when one of the contact lenses they prescribed broke off in my eye. Desperate and unable to see, I called Hodes because it’s right down the street.
I called ahead and came in. I was seated right away, and Rubi proceeded to remove the broken lens gratis and gave me a complimentary lubricating wash for my now-​bloodshot eye.
I will DEFINITELY be back to make Hodes my regular optometrist!
