I found this highly-rated office on Yelp, and thought I would give it a try. I saw Dr. Lorin Vogel, and was amazed at how carefully he explained everything that he was doing (because I was interested to hear). I really got the feeling that he saw his patients as people, not just cases to examine. He seemed to have an excellent understanding of what he was doing as well. This is not too surprising because his father is also an optometrist...
On the basis of my good experience, I made another appointment right after my visit, this time for my 2-year-old daughter. We just returned from seeing him today. I chose to have her see Dr. Lorin Vogel again because their website mentioned that he had specialized in pediatric vision care while in Optometry school. And that showed in today's office visit. He is very good with young children, and put my normally-shy daughter at ease right away. He also caters his vision exam to the age of the child, and has plenty of age-specific tools and tests at his disposal.
My entire family will return to this office for our vision checkups. This is an excellent establishment.

Warmth and personal individuated care from everyone starting at the top with Dr. Thomas Kim, Simon the embryologist, Margie the Office Manager, Ana and Kelly the andrologists, on down to the rest of the support staff.
My husband and I were initially referred to Dr. Thomas Kim by our Ob/Gyn (also incredible -- delivered more than 3000 babies in the last 30 years, missing only two deliveries), after every imaginable test showed nothing wrong. Dr. Kim came highly recommended as a doctor's doctor, a researcher, rather than a businessman.
We interviewed 6 other Reproductive Endos in the Santa Monica/West L.A. area, all highly reputable. The six others had well honed and rather good selling pitches. But none inspired trust.
My husband and I are both lawyers, who do our homework. I spent a lot of time researching and reading medical journals. Dr. Kim was not only remarkably knowledgable, but amazingly receptive to our questions. He's also a lot more willing to discuss and back up his medical opinions with actual research papers. None of the other doctors was nearly as receptive to our cross examinations, and certainly, none was as forthcoming when he or she didn't have an answer. If Dr. Kim didn't have an answer, or wasn't sure, he'd do the research and call us back. We trust Dr. Kim as we've never trusted another professional.
The 6 other Reproductive Endos' offices also felt like a mill. From the first impression, which is the waiting room, I felt cramped and crowded. For the money these others were charging, you'd think they'd invest in a comfortable environment. Additionally, the staff were typically indifferent at best. Being squeezed in w/others in the waiting rooms does not allow one to relax during a very stressful period.
In contrast, the environment at Dr. Kim's CHA center is worth noting. It's very large, comfortable with overs

Dr. Ma was inspired by the scripture of the bible, so she decided to open a clinic which can offered the low income families a low price medical care. The clinic is very nice. Most of the volunteers come from her church. They are gentle and nice. Dr. Ma is very professional. She is the person you can trust.

I have been going to the see Dr. Rothschild for less than one month, and I am truly amazed at the results I have experienced in such a short time. I have degenerative disk disease in my lower back and neck which has caused pain severe enough to take pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs on a daily basis for over ten years. I have not slept through the night for as long as I can remember - the pain would wake me and I would need pain killers to go back to sleep. But over the last several days I’ve been able to go without my painkillers. I’ve been going to bed and not waking up until the sun is shining the next morning. A month ago I would never have imagined that to be possible. I admit I was skeptical, but I am now a true believer.

It is amazing in this day and age to find a place in Los Angeles where your pharmacist actually knows your name. Apothecary Pharmacy is truly a neighborhood pharmacy. Besides the warm atmosphere, this pharmacy takes a holistic approach to caring for its patients. It carries both traditional medications and a large section of holistic medicines. The only drawbacks are shorter hours and because of its size, some medications are not always in stock, though they will get them for you by the next day.

I had a funny experience with Dr. Wong. She is a great optometrist. Latest techniques; updated equipment; and she has a great manner as a doctor. She makes you feel like she is self-assured and expert and that you are in good hands. So I had no problems with my exam.
It's when we came to the buying glasses part of the transaction. I think she smooth-talked me into getting glasses that were more expensive than I would have otherwise gotten. Part of that is that it is a very stylish place and a lot of the frames are expensive ($250 and up). And part of it is that the experience was just so smooth. It wasn't until I was driving home that I thought, Did I really pay $300 for glasses?
That said, if you want a good experience and you want fashion-forward glasses, Dr. Wong is a great person to see.

Good location... they're generally cheaper than other brite smile locations for some reason even though they border Beverly Hills. It's one hour and the whitening lasts up to 4 years I'm told... but it could be about 2. It's worth a try if you have really yellow teeth!

I went to Dr. Rivkin to have the non-surgical nose procedure and was surprised that there really was no down time! He and his staff were great at answering all of my questions both before and after. I have since had my lips and eyes done by Dr. Rivkin and cannot say enough good things about my experience. I highly recommend his office to anyone looking for non-surgical solutions to common problems.
