For over four decades I have been relying on Dr. Vogel for my eye care. The unparalleled professional care he provides along with his extreme friendliness make each and every visit to his office a great pleasure to me. I am blessed and feel lucky to call Dr. Vogel MY EYE CARE DOCTOR. Christine and Monica in the front office are also extremely helpful and wonderful to deal with. Please make an appointment with Dr. Vogel for your eye care and you will agree with my assessment entirely.

Village Eyes is a great place for eye care, glasses and contacts. Our family has trusted them for over 12 years. We’ve always gotten great care from Dr Vogel. Their new safety protocols make for a safe visit. Would highly recommend.

I’ve been going to Village Eyes and “seeing” Dr. Golbahar for over 10 years! Everyone in the office is always professional and nice. You get great service and doctors that actually care and check-in on you. My family and I love Dr. Golbahar and Village Eyes.

I've been going to Village Eyes Optometry and Dr. Jon Vogel for about forty (40) years. I've always had positive interactions with everyone there. Spending quality time with their patients (my wife goes there as well for the last 22 years or so.) They are knowledgable, friendly and professional. Dr. Jon Vogel is an amazing nice guy. We would highly recommend Village Eyes Optometry. Thank you.

Nov 22, 2020
I’ve been suffering with a very dry eye, maladies, and the sensation of it being poked for two years. I’ve seen an ophthalmologist, taken various Rx drops that burned and hindered my vision. Dr. Lorin Vogel and Dr. Jon Vogel presented amazing in-depth imaging and assuaged my fears. I received a new diagnosis, the treatment is working and I have full faith in their knowledge. The doctors are kind, great listeners, easy to talk to and wonderfully excited about their work which I’ve never seen before, and I’ve worked with doctors. Also! The staff are professional, efficient and kind, too. Thank you!
Nov 21, 2020
On time for appointment. And had their full attention until my decisions were made. But no sense of rushing me through for the next appointment. As always, a nice experience.
Nov 20, 2020
This business was extremely careful at this pandemic time. I felt very safe and was able to complete my eye exam with no problems.
Nov 18, 2020
Even though this place didn't accept my insurance, they were still able to see me and actually find the issue with my eye. I wish I could afford the treatment from them but such is life. I would definitely recommend going to them, super knowledgeable and actually care! I've been to 4 other eye docs from optometry, to ophthalmology, to retina specialist < these could not figure it out.... BUT VILLAGE EYES OPTOMETRY COULD! There is an resolution to your eye issues and you can find that answer with Village Eyes.
Nov 18, 2020
All around excellent experience. This has been true for the past 40+ years that I have had Dr. Vogel (Jon) as my optometrist. I always feel like my eyes are in good hands as he explains the condition of my eyes clearly and in detail. I feel very fortunate to have him as my optometrist. I have recommended him to several of my friends.
Nov 1, 2020
Dr. Jon Vogel is the best optometrist ever!! His bedside manners is great he is so knowledgeable he takes the time to explain whatever is going with yours eyes. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Dr Donna Weiss and the staff at Village Eyes are awesome! They provide an excellent eye care experience with professionalism and excellent personal care. Their office is exceptionally clean, comfortable and the location is in a convenient location. You will not be disappointed and your eyes will get the excellent care they deserve!
Oct 28, 2020
I have been going to Dr. Jon Vogel for 40 years. I drive 35 miles but I don’t get the same quality of care in Thousand Oaks so it’s worth it to me.
Oct 18, 2020
Decades of Excellence and Exemplary Service
Oct 17, 2020
Village Eyes Optometry by far has provided me with top notch service. From Dr Vogel to all those in the front they treat you like family and each visit is better than the one before. I highly recommend any one needing eye care should give them a call. Tell them Adam sent you.

Oct 8, 2020
Dr. Loren Vogel is extremely knowledgeable and kind, and also straightforward when explaining the treatment plan and choices. Saba the optician is really nice to work with and she knows her stuff too. Both were amenable to my concerns when trying to find the best lense/eyewear option for me. All thumbs up!
Oct 4, 2020
I saw Dr. Jon Vogel. He was excellent, very knowledgeable, very responsive to my concerns, courteous and friendly. This is my second time there. I also ordered my glasses there itself, it was very easy to select frames and type of glasses. Ppl are very professional and friendly. This is the place for my future eye tests. I even requested appointment for my spouse. Highly recommended.
Oct 1, 2020
I have been seeing Dr L Vogel for years. He is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He takes his time with you and answers any questions. I would highly recommend him. The office staff is great too. The office is clean and during Covid I felt very safe there.
Sep 28, 2020
Saw Jon Vogel for my annual exam. Was totally comfortable with the Covid precautions taken and felt SAFE. Appointment was on time and there were few people in the office at the same time. Tests were clear and charges appropriate.
Sep 20, 2020
Always a great visit! Thank you to the staff and to Dr. Vogel for everything!
Sep 17, 2020
Though this location is not near home, I enjoy my visits. They are very thorough and I’m given a good explanation of my eye health. The tech and dr are also very patient with me as I am a blinker and they never make me feel bad for not being the easiest patient. I appreciate their professionalism
Sep 13, 2020
I love coming here. They have the best staff, most excellent doctor (Dr. Golbahar) who is super knowledgeable and amazing "bedside manners". Although my eyesight is deteriorating from age. . . at least I have full care and help along this inevitable trip. . . Thanks Dr. Golbahar.
Sep 7, 2020
Excellent service by very knowledgeable, friendly and patient doctors who spend time with you and are very thorough. Very clean and COVID sage.
Sep 2, 2020
I drive to Village Eyes from Huntington Beach because I trust Dr Vogel, who explains everything fully, they have a good selection of frames, and they do all the work with insurance. Now I’m also appreciative of the care they take to keep everyone safe.
Aug 30, 2020
I was able to get an appointment for “blue light” lenses right away. My visit was handled professionally and my order was submitted within 15 minutes after I arrived. Social distancing and masks were adhered to and I felt totally safe.
Aug 27, 2020
Professional, knowledgable, courteous, and efficient.
Aug 26, 2020
Village Eyes is the best! Very professional and courteous throughout my visit. Dr. Annie Hu takes her time to explain her assessment so that you feel comfortable and knowledgeable about your visit.
Aug 23, 2020
Been coming for over 4 years and love every doctor I've seen. The office is clean and pleasant and staff are efficient and on-time and helpful. I recommend to all friends and family.
Aug 17, 2020
Love this eye Dr and he does a thorough and fantastic job.
Aug 16, 2020
I have been seeing Dr. Vogel for over 20 years and highly recommend him and the services at Village Eyes Optometry. I was especially impressed by what they are doing to keep people safe during Covid times.
Aug 15, 2020
Very professional and expert vision doctors. Jon Vogel and Donna Weiss helped me with getting my hard contact lens fitting properly for my keratoconus. Donna Weiss especially has gone above and beyond to help getting my hard contact lenses to fit properly and helping me with getting my insurance coverage. I will definitely be returning to Village Eyes Optometry.
Aug 13, 2020
Excellent eye care! Feel confident that I consistently learn helpful strategies which impact my daily vision care. Truly enjoy the experience! I appreciate the wonderful eye glasses frame selection at Village Eyes Optometry and the warm, supportive staff. Many thanks!
Aug 12, 2020
It is the best place to find the right contacts, get them fitted correctly and they teach you how to put them in.
Aug 5, 2020
I would like to indicate to you that my service in the optometry department for a new pair of glasses was just excellent. The lady who assisted me was so extremely patient. When told that I could not order the same pair of frames I had previously obtained from Village Eyes, the optometrist patiently explained that as my frame were manufactured in Japan, the trade ports there had been closed due to the Corona Virus. In setting an appointment with me to adjust the frames, the lady was just a model of professionalism. I would highly recommend her and hope she remains a professional fixture in your organization.
Aug 3, 2020
Dr. Annie Hu is excellent. Support staff are very nice.
Aug 1, 2020
Excellent experience all around - as usual!
Jul 30, 2020
Really very helpful at helping to select our new frames.
Jul 29, 2020
In addition to being extremely competent, Dr Weiss is also kind and caring. That is why I am willing to travel from Thousand Oaks to see her. She is that good.
Jul 24, 2020
Great people to work with in getting my eyes back on course. Look forward to getting back there for my yearly checkup.
Jul 23, 2020
Dr's. Vogel are the best and also make visits fun. Also the opticians and staff are cool. I have been coming here for literally 20 years, first to Dr. Jon and then to Dr. Lorin, even though I moved to the Bay Area several years ago. Great to see they can keep all this up during a pandemic with the protocols. I even picked out some glasses frames. Very easy.
Jul 18, 2020
I really liked the Village Eyes Optometry because of the way they handled the Covid 19 situation - only customers who have an appointment are allowed to enter, their temperature is measured at the door and they are sent to wash their hands before they go into the office for a checkup. The doctor was amazing - she spent an entire hour with m explaining every procedure and answering in detail all my questions.
Jul 17, 2020
Always enjoy my visits here. All the current COVID precautions are in effect and I feel very safe at this medical office. Went to pick up my computer eyeglasses - they fit perfectly and were wonderful from second one. For those of you working on a computer for several hours a day, I HIGHLY encourage you to get computer glasses! I got my first pair in 2006 and goodbye headaches and eye strain! I had no idea what a difference they would make! Love the office and staff and you will too!
Jul 13, 2020
Took excellent precautions to avoid contact during these troubled times.
Jul 5, 2020
They are great and very nice !!!!!!!! all is super clean .

Jun 27, 2020
As always I was treated like a guest. I feel fortunate to get my eyes checked and glasses dispensed at a friendly and caring place. Refreshing like the good old days.
Jun 20, 2020
I hadn’t gotten my eyes checked in years, went in to see Dr. Weiss and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. As soon as I arrived the staff was friendly and welcoming. Dr. Weiss saw me right away, she is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, dynamic and fun. She thoroughly examined my eyes, explained every step of the examination, and took the time to discuss all my options moving forward. I never thought I’d say this, but she‘s managed to make the experience of going to the doctor a very enjoyable one. Doctors, take note!
Jun 19, 2020
Excellent staff and doctor. Very efficient and conscious of cleanliness procedures during pandemic. Pleased with my experience and have already referred two colleagues.
Jun 18, 2020
Always love my visit to the office. Very calm and Zen like. First visit since the pandemic. Very clean and organized and I felt very safe and protected during entire check-in, exam and choosing new eyeglasses process.
Jun 9, 2020
I consider Village Eyes Optometry my family - seeing Dr. Jon for years and now seeing his son, Dr. Lorin for many years, Village Eyes is an AMAZING group of wonderful caring and compassionate human beings! I know I am in the best of care each and every appointment I have and I know I am with the best of the best - I could list each and every staff person's name as they all are part of this wonderful establishment but I hope you make an appointment and I know you will feel the same way that I do! Thank you for ongoing and continued flawless service and care! Best, Kit Spikings

Very professional environment and treatment, with advanced technology equipment etc
May 31, 2020
Very nice office. Everyone was great.. Didn’t have to wait long. Dr Vogel did a good job of explaining a procedure that I needed. He even had time to do it. The next day my eyes seemed to be back to normal, not irritated as before.
May 28, 2020
Village Eyes Optometry is a highly professional and highly caring eye facility. I have the upmost respect and trust for the eye care and guidance they have given me these past 40 years, from eye exams, to LASIK, and through my vitreous eye hemorrhages. The fabulous Village Eyes Optometry will always have my gratitude and support!
May 26, 2020
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Vogel for over 25 years. The office is clean, pleasant professional staff and helpful with everything from understanding insurance reimbursements to selecting frames. My prescriptions have always been spot on. The frame selection may not always be the trendiest but they have a nice selection and you could always bring in a frame that you prefer.
May 25, 2020
Good job running the business under the current circumstances. I felt safe and got a good check-up.
May 23, 2020
As usual, The staff at Village Eyes Optometry, is first class. Dr. Vogel has been my doctor for so many years and it’s always the same, professional, helpful, and right on with his treatment. Thank you to the entire office.

Dr. Jon Vogel has been my optometrist for 30+ years. He's the best there is. takes his time and is even fun to be with.
Feb 23, 2020
Dr Vogel and staff top-notch as always.
Feb 21, 2020
I am a returning patient and very much appreciate Dr. Jon Vogel's thorough exam. I however was very unpleased with the gentelman dispensing my new glasses. He seemed more interested in chatting with his co-worker than helping me select glasses. I luckily knew what I was interested in and was able to quickly select a pair. I'd suggest speaking with this employee on better patient communication and attention. Thank you
Feb 20, 2020
Dr Golbahar is always very aware of my condition and gives the best evaluation
Feb 19, 2020
Perfect vision care center for my family
Feb 18, 2020
Excellent staff and dry eye treatment at Village Eyes Optometry. Highly recommend.
Feb 10, 2020
Very efficient and professional treatment as always. Jon Vogel is truly accomplished and I’m lucky to have him as my optometrist. It’s always a pleasure to be in his office.
Feb 6, 2020
Love getting my eyes checked! I've been going to Dr. Jon Vogel for years and he is very professional and kind.
Feb 3, 2020
Dr. Lorin was kind, reassuring, thorough. I'm so pleased to have found a wonderful optometrist.
Jan 29, 2020
Dr Vogel is a very good optician but I was annoyed with the long wait after he dilated my eyes and was seeing other patients. My eyes were fully dilated after 15 minutes yet I had to wait another 20 minutes for him to return. My routine eye exam took 1 hour and 45 minutes when I easily could have been in and out in under an hour.
Jan 25, 2020
you are all the best. I couldn't wish for better service. thank you all for taking such good care of me!!!!
Jan 23, 2020
I've been seeing Dr. Jon Vogel for decades and I wouldn't want to see anybody else. He has never steered me wrong. And he has never tried to sell me anything he did not think that I needed.
Jan 23, 2020
Dr. Golbahar is amazing - efficient, thorough, and personable. I have been seeing her for 14 years and am happy to drive an hour to see her. The office staff is friendly and helpful.
Jan 20, 2020
I find comfort and trust in Village Eyes Optometry. Their tests are thorough, beyond anything I ever experienced with "big box" or chain retailers. The test results are delivered in "real time", with full explanations. Two years ago, my first eye glasses changed my life. And no "pushing" of new glasses when subsequent tests found no significant changes in my vision. A sense professional integrity.
Jan 12, 2020
Village Eyes is a caring, helpful business that ensures your eyes and eyewear needs are taken care of. The staff is friendly and capable of meeting your vision needs.
Jan 7, 2020
I have been coming here for years, always pleased with quality of service
Dec 31, 2019
Dr. G is always helpful and knowledgeable and before I leave the appointment she makes sure I have her contact info in case I need her further.
Dec 28, 2019
I’ve been seeing Dr Vogel since 1980 when I was a Student at UCLA. Even though I could use my vision insurance at Kaiser, I keep coming back to Dr Vogel and trust him with my eyes and eyesight.
Dec 26, 2019
Great visit! Highly recommend!
Dec 13, 2019
Very friendly and knowledgeable Doctors and staff. Very easy to make appointments and they send you text reminders. Dr. Vogel father & son are very friendly and professional. I got the opportunity to be treated by both as well as Dr. Weiss is a specialist in fitting contact lenses in keratoconus patients such as myself. They are very pleasant to deal with and go out of their way to make sure they give their patients the best customer service. I’m a very happy and satisfied customer and would definitely recommend them for your vision needs.
Dec 11, 2019
Dr. Jon Vogel is always super friendly and willing to take extra time to explain my eye health to me. I recommend him to my friends who ask. It's a quick and painless check up every time!
Dec 11, 2019
Great visit with new optometrist. The battery of tests was complete and efficiently administered. The doctor reviewed everything openly and in a way that was understandable and respectful. So glad I switched.
Nov 29, 2019
Dr. Lorin Vogel is really amazing at what he does. I had a standard eye exam with him, and his care for the patient was evident in every aspect of it. Somehow, even though the exam was entirely routine, afterward I felt like I had just experience the highest level of care.
Nov 28, 2019
Dr golbahar is the best! She spent so much time! I truly appreciate her.
Nov 26, 2019
Careful evaluation and excellent advice, Much appreciated
Nov 23, 2019
I was seen quickly and with deference to my particular needs.

Dr Jon Vogel is a 5 star! I have been seeing him for years and trust him completely. The office is professional and always immaculate too.
Nov 14, 2019
We've been going here for over 15 years and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
Nov 11, 2019
I have been going to Village eye optometry for over 40 yrs. I moved 35 miles north several years ago and I still go here every year. Dr. Jon Vogel and his son Lauren are the best. I highly recommend them. They are extremely professional and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough good things about them.
Nov 10, 2019
I am always happy with the service of Dr. Annie Hu at Village Eyes Optometry. She is very professional, accommodating and efficient.

Great staff and Dr. Hu is the best! The staff is warm and friendly. And so is Dr. Hu. Very thorough examinations that cover all areas of optical health and provides detailed results to help you understand your current and future optical status. And Dr. Hu provides an excellent patient/doctor experience. Thank you!
Oct 24, 2019
Dr. (Lorin) Vogel is the best optometrist I've had in over 35 years of seeing eye care specialists.
Oct 23, 2019
My visit with Dr Hu was excellent. She is patient, kind, and explains results thoroughly.
Oct 21, 2019
First visit there, but they seemed friendly and competent. No pressure to buy anything after the eye exam.
Oct 18, 2019
As always its a pleasure to see Dr. John Vogel. He's kind, professional and always welcomes questions. Been seeing him for over 25 years and he's the best!
Oct 17, 2019
Nice and clear office. Dr. Weiss was excellent. Very nice personality. She was very kind and thorough each and every step of the exam. This was my first time wearing contacts and Dr. Weiss took the time to explain and showed me how to wear them which was very easy. The front office explained to me the insurance and my cost before I went forth with the treatment. Awesome crew
Oct 17, 2019
Honest dependable and high quality care at Village Eyes. Beautiful selection of frames. Concerned and experienced doctors. Highly recommend IF they are accepting new customers.
Oct 15, 2019
I've been going to Village Eyes and Dr. Golbahar for over 10 years and will continue for the next 10 years. The office staff is friendly and welcoming. Dr. Golbahar is the BEST! Great selection of frames for glasses. And, just a great place overall for your eye(s) health.
Oct 11, 2019
The office was very professional and helpful as always. Dr vogel is the best eye doctor existing. My experience at this office years after years has always met beyond expectation.

I have been seeing Dr Jon Vogel for more years than I care to state. He is amazing, caring, and so knowledgeable. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyes!
Sep 4, 2019
I've been going to Village Eyes for 20 years. Perhaps the best health care provider I've ever had. The entire staff is an exemplar of care and kindness in the profession!
Aug 31, 2019
I saw Dr. Golbahar for a typical eye exam. She's wonderful and explained things to me in a clear way that was easy to understand. Also the gentleman that she referred me to in order to explain my insurance coverage and who showed me glasses was also kind and patient which I appreciated. I'd be happy to come back for my next visit.
Aug 30, 2019
Dr. Jon Vogel is excellent! He has been my optometrist for over 2 decades and has always taken great care of my eyes... ;)
Aug 29, 2019
Wonderful appt! My eye issue (red, dry eye) was resolved after this visit and using the prescribed eye drops x 2 days. I have been coming here exclusively for about the last 20 years. I get all my glasses here also!
Aug 26, 2019
Dr GolBahar was amazing, she really took care of me. Thank you.
Aug 5, 2019
Dr. Vogel is wonderful! He pays a lot of attention and listens to what his patient tells him. He creates a comfortable environment and makes the process clear and simple. Looking forward to coming next year!
Aug 4, 2019
I came in as a new patient. Everything from the initial phone call, to theeye exam and contact lens tutorial (my first time getting contacts) felt very professional and welcoming. Bonus for playing good music in the waiting room too. I am very happy going to this Optometrist!
Jul 31, 2019
Dr. Vogel and staff were great, enjoyed my visit and set me up with some great glasses. Thanks!
Jul 29, 2019
I lost count of how many years I’ve been a patient of Dr. Vogel. I hope he never decides to retire, I would be lost.
Jul 28, 2019
Amazing experience with a very knowledgeable Doctor with perfect diagnosis. Very professional office and staff. Very helpful in every way.
Jul 25, 2019
Great care and great service!
Jul 20, 2019
Village eyes is a hidden gem in Westwood Village. Dr. Golbahar is extremely knowledgable, patient, and gracious with her expertise. The practice at large has equipment through which they are able to offers additional optic scans and analysis, above and beyond the standard eye exam, all for a reasonable fee. Their frame offerings, if you care about that sort of thing, are very stylish and updated often, and the office guarantees work and adjustments when you purchase through them. I've been a patient at Village Eyes since 2015 and remain very happy with my treatment. Would happily recommend to anyone looking for quality long-term eye care on the West Side. Worth the drive.
Jul 19, 2019
Dr. Golbahar is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and is very kind and patient. She always explains all of the options available and always makes sure that I have the best fitting lenses and the best prescription for my complicated vision situation. I would recommend her to anyone!!!

I usually don't write reviews, but I love to share my successful experience with Dr. Lorin Vogel and Dry Eyes Los Angeles, with the hope that it can help others who suffer from dry eyes and are looking for different treatment options. I was lucky enough to find out about Dry Eyes Los Angeles when my dry eye condition was so severe that it literally had taken over my normal life. I was already told by many ophthalmologists that there was no cure and I had to learn to live with my chronic dry eye condition. Even though I used both prescription and OTC eye drops and followed every instruction for home remedies, I wasn't able to spend a day without suffering from at least some of the symptoms, including watery eyes, redness, itchiness, stinging, burning, grittiness, pain, fatigue, and droopiness. Recently, I had even hard time driving because of the symptoms. My first appointment with Dr. Vogel was for the assessment of my condition, using a special device, to determine if I'm a good candidate for the treatment. I found his office very pleasant, well-equipped, and the staff were very professional and super friendly. During that visit, I found out that my problem was not necessarily lack of tears (as other doctors had suggested), but rather lack of enough active oil glands in my eyelids to prevent the tears from evaporating too quickly. Dr. Vogel used a device called Mibo ThermoFlo, and manual expression, to open the existing clogged glands, so they produce the necessary moisturizing oil for my eyes again. So far, I have finished the required four treatment sessions, and I also went back for a maintenance treatment. I cannot even explain how happy and grateful I am with the treatments. Yes, I still have dry eye condition, and I still need to use eye drops and heat pads - I never expected miracles. But, I got the relief that I hoped for, and it enabled me to live a normal life again, without the constant agony of my dry eye condition.

Jon and the entire staff make the exam easy. Very thorough, kind people. I wouldn’t trust my eyes to anyone else. All options are carefully explained. A long time patient!

Dr. Vogel is the absolute BEST! He's been my Optomologist since I was a student at UCLA, 30 years ago. He's professional, supportive, and my family members now see him as well. He enjoys surfing and has an easy going, yet professional and friendly manner. His office staff was also friendly, helpful and upbeat. Thank you Dr. Vogel!

I needed an appointment quickly in order to use a new devise to help w my disability. Drs Jon and Loren Vogel gave me an appointment very quickly and helped fit the glasses to my special needs. I have been a pt for 23 years and appreciate research based treatments and the personalized, meaningful care.

Everyone is so nice, so efficient, rarely a wait time, and Dr. Jon Vogel is the sweetest man ever!
Jun 20, 2019
I recently had my 3rd annual appointment and the service and care continues to be excellent. I've had eye exams since I was a child and Dr. Vogel is one of the most attentive doctor's I've ever had. He answers all of my questions and even scheduled some follow ups out of extra caution for my particular situation. I'm grateful for his and his staff's attention. The location itself is always maintained, clean, and they have new technology every time I go.

There are many reasons to support Village Eyes Optometry. 1) Fantastic care and patient service. I have been personally going there for the past four years, and they are the first optometrist office that has even bothered to attempt something other than that air puffer to test eye pressure. 2) Great environment: very clean, organized, and modern with a wide range of fantastic products from frames to contact lenses. 3) Comprehensive results. Dr. Hu has taken great care to explain the ins and outs of my results to me, without using medical jargon. Also, a fantastic doctor.

Caring, knowledgeable, dr VOGEL is the best

It is always a pleasure to visit because you are warmly greeted. The staff are both pleasant and efficient. Of course, it is always a surprise to see other Bruins there for appointments. On my last visit, I as able that with the former Dean of the UCLA School of Law. Village Optometry is definitely part of the UCLA family.

I am delighted to write this review for Village Eyes Optometry. For nearly forty years I have been visiting Village Eyes Optometry for the health of my eyes. I am truly blessed by the professional help that I have been consistently receiving from Dr. Jon Vogel and his son Dr. Lorin Vogel. Both of them are the most competent and compassionate doctors one could hope for the eye care needs. I have gotten contact lenses and eye glasses from Village Eyes Optometry fitted by both Dr. Jon and Dr. Lorin Vogel. Dr. Vogel always spends a lot of time checking my eyes thoroughly and carefully to get the right prescription for my eyes. It is always a labor of love for them to get the best possible prescription and the right lenses. The kindness and the compassion they have showed over the years for the health of my eyes are simply exceptional. Their office has all the state of the art equipment for the best vision care. Dr. Vogel provides quite useful information on all the available latest lens technology so that I could make a decision on them. The front office is staffed by very friendly and competent personal and it is a pleasure to deal with them. Ms. Christine in the front office is extremely pleasant and very helpful. Overall, visiting Village Eyes Optometry has been a very pleasant experience for me for nearly four decades because of the unparalleled professional knowledge, competence and compassion of Dr. Vogel.

We've been going to Village Eyes Optometry for decades. We never feel "rushed" and we always receive excellent care. The level of professionalism and friendliness have always been great. We have highly recommended the office to friends and family. Dr. Jon Vogel is an outstanding doctor.

I have been going to Dr. Vogel office for over 25 years or more. He saved my eyes . He is just one amazing doctor. He is very knowledgeable and up to date with all the eye news . Very professional, very caring , very pleasant. And the staff are so amazing and helpful
Apr 18, 2019
Very friendly and courteous
Apr 13, 2019
I assume the stars are for the overall visit...The online presence a bit over the top. I get a lot of emails form you that I consider junk. I've received 3 emails since my visit two days ago. I care about your in-office service, not your on-line presence. I'm already a patient because of what happens when I visit the office.Your online presence is irrelevant to me.
Apr 11, 2019
Great team and great selection of frames! I went in for an eye exam, which was 10 years overdue. The office is super clean and use all the latest technology. The selection of frames is great as well. Insurance type: VSP

Dr. Vogel was very kind and he explained to me in detail about the eye exam. He was very professional and thorough. Will go there again.
Apr 3, 2019
It is with extreme pleasure that I am writing this review. Everything that I say here comes from the bottom of heart. My first visit to Dr. Jon Vogel dates back to nearly forty years. Right from my very first visit to the most recent visit a few days ago, I am extremely thankful for the excellent help that Dr. Jon Vogel and his son Dr. Lorin Vogel have been providing for the health of my eyes. Every single time I visit Village Eyes Optometry, Dr. Vogel treats me as if I am member of his family. They both treat me with utmost kindness and provide me with the best eye care that I can get any where in Los Angeles. Dr. Vogel always clearly explained every issue with my eyes and provided the best options to remedy them. They both never gave up on me until the best possible outcome was reached for my eyes. For that, they repeatedly have to order different lenses and have to test them on my eyes. They did this for me just about every time I visited their office. Most importantly, they have done this for me with great pleasure and enthusiasm. Dr. Jon Vogel and Dr. Lorin Vogel are exceptional doctors with great compassion for their patients. I am blessed to have them in my life for my eye care. I would also like to complement the front desk personnel, especially Ms. Christine for their professionalism and their alacrity to help. To top it all off, Village Eyes Optometry carries the state of the art equipment for excellent eye care that we all need.
Mar 30, 2019
Village Optometry has been a part of my life for over thirty years and I would not go to any other! Village Optometry is an amazing FAMILY environment and each and every staff member along with the AMAZING VOGEL family cannot be beat! Each and every patient is treated with utmost kindness, compassion and you will always have a feeling of being cared for in the utmost professional and compassionate manner one always hopes for when seeing a health care professional! I could sing the praises of Village Eyes Optometry for hours! Thank you for being a very special part of my health/eye care life for many years and I look forward to many more! Thank you!

For well over thirty seven years, Dr. Jon Vogel has provided me with great eye care that I could ever hope for. I would always trust both Dr. Jon Vogel and Dr. Lorin Vogel for all my eye care.

The front office is staffed by highly competent personal who could take care of all the insurance and billing details. All the staff members are very pleasant to deal with and I like their friendly demeanor very much. Ms. Christine in the front office has been extremely helpful to me for so many years. Overall, I am very fortunate to have Dr. Vogel and his staff for their great service for my optometry care.
Feb 17, 2019
Excellent service and wonderful staff that was able to accommodate my busy schedule. Everyone in the office was very professional and efficient. The only drawback was the expensive price of contacts, but it was worth it for the convenience of ordering them on the same day as my appointment.

This is a family owned and operated business that has cared for my family’s vision for over three decades. I am not an easy consumer of services, and that longevity reflects the high professional standards and friendly atmosphere we have always enjoyed. I recommend Village Eyes without hesitation or reservation.
Oct 19, 2018
I've been here before, although it's been a few years. As before, great service and everything was explained very clearly to me. They also had a very good understanding of what my insurance covered and laid out my options.
Oct 18, 2018
Everything was great. We've been using "Village Eyes Optometry" and Doctor Golbahar to check our vision for many years!

Dr Golbahar is great. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. Her follow up is nothing short of impressive. And she is so nice! I didn’t know what to expect when I walked into Village Optometry ( recommended by my top opthamologist) and my experience has been excellent. I would definitely recommend.

Jul 23, 2018
I've been going to Dr. Vogel a couple of years now and I really appreciate the care he provides. I've been wearing glasses/contacts since I was a child so I've seen a doctor every year for my annual appointments. I've seen maaaany doctors before but Dr. Vogel is one of the few who has taken the time to answer all of my questions and is very thorough in his appointments. He spotted something in my eye and then scheduled me for two subsequent check-ups after that (at no additional cost) just to monitor it. Both appointments were successful and it gave me incredible peace of mind. I have never received service like that before. Dr. Vogel and his staff treat their clients well and I'm especially grateful for the quality of his care. I highly recommend this location (even despite the lack of parking!).
Jul 14, 2018
The woman who we saw was excellent. She explained everything thoroughly and was very kind and professional.

Village Eyes Optometry is the BEST place to go to get your eyes checked. The registration process was seamless, the staff very friendly and give options if needed.
Mar 6, 2018
Excellent service! I was seen within 5 minutes after arriving for my appointment, and Dr. Golbahar spent a good amount of time reviewing the condition of my eyes and addressing my concerns. At no point did I feel rushed, or pressured into purchasing some of the recommended products.

Great service! The staff was friendly and Dr. Golbahar was personable and efficient. I would give 4.5 stars instead of 4 if I could; the reason for minus half of a star is that everything there is very expensive. My lenses alone with anti reflective coating would have been $110. ($85 for the coating and a $25 materials fee). This would be a few bucks over the cost of frames + lenses at Warby Parker ($95 total). But hey this is Westwood and everything is expensive so it's not a huge deal. On another note, I really appreciated that they asked me via a form I filled out before my exam about whether I wanted to get the a retinal exam/scan. Since it is an extra expense because most insurances don't cover it, I'd say it's essential that they ask before they do it. Another shop I went to previously did not inform me of the extra cost and made it seem routine and then charged me after the fact. I felt that was rude and a bad business practice so I appreciated the way this office approached the retinal scan recommendation. I would come back to this place for my eye exam because I had a great experience with the staff.

Dr. Vogel AND his staff are SUPERB! From the moment you walk in, you are immediately addressed and taken care of quickly. The staff is professional, but absolutely fun (a good sense of humor is so appreciated by me - never more so than at a doc appointment). Dr. Vogel is efficient and very knowledgeable, but he also has a great chairside manner that makes an eye-phobic person like me totally at ease. The selection of frames is high end and every major, good quality eyewear brand is represented. I require smaller frames, but loathe being put into kids' frames, just because I have a smaller face. They had a decent selection for me, though my own self-consciousness kept me from deciding on the spot. Still, whatever I end up doing for frames, I want to go through them. Why? Because the optician actually measured my eyes correctly and exactly, and you simply cannot get that from an online eyewear shop. My husband doesn't have VSP insurance, as I do, but I will be taking him (and his weird eyes) there for an exam with Dr. Vogel. There is something comforting about him and I know that my husband will be in good hands. If you are confused about where to go with your VSP insurance, and you want a great doctor and a great selection of frames, call Dr. Vogel's office. Their location is easy to find on Gayley and street parking opens up pretty regularly. Just arrive with 10 mins to spare so you can park. Even easier, just Lyft or Uber so you can have your eyes dilated with no worry about driving for a bit.

I felt welcome and comfortable, the staff is friendly. The doctors are great and they do care. I felt like a patient not an insurance claim unlike other places. Thank you Village eyes!
Dec 23, 2017
Have been going to Village Eyes for nearly 20 years now. Jon has been doing me the great service of keeping my vision up to date and has always been a welcoming, thorough and solid guy. I've now seen his son Lorin on a couple occasions and I have to say the experience has been nothing but a pleasure. Rest assured you will be in good hands with these very personable and professional Westwood Village mainstays. Great operation.

Dec 14, 2017
Great visit; Dr. Vogel spent a lot of time with me, explaining the examination, my results and areas for further investigation. Good selection of frames, lenses and very good value, especially with the VSP discounts. I would unequivocally recommend this practice to anyone looking for new glasses.

My appointment at Village Eyes Optometry was great. I was able to make a same day appointment, which was so helpful as my contact lense had a tear and I was on my last pair of lenses. The members of front office staff were so helpful and nice, Dr. Lorin Vogel was so helpful and explained everything thoroughly during my appointment. I will definitely come back to Village Eyes Optometry for my contact lense needs.

I have been under the care of Dr. Jon Vogel for 43 years (since my first pair of glasses at 12 years old). He has always provided the best care and service. several years ago I was diagnosed with keratoconus and I first went to UCLA Jules Stein Eye institute for hard contact lens fitting. It was miserable, the lenses were not fitted correctly and they did not correct my vision appropriately. I asked Dr. Jon Vogel if he could manage my kerataconus lenses and her said "yes". He did an amazing job getting them fitted and I am still going there to have him fit me with the latest and greatest kerataconus lenses every year. I don't know what I would do without him. Additionally, his staff and technicians are always so very friendly and attentive and accurate. I would (and have) highly recommend Village Eyes Optometry.

Great service, been going here for years! Not cheap tho-- although that's Westwood pricing for you!

I have experienced enormous benefit from eye care at Village Eyes Optometry for the past three years.

My Optometrist explains longterm eye conditions beautifully and also has a delightful sense of humor.

It combines a welcoming atmosphere with the highest competence. The client gets so much more than custom eye glasses. The medical staff checks for developing eye problems, such a glaucoma, and either treats the problem or refers the client to the proper specialist. Village Eyes gives the best eye care!
Aug 5, 2017
Been coming to Village Eyes for years, it is always such a smooth process! Everything is always explained out to me. Love them!

Jul 27, 2017
I've been going to Village Eyes Optometry for over 25 years and the doctors and staff have always been first rate and great to work with. Here's to another 25 years!
Jul 19, 2017
Been coming to Village Eyes Optometry for over 20 years. The extremely knowledgable and caring approach that Dr Lorin Vogel supplies is what keeps me coming back. He really cares and it shows. You never feel rushed during your visit and in today's world that is really saying something. I highly recommend Village Eyes Optometry and Doctor Lorin Vogel! Also, another tip- Free two hour parking in city lot on Braxton St. It's a short walk from Village Eye office.

Team Vogel, Thank you for taking care of me and my eyes. You are all so efficient, fast, relaxed, proficient and polite. The whole visit is so smooth. I felt like getting a coffee and coming back to hang out and attend to my emails. Thanks, Scott
Jul 15, 2017
It was my first visit and I was treated to pleasant and efficient staff a great Doctor (Jon) who found some problems that I didn't know about. He offered guidance and reassurance. This was a wonderful visit and I am glad to have found a new optometrist with new and smooth machines and a very nice staff.
Jul 13, 2017
I have been a happy satisfied, appreciative client for many years. These feelings continue which is why I keep coming.
Jun 25, 2017
This place is great. I was in and out the door within half an hour, complete with all of the most technologically advanced tests to make sure my eyes are healthy. They have saturday appointments which makes it easy to get this done annually.
Jun 25, 2017
Dr. Hu is great she spends time with me every time I go in and explains to me my options. Sh e is wonderful
Jun 14, 2017

Always great to see the staff and Dr. Vogel. They are all so kind and courteous, they care about my eyes and healthy and keep me smiling! Thank you!
May 27, 2017
Dr.Jon Vogel is amazing. Always attentive and never makes you feel rushed or that your concerns dismissed. I have been wearing glasses/contacts for 25 years and he is by far the best optometrist I have ever had. Tell him he can never retire!
May 24, 2017
My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Golbahar for over 7 years. She explains things wonderfully and is very thorough with her exams. We both have challenging vision issues and she has guided us along the way with care and expertise.
May 22, 2017
As a new patient, with an urgent eye event, I was given an emergency appointment, seen quickly, treated skillfully and successfully. I felt like the doctor gave me his complete attention, an understandable and comforting explanation for the event and the knowledge I needed to be completely reassured. Could not have had a better experience
May 14, 2017
This was my first visit to Dr Lorin Vogel. I wanted treatment for dry eyes. He cleaned my lids and expressed the meibomium glands, which were 40-50% blocked. My eyes do feel better today...hope that will continue. I liked Dr Vogel and the staff, and was able to find meter parking near by. I would recommend this office.
May 13, 2017
Excellent!!!!! Dr Vogel is very personable and very knowledgeable!! I had a great experience!!
May 9, 2017
I always feel so well-cared for with Dr. Jon Vogel. He takes the time to listen to his patients and explains everything to you. Love, love, love him!

Lorin Vogel at Village Eyes Optometry is caring, thorough, and extremely helpful in explaining clearly the condition of one's eyes. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in excellent service!
May 7, 2017
This was my best experience there thus far in my years of going to get my eyes checked.

What a great experience! Each time I see Dr. Lorin Vogel I know I'm getting to notch care. His staff is always super helpful, and getting new frames and lenses is also easy with the crew in the front of the practice and all the options they have available.
Apr 7, 2017
I found Village Eyes through the VSP website and it was conveniently located by my office - great experience from start to finish, fast and easy even as a new patient and Dr. Lorin Vogel was awesome, listening to my concerns and making the whole experience very seamless. Plus, a great selection of frames!
Mar 30, 2017
Dr. Vogel and son have been exceptional for over thirty years. They are caring, thorough and very engaged. I highly recommend them for you Optometrist needs!!!!! Thank you !!!!
Mar 26, 2017
I was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lorin for just a few days after I called. The office staff is great, and Dr. Lorin was the best optometrist I've ever had - he wasn't in a rush, explained things thoroughly, and spent time making sure my prescription was accurate. He demonstrated interest in my life and health history and remembered my name, using it throughout the appointment. I have already recommended him to coworkers and feel lucky to have found such a great optometrist!
Mar 23, 2017
A terrific team led by Dr. Jon Vogel. Thoughtful personal attention and excellent care.
Mar 16, 2017
Dr Golbahar is wonderful and we really appreciate her care
Mar 12, 2017
Doctor rechecked my glasses. He took so much time with me. Your services are the best! Very individual attention. love you guys!
Mar 11, 2017
AS always the service was prompt and I feel much better with my eyes.
Mar 10, 2017
Dr. Hu was thorough, answered my many questions patiently and completely to my satisfaction and put the results of my eye exam in appropriate context (i.e.cataracts are common and increase with age).
Mar 8, 2017
The staff is very kind and courteous, and Dr. Golbahar is professional, informative and devotes plenty of time to listen to her patients' needs and concerns.
Feb 26, 2017
Dr Golbahar was incredibly efficient without sacrificing her humanity. I felt well-cared for by her extensive knowledge of my particular needs, including the side-effects of the medicine I use. Her staff were proficient and helpful. My only complaint would be about the pile of papers presented on arrival for completion.
Feb 16, 2017
The best! Better than any ophthalmologist we've ever been to for diagnosis of various eye conditions. Have sent many friends to Jon when they haven't gotten satisfaction with their own eye-care providers. He is conscientious, thoughtful, kind and warm. (As is Lorin.)
Feb 15, 2017
I have very complicated eyes (had two cataracts and one detached retina). I have been super satisfied with Village Eyes for years. They are extremely patient, and explain everything going on. Moreover, they treat you like a colleague, and they have a very compassionate approach. I trust them completely.
Feb 7, 2017
Dr Lorin Vogel has all the great qualities you look for in a doctor, patience, very thorough, pleasant, etc. I would definitely recommend him and his wonderful staff.
Jan 29, 2017
It is always a pleasure to see Dr. Vogel.....His gentle approach, and manner whilst performing the examination is superb (eyes). Dr. Vogel takes the time to clearly Listen, & discuss with you his diagnosis...Good Man!!
Jan 28, 2017
Our family had been coming to Dr. Vogel for over 20 years. They always have the newest technology available and the most superb clinical services imaginable. He saved my mom's eye sight! He and his son Are exceptional!
Jan 28, 2017
I highly recommend Village Eyes Optometry. Been going to Village Eyes Optometry for over 20 years. Originally Dr Jon Vogel was recommended and I worked in the Westwood area so I decided to give them a try. I had such a good experience that when my work location changed I still continued to come to Village Eyes Optometry for all of my vision care needs. I found Dr Vogel to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring. In the past couple of years I have been seeing Dr Lorin Vogel and my experience has continued to be everything I could expect and more. Lorin always has a great attitude and takes the time to explain everything I need to know about my vision needs. He goes the "extra mile" with his service and I will continue to return to Village Eye Optometry.
Jan 23, 2017
The appointment is always smooth and we feel that we receive good attention
Jan 22, 2017
Great Service, always get seen on time, no delays and the process is always explained correctly. Dr Golbahar is awesome, such a calming expert.
Jan 19, 2017
Dr. Hu is so great! She is always thorough and I feel very confident that I am receiving the best care when I visit her.
Jan 17, 2017
As usual as soon as I entered the door, I was greeted warmly. The staff are well-trained, are able to answer questions, and do so in a friendly and patient manner.
Jan 14, 2017
Excellent hours and service. Best in West LA
Jan 14, 2017
Excellent Service in eye care - very professional and friendly
Jan 6, 2017
Dr Jon Vogel has been my optometrist for more than 18 years. He has been fantastic helping to correcti my vision and chronic dry eyes. Unfortunately, Restasis which has worked for my friends did not work for me. So he suggested simple OTC solutions and other alternatives to help. All options were cheaper than my monthly prescriptions of Restasis. It is hard to find any specialist these days that are more concerned with treating the patient than building their bank account. Dr Vogel is one that goes above and beyond to help you!
Jan 6, 2017
I met with Dr. Lorin Vogel during my office visit. He was so thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. I have recommended him to everyone I know. I left the office feeling not only in good health, but also with a better understanding of optical health in general (my condition, what to look for, etc.). Thank you Dr. Vogel for taking care of me!
Jan 5, 2017
One can always count on Dr. john
Jan 5, 2017
It was the best eye exam and customer service. I highly recommend Village eyes optometry.
Jan 5, 2017
The best eye doctors I've ever been to. I've been going to this office for over 20 years. I live 35 miles away but still make the trek. Can't say enough good things!
Dec 18, 2016
I have been entrusting my eye and vision care to Dr Golbahar for many years. She is a careful, sophisticated doctor and my visits are always reassuringly thorough. She is concerned with the health of the whole body as it affects and is affected by the health of the eye. In addition to being an excellent doctor, she is a very pleasant person. On top of all this, the Village Eyes clinic is a lovely space and the staff are knowledgeable and warm, so visits to the office are actually enjoyable. Thank you!
Dec 18, 2016
I always get the best of care at Village Eyes. That is why I refuse to leave their service, even though Ive moved many miles away. Great appointments and staff. I have total trust and support of this office.
Dec 12, 2016
Dr. Golbahar provides excellence in her care. She is knowledgeable, and personable. She even took the extra step to give me a follow up call to see if I needed her assistance in securing a referral from my primary for more medical testing. I have been sharing my experience with others and recommending her if they are looking for a doctor.
Dec 10, 2016
As always, the staff is wonderful. I had an emergency and needed to get an appointment and they were able to get me in right away. The optometrist that I normally see was not in that day and I saw another one of the staff. She was excellent, thorough, friendly and was able to help me completely. Recommend this office highly.
Nov 29, 2016
I've been coming to Village Eyes for years because they're convenient, easy going, and professinal.
Nov 28, 2016
I usually see Dr. Jon Vogel (who is fantastic), but had the pleasure of having my eyes checked by Dr. Lorin Vogel last week because I wanted to schedule an eye appointment as soon as possible and Dr. Jon Vogel was out of the office. I had been experiencing headaches and pressure on my right eye for at least a week. Dr. Lorin Vogel was very thorough in checking my eyes. I felt very reassured at the end of my visit that we knew why I had been experiencing headaches and pressure on my right eye. It was a very pleasant visit and I would definitely recommend Dr. Lorin Vogel.
Nov 28, 2016
Dr. Vogel is the best. He takes the time to explain everything to me. So friendly and down to earth. It's always a pleasure to visit his office. The staff are very professional.
Nov 27, 2016
As always, nothing but the best and better than all the rest ...
Nov 27, 2016
Yesterday I went to the Village Eyes Optometry in Westwood, California for the first time. I had an appointment for a prescription for my glasses, because unfortunately I do have myopia. Since I came in, the staff was really friendly and they help me to fill some papers out. The staff and the Doctor were waiting for me and I was really happy about it. I took my vision exam with the Doctor Lorin Vogel and he was really really great. He checked the health of my eyes and about my myopia and stigmatism and he carefully explained to me every single detail about my eyes. He is a real expert and professional, believe me. He got his degree at UCLA and I can really tell he is amazing. After that I bought my new glasses inside the store and I cannot wait to wear them. Moreover my vision insurance fully covered me and my glasses. I really recommend this location for your eyes care, such as vision exams and new purchases, especially with the Doctor Lorin Vogel. I will definitely come back for another vision exam in a near future. Thank you so very much to the Village Eyes Optometry and to the Doctor Lorin Vogel. Manny
Nov 20, 2016
Dr. Vogel and Dr. Vogel, Christine, and the entire staff. You are blessings to us all. Why would I ever think of going anywhere else?
Nov 20, 2016
Dr. Vogel has been our doctor for many years. Every visit is a pleasure and he takes the time to answer any question you might have as well as spending time with you assessing your vision. We'll continue seeing him for our exams even though we live in the SFV. It is worth the trip over the hill.
Nov 13, 2016
What a thorough appointment! I left feeling that all my questions and concerns had been answered and fully addressed. Dr Vogel was practical in explaining my options and did not push for me purchase items I did not need. I was very impressed by the quality of the exam and overall service.
Nov 10, 2016
Dr. Vogel is always a kind, attentive, and helpful professional, who has seen me through my very first pair of glasses (when I was a student at UCLA) to my continued care as a teaching professional for over 15 years with LAUSD. He's quite simply, the best!
Oct 29, 2016
Dr. Annie Hu is great. Very friendly/pleasant and takes time to explain procedures and findings.
Oct 21, 2016
Always receive the best service; never any issues that aren't resolved while I am thee.

Dr Golbahar's patience, care and professional opinion is so appriciated. He is amazing.
Oct 6, 2016
Dr. Golbahar is the best. She is very knowledgeable in her field. Her thorough exams always makes me feel confident about my eyes' health. I love going to this place. The front office people are very professional . I never have to wait more than a minute to see dr Golbahar and she always gives me her undivided attention. They also have the most amazing eyeglass selection .just got my Prada and loving them.
Oct 4, 2016
Village Eyes is an awesome place to get your eyes checked. They are ALL so pleasant, so good at what they do, and the office runs like clockwork-- I've never had to wait. The two Drs Vogels are the nicest doctors I know.

I have been going to Village Eyes Optometry for four years and have always had a great experience there. I have seen three of their optometrists and they were each fantastic. The administrative staff at the front desk are so kind and helpful as well.
Sep 7, 2016
you know I love you guys - you're the best!
Aug 31, 2016
Dr. Vogel was professional and knowledgeable. He gave good advice and answered all my questions. He was friendly and caring. The optical manager Mr. Navasartian was very helpful for my eyeglasses frame selection. He placed my order carefully.
Aug 27, 2016
The magazine they send out via email is a good tool to inform us on the advances in technology and how to keep a healthy vision. Their online access is excellent and keeps us updated.
Aug 23, 2016
As always, the genuine attentiveness from everyone at Village Eyes, from Dr. Vogel himself to Christina and Emer, is exceptional, reassuring, and the best I could ever hope for. Thank goodness for this resource in L. A.!
Aug 18, 2016
I love Dr. Huh and all of the staff in the office is friendly and knowledgable.
Aug 5, 2016
Extremely helpful, professional, understanding staff, Excellent doctors, the whole experience was great - I would definitely recommend coming here and plan on coming back myself!
Jul 31, 2016
I have been seeing Dr. Jon Vogel for years. I feel like I'm seeing a member of my family, he's kind, professional and extremely efficient. I hope he never decides to retire. My eyes would certainly miss him. His staff is reliable and very polite. Thank You.
Jul 29, 2016
My eye was bothering me for days and I finally called to ask for an appointment. Dr. Vogel's assistants squeezed me in to come the same afternoon. After checking my eyes, the problem was resolved in five minutes. It was an eyelash growing too close to the eye that was scratching me for days. I had looked myself for this errant wanderer with magnifier and strong glasses but couldn't see it. I felt better immediately... so glad i didn't wait longer to see him for help!!!
Jul 27, 2016
Village Eyes Optometry and its great physicians and support staff has provided me and my family with excellent, personal, and truly exceptional service for the past 26 years!! The office has a welcoming atmosphere and I feel like a VIP every time I visit. I am a very satisfied and thankful patient and look forward to a lifetime relationship with Village Eyes Optometry!!

I got what I needed, Excellent as always
Jul 11, 2016
This was an appointment in order to have my prescription for eye drops refilled. I arrived about 15 minutes early and the staff kept me updated on when the Dr. would see me. They also explained my financial options right before the appointment, for which the Dr. was right on time.
Jul 10, 2016
An exemplary health care professional with the traditional manner of family doctor. Let's hope this sort of attention to health is ciming back to the mainstream.
Jul 6, 2016
responsive and responsible care is what I like about Dr. Vogel and staff
Jul 6, 2016
Village Eyes is the best in the West - I do not think there is a better Father/Son/Family team, the Vogels' who are the kindest, most compassionate, with the bedside manners of saints. Thank you for taking care of me for many many years and I look forward to many years to come. Thank you.
Jun 19, 2016
Easy to schedule. Polite receptionist. Dr Goldbagar is very smart and will give you a comprehensive exam.
Jun 14, 2016
Dr. Golbahar and her staff were very pleasant, professional, and highly expert. Dr. Golbahar explained every test and result in great detail and carefully explained my options. I would highly recommend her.

Everyone here was wonderful! Customer service is excellent!

I have been going to Dr. Vogel for over 30 years. I trust no one else with my eyes.

Dr . Golbahar is the best. She is knowledgable and kind. She always takes the time to answer all my questions. I love this office !
Apr 21, 2016
I've been a client of Dr. Jon Vogel since 1978. He has always provided excellent service and this time was no exception. I arrived a bit early, was given forms to complete, then went directly to testing rooms for preliminary tests. Once they were done I was escorted to the exam room and Dr. Vogel arrived shortly thereafter. I was finished with my annual exam in 40 minutes and nothing was left out. Great service!
Apr 20, 2016
Always a great experience!!!! Thanks so much.
Apr 14, 2016
It's always a pleasure to see everyone. I'm always amazed at how much time Dr Vogel will take to answer all the questions and find the right solution.
Apr 2, 2016
I love my eye dr. She explains and answers all my questions and tells me the pros and cons! That's why I keep coming back. The office staff seem nice enough and helpful when I picked out glasses.
Mar 23, 2016
After my exam I was set to see the Option. In the past I never really had the Optition help me pick frames that would compliment my face or have them go over all my choices with regards to the lenses. I already had an Optomotrist but felt they didn't have the number of frames to consider and I don't even remember even having an Optition to work with. So I did my research before my appointment and I decided that Village would meet my expectations. They explained and make recommendations and I was happy with my final choices. I realized I never really felt like that in my past eyewear experiences.
Mar 22, 2016
re 2 above: "I wish I knew more" is a lack on my part, and is not a judgement of the eye doctor working with me.
Mar 20, 2016
Great service. Dr.Golbahar really is thorough
Mar 20, 2016
I can't think how you could improve, honestly. I feel totally supported and almost at home at your office. I'm in good hands. That is hard to come by!
Mar 15, 2016
Could you keep our records on file and have us fill out any changes rather than completing forms calling for address, phone, insurance, etc. Thanks.
Mar 15, 2016
Everything was great. One of the most efficient offices
Mar 15, 2016
always a pleasure to see such a great & consistent team! Thanks to all....

I was there as an emergency and was able to see Dr. Vogel without a problem. Christine and the rest of the staff were great! Dr. Vogel is a character!
Mar 13, 2016
Thanks for being the best eye doctor ever.
Mar 12, 2016
Loved everyone there. Thorough eye exam, everything explained in detail and great customer service.
Mar 10, 2016
I would rate my overall experience as excellent! I was clearly explained everything that was going on, was clear on my options and actually learned more about the human eye than I ever knew. I would highly recommend Dr. Vogel and Village Eye Optomotery.
Mar 1, 2016
As always, Dr. Jon Vogel takes his time to thoroughly and professionally explains everything in a clear and understandable way. The only comment I would make is that when I arrived, I wouldn't say I was actually "greeted" (which is one of your survey questions. I was handed a clipboard, a pen, and told to fill out some paperwork. Kind of perfunctory; could be a bit more friendly. The young woman (Karen?) who performed my pre-exam eye tests was very kind, friendly, and professional.
Feb 27, 2016
Dr. Golbahar was so thorough, caring and professional. Highly recommend her

Feb 14, 2016
Excellent, from Dr. Vogel to all the staff. I also appreciated the repair to my old glasses for free....Thank you !!
Feb 11, 2016
Prior to scheduling, I had given them the last 4 digits of the social security number needed to authorize the appointment. They called back and I was later informed that the number was shredded. Fortunately, they still kept the appointment time in check.
Feb 10, 2016
Dr Vogel is great. But as usual, I am waiting for a set of trial contact lenses. He always says it will take a couple of days to get them in. In prior years it has taken 2-3 weeks to get them in. I don't understand why it takes so long. I can get contacts delivered to my home in 2 days from 1800 contacts.
Feb 8, 2016
I really love Dr. Vogel... known him forever. I will say his office staff is not what it was. Some on the phone ar not even friendly. Karen was VERY nice, however.

Jan 28, 2016
I had a woman (not sure of her name) to do my eye & retina screening and she was very nice and prepped me for both exams. Dr. Vogel was great! He was very through in my appointment and answered all my questions and explained everything to me properly as far as my vision. He gave great recommendations and was very mannerable and friendly. My experience changed once I got Ed that did my glasses try-on. I felt very rushed! He did not explain to me about how much I was to pay during my visit. I had to keep asking him to explain the payment I was to make. I then go to select my eyeglasses and was immediately rushed because they close at 1pm and that I could come back at 2pm, like I had nothing to do and could wait around... I was not happy at all with his customer service. I felt very rushed and just decided to get a pair of glasses because I really needed them. He was so ready for me to leave the office, he almost forgot to do my fitting for my glasses as I was leaving.
Jan 27, 2016
Visit is always pleasant and enjoyable. Love Dr. Vogel and his staff!
Jan 24, 2016
Complete eye exam, I felt I received excellent care.

My apt time was not a good time . 12 noon . At the end of apt the people in the lense department was in a rush for lunch( I understand) so they show me ONLY one option of frame!!! Next time I will ask for another time for an apt!!!noon is not a good choice

You are wonderful and life giving!

I have been going to Village Eyes Optometry for over 30 years. I have moved out of the area but still make the drive to see Dr. Vogel. I have tried local optometrists but no one compares. I give my highest recommendation.
Dec 25, 2015
After 34 years, I think I am pretty well satisfied.
Dec 21, 2015
As a new patient my first office visit experience was excellent. The staff is very friendly and personable. Dr. Golbahar was terrific. She was very thorough with my eye exam, measuring my eye pressure, and advising me on what I need to do for clearing the redness out of my eyes daily. My prescriptions for my distance/progressive and computer glasses are great. Since this is my first visit I can't recommend any new services or changes.
Dec 20, 2015
I did not have an appointment but they still fit me in and I hardly had to wait. Problem was solved very quickly and everyone was very helpful. Thank you!

With the great office staff and the wonderful work performed by Dr. Vogel, it always feels more like a visit and less like an appointment.

I've been coming to VEO since moving to California in 1978. I've always been given excellent personal service and have never been made to feel as though I'm just another patient. Dr. Jon Vogel always takes the time to explain things to me. And we get to discuss UCLA sports. Go Bruins!
Dec 13, 2015
I did have to wait almost an hour after my appt time, but the staff was very nice and the doctor I saw was excellent. I have never had such a thorough exam and I left feeling very cared for and educated.

A great place to have one's annual vision exams and for other vision services, glasses, etc..They are very good at explaining the financial options with one's vision insurance.
Dec 5, 2015
Everyone was very kind and professional. My optometrist took her time in explaining everything to me.
Dec 3, 2015
Great with Dr. Vogel. This is, however, the second time I've had unexpected problems with glasses made at your lab. When I picked up the glasses, the frame was way too wide for my face. It wasn't like this when I tried it on. Saba says there's really nothing that can be done, so that's a bit disappointing. But overall, very good.

I'm so pleased to have an optometrist who I've been with now for 7 years. The level of professionalism from Dr. Vogel Sr/Jr and support staff is outstanding. I thank you for your excellent service and genuine patient care.

Dr Gobahar is the best!!!!!!

Five stars to Dr. Jon Vogel for showing such compassion and accommodating me into his schedule on Saturday.
Nov 16, 2015
Dr. Golbahar is fantastic!!!! she is thorough and knowledgeable every time I have an appointment. I have recommended her to all my 1000 friends and 5000 facebook friends.
Nov 16, 2015
Everything was excellent, as always. Wait was a bit long, but so it goes....
Nov 14, 2015
Couldn't have been better.

Text reminders of appointment requesting confirmation a little pushy. Better to have staff call a day before. I confirmed AND got a reminder call, then my appointment was cancelled. I rescheduled a week later and got zero reminders. Inconsistent.
Nov 11, 2015
Lorin Vogel cleared my oil ducts. When I got home, it was such a pleasure to not see little lumpy things on the inside of my lids. They were smooth for the first time in years!
Nov 8, 2015
This was an easy visit, thankfully free of requests to update what's already on file about my history. So, that made it far more efficient, and I will be back to check on lens, perhaps fit into an old frame. Thank you to Annie Hu for usual thoroughness. Karen Rowe
Nov 7, 2015
I usually do not respond to these survey requests, but my experience with everyone especially Lorin Vogel was so great that it made me want to let you know about it. Thanks everyone! Bret Nighman

Dr. Vogel and staff and the best in the business. My family and I have been going there for 15 years and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Our eyes are in the best hands! Thank you!!
Oct 30, 2015
Staff members were friendly and smoke to me kindly. My appointment went smoothly. The best eye doctor I've been too.
Oct 25, 2015
I have been going here for 20 years and would not consider going anywhere else. The staff are accommodating and I always get in on time, very important to me. Also the two docs I see are simply great. No pressure to do other things but they spend the time to explain what if anything is wrong. You cannot find a better eye place.
Oct 25, 2015
Excellent experience - no changes required...

It's always a fantastic visit! Love that you keep up with technology and trends in the industry. I love that you are very warm and welcoming from the initial phone call all the way through to checking out. You always make me feel like my patronage is valuable.

Dr. Hu is excellent. It would be nice if you carried some smaller adult frames. This is always a problem for past several years. Last year had to use child frames for sunglasses resulting in that they are not proportioned correctly for adult face. Please carry some small adult frames.
Oct 17, 2015
Very pleasant experience as always.
Oct 13, 2015
Friendly staff and prompt service from Dr.Vogel.
Oct 12, 2015
I appreciated that you were able to get me in to see Dr. Vogel for a medical condition the same day and at a perfect time for me.
Oct 11, 2015
Dr Vogel is always thorough and always explains what's going on so the visit also is educative.
Oct 4, 2015
Annie Hu is a great doctor and I really appreciate her professionalism, patient-side manner, and her attention to detail. She knows her stuff! She is the best!
Oct 3, 2015
It would have been convenient to have the initial paperwork that was filled out upon arrival emailed to me so I would have had more time to correctly enter in the information.
Sep 16, 2015
Dr. Jon Vogel was great--he explained the procedures in a way that I was able to understand and gave me tips on how to be more diligent about my eye care. Caroline was so patient as I explored a myriad of options for my frames. Her input was very valuable and I'm comfortable with the choice that I made. Finally, Karen, the receptionist was exceptional. She greeted me with a smile and was very kind throughout the whole process. I had a fantastic experience overall. Thank you!
Sep 13, 2015
Finally, I found a great place! Thank you.

Dr. Golbahar and the rest of the office staff are great.

Dr. Jon Vogal is always so warm and so helpful!
Aug 28, 2015
We have tried other doctors that are closer to our home, but none match the quality of care we receive from Dr. Jon Vogel so we keep making the drive from Burbank. We highly recommend him and his staff!
Aug 23, 2015
Good visit, as usual. My only complaint was that the woman who helped me pick out new frames wasn't much help. The style I like was not readily available and I was having difficulty picking something flattering. I would have appreciated more input in trying to find flattering frames in a new style. I feel like I left having "settled" for an OK frame -- as opposed to a frame that made me smile. Usually the staff is much more helpful and has a really good eye for these things.
Aug 22, 2015
new prescription is great; improved visual acuity; Dr. Vogel answered all my questions thoroughly.
Aug 18, 2015
Dr Golbahar explains every detail, options, procedure, etc in a very professional manner. I already recommended her with my daughter and son in law. The person who helped me to find frames was also very very helpful. The only con I see in Village eyes optometry is the very limited amount of frames and brands available to try.
Aug 13, 2015
Dr Hu was very pleasant and explained everything very well . It was a nice clean environment and everyone there was very nice and helpful .
Aug 12, 2015
very good, nothing to change.
Aug 8, 2015
very good, nothing to change.
Aug 8, 2015
I wouldn't change anything. I have been a patient of Dr. Vogel's since the late 1970's and wouldn't consider trusting my vision care to anyone else. He is always pleasant and professional, and spends as much time as necessary to explain your test results.
Aug 8, 2015
I can't say enough about Dr. Vogel and the Village Eyes team. I don't think I'd ever trust my Eyecare needs to anyone else!

Each year I have my annual appointment done, I love Village Eyes more! Having been a patient of Dr.Jon Vogel for many many years, now a patient of Dr. Vogel's son, Lorin, I am so blessed having such an amazing family take care of my eye health! Lorin is as amazing as his father, and, the family gift is carried on............ I would highly recommend Village Eyes to anyone and everyone. Thank you for being a part of my health care for years and years and I hope to be a part of your family for many more years to come - and - the staff - the best of the best! Customer service personified!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you. Kit Spikings

Doctor Who (Woo?) was professional and extremely helpful. It was my first visit in a very long time and she was able to help me through it and even stayed late to make sure everything was finished up. I could tell she was passionate about what she did and it showed through her work. Definitely the highest quality care I have ever received from an optometrist.
Jul 13, 2015
On the form we fill out, we are asked if we want two tests, one or none. Perhaps a clear explanation of what they are should be given.
Jul 10, 2015
I was excited when the doctor stated you have a large selection of children's frames but was incredibly disappointed to find that, presented to us only after asking, were about six children's frames- which appeared to be different colors of the same frame. The eye exam portion of the visit was phenomenal. But when selecting the frames, I wish we had gone elsewhere. Next to no selection compounded by staff rushing us made for a not very pleasant. I find the checkout process a little odd- the employees are not at the little sign in desk and it just seems really awkward.
Jul 8, 2015
Best eye doctor I've ever been to!
Jul 4, 2015
In the 30 years that I have been seeing Dr. Vogel, I have always been very happy with the overall visit and exam.
Jul 1, 2015
Just wish new glasses didn't take so long. Otherwise everything good.
Jun 26, 2015
I was seated in the exam room promptly but did have to wait about 20 minutes for the doctor to finish with another person.
Jun 24, 2015
It's a very professional atmosphere - I like that.

Dr Jon is my FAVORITE. I give him TEN stars!

I had a great visit here! Dr. Weis was very thorough, and I understood everything she was trying to explain. The office staff was also very nice. I would strongly recommend this office to others!
Jun 11, 2015
Exceptional service from everyone at the office, and I was very happy with the glasses they gave me! Also, a great deal!
Jun 7, 2015
Do not schedule appointments right after lunch hour because there will be no chance to fill out the paperwork which increases the time spent in the office.
Jun 7, 2015
The doctor was great, but the girls at the front desk ignored me for a bit. It is also very strange that their desk does not face forward; it allows them to pretend they don't see the customer... it was really awkward.

LOVE DR VOGEL...he made me feel very welcomed and more at ease than any other visual professional. If I was not pressed for time, I would have enjoyed selecting my frames for my new prescription, but will be back to get them when I have more time...

Dr. Vogel is excellent. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and he explains any changes or issues clearly and well.

Village Eyes Optometry offers superb service and medical care. Top notch!
Apr 27, 2015
Would prefer a shorter waiting period for a new pair of glasses instead of 3 weeks.
Apr 27, 2015
Part of the exam is performed in a narrow corridor with traffic to the restroom. I don't think this is very professional. Also, when it came time to pay, I had to check my receipt to understand the services which were not explained to me.

Dr. Hu is great; she listens well and is very reasonable in her recommendations.
Mar 4, 2015
Honestly. You need to get a friendlier staff . The girl in the front seems very uptight and not so excited about helping anybody. I know she's been there along time but she still couldn't answer my questions about insurance and what I was covered for. I felt very uncomfortable asking her anything for fear she would bite my head off. So I left.
Mar 3, 2015
I introduced my daughter Lauren (she will be 4 on March 21st) to staff and Dr. Jon Vogel. Lauren had such a good time and now knows what an optometrist does when checking the eyes. I am looking forward to Lauren being a patient soon! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY AND WARM GREETING.

Dr Vogel is the best! He's very friendly & his staff is also courteous & welcoming. I never feel as though he's just processing me through as fast as he can -- he takes time to talk with me &, more importantly, to listen & answer whatever questions I may have about my eye care & eye health. I appreciate his professional expertise & services so much that I've been his patient for nearly 25 years!

The set up of the office is a little bit confusing, if the receptionists were in the front of the office it would probably make more sense to a newcomer. Otherwise, very helpful.

I was promptly greeted by the friendly office staff upon my arrival and the paperwork was typical and easy to fill out.

I'd definitely recommend this office to anyone in the market for a new pair of glasses or just a regular eye exam.

On the financial part. Shelba told me one price, but didn't give me the total price before running my credit card. I feel I was uninformed properly regarding the fees for my eyeglasses. I feel the total amount needs to be explained and disclose to the patient before any transactions are made. Patients should agree with all charges just in case they decide to hold off on something due to the price given or only pay a portion based on the total price. I has Shelba help me and I wasn't satisfied with the way she handled my tranaction at all. And because of that this may be my last visit to village eyes. And I really hate that because I think Dr. Golbahar is a excellent optometry Doctor.
Jan 15, 2015
Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Did seem pushy about getting glasses AND contacts though. Overall, good experience.
