Macy Eye Center

I had my first check up here after a few years of not needing glasses anymore. I had Lasik over three years ago and it’s been wonderful. I figured it was time to get a regular check up.
I actually didn’t get the name of the Optomitrist who completed my eye exam, my bad. She was very friendly though, and easy to talk to. I had expressed interest in getting glasses to help with the glare i get when driving at night. After the exam, she sat me down with one of the Opticians (Rene) and I got a very nice pair of glasses. The great part is that my insurance covered a good chunk of the costs. The process was very quick and easy.
I would have given this experience a 5 star rating if it wasn’t for the cost of parking. Its ridiculous. If you don’t have a copay that’s actaully great because you’ll likely spend that same amount or more on parking. I believe it’s a maximum of $ 18, but not sure if I remember correctly.
Good experience overall.

Dr. Macy and Rene are wonderful! I felt comfortable during my annual exam and didn’t feel any pressure to buy glasses or lens add-​ons. I took Warby Parker frames here to drop my lenses in and they didn’t mind at all. Rene is really experienced at knowing what looks good on your face and what rests comfortably on your nose bridge. He took a considerable amount of time to fit a pair or Gucci sunglasses precisely on my bridge. There were also tons of other very chic and pretty frames and sunglasses!

Yesterday I had my second annual checkup with Dr Macy. He is a knowledgable, experienced, detail oriented, caring, reliable, honest, efficient, punctual and fair. Besides, he is a good and kind human being. No big ego here. On the contrary, him and his staff are there to serve with modesty, great manners and caring.

Unreasonably overpriced… I came to this office having a great health insurance plan. There was nothing special about the office or the service I received. Basically, the average ophthalmologist office with basic equipment. After having a regular check up, I was told I need pay $ 90 in addition to them billing my vision plan. Later, I learned that my copay is only $ 10. Never coming back there again.

Dr. Macy saved my eyes and I couldn’t be more thankful. He is so knowledgable and is really experienced at what he does.
I highly recommend him for an ethical eye expert.
His fees are not low but is well worth the price.

Dr. Macy was nice, and my exam was basically uneventful. I got my prescription and a stern reminder to come every year (I will, promise!) and was on my way to the in-​house optician.
Peter, the Optician, is beyond awesome. I am extremely near-​sighted (–9.5) which means my glasses untouched resemble Coke bottles. Even when I would pay to have them thinned, polished, and whatever else science crap they offered, they would still remind me of something Mr. Magoo might own. I was never comfortable wearing my old glasses to work or social settings. Which meant I wore them less and wore my contacts constantly, which is not good for my poor little eyes.
It also meant shopping for my expensive prescription was never any fun. I could try on all the Ray-​Bans and Gucci frames I wanted, but they would always end up looking thick and gross. Peter assured me he could do much better than my old glasses and he really came through.
He took the time to help me try on a lot of pairs. He did advise me as to which ones he thought would work better for my very high prescription, but he had confidence he could make them look good. And he did. The lenses don’t stick out, they don’t glare, and they feel great. I love my new glasses, and that’s not something I thought I would ever say.
He was also a total dear about working with my vision insurance to find out when it was effective, how much I’d save, etc. I saved $ 395 on them, which was so rad. Peter is a really amazing guy who is good at what he does, he really cares, and it shows. I couldn’t be happier with how my glasses turned out. Thank you, Peter. You are the best.

Horrible! The worst eye clinic I have been to in Los Angeles. This doctor Macy is very old and should retire! I only say this because he has other people giving out prescriptions under his clinic name and doing it wrong and wasting time and it made me very ill for two weeks because the prescription was wrong. Two of us went to see Dr. Macy and only one of us saw him. One of his assistants took care of one of us that gave the wrong prescription. The one that saw Dr Macy, he did a half check up job only saw him for 5 minutes and before that his personal assistant screwed up majorly and made childish uncalled for insults. This place is very slow and unprofessional way over priced. I will never go back and will never recommend anyone to go here. Stay Away run don’t walk.

Dr. Macy is very attentive, informative, takes his time with you and doesn’t make you feel rushes. Office is conveniently located in the West Medical Tower attached to the Cedars-​Sinai Medical Center.
However, the gem in the office is Peter, his amazing optician. Peter has a great eye for frames, is able to assist those of us who have a difficult time making a decision. He has great insight and a discerning eye. A great combination to have!!!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Macy.
One day I woke up with some kind of eye infection, so I went to urgent care. They told me it was pink eye and dispensed some antibiotic drops. When nothing changed within 3 days, I realized there must be something more serious going on and that urgent care must have misdiagnosed. I called a trusted friend who immediately recommended Dr. Macy. I called his office immediately and was given an appointment within 3 hours. After filling out the obligatory paperwork, I was taken right in. I met with one of his assistants who asked a few questions and gave me a quick standard vision test («close you right eye and read the letters you can see out loud.») Shortly after wards, Dr. Macy came in and met with me. He asked some questions, and performed an exam. He quickly diagnosed that I had a viral eye infection (vs. the bacterial infection that urgent care diagnosed). He explained that he would be putting me on a course of treatment to heal the infection and eliminate the dendrite in my eye and this would include antiviral and steroid drops that I would administer daily. This was a stubborn infection and he explained it might be months before the dendrite shrunk and disappeared. Sure enough, after 5 follow up visits over 4 months my eye has healed completely.
I leave Dr. Macy’s care a very satisfied customer. Dr. Macy was always very professional, no-​nonsense and answered all my questions. I always felt I was getting a superior level of care. Also, I was very appreciative that he charged me much lower fees that his standard professional fees throughout the course of treatment (I had mentioned to him that I am working for a fledgling start-​up company and I’m uninsured, so I would be paying directly with a credit card).
Additionally, his staff was always very nice and helpful, and I never had to wait more than 10 minutes past my scheduled appointment time to see the doctor.
FYI — Cedars Sinai parking tip: you can save yourself a few dollars on parking if you park at the nearby Beverly Center — it’s a short 5 min walk to the office from there. For example, parking in Cedars’ lots is $ 10 for 2 hours, but only $ 2 for 2 hours at Beverly Center.

Took my lady here. She’s a nurse so we know to expect great bedside manner amd a doctor who respects your time and spends a few minutes with you to get to know you’re condition. Dr. Macy was all of those things and more. We weren’t waiting for much more than 10 – 15 minutes, and when he saw my wife, he asked questions and was patient with ours. Dig him! Everyone in the office was really nice, too.

Dr. Macy has been my opthamologist for many, many years. Because of my cataract, Dr. Macy performed a lens implant in one eye (I was a good candidate for mono-​vision) over 20 years ago! Last year, he did the other eye. Two surgeries, more than 20 years apart, same doctor. Result: the best vision I’ve ever had as an adult. His support staff is top-​notch. It’s easy to book an appointment, and there’s minimal wait time. I’ve always found Dr. Macy to be knowledgeable, thorough, a good listener, and warm and engaging with a pleasant sense of humor.

I have been wearing glasses since high school, (a LONG time ago) and I have not had the RX in my glasses be so correct as I have with Macy Eye Center. …and I have always gone to really good places to have my glasses made. This experience was the BEST!
They were very helpful and understanding… and I am really picky!
I have told friends about them and will be using them again in the future.
Oh, btw, they found a frame that I had (and loved) from 5 years ago that had broken… and I couldn’t find it anywhere online… They got it in for me so I can now have one of my favorite frames made into glasses again! NICE!

I took my son to see Dr Macy as he was having problems seeing the board at school. Dr Macy was recommended to me by my primary care physician.
First thing I will warn you about is this practice will charge you $ 40 to check your vision. This fee is in addition to the insurance co-​pay to see Dr. Macy. They will not tell you about this when you make your appointment.
Our consultation with Dr. Macy was barely a few minutes. I suspect his rushed approach has something to do with over scheduling — his sign in sheet showed a patient every ten minutes.
Thirdly, be warned. Dr. Macy has a glasses shop in his office. When Dr. Macy finished with my son, he said to him «let’s go pick out some glasses», walked him out to his shop and handed a salesman my sons prescription. The salesman directed a hard sales pitch at my son (not me) which quickly escalated to him writing up a bill for a $ 300 pair of adult glasses my son liked, but which were clearly way too large for his face. This set off major alarm bells — clearly the guy just wanted to make a sale, he had no real interest in what was appropriate for my son.
When I said to the salesman that I would like to shop around and requested a copy of my son’s prescription, he marched over to reception, slammed it down on the desk and walked off in a huff. He was a real piece of work.
As a side note, I purchased comparable glasses the next day for $ 135, a savings of $ 165.
In short, it felt like we were railroaded. The additional «vision test» fee, the rushed check up and an aggressive push into buying glasses from Dr. Macy’s in house shop left a bad taste in my mouth.

I had my LASIK surgery with Dr. Macy almost a year ago and I think it was the absolute best decision I ever made. Dr. Macy was great and very thorough with the surgery and with each pre and post surgery follow up appointment. Not a single regret. Perfect vision immediately after the procedure and perfect vision a year later.

Dr. Macy was recommended to me by a friend, so I am now returning the favor to the Unilocal community. He was friendly and the appointment was quick. Also, their in house frames specialist Peter was extremely helpful. I’m very indecisive when it comes to this sort of thing, but he guided me through various options without being pushy and displaying a genuine concern for my satisfaction. He gave honest opinions and I am really happy with the frames I selected. I will definitely go back.

This is the best eye clinic ever. Dr. Macy diagnosed a problem that has been giving me headaches for over two years. He has a good selection of popular modern optical frames. They are decently priced, and include the lenses. His optician Peter is a very good person to deal with. He has good taste in frames, and is always happy to help customers. Unilocalers I strongly recommend this place if you have trouble seeing, or your eyes are giving you headaches.
Also only $ 40 for a refraction. How cool is that!

I had always been a little hesitant about going to any offices at Cedar Sinai because I had feared they would be two things: expensive and bureaucratic. When an optical emergency negated any option I may have had in the matter and I ended up at Dr. Macy’s I was pleased to find out that I had been wrong on both counts. First off it was totally affordable. I was in and out without any fuss and he was able to help me where previous doctors had misdiagnosed my problem. When I told him that I needed needed NEEDED my (stylish and chosen from a wide range of frames) replacement glasses pronto, i.e. I was going to be blind otherwise, he was able to get me the lenses straight from the glassmakers that very afternoon. I only have good things to say about him.
