Wilshire Optometry

I found Wilshire Optometry when looking up Google maps for an optometrist near me. The website looked good, the reviews are solid, certainly worth a try. I’ve been nearsighted since girlhood so eye glasses aren’t a fashion option for me. Though I’m mainly a contacts wearer, I also need a good pair of glasses and someone to watch over my eye health. Fancy optometrists with beautiful frames usually mean high end pricing to me.
Doctor Kim is knowledgeable, informative (I tend to ask a lot of questions), kind, and has an easy going demeanor. I’m starting to need reading glasses, have astigmatism, am at the age where a good doctor is more important to me than the next coolest frames. I get the feeling that Doctor Kim is in tune to my eye’s behavior, rather than the statistical reading from the optometry machines. I’ve never been loyal to any optometrists before; have treated myself to a nice office in the past and been disappointed, been a regular at Costco for good service, but still haven’t seen a doctor whom I can entrust my eye health to, until now. His examining fees are the going fair rate, even without insurance.
He also uses a cool Vintage Pink Optometrist Chair!

I have been a loyal customer to this optometry for 13 years now! I love dr. Kim, he knows my eye needs right away and so does his assistants :). They are all very friendly and feels totally at ease talking to all of them. They have a variety of good branded eyewear glasses and have my contact lenses orders come in few days. This is a quality oriented optometry and will be a customer for as long as I can! :D

My family and I have been coming to Dr. Kim’s for over a decade. He’s thorough, polite, and attentive. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone. I have particularly poor eyesight and no one else has been able to get my rigid gas permeable contacts exactly right.

I change doctors based on convenience but Dr. Kim is the kind of doctor I’ll drive to no matter where I live in this city. It’s never fun to have confirmed that you’d be legally blind if anything happened to your one good eye but he took the time to explain my condition and made me (and my weak eye) feel cared for. The staff is very sweet and attentive as well. Overall environment of the place is calm, quiet and relaxing. I’d recommend this place to anyone.

I went here off of Unilocal recommendations. Dr. Kim was exceptional! Very professional. He has an old skool charm you just can’t find anymore. He uses old tools, takes quick notes with his pen in white coat. At one moment I felt like I was in a Wes Anderson film! He just knew what he was doing and has actual skill, can’t say that for other places I’ve been. Quick and easy, walked in and came out maybe 30 min later with a new prescription, spare contacts and glasses comin in a week! So stop by Dr. Kim of you’re close to Wilshire and would like to visit a true optometrist from the old school.

Dr. Kim is thorough, knowledgable and super nice. Very chill facility and seems to be family owned it seemed.
I found this no frills spot via Unilocal for an eye exam and contacts. I was overdue on my yearly exam and wanted to start going to a doctor closer to my residence. I was able to get an appointment on a Saturday, same day. The pricing was standard and fair. It turned out I have a slight stigmatism, but Dr. Kim was real with me and didn’t try to up-​sell me on unnecessary «higher end/​powered» contacts to correct it since it was so minor – much appreciated.
See you in 6 months for some more contacts! :) Thanks again!

New to the area and was referred by my insurance! Small, independent doctor with a great personal touch. I’ve been to several «big» chain and fancy eye doctors but I felt like I was just sort of moved along. Dr. Kim was very thorough and asked me about my history. He listened to my concerns and addressed everything. Glad to have found him, highly recommend!

No complaints at all. I’ve been coming here for years. The people are very friendly, it’s affordable, and it’s convenient. Dr. Kim rocks.

I have been coming here for years. Really affordable. $ 50 eye exam. Super friendly. Save yourself some stress and park in their lot.
