Stanley H Doi, OD

I’ve been going here since I was 5. The girls are very helpful in finding your frame. Always enjoyed going to get new glasses, every year.

Best way to describe Dr. Doi is that he is your friendly neighborhood Optometrist. He is a down to earth, but very serious about your vision. Located in the heart of E.L.A. his staff speaks Spanish as well. I have been going to him for years. He is always up front about what he thinks… he will let you know what he thinks about laser eye surgery! Anyway although a little hard to find, he is an honest optometrist that is not just about selling you a new frame. Its always been nice experience visiting his office… and the Mexican food down the street is not a bad reason to go!

I am a loyal customer to Dr. Doi, my son and I have been going every year for the past 10 years to obtain his service. I have recently taken a friend of mine to have his eyes examined and he was very grateful to have found him. I always make sure to recommend anyone who has had previous issues with other optometrists to come and see Dr. Doi and experience what a professional, who loves his job, and does a wonderful job in examining your eyes feels like. His staff is also very courteous and helpful always making sure you obtain the frames that can go with your personality and face structure. Keep up the good work Dr. Doi!!!

I trust only Dr. Doi with my eyes. He is extremely thorough, experienced, and personable. He has always given me more information about my eyes than any other optometrist I’ve seen in the past. I’ve been coming here for more than a decade and never looked back.
I always ask a lot questions and he always answers my questions thoroughly and I don’t feel like he’s just trying to get me out of the office. I always complain to him about my dry eyes so he tries to keep me updated with new contact brands that help with dry eyes.
I will drive 30+ miles from OC, where I live, to see Dr. Doi — that is how much I trust him. I will even make the drive to get my frames adjusted to my face.
There was one time when I saw an optometrist in OC and was not impressed. The OC optometrist made me feel like I was in a cattle call and didn’t seem as experienced and thorough as Dr. Doi. I thought I could save some time and gas by trying someone new. I spent more time and gas because a week later I had to see Dr. Doi to recheck my eyes.
I always make morning appointments here so I can find street parking, but there’s a parking lot in the back of the building too — that’s convenient.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Doi!

We love Dr. Doi, my husband has been using him for over 15 years! Staff is very friendly, and he gives a good, thorough exam. Sweet man. Looking forward to our next visit:)

I should have gone with my gut feeling on this one.
I’m a student at Art Center College of Design. Along with a fantastic design education, the school also outfits its students with a pretty decent insurance plan. To augment the standard coverage, we can purchase additional dental/​vision coverage, too. In need of new glasses, I went ahead and purchased some.
My plan was to get an eye exam, a new prescription, and then buy some glasses once I moved back to Kansas City. When I walked into the office to explain my intention, the ladies at the counter were quite nice and helpful. One of them took a look at my glasses, even making a minor tightening adjustment to one of the screws. Very nice, very helpful. Things were looking good. I filled out my various med history forms, and waited for Dr. Doi.
He called me into the back room, and I explained that I just needed an exam and prescription. I can’t remember if he actually sighed audibly or not, but he was visibly annoyed. He chuckled in an agitated sort of way, and asked,
«Is that insurance plan you have a good deal? Does that actually work out for you?»
Um…I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean. What I’m *guessing* is that what he’s really saying is this: «Hey! I’m not getting any money from this little eye exam I’m about to give you, kid, and you’re doing nothing but wasting my time.»
He sits me in the chair, begins the exam, and continues to make strange comments about my insurance, and acting annoyed. At this point, I’ve begun to feel like I’ve made a mistake. I’m also feeling really put off by his attitude. I’m sorry if you’re not getting paid as much as you’d like for this exam, but that’s not my fault. I’m just here because you’re in my network, and I happen to need a new scrip. Please act like a pro and quit giving me flak.
He cruises through the exam at top speed, does the requisite glaucoma tests and things, and finally writes me up my prescription. I leave.
After moving back to KC, I stop into a LensCrafters to fill my prescription and get a new pair of glasses. Once I put them on, I feel dizzy and sick to my stomach. This isn’t entirely unusual with new lenses, though, so I decided to wait it out. After three days of constant nausea, I stop back into LensCrafters. They verify that the prescription was filled correctly, that the lenses are properly centered, and that there aren’t problems with the material. The fault lies with the prescription. They recommend I return to my optometrist to redo the prescription. Since Dr. Doi is in LA, and I’m in KC, that’s not a possibility. Instead, I go to a place in town. They give me zero attitude and check my eyes *carefully*, making a special point to check both eyes at the same time (something Dr. Doi failed to do) They establish that the prescription written to me by Dr. Stanley Doi was waaaaaaay off. They give me a new prescription for $ 65. I return to LensCrafters, where they inform me that I’ll have to wait a week before the glasses with the corrected lenses will be ready for pickup.
In sum, by going to Dr. Doi I’ve wasted a ton of time, a ton of money, and have had my new eyeglasses delayed by a week.
Not recommended.
