Dr. M. Friedman - Optometrist

I was so pleasantly surprised with my experience at Dr. Friedman's office, I'm actually writing an enthusiastic review....about an eye doctor! I walked into an attractive office with a friendly staff that actually seemed to enjoy being there (how uncommon for a medical office), and was greetd as soon as I came in. After sitting down with a large group of people- within 5 minutes everyone was ushered in to their appointments (yes, 5 minutes!), and I was one of them. I had a simple appointment- an iris measurement- but I was treated as though my business was appreciated from beginning to start, and no time was wasted. Additionally, parking around the Culver Center was delightfully painless. I don't think I could go to another eye doctor after my great experience at Dr. Friedman's office. Pros: Friendly staff, quick service, easy parking Cons: I wish they were closer to my house =) more

I recently visited Dr. Friedman's office for an eye exam. I made an appointment in advance and did not have to wait. The doctor was very friendly and professional. He spent a lot of time with me going through the various charts to pinpoint my exact prescription. Thereafter, one of their sales women helped me to pick out two pairs of glasses. Again, she was very friendly and took a lot of time with me. They have a ton of different frames. I was really amazed at how competative their prices are. They are way less than the mall eyeglass stores. I am wearing my new glasses as I type this and they are wonderful. My experience at Dr. Friedman's office was top notch from start to finish and I will definitely return. Pros: Great service, selection and prices Cons: None that I saw more

Having just moved to Beverly Hills from New York I had no idea where to go for my contacts and eye exam. I found Dr Friedman's office in the yellow pages. When I called the office I expected to make an appointment for at least a few days out but I was able to get the same day 6:00 which helped me because I could go after work. My boyfriend came too and his exam was only $49.00!! The front office greeted me with very friendly outgoing service. The doctor was extremely professional and explained each test to me in detail. The equipment they use their looks like the very best. I was impressed. During my exam the doctor discovered my dry eyes which I have been suffering with for a long time. He prescribed eye drops, gave me some free samples and gave me several helpful solutions on how we could treat it. He also gave me a new type of contact lenses which they had in stock and they felt very comfortable and helped with my dry eyes.\r The selection of Dr Friedman's glasses were incredible. I have never seen so many designers in one office. The lady who helped me pick out the glasses was very knowledgeable and personable. She made me feel very comfortable and I selected a Fendi which I ended up getting the same day too even with my high prescription lenses. My boyfriend also ended up getting a pair of MauJims. I will definitley recommend Dr Friedman's Office for great service and selection. Pros: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and doctor. You can get an appointment right away because they have more than one doctor. more

I had a terrific experience at Dr. Friedman's office in Culver City. The front desk staff was extrememly friendly, quick and very efficient. The doctor was very patient while I asked questions about my contact lens prescription. They even had my lenses in stock so I I could get all my contacts that day. The opticain who helped me could not have been more knowledeable. They have an unbelievable selection of designer glasses, I liked the selection of Maui Jim and Oakley. My wife also ended up having her eyes examined and she also got glasses. They were even able to make the glasses while we waited. Overall, we had a great experience. Thanks doc! Pros: Excellent selection of glasses, they have contacts in stock so you can get them same day, personal service Cons: a little busy more

This was my first time at the optometrist, so I didn't know what to expect. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions, though there were a number of other patients there (and I have been back since, and it always seem to be the same). The optometrist himself was friendly and offered information without me asking, like why they shine light into the eyes (to check for brain tumors! O_O), certain eye's vision being worse depending on if you're left or right handed, the issue of whether one strains their eyes more from wearing glasses, not wearing them, or wearing old prescriptions, and how the machines they use for eye exams work. They have some very new and advanced machines, which is nice. The person who finally handled helping me choose the frames and fitting the lenses was very helpful; she even gave me a discount (I got metal frames for the price of plastic; they're normally more expensive), and advice on which frames (which I kindly rejected; I don't go for the emo look...). I have been back since and will continue to go back. The only problems I've had is that after three years a nose pad on my glasses has fallen off =) more
