Drs. Balfour & Shapiro, Optometrists

Went to this place based off of convenience and reviews and I was with Dr. Shapiro. Appointment ran about an hour, normal, and he was thorough and was easy to talk to. I got my questions answered and found out a little more about my eyes. When I picked frames within my insurance, it was a decent sized option and even had colors and various frame types. Enjoyed the experience and can't wait for my glasses to come in! This place works with Medi-Cal plans! Bonus: Atmosphere is clean, nice, and is very cozy.

First time here, and it was hard to find a clinic that offers Otis & Piper frames covered by our insurance. I called the same day and was able to get an open appointment with Balfour & Shapiro Optometry for my son with Dr. Shapiro. That alone was a win. The clinic is located on Broadway between 5th and 6th Street in DTLA. I dropped my son off to find parking, and by the time I walked in, he was already picking out frames.

Best eye doctor, in LA. I been going to him since I was a little girl I’m 34yrs old now. He’s very patient and passionate about his job and clients. Receptionist is very nice and helpful. Not long wait time they get you in and out and explain everything about your appointment to you.

Drs. Shapiro and Balfour are both excellent and the staff is great! I have a difficult prescription and Dr. Shapiro went above and beyond with his time and kindness. You can go there with confidence.

This was the best eye doctor I ever been to and I’ve been getting eyeglasses for years. I want to think this place and definitely tell people about it. They cared about you and I want to thank you they were so nice and pleasant. The nicest place I’ve been in Fort Dennis for our doctor. Thank you.
