Jeffrey Taranto, OD

I met Dr. Taranto at a networking event and thought he was very professional and very knowledgable so when I needed my eyes checked, I went to his office. When I walked in, I was greeted by his receptionist and she was very polite and had me fill out the paperwork. I then met with the doctor and his assistant, forgot her name but Super Cool. He did his exam, no pain or anything uncomfortable and had a great time chatting to the doctor. They helped me through all the insurance mumbo jumbo and hooked me up with a nice pair of sunglasses. The Frames were killer.
I highly recommend Dr. Taranto to anyone who has any concerns about their eyes and eyesight.

Dr Jeffrey Taranto is the nicest person I ever met, I had an accident at work and hit my eye, looking for a previous doctor I knew on ventura blvd that day, he wasnt available so they refered me to Dr Taranto couldnt be happier I have no insurance but what they charged me it
Was so worth for the treatment I am very thankful for seeing me that same day no appt. needed, very profesional he explained everything and made feel I was in good hands, I definitely recommend him, great optometrist!!!

I am now giving this doctor a 1 star review because he is sending me private messages threatening me with a lawyer for calling him money hungry. Unilocal is a public forum to express our thoughts on businesses. I don’t appreciate private messages threatening me with lawsuits. I could post a lot more on here about your unprofessional attitude, but will abstain.

I absolutely love my new contacts!

Fast turnaround and very agreeable opticians. Especially Nancy the fox. Conveniently located across from PEETS coffee and next to Arts deli. Jamie is also very helpful and they have thousands of classes to choose from

I used Unilocal and I base my decision on reviews and stars even before I’m interested I wanted to get my 6yr. Old daughter’s eyes examined. Dr. Taranto has «5 stars» so it was a no brainer to check his office out. Once I had the experience with Dr. Taranto and his staff I was blown away with the customer service and etc. The staff was pleasant, amazing, polite, very courteous, and very attentive with their services and my needs for my daughter.
Dr. Taranto is very knowledgable and great Optometrist. He has tons of patience and makes the experience pleasant for kids. I highly recommend Dr. Taranto overall!

I never had to wear glasses before, so i was a little nervous, but Jeffrey was great at making me feel comfortable the entire time. You can tell he really cares. I highly recommend going here.

Was visiting a friend in studio city when I unfortunately left my glasses in a taxi. My friend brought me to Dr. Jeff (who was amazing if I may add) and they had new prescription sunglasses (even higher quality than the ones I had in NYC) in an hour. They were very attentive to my needs and were absolute lifesavers. I would recommend Dr. Jeff in a heartbeat.

Dr. Taranto is my new eye doctor after moving back to US, and I couldn’t be happier. I love him very much, thank you.

The staff their is great, friendly, educated.
They are are so helpful and honest!
I highly recommend Dr. Taranto. They explain what they will be doing and the best options/​Prices for you.
IF YOU HAVE VSP INSURANCE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GO HERE!!! or any insurance.
I cant wait to get my glasses!!!

High marks for Dr. Taranto and the staff of Idol Eyes Optometry in Studio City for their responsive and friendly care. Dr. Taranto has a grounding in pathology and practical medicine and a breadth of knowledge that puts him a cut above your average, run-of-the-«mall» optometrist. His timely diagnosis and expert treatment effectively saved my vision. Many thanks!

Dr. Taranto is such a talented and knowledgable optometrist. He clearly explains what he is doing in every step and goes over all the science with you, which is a lot of fun! He’s friendly, funny and clearly loves practicing. I really feel that he makes a genuine effort to get to know me, not just my prescription number. He made sure I was completely happy with my contacts before ordering, and was nice enough to see me for two separate fittings to make sure I was happy.
The staff is also wonderful. They made such an effort to get me an immediate appointment, which I needed because I was down to my last contact lens. When I first walked in, I immediately noticed how beautifully decorated the office is. It is such a welcoming and warm office, while very stylish and modern.
He has put so much personal thought and care in to every detail of his practice, everything from the medical equipment he uses to his beautiful selection of frames. I love the Etnia vintage collection! So lightweight and beautiful. Nancy was so helpful and wonderful in helping me choose my frames.
It is such a pleasure to see him and his staff! I’m so glad that I saw Dr. Taranto. I could never have gotten anywhere near the high quality of care (or fun!) anywhere else!

Dr Taranto is my first and only optometrist. I went to see him after realizing I had been putting off getting glasses for way too long. His office is Studio City is super modern. He has all the latest eye technology in house and can cut most lenses there as well. They have a great, caring staff and have so many designer frames to choose from. Dr. Taranto is a great dude. Very caring and listens to your needs. I’m so glad I found him. Being a first time eye patient, I was very confident in the personalized care given to me there. You won’t be disappointed!

Dr. Taranto is awesome. I made an appointment the same day I called and the whole visit (including eye exam) was a breeze. There was one older lady behind the counter that seemed like she didn’t care to help me, but the rest of the staff was very helpful which made up for the apathy I received from older lady.
Nancy who helped me decide on the which frames to get was awesome and friendly. Picked up my new frames in a week!
Definitely recommend Dr. Taranto to anyone in the area. FINALLY, I found an eye doctor I’ll likely return to.

I love my new Etnia sunglasses! Idol Eyes has such a great selection of frames and styles

Super helpful and awesome experience. Jeff is not only a smart dr but also a cool guy. Everytime I come in we end up spending most of the time joking and talking about life. If you want a professional who really knows how to interact with patients you have to go to Jeff!

I recently moved to the valley from Hollywood and because I wanted to stay away from the Hollywood traffic — I had to find a new optometrist!
I found Dr Taranto and I have to say, he is amazing! English is my second language, so I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the time he took to thoroughly explain everything to me.
Once I got to pick out my glasses — I got help from Nancy, she’s great! I picked out a beautiful pair of glasses and I couldn’t be happier.
I would recommend Dr Taranto to strangers, friends, and families :)

SOO many great things to say about this place.
First, I’d like to lay a little context for fellow Los Angeles new-​comers: I moved here a few years ago and had been on a painfully unsuccessful search to find an optometrist I liked and trusted. And I honestly can’t believe some of the experiences I had while trying to do that. I won’t name names, but OMG it was just a blur of wrong prescriptions, rude service, and upsettingly unorganized appointments. I’ve been wearing glasses/​contacts since I was 10 so I know the importance of eye heath AND the importance of feeling like I can TRUST my doctor.
So I’ll spare you the gory details, but basically enough was enough and I went on a researching frenzy for a REAL doctor.
Then lo and behold! Finally I found my little slice of eyeball heaven: Dr. Taranto and his staff are amazing. First of all, they cover everything I’m looking for in a doctor’s office– they are knowledgable, patient, extremely good at what they do, and above all they make me feel incredibly secure that I’m getting my eyes the best care possible. Beyond that, I think Taranto is actually one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. AAAND their frames are gorgeous… which usually isn’t a huge selling point for me because I have online places I like to order from, but it’s sooo much nicer when you can actually see frames on your face first. Okay and wait, it gets better (even possible?): They. Cut. Lenses. IN. HOUSE! Which I realize that may not be a big deal to everyone. But when you know the pain of waiting weeks on end… and then a few more weeks… and then you get your lenses and they’re wrong… Then you’ll understand what a big deal that is haha
Anyway, to wrap up, I can’t get over how happy I am to have finally found Dr. Taranto and his team. I’m officially a lifer and am recommending to aaall my friends! :) :)

Yes guys we have a new doctor in town me and my family went there for an exam pretty good doctor I would say he is so nice and knowledgeable of his field he’s got variety of different types of glasses in the store and uses updated technology

I was eating at Arts Deli in Studio City, and needed an eye exam and new glasses. I had been with Dr. Martin Hyman in Westwood for 20 years, but didn’t want to drive out there. went on Groupon, found Dr. Taranto, who happened to be 5 doors down. Walked over, made appt for later that day. and was very pleasantly surprised of how nice the shop and staff were. The exam was one of the best and most comprehensive one I have ever gotten, Dr. Taranto knows his stuff. Jessica, helped me find a great pair of glasses, and a few days later I had a terrific new pai, I even replaced my lenses in a pair of Ray Bans, which they gave me a great price on.
I set out on a cross country trip, in the middle of Texas. I broke my glasses, i sent back the lenses and because the frames were under warranty, Dr. Taranto, found a new pair, and 3 days later in Georgia, I have my new glasses. .what a pleasure this all was…
