Meet Our Team
Dr. Sarah Frassato
Doctor
Dr. Frassato was born and raised in Illinois. She and her family recently relocated to the South Bay area from Palm Desert, CA. She graduated from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and earned her Doctorate of Optometry from The Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago. Dr. Frassato is a therapeutic licensed optometrist whose expertise lies in specialty contact lens fittings, co-management of refractive surgery, and the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ocular disease. She completed clinical rotations at the Illinois Eye Institute, the Crown Point VA and the Victorian College of Optometry at the University of Melbourne, Australia. She has spent time volunteering with the Flying Doctors free clinic in Thermal, California and completed a SVOSH international trip in Puerto Cortez, Honduras providing free eye care to those in need.
In her free time, she enjoys yoga, hiking and hanging out in Riviera Village with her husband, Jon and their twin daughters, Sofia and Stella.
Marisol
Optician
Marisol Gonzalez is native to the South Bay and has lived here her entire life. She has been in the optical field for over 24 years and is now the lead optician for Redondo Optometry. Her extensive knowledge and experience with optical lenses and frame selection fits perfectly with the large selection offered at Redondo Optometry. She is extremely helpful and will work with you to find the perfect frame for your face. When she is not working, Marisol loves to spend time with her family and enjoy the beautiful beaches and weather.
Hikari
Hikari is the newest addition to our Redondo Optometry team. Born in Japan and raised in Torrance, Hikari acquired her B.S. degree in Biology at Fresno State. As our receptionist, she manages the front office which includes tasks, such as scheduling appointments, answering phone calls, and conducting the pretest and retinal photos. She loves anything to do with the outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and even taking road trips! She loves meeting new people, so feel free to stop by and say hi!
Dr. Sandy Hokama
Doctor
Dr. Sandy Hokama retired on 12/23/22. She is currently providing her support to Dr. Sarah Frassato with Redondo Optometry. Sandy Hokama O.D., has been in private practice since 1992. Her first practice was in Torrance before she moved to Redondo Beach in 2002. She is a graduate of West High School and proceeded to get her B.S. in Biology at Loyola Marymount University and O.D. at Southern California College of Optometry.
Besides being a mother of two beautiful daughters who are now grown adults on their own journeys, she enjoys gardening, working out, and traveling with her husband of 32 years. It was and still is a difficult time for her to let go of Redondo Optometry and the friendships she developed over the many years. Being a breast cancer survivor and having the recent loss of her Mom and Dad, she realized her health was important and reluctantly decided to retire, to start a new phase of healthy living. She has a great love and joy for everyone that is a part of Redondo Optometry.
