Ocean Ranch Optometry

Came back to Unilocal just to update our review now that we are in our third year of using Ocean Ranch Optometry. We are still big fans so if you are looking for a friendly professional helpful office come see Dr. Spaeth

Ocean Ranch Optometry has a super professional and kind staff, is impeccably clean and has a great selection of frames to choose from. My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Spaeth for about three years now and we couldn’t be more satisfied. The level of care and service is top notch. Plus everyone is SO friendly. Terie is amazing at picking out just the right frames that actually look good on your face. She is also very knowledgable in choosing the different lenses. Terie also adjusts all my frames just right so that they don’t slip, yet are not too tight either. The receptionist is so sweet and professional also. This office also handles my insurance seamlessly, so that I don’t have to worry about contacting my insurance company at all. Basically, it’s a great place to be and I highly recommend Ocean Ranch Optometry.

Love this office – beginning with the smiling reception from the front desk (Razzy) through the general intake (Jordan) to the exam (Dr. Spaeth) – you can’t go wrong here! This group clearly enjoys what they do, and they show it and share it with you.
Like others, I would like to commend Terie on her patience and expertise… choosing frames, where there are so many options, is daunting. Terie was helpful every step of the way. Again, Love This Place!

This was my first time at Ocean Ranch Optometry. I found them through Unilocal.The staff was quick and efficient. I had a thorough eye exam and explanation of the condition of my eyes. I was very happy with my first visit. The biggest bonus is that they are open on Saturdays!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I had a thorough eye exam and received a thorough explanation. Terry afterwards spent time with me on the options for lenses and was very low pressure making me very comfortable. Wonderful place!

I was very pleased after my first visit at Ocean Ranch Optometry! The staff was pleasant and extremely helpful and was able to get me in quickly. I’d recommend them highly!

I want to urge anyone looking for an optometrist to try this office. The staff at Ocean Ranch Optometry are professional and have extraordinary customer service skills. Dr. Spaeth is
Caring and thorough. He listens and addresses all concerns and questions.
Got to give special mention to Terry as she is always cheerful and takes a special interest in your satisfaction and well being. From receptionist to products offered this is hands down the best office for all your optometry needs.
Give them a try your eyes will thank you.

I’ve been a patient with Dr Spaeth since he first opened in Dana Point, and have always had excellent care and service. He is friendly and communicative and truly listens. He has special skills fitting gas perm contacts that are unrivalled, and bifocal contacts as well. His office staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and always work to accommodate my schedule. I have recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so.

I was online looking for fishing sunglasses because my eyes are important for fishing! Well I found these guys on the internet through Maui Jim’s website. Couldn’t be happier! Teri was marvelous I would call her Professional Plus everything you want in a optician. All the data no BS, fast and informative. Ordered the glasses on Wednesday and picked them up on Saturday, really it was that fast. She won me over I would recommend that you stop by the office and if you have any questions or concerns ask for Teri!

Great Doctor and staff! Very knowledgeable and helpful! Caring attitude and great work!

My first visit here but definitely not my last. I could not be more pleased with facility, entire staff and Dr. Spaeth. Exam was very thorough and Dr. took time to explain and illustrate all findings. Everyone was personable, friendly and eager to make it a pleasurable experience.

I have been a patient at this location for many years. You don’t do that unless you are completely satisfied with the services you receive. Recently I had several frames filled with my prescription and as usual was totally satisfied with the excellent service and support from all staff members. Terie worked with me and took special care to ensure a perfect fit.
Thank you!

Fast, efficient and most importantly, friendly. They know their stuff. I am so happy I found them.

I am hooked on Ocean Ranch Optometry after my first appointment. Dr. Spaeth was very knowledgeable and thorough in my exam and explained my eye issues clearly in ways I could totally understand. He also has a great bedside manner. The office staff was so friendly and helpful. I felt like I had been a patient there for years and years. Do not hesitate to come to this office. One in a million!

Dawn was extremely helpful in advising and placing an order for Maui Jim lenses. I will definitely visit Ocean Ranch in the future and recommend this service to friends.

Dr. Spaeth & team at OR Optometry are awesome! Great service, great smiles & great location! I bought three pairs of glasses (one sunglasses, one for reading & one for night driving). I love funny but classy glasses and the frame selection was amazing! From Prada to Dior and Channel just to name a few. I highly recommend them! :-))

As much as I would love to rave about this place, I can’t! MY ADVISE… You want quick and efficient service DON’T GO HERE!!! Made my first appointment in July, amazing, wonderful, great. staff was nice and was in and out quickly. Bifocal Contact lenses were supposed to be ordered so I could try them, they said a couple of weeks… waited and waited, I called Mid August and the response was yes you can come pick them up. This meant the doctor was not gonna check the fit of the lenses onto my eyes. I tried them and they did not fit correctly, I could not see out of my left eye.
I called and got another appointment for 5:15pm, I was told it was an exception since the Dr. Spaeth likes to zoom out of there by 5:30. I arrived at 5:10 and was put in a room in which I waiting for 20 minutes. I told him my problem and he immediately said I needed expensive lenses, I told him I could not afford it. He said well then I am not sure what I can do for you, he went as far as letting me know the office was closed and no one was there to help me. Frankly, I was disappointed, he was really not looking to give me options. I was the one that suggested Mono-​vision Lenses, it was at that moment that he noticed my vision changed with the lenses, he said try them and let us know. I tried them and found my lens on the right eye was wrong.
I called so they could maybe order a lens with a quarter less than prescribed to try and solve the issue. I was told it would be ordered and they would call me in about 2 weeks, never got a call. I called and left a message, never got a call. I called again and was told lens had not been ordered and needed to be ordered and needed to be approved by the Dr. Spaeth, something I had been told had already been done.
I went in July 2014… It is not December 30^th, 2014 and still no lenses no nothing… huge disappointment. SO MY ADVISE… You want quick and efficient service DON’T GO HERE!!! Dr. Spaeth likes you to get only what he says without suggesting any options for you and seems antsy for you to leave so he can zoom out of there.

My family and I followed Dr. Spaeth to his present location despite having to drive 35 minutes because his office, including Dr. Prickett offer outstanding service and knowledgeable care. The staff is thorough, friendly, and helpful. I would not go anywhere else. We have been patients for about 20 years. It is always a pleasure and I feel extremely satisfied with all aspects of my experience.

Dr. Spaeth has been a pleasure to work with and was very
professional and knowledgeable for all my eye tests.
He was especially kind and helpful when I had a week=end
emergency and called me back within an hour of my call.
He solved my contacts issue over the phone but also let me
know he was willing to meet me at the office if I preferred.
I recommend this office for those reasons and will be returning
for all my eye care needs in the future.

Great service and awesome selection, must go!
