    Ocean Ranch Optometry is a fantastic optical location starting with Dr. John Spaeth, professional,…read moreknowledgeable and right to the point. Been coming to Dr. Spaeth for over 15 yrs. and we follows him since he moved from Rancho Santa Margarita to Dana Point, we come see him from Irvine, CA Staff are very helpful and kind. Recommend this business 100% Elizabeth & Miguel O.

    Hello Let me start…read moreoff by saying that Dr Spaeth and his team are real pros!!!!!!. I am convinced that with doctor's knowledge and experience he will fix it or get you the best referral to treat your vision issues. The first person in our family to make contact with the doctor was my brother Chris, when during mountain bike riding accident he experienced a handful of coarse sand launched into his eyes. The pain was immense and he completely lost vision in one eye, driving with one eye he reached the Dr. Spaeths office, and chris was very happy that all the coarse sand was cleaned off his contact lenses and the sclera and he recovered all his vision back. My eye adventure was much more dangerous, as one morning I woke up with a cobweb floater taking up 33% of my vision, urgent care said it was nothing to worry about and should go away soon, well the floater was still there several days later, so listening to my brothers recommendation I made an appointment with Dr. Spaeth's office asap, turns out i had a detached retina and needed immediate surgery to save the vision in my eye. Heavy? You better believe it, and Dr Spaeth diagnosed the situation correctly and he took immediate action and made a call and got me an appointment at the best ophthalmology center in the country ( just the opinion of many) in Orange California. Not only did the surgeon save my vision (including peripheral vision) my eyes reaction time was as good as usual as i returned to playing competitive tennis. The recovery time was difficult and long and Dr Spaeth was there for me every step of the way. Fast forward to my 90 plus year old mom who has had countless eye infections and has extreme dry eyes that at times were so painful she would scream in pain. (after deciding to ditch the large eye center down south she decided to give Dr Spaeth a try, and I am happy to say she is back normal with very little pain. So as far as a rating I would give Dr. Spaeth and his team (who were very patient, knowledgeable and understanding) 1,000 out of 1,000. Mike, daidre, and chris

This place delivers an incredible cold plunge experience that's truly transformative. The facility is spotless, modern, and beautifully set up right on Pacific Coast Highway, making it super convenient and welcoming. The cold plunges are maintained at perfect temperatures (ranging from those invigorating 33-46°F levels), and the contrast with the dry sauna or other recovery options like red light therapy, PEMF, and hyperbaric sessions creates an unbeatable full-body reset. After a session, I walk out feeling energized, with reduced inflammation, clearer focus, and that massive dopamine boost everyone raves about--it's like hitting refresh on your entire system. Whether you're an athlete pushing limits or just looking to build resilience and shake off daily stress, the plunges here perform at an elite level. No wonder it consistently gets glowing reviews for the quality and results! What really sets Plunge Performance apart right now is the wonderful new owner, Thomas. He's brought such positive energy, genuine care, and a passion for helping people thrive. Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable about the science behind cold therapy and recovery modalities--he takes time to chat with you, offer personalized tips, and make sure your experience is tailored just right. His friendly, approachable vibe makes every visit feel special and supportive, like you're part of a community rather than just a client. The whole team seems inspired by his leadership, and it's clear he's committed to keeping the standards sky-high while making the place even more inviting. If you're in the Dana Point area (or willing to drive for something exceptional), do yourself a favor and book a session at Plunge Performance. It's more than just a plunge--it's an investment in feeling amazing, and with Thomas at the helm, the future looks even brighter. Highly recommend--5 stars all the way

I have been coming to this Costco for nearly 5 years now and in that time, I have had numerous amount of interactions with flat out rude employees. This morning, my son and I went grocery shopping and it was early so they were not packed at all. We finished grocery shopping and we get over to the self checkout and the lady at the self checkout, which is empty by the way, let's all the customer in front of me go to a register and stops me and doesn't even give me the option to say no. She says " I need to scan your items." in the last month alone this has happened three times. I don't know if it's because I have a young child or if because most of the clientele at this Costco are older. I genuinely feel discriminated against, and it bothers me a lot. I really don't want to drive to Aliso Viejo because I go to Costco on a weekly basis but I think their policy should be made clear. Do only older people get to scan their products? Is it because I am Hispanic? Or is it because I have my child. My grocery bill was $120, and I had 7 items. I don't see any reason why I should not be allowed to scan my own items. I should get to choose if I want the help or not. I will be calling the store manager and see what they say.
