Hello Let me start off 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 read more

This place is amazing. Dr. Spaeth gave me my vision back with scleral lenses. I drive from Buena Park just to see him. I literally got tears in my eyes the minute I could see: kerataconus is a degenerative cornea disease which distorts your vision to basically blur. I was hopeless and didn't know if I'd ever see again. Saved every dollar I had to get these scleral lenses and they were so worth it!!! Man: you can't put a price tag on excellent customer service, hospitality, and the best eye Doc I've had in a very very long time! So thankful to you all in the office! read more

A friend referred me to Ocean Ranch Optometry. What a great experience. After my detailed eye exam today, I ordered both contacts and lenses. Dr. Spaeth took the time to explain in detail the health of my eyes and the optimization of my eyesight. His staff were able to quickly evaluate my eyecare insurance plan and explain exactly what was covered and what was out of pocket for me. I live in Newport Beach, so it was a bit of a drive, but 100% worth it. I highly recommend this business to others. read more

I understand why Dr. Spaeth and the staff of Ocean Ranch Optometry have such favorable reviews! I visited twice to treat shingles around my eye. I felt very well cared for by Dr. Spaeth, and was greatly relieved, of course, when I came through the experience with my vision intact. I had also developed blepharitis and Dr. Spaeth explained how I could treat it with over the counter products which worked very well. The Ocean Ranch Optometry staff were top notch, and it was a pleasure to talk with them. read more

Ocean Ranch Optometry is very well run Optometry office. The doctor was wonderful and explained each step of the eye examination thoroughly and efficiently. He assured all my questions were answered My appointment started on time and the office is clean and modern. Additionally they have an easy reminder system so you won't lose track of your appointments I would definitely recommend this practice read more

It can be nerve wracking switching doctors. Due to recent changes, our previous optometrist (whom we were satisfied with) is no longer taking our insurance. I'm so pleased that we found Ocean Ranch Optometry. Razzy, Patient Coordinator, was friendly & knowledgeable. Dr. Spaeth, OD was thorough with my exam and did not rush through my concerns with vision & dry eyes. Theresa patiently explained the fees for contacts and glasses. I highly recommend Ocean Ranch Optometry! read more

Kudos to Dr John Spaeth and his staff! Dr Spaeth is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. His staff is amazing as well, Teresa and Daniel went above and beyond helping with my prescription glasses. I highly recommend this Optometry and will always go back for future exams/glasses/sunglasses. read more

Dr. Spaeth and his whole staff are just the BEST! They are all so utterly committed to perfection - something I've never previously encountered in an optometry practice. Both Dr. Spaeth (who has assiduously monitored my family history of glaucoma and fitted me for multi-focal RGP lenses) and Daniel (who has now made at least 7-8 pairs of eyeglasses for me, with unstoppable cheer and a remarkable skill for navigating insurance plans) are amazingly skilled and compassionate - I highly recommend this whole practice! read more

they are very helpful and friendly. They also have one of the best selections in designer glasses and sunglasses.

The doctor was wonderful and considered my history of a traumatic brain injury, with resulting eye problems, very carefully and caringly (I don't think that's a word). They were professional and although booked for a month, they called me right back with a cancellation. I would strongly recommend them to family or friends. read more

Super exciting to find Ocean Ranch Optometry!! Great selection of frames and everyone far exceeded my expectations from my eye exam to product delivery. My glasses were delivered super fast and were perfectly crafted the first time. A+. read more

We are snowbirds who spend 6 months a year in Cali. During this trip, I had an issue with my eye. I thought something was lodged in it. At the advice of a close friend, I called Ocean Ranch Optometry, in Monarch Beach. After calling and explaining the situation, I was given the choice of an immediate appointment or one in the later afternoon. I chose the first one. Upon arrival, I realized that Dr. Spaeth had agreed to see me on his lunch break. He examined my eye and told me there was nothing lodged in my eye but, rather, I had an open ulcer. He took the time to draw a picture of the ulcer's location, explain the seriousness of this condition but also assured me that the fact I sought immediate medical attention helped the prognosis immensely. He talked in detail about a timeline, medication and remediation. He set another appointment to re-examine progress. I had that appointment today! His staff greeted me in the same warm, professional manner as in the previous visit....but, this time they called me by name. Dr. Spaeth saw me immediately, evaluated progress and set our next appointment. I feel so confident that my eye health is in good hands. I am so appreciative of Dr. Spaeth and his staff. read more

I have to say I have never seen such exceptional service from a company if I didn't witness firsthand. Dr. Spaeth and his beautiful wife have not only an impeccable professionalism regarding their business acumen but they also bring an indelible impressive customer service that is unmatched. I had an emergency where my glasses broke and Dr. Spaeth and his wife went out of their way among the uncertainty of our current environment, to help me. They didn't have to. They jeopardized their health and their families health to open their office to go above and beyond to help me. This is a true sign of an amazing business as well as service! Exceptional! read more

I cannot say enough about this crew at Ocean Ranch Optometry!! In this difficult time of isolating and social distancing it is difficult to experience a personal touch but that is not the case with Dr. Spaeth and his office staff. During regular visits under normal circumstances the staff are always friendly and helpful. They greet you like a friend and service is top notch. During this difficult time the office is not open as usual but Dr. Spaeth is still taking calls and giving the same level of customer service. I miss all the friendly faces and look forward to seeing them again very soon. If you are looking for an Optometrist you just have to meet Dr. Spaeth. You will be so glad you did and you will be pleased with the level of expertise and professionalism. I am grateful for Dr. Spaeth, his wife Abby who is so easy to talk with and understands your needs. This is an awesome team!! Check them out soon!!! read more

Best experience ever! Excellent selection. So appreciative of COVID policies. Call first! Appointments necessary. Staff by and Dr. so helpful, kind and friendly! Thank you for everything! Susan read more

I have been a long time patient of Dr Spaeth's...absolutely love him and his staff. Just got a new prescription I thought I needed tweaked ( but did not) they got me right in and Dr. Spaeth also checked out my severe dry eye issue, that was most likely causing vision disturbance. Thank you Razzy for your kindness and assistance and to Theresa...for getting me and knowing my style and what I like. It's nice to have an honest opinion, not just someone trying to sell you something! I highly recommend this office. Both my husband and I are very happy here!! read more

Dr. Spaeth is my hero. He has helped me for over 20 years through one eye problem (not of his doing) and another. Just recently he fit me with a scleral lens in my remainin eye (also not of his doing) and I see better and more comfortably than I have in years when I was using my RGP lens. He has a wonderful and caring and helpful staff -- love them -- oh, and beautiful and stylish frames from which to choose. And he's patient, a quality I so admire and don't possess. Update: August 2018. Hero again. Just used my eye too much without blinking (dry eye syndrome) and thought I'd lost the sight I have left. Followed his instructions. All better. read more

This place was fantastic with service and care. I was coming from out of town during Thanksgiving break and had an emergency eye ulcer and they took me right in and me made feel assured. Dr. Spaeth Jr was compassionate, personable, and very helpful with handling my eye issue. Definitely recommend this optometry for all. read more

I stopped by for a simple adjustment, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I left feeling good as new with perfectly fitted glasses! I wouldn't have questioned a service charge, especially since I am not an existing patient- but they fixed me up for free! Should I need help again, I'll be coming here. read more

Can't say enough about Dr. Spaeth, Abbie and Razzy! Dr. Spaeth will take his time to get my prescription right (which is difficult) and never makes me feel bad if I have an issue. Abbie and Razzy are so helpful with picking out glasses and their patience is never ending. They do everything with a great attitude! And if I ever have a problem with my glasses or a new prescription, I am confident they will solve whatever the problem is. Very grateful to have found them! read more

I came in to buy a pair of glasses and Daniel was so patient with me trying on like 20+ pairs and gave his opinion when I asked for it. Super nice guy and was happy to answer my millions of questions. read more

This place is really convenient since it's by Ralph's. The staff was friendly and the doctor knowledgeable and kind as well. I was basically in and out right under an hour and that's with dilation and digital pictures. I got over charged but called and they were very nice and said it was a mistake and they'll adjust it. I don't use eyewear so can't comment on the selection. But it was definitely friendly and not pushy. read more

As a keratoconus patient, my eye care is pretty challenging. This progressive cornea disease is one of Dr. John Spaeth's specialties. He and I have worked together over the last four years managing this via schlero contact lenses. Although these are a bit pricey and a little bit of a pain to use, I am continuing to see nearly 20/20 in both eyes and it looks like I will avoid a cornia transplant the rest of my life -- and you can't put a price on that! My experience with Dr. Spaeth and his staff has been wonderful. A great guy to work with in a very challenging situation. Keep up the good work! read more

The doctor was more interested in selling me things then doing a thorough exam. I had my paperwork shredded and will never be back, one of the worst experiences. The Doctor belittled me and talked negatively about my past optometrist- shameful on his part. There are a lot more optometrists out there, take your insurance and business someplace else. read more

If you are looking for a great place for the care of your eyes, I highly recommend Ocean Ranch Optometry/Dr. Spaeth. Dr. Spaeth and his staff are as friendly as they are professional. Dr Spaeth will always take the time to thoroughly explain everything you need to know regarding your eye exam and the care of your eyes. Your visit will equate to more than the five stars you are allowed in this review. Also, if you are looking for new eyewear, Ocean Ranch staff can help you with the latest styles and fit them to perfection. Carl L read more

Stumbled across this place. The girl who helped me was very kind and helpful! She gave an honest opinion on glasses and different frames I tried on. Ordered on a Tuesday got glasses by Friday! Great place read more

This office is impressive time after time. Very personal attention, knowledgeable staff and pleasant environment with happy staff. If you want any kind of contacts, Dr Spaeth is very skilled. Ever hear of bifocal contacts?? So great for vision over 50! read more

I had a issue with my lenses today and dropped into see what could be done (scratches) Abby helped me and determined my lenses were still under warranty and ordered me new lenses. This is a family run business and everyone there could not be more professional and helpful. I look forward every year to my yearly exam and getting new glasses. I highly recommend giving them a try if you need eye care great quality with service to go along with it. read more

Highly recommend Ocean Ranch Optometry! I recently moved to the area and needed to find a new eye doctor and am so glad to have found Dr. John Spaeth. His staff was very friendly helping my husband and I navigate our insurance benefits (and even helped me to get a rebate on my contact lens order). Dr. Spaeth made us feel welcome, and I knew I was in good hands when he actually reduced my prescription and gave me a trial pair of lenses to take home before I committed to ordering a 6 month supply. read more

I have serious problems including a detached retina and my surgeon recommended the best and it was Ocean Ranch optometry! Dr. Spaeth is outstanding: Knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate, and clinically superb. The entire team at Ocean Ranch optometry are equally delightful to work with. I wish I could give even more stars than our offered here! read more

Dr. John Spaeth is a fantastic practitioner. He has assembled an outstanding team. Razzy, Pam, Jordan and Theresa are the best! Their care and service are professional, comprehensive and friendly. They are a fun loving group! This may not be something you hear often, but I love going to have my eye exams at Ocean Ranch Optometry. read more

The eye doctor, John Spaeth, was amazing with our little guy. He is only four and was new to all the eye equipment and procedures. The doc was so entertaining and put him at ease so he performed all the tests to determine his near sightedness. I would totally recommend any age to go there and in fact I am sending my oldest son there next week too. read more

The front desk girl that was snooty to me no longer works here and for that, they get 5 stars. A superior optometry office.

I recently moved and had to find a new optometrist and boy did I luck out finding this place! The doctor is wonderful and his support staff is very attentive and helpful. When picking out my glasses, they really listened to what it was I was looking for and helped make the choice quick and easy. Plus, they went out of their way to make it possible for my mom to keep her old frames with her new prescription even though they didn't carry the right model. read more

My whole family goes to Ocean Ranch Optometry. Both Drs are very thorough and explain in detail any questions you have after your exam I love Joyce...She helps me pick out my frames, for which I always get compliments read more

I can not express how much I appreciate this optometrist. Not only is the dr wonderful, but truthfully the dr though he is wonderful, the staff(Razzi) makes his office exceptional!! read more

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! read more
