Dan B Carver, OD, FAAO

Dr. Carver is very kind and thorough. He also has surrounded himself with an equally kind and thorough office staff. They are patient and helpful through difficult eye tests. I am very sensitive and have a hard time not blinking, but they never give up and never lose patience. Dr. Carver patiently explains the tests he does and allows enough time to answer questions without seeming hurried. I recommended him to my husband and he is now a satisfied patient as well.

First time to the optometrist in a long time. Loved it! Dr Carver and his staff are extremely professional. Will recommend to family and friends.

I’ve been coming to see Dr. Carver for years, and appreciate the quality of the service at the office as well as his manner conducting the exam. I always felt my eyes were in good, competent hands with Dr. Carver.

Thorough exams but pricy glasses. Can he actually charge both VSP and your medicare too at the same time? I had no idea he could do that.

First time seeing Dr carver and i must say it was amazimg!!! Quick friendly service. Thank you for letting me see again. See you soon

I’ve seen Dr Carver for almost 35 years! He and his staff are nothing short of EXCELLENT! Dr Carver explains everything in detail and is very knowledgeable! I would recommend Dr Carver to everyone!

Most thorough eye exam I’ve ever had. Spends a good amount of time with you and take his time to make sure everything is correct — never felt rushed during the exam.
His fitting team is awesome & also take there time when ordering you new glasses. When picking up your glasses, the team does a great job of making sure they fit perfectly.
I’m now a two timer and have enjoyed both experiences. I look forward to my 3^rd annual visit.

10 stars if I could give them! I’ve known about Dr. Carver for a few years but had never been to him. When I had an eye emergency yesterday I called them. Summer got me in that afternoon! I have seen 2 Opthamologists in OC. One was terrible. Not at all forthcoming with diagnosis or treatment options. The other has a great reputation and I was pleased with him, but he was not even in the same league as Dr. Carver when it came to an in depth eye exam.
Worried about a detached retina he did multiple tests, the last one being an ultrasound of my retina and optic nerve. Even the high priced Irvine guy did not do that. Then Dr. Carver sat with me and explained everything, showing me what a problem would look like if I had one. Not only did I not have a problem but my eyes are great and I do not have cataracts (which I was told by a popular optometrist). I got home and found out I do not have a plan for glasses exam with Dr. Carver but it is certainly worth the money out of pocket to go to him.
Do not hesitate. And he takes Medicare on assignment.

Dr. Carver is thorough, patient, and a very good doctor. I have been a patient for more than 30 years and have relied
on him for my eye health. He has always been on target with his recommendations and analysis.

I have been visiting Dr. Carver for several years and he just gets better. He keeps himself up on any of the latest technology and always knows exactly what is happening with my eyes. He spends as much time as needed for my exam and does several different exams to make sure my eyes are healthy in all areas. I appreciate his knowledge and caring manner. He has a kind personality and a fun sense of humor. You couldn’t find a better optometrist!

They are great! Friendly and helpful. Just the best.

Dr carver is by far the best eye doctor ! I was referred by a friend and I am so glad that i listened! I have referred every person I know to him, and will continue to do so! Thank you for everything you do!

If you want/​need a very thorough eye exam — Dr. Carver is just that. He explains the process of the eye to any medical conditions that may be challenging to you. Dr. Carver and the entire staff are exceptional — a rare find!

I have been a patient of Dr. Dan Carver for many years. My children also since they were little. I can’t believe I haven’t written a review on this gentleman. He is the most intelligent, professional, skilled, kind, with truly possesses the best bedside manners of a physician. He has given top notch care for our eyes. His selection of eye ware is beautiful. Jim is very knowledgeable about fitting you in the perfect glasses. Dr. Carver’s office is also beautiful and inviting. He is the one to see! Literally.

Dr. carver is fabulous. He’s caring and genuinely interested in his patients. Jim, who does the eyeglasses, is also fabulous. He cares and does his best to help with any problems you may have. Linda is very friendly and efficient. All in all, going to that office is a very positive experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Carver for about 25 years. His experience, expertise, and patient rapport are extraordinary. I have never felt rushed or that I was simply one among many patients. Dr. Carver is impeccably thorough in his examinations and takes lots of time answering any questions. I recommend Dr. Caver for all of your eye-​care needs. In addition, he has carefully chosen a wonderful staff.

The last time I got my eyes checked was 4 years ago and my last eye exam was nothing like the one that Dr. Carver provides. He is so informative, thorough and personable. He also explained to me that my current glasses were too strong for my eyes, but did not bash my old optometrist. I had a wonderful experience with the entire staff and Dr. Carver! Thank you for the unparallelled service! Cannot wait to get my glasses this week! :)

I’ve been going to Dr. Carver for probably 20 years and would recommend him to anyone. Recently my son had some severe swelling around his eye that came out of nowhere. We called the office and they got us in within an hour to have him looked at. Luckily it was just an allergic reaction, but Dr. Carver made sure to give him a full look-​over to be sure. To top it off, he also personally called us over the weekend to check and see how he our son was doing.

Best thing you can ever do for your eyes!
Dr. Carver is extremely knowledgable and highly thorough. I have astigmatism and am very far sighted and have been trying to find contact lenses for over 15 years with no luck. Dr. carver performed various exams and told me more about my eyes than I had ever been told by other doctors. Dr. carver spent quite some time explaining things to me with models and made sure that all of my questions were answered. Dr. Carver knew exactly what I needed. I left the same day with contact lenses that worked for my eyes. Dr Carver is by far the best optometrist I have ever worked with. Not to mention that he prescribed better contacts that were half the price I was charged by previous optometrists.

Went to Dr. Caver for an eye exam and absolutely loved the amazing service him and the staff gave me. From beginning to end everyone was very helpful. Dr. Carver went into detail about any questions I had. He really takes the time to explain how it all works and gives some great examples to help you understand.
When I went to pick out my frames Jim and the staff were very patient with me and helped me pick out my glasses.
