Blaze Paul A OD FAAO DBA Coast Optometric

It’s not easy going to the doctor, much less a new one… but have to admit that somehow after talking with staff I starting feeling comfortable. And the service and attention just was the icing on the cake. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work! :)

I wish all health care facilities were this friendly and competent. Dr. Blaze and staff are always smiling and seem happy to see you, and their quality of care is excellent. Everything is always clearly explained, I’m never rushed, and I always leave seeing well and feeling glad I came.

I have been going to Dr. blaze for years now. He is a very thorough doctor who is there for my every need. He gives his honest open on what he thinks about my eye care and I trust him 100%. His staff is very helpful and friendly. If you need an eye doctor this is the one for you to go see.

I figured it’s about time I write a review of Dr. Blaze. About 25-​years ago I was searching for an optometrist who could fit contact lenses. My first visit was 4+ hours and I tried on probably a dozen lenses. He got me seeing better than I ever had before.
Fast forward 25-​years, I now live in nor cal (don’t worry, I’m still a so cal native at heart) and make the flight to Dr. Blaze no questions asked once a year.
If you are thinking of seeing Dr. Blaze prepare to receive excellent attention without the feeling of being rushed. He is willing to chat and will work with you until you feel your vision is as best as can be.

Dr. Blaze is amazing! He cares about his patients and always tries to solve their eyesight issues. I have severe keratoconus in both eyes have seen several other doctors. No one could fit me properly. Dr. Blaze exhausted all avenues to find a solution for me. So far we are a work in progress.
Jesse and Ramil as well as other people who work in the office are extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
I wouldn’t use anyone else as I have the utmost faith in Dr. Blaze and his staff.

This place suffers because of the staff. I have never visited any medical facility anywhere with such poor staff. The two desk women are so rude and unhelpful it’s amazing they were able to find even this meager level of employment. They are either unwilling, or unable to provide even a basic level of service without an awful attitude. Dr. Blaze is fine but he could pick two random people off the street and surely they would improve the level of service his desk workers are capable of providing.

Dr. Blaze is great however; Leslie in his office should find another profession. Apparently calling a prescription into a 2^nd pharmacy when the 1^st pharmacy couldn’t get the medication is going way beyond what she will do for a patient. She was more than happy to hang up after bring told they are going to lose a patient. As she stated, they have «exhausted all their resources»…wow…pretty low on resources there Leslie.

Dr. Blaze is awesome. I have the most difficult eyes… Let’s just say two cornea transplants, so «regular eye doctors» just won’t do. Believe me, I’ve tried them all. Dr. Blaze is pricey, but trust me, you’ll have the best prescription possible and walk out yelling, «I can see!» like I did. And, like me, you might cry a little bit because you found Dr. Blaze. And, the cherry on top… he surfs.

Dr. Blaze has taken care of my RK’d eyes for over 20 years. I couldn’t be more pleased. He remains passionate about taking care of eyes and he always knows the latest research, the best doctors to complement his services, and he takes his time.
And, he surfs.

This place is OK. I went onto Unilocal before seeing Dr. Blaze and noticed a few negative comments and now they’re all mysteriously gone. I felt very rushed there and I hated seeing 3 people before I actually saw the doctor. The office is very small and outdated. Dr. Blaze was also very rushed and hurried me out the door. He also treats his staff like minions and they remain at bay until he beckons. Needless to say, I received OK service, but I probably won’t return.

The employees are rude and push you out quickly. You can do better for your money.

I special thank you to Dr. Blaze and his entire staff. We were new to the area and were in search of a new eye doctor. My wife daughter and myself all wear glasses. They have amazing customer service, great selection in frames and most important are extremely helpful. I recommend this office to anyone! Keep up the great work!

I have been a patient of Dr Blaze for over a decade and he and his team have done an excellent job of caring for my vision issues.

This place is great! All of the people here are extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Blaze has a great practice here and I’m so thankful for their help with my vision! I can see! Also, the visits are always fast and efficient!

Dr. Blaze is very intelligent and knows his stuff better than many optometrists and even ophthalmologists. He and his staff are wonderful and are excellent at what they do. He is a cornea specialist and contact lense specialist and even makes custom lenses for patients on the second floor of his office. We have worked with Dr. Blaze for quite a while and do not hesitate to send even the most difficult patients his way.

I can SEE!!! So happy with Dr. Blaze! First time there after years of being referred by friends and family, I finally decided that crappy eye exams from my previous HMO and squinting weren’t really working for me… I have wrinkles from squinting (talk about the last straw!)! So I schlepped on over and had one of the best comprehensive eye exams ever. Now I really wanted contacts but with my astigmatism and extra dry tear ducts (WTF???) contacts weren’t in my future (plus my vision isn’t that bad… just not at night while driving or reading or far distances… wait…maybe I can’t see?) so I don’t have to wear contacts/​glasses all the time. Dr. Blaze is known (by who I don’t know but just is) for being able to fit people for contacts and since he couldn’t fit me I have given up. So instead I just got a stylin’ pair of glasses. Of course I wound up with one of the most expensive frames in the place. How does that always seem to be the case? They gave me like a million (really about 20) frames to try on and the one that I liked the best was the most expensive… typical! But whatever… they are cute and when I wear them I look ‘extra’ smart ;-p
