We have been looking for an eye doctor for about 5 years. Have tried 3 or 4 eye doctors and we were not happy at all. Dr. Nota is OUTSTANDING! He figured out the problems my wife was having that no one else could figure out. Office staff really friendly and professional.

This eye doctor is awesome! He was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. He talked thought out my whole visit and I love that. My last eye doctor was all about business not costumes. The girls that work at the front desk were great as well. Talked to us while we were waiting, made sure I had everything I needed, and had great smiles. I recently picked up my glasses and was told there was a confusion with my total and that I was getting back some money because I was charged a little extra. I love the hospitality and honesty. I would definitely be recommending this place!!!

I had gone to San Clemente Optometry for many years and was very pleased with the amount of time Dr. Nota spent with me and my new glasses were always perfect. A friend told me I should go to the optometrist at Costco and save money. What a huge mistake! They take one quick test to determine your eyesight. After I spent over $ 250 for a new prescription and frames, my vision was so blurry so after several weeks of frustration as I am a prolific reader and couldn’t stay focused, I went back to the Costco optometrist. She told me that I had to get use to the new lens as they had a greater depth and I needed to hold what I reading at a different level! Really? I called San Clemente Optometry and Dr. Nota saw me immediately. It is amazing the time he spent and the different ways he used to test my vision. Although the price was higher, the quality and professionalism of Dr. Nota and the office staff were exceptional! I would highly recommend this outstanding optometrist!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Nota’s for two years now and I’m always pleased with him and the entire office! Dr. Nota really takes the time to examine your eyes and explain what is happening. The office staff are great too, and it’s always easy to get an appointment. Their glasses and sunglasses are much more reasonable than I would have expected being a boutique optometrist office. Highly recommend!

After a few bad experiences with bargain optometrists (Target and LensCrafters) I called Dr. Nota based on the other great Unilocal reviews — I was able to schedule an appointment and see the doctor within a few days for a contact fitting. Since I don’t have vision insurance I was nervous for the expense but it was actually fairly priced (just under $ 200) when you consider everything that’s included (fitting, trial lenses, follow-​up appointment, etc.). I was especially grateful for the follow-​up since I wasn’t comfortable with my first pair so he gave me new ones to try and adjusted my prescription at no additional cost!

Dr. Nota & his office are consistently excellent in their service. I found him many years ago when I lived in San Clemente. I now live in Los Angeles but still make the drive down to be seen by him. Absolutely worth it.

I loved them! The staff is great and Dr. Nota is awesome :) He worked with me to get the best prescription for my vision. Other doctors I’ve seen have never taken the time that he did. I will refer anyone who needs an exam to this offce!

If you live in South Orange County and are looking for an eye doctor, look no further! Dr. Nota and his wonderful staff are the ticket! Fast, friendly service, great glasses frames selection and always free parking right in front! I’ve been going to this office for decades and even though I don’t live right in San Clemente, I love the excuse to go down there. So beautiful and quaint with plenty of healthy eateries nearby.

My first visit with Dr. David Nota was wonderful, such patient man, he was able to explain things that I couldn’t understand to be comprehensive. The receptionists were just as wonderful as him. My overall experience was great from the customer service and my health service. I would recommend him to anyone. Great job.

Great location and good selection of name brand glasses. Staff was very friendly and made it easy to make an appointment. They even remembered me a year later to remind me of my need for a re-​exam. Prices are VERY reasonable– I like how they have an upfront cost of frames and lens (unlike lens crafters, that advertise one price and you end up payer 200 $ more than expected). Highly recommend San Clemente Optometry :)

Dr. Nota and his whole staff went above and beyond to help me in an emergency on a late Friday afternoon! They are professional, courteous and the atmosphere is very comfortable. Dr. Nota took his time with me and explained everything in detail. I could not be happier with the care I received. Definitely recommend!!! A+++

The staff is VERY helpful. Dr. Nota is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. He honestly answers all questions that I have and is very knowledgable with current day technologies. I’m really comfortable coming to this office, and they will have my business as long as I live in the area. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great optometrist.

Dr. Nota is such a kind, knowledgable doctor. He takes the time to thoroughly evaluate your eyes and assess your needs. The office staff is friendly and helpful, as well. When my contact lenses were ordered, they were in the next day and I received both an email and a personal call — now THAT’S service! I would highly recommend Dr. Nota!

Really nice people. Way overpriced. Beware!!! My glasses were $ 800.00 at this office and I went and got another pair but with polarized lens and paid $ 360.00 less. I don’t mind paying for good service but this was a screw job.
Would never go back.

Dr. Nota is professional and friendly. He actually spends time with you on your visit and you don’t feel like you are being rushed in and out. His office staff is wonderful as well. It’s a nice feeling when they remember you and your name even if you are only there once a year…

I amreally happy with this office. They have evening appointments which is really convenient. They also email you the new patient forms to save you time when you come into the office. When I got there I only had to wait for the doctor for a couple short minutes until I saw the doctor. I hate it when I go somewhere with an appt and then wait 15 minutes before seeing the doctor. This was not the case at all. Doctor did a thourough exam and listened to what I wanted and thought about my changes in my vision. He was personable and easy to talk to. I will definately go back again next year and recommend to my friends!

Since Unilocal helps us to make better choices, here is your chance to get great service and eyecare! Dr. Nota is the best, a really caring doctor that is not in a rush and takes the time to explain the procedures he is performing and answers any questions you may have. His equipment is up to date with the latest technology, he really cares. I really feel comfortable in this office the staff is awesome everyone here has a great sense of humor and they make you feel like family. I was in the area and needed an adjustment on my glasses, no problem at all they welcomed me and took care of my glasses immediatly. I recommed them to everyone!
