Saint Petersburg Eye Care Specialists-SPECS

Saint Petersburg Eye Care Specialists-SPECS Family owned eyecare office offering complete eye exams, contact lens fittings and
actual designer Petersburg. In 1966 Dr Marantz began working for Dr Benjamin.

We are a family owned and operated practice with a long history in the city of St. The practice was started back in the 1940’s by Dr Philip Benjamin, a pillar in the community. Dr Benjamin was a huge proponent for education and equal rights for all. His legacy is still felt throughout the office as many of his patients continue to visit us for their eye care needs. From that time until he took the practice over in 1982, Dr Marantz considered Dr Benjamin his mentor. For over forty years Dr Marantz took pride in taking care of his patients including being the official Tampa Bay Rays eye doctor during that time. Dr Marantz took what Dr Benjamin started and made it his own. Over the years he has had various associates working along side him and in 2012 an eager young optometrist, Dr Tara Camargo walked into his office to discuss potential employment. After a short discussion she began working for him a couple weeks later. Over time she began to realize that this practice was exactly what she was looking for and he began to realize that she would make the perfect successor. The transition was made simple by the fact that Dr Marantz and Dr Camargo share many of the same ethics and ideas when it comes to proper patient care.

We’re excited to introduce our brand new 20-foot mobile vision clinic, built to bring free eye exams and glasses directly to local students and veterans.
This mobile clinic is fully equipped with state-of-the art equipment all powered by the support of our community. 💙💚
At the Moxy Vision Program, we believe every child and veteran deserves clear vision and the chance to succeed. With the launch of our first trailer, we’re one step closer to making that dream a reality. We’ll be visiting schools, community events, and veteran centers across Pinellas County.
Every exam, every pair of glasses, and every smile is made possible through donors, sponsors, and partners who believe in our mission.

A special dinner with the three amazing ladies who always hold the fort down when I’m away. After my recent health scare, I’ve realized even more how much I appreciate everything they do. Grateful for their continued support!

Stopped by the office today for the first time since surgery. I figured I would share with my extended SPECS family and those that have kindly reached out. It was great to see some of our amazing team after a few weeks away and to show that I'm on the mend. We kept things quiet, but about two months ago, I went in for some long overdue blood work. Maybe 5 years. That led to a series of tests and a life changing discovery: I had severe genetic atherosclerosis. I had no symptoms, felt totally fine, and yet the only way to avoid a massive heart attack, that could be imminent was to have quintuple bypass surgery. (Over achiever) On June 23rd, I walked into the hospital not knowing what to expect, just praying for the best. Being a husband, a dad, a friend and serving my community have been the most meaningful parts of my life, so the choice to fight for my health was an easy one. I'm now healing and hope to be back in the office in a few weeks. I'm not a preacher, but let me say this: put your health first. I thought I was and still, this blindsided me. If you're overdue for a checkup, don't wait.
