Dr. Strout is very professional. He combines patient understanding with the best needed care. I’ve been his patient for almost a decade and trust my eyes to him.

Awesome care and service!

Dr. Darlington is very thorough with the service that he provides to his clients. I appreciate the support and staff.

Took my 96 yr old dad in for a sty in his eye.Dr Straut was different this time. He was Nice. He Joked.He didn't have the assistant on edge as he didn't snap orders this time. He interacted.We were surprised.Dads Irish and relaxed.Loves people.Retired NY city Iron worker.Retirerd Army Major.We were uptight last 2 visits as Eric was way past tense each time.We like him now. Thumbs up he's evolved.

My visit and checkup with Dr. Straut are always pleasant and reassuring. He is truly committed to his patients. He goes to great lengths to explain the results of test and and answers any questions or concerns you may have. I feel very fortunate that he is our Doctor.

Very good.

Dr. Straut is truly a compassionate person and a great doctor.

Big improvement in moving patients through the process of testing and visit with the Dr. Thank you. Staff are all very courteous and friendly.

I love Dr. Straut, he was a very efficient and he answers all my questions and he lets me know that everything is going OK or if I might need to see a specialist, he is right on top of it!

Good visit

Dr. Straut is very thorough, explains everything very well and answers any questions I may have. He never seems to be in a rush to get the patients in and out. All the staff are very polite and courteous. Always an excellent experience.

Dr. Darlington is very thorough and explains everything. The office personnel are very professional and helpful.

Awesome , everything smoothly great service

I had a wonderful experience for the first eye surgery.

He is the most compassionate doctor ever! Highly recommend!

Very good.

Very thorough and explains everything so that I can understand

Dr. Mandese is exceptionally knowledgeable and caring. He takes his time, explains everything you need to know and provides resolutions to assist you in living life with both clear perspectives and vision. He is the only eye doctor that I trust with my vision.

I've never had this surgery before, and hopefully this is it. I'm seeing better than I have in 15 years. DR Darlington, his whole staff and Dr. Cowling(refereal) are the best in merritt island. Kathy Parsons

Dr Straut is extremely professional as well as friendly. He always has good suggestions for me in handling my medical issues

We have been patients of Dr. Mandese for several years. He recommended cataract surgery for me and I am pleased with the results.

I’m impressed by Dr. Straut at every visit. His knowledge and approach to eye care has kept my diabetic eyes healthy and strong.

Dr Mandese continues to monitor my eye concerns and always feel he makes time to explain and address my concerns. Definitely refer him to friends

I’ve been with Dr. Mandese for almost 3 years, he’s extremely knowledgeable and helpful!

Dr Straut Is very friendly, knowledgeable and explains everything. I appreciate those qualities in a physician.

I’m visiting the area and I woke up with something in my eye. Atlantic Eye Consultants got me in that day and Dr. Straut was able to get whatever was in my eye out.

The surgical procedure was quite streamlined the nurses were informative about what was to happen. They were professional and concerned with my care. While I was told I would not be totally under anesthesia, I didn’t remember the actual surgery. The next thing I realized I was asked to get up after a clear eye protector was taped over my eye. The procedure was quick and painless.

Everything was fine with all the data gathering and the folks who did it were well organized and knowledgeable. My only negative comment concerns this physical I need to undergo n Friday morning. I just had my annual physical with Dr. Ireland on Friday 1/9 with excellent results. This Friday session seems like a waste of time and money.

Dr. Mandese and his staff were very professional and thorough. Everything was explained in detail .

It was very good all people that work there are great

Very satisfied with all the attention given to me

Staff was nice. Dr was efficient and pleasant

The staff was courteous and professional.

Dr Stroud and Dr Darlington or miracle workers to me. May I say was very very poor to the point I couldn't have my driver's license they did surgery and I can see it's amazing like I've never seen at all in my entire life. Would recommend them to anybody they are caring and explain everything to you in language you can understand. Thank you both for being the doctor's you are

Doctor and staff very courteous. Doctor Straut takes time to discuss Different options

Always a good experience. The receptionists and technicians are friendly, professional & knowledgeable

Dr. Darlington and his staff are a professional group of individuals willing to be with the patient as little as possible. The time spent with the patient is a minimum at best. Knowing that the hand of the staff member is with you and on the door knob trying to leave as quickly as possible is very uncomfortable for the patient and I assume this is the policy of the office so mentioning this lack of empathy for the patient care is also a matter of policy for the office. I will continue to be a patient , once a year is not hurtful.

Dr Darlington knew my eye issues before he walked into my room. That tells me all his patients are important to him. His staff is polite, thorough and helpful.

Doctor and all personnel very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Job well done, with limited waiting time.

Great place. Qualified an efficient office and service. Doctor Struth is Qualified and good at what he does I recommend highly.

Extremely good care. I’ve been treated with excellent care each and every time I go there.

very informative and efficient service

This office runs like a well oiled machine. The staff is great. Dr. Darlington is great.

Dr. Eric Straut was very professional and very thorough, but I don’t like waiting an hour and a half past my scheduled appointment.

Very thorough and complete exam. Nice vibe with the office staff!

Dr. Straut gives a complete and direct explanation - and completely answers questions. A keeper!!!!

Excellent doctor explains all concerns and procedures does not rush out of room.

dr. darlington is the best! very knowledgeable and skilled, top job on my cataract surgery!

The Dr is personal and very professional. He definitely has all the experience and knowledge to handle any situation with exacting abilities. Definitely one of the best in the area.

The experience was painless and everyone involved were kind and professional.

Satisfied with personal and Dr Straut,long wait as usual but that’s just how it is.Dr.Straut answered questions too be easily understood.Pleasant experience!

Dr. Mandese is an excellent doctor. I have been going to him for around 20 years. The eye doctor before him found something in my eye and had no idea what it was. So I was very concerned and changed Eye Doctor and went to Dr. Mandese and he found out it was a freckle. I felt so much better and has been going to him ever since. I trust him with h my eyes one hundred percent!

Very affable eye doctor. Efficient staff.\nAnd pleasant experienc.

They were very nice and they all seem to know what they were doing

Dr Straut knows my chart history completely. Takes the time to go over current findings and discusses options. He is always courteous.

Friendly,professional and caring!

Excellent experience, everyone is always very polite

Practical, friendly, efficient.

I was seen quickly which was very helpful since it was one day post surgery. All my questions were answered and I was relieved.

Very kind and thorough.

I like him as a Dr. he always seems to get it right

Appreciate Dr Straut’s skills & professionalism. However a wait of 2 hours after scheduled appointment is excessive. No explanation or acknowledgment of wait is even more disturbing.

My eye health is much better since I have had the care of Dr Mandese,

Professional and smart!!!

Dr Mandese is absolutely amazing. He is very thorough and professional. I will refer everyone I know to him as an eye doctor. His staff is very professional and caring.

In and out in under an hour. Dr Darlington answered questions and spent plenty of time checking my eyes. I have been with him for 5 years.

Timely and friendly. Everyone was very personable and professional. I very much recommend this business.

Dr. Straut was attentive and listened to my concerns.

Everyone was very nice and professional

Good experience

Love this Dr and the staff here he answered all my questions and put me at ease and made a much needed referral I highly recommend this office

Always a good visit, need to know how my Glaucoma is being controlled at all times and he is my go to Doctor. So important to to see at every visit. Thanks, Marie.

Your office is always late. This time only 20 minutes - an improvement! Dr Straut and all his assistants are great.

Hospitable staff

Dr Straut is thorough, orders tests to detect vision issues caused by glaucoma

The entire team was professional and effective.

The Doctor and staff and the Cataract Surgery was amazing. The care and professionalism of the staff was outstanding. The follow up was the same. You will not find a better group of medical professionals in this field.

Good visit as usual. Staff is friendly and does a very good job with the preliminary information collecting and reviewing information on file. Dr. Straut is very knowledgable and thorough with his exams. He remembers previous results and always gives good advice for any issues or concerns.

Dr.Straut is always very thorough and very nice. His staff is great too!!

He is the best, this group of doctors has saved my eye slight Can’t praise them enough . The staff is wonderful

Dr. Darlington is very willing to take time to answer questions and to check the eyes if you have a concern. He did these things for me and then we proceeded for the reason I had an appointment.

I really appreciate Dr Strout and the staff. However the wait is the only negative thing. Well over 2 1/2 hours for an eye exam is ridiculous. I changed to early appointments and today was way too long.

Dr. Mandese is very informative.

Great staff always make you feel comfortable. Willing to answer questions. Very professional and friendly. Love Dr. Straut. Ms. Dolores Whiteford

Excellent Dr & friendly, efficient staff.

Great

Great

Excelente

Very friendly, professional office staff. Dr. Mandese always takes time to explain and answer all of the questions asked and very detailed in his diagnoses and plan of care.

My experience with the staff, service and facility at Atlantic Eye in Melbourne was perfect.

I’ve had two surgeries done by Dr. Darlington, and I must say that everything went very well throughout both procedures. The entire staff and he were very professional and helpful. We’re marching on and continuing to progress.

Dr Straut provides excellent care and always very pleasant.

Office staff is kind and very organized! Appointment time truly means appointment time! Dr. Straut answers all my questions and concerns. My husband took me to my last appointment and was truly impressed. He said they were like an army of ants! Thank you Dr. Straut and staff for your care and kindness!

Was referred to Atlantic Eye Consultants with several eye concerns. I was impressed by everyone there the customer service and doctor’s explanations. I will definitely go back here.

Fast attention to detail

Everyone from helpers to the doctor himself were excellent in courtesy, experience and expertise. I highly recommend this doctor and his associates.

Excelente, very profesional and kind

Another great visit, my eyes are in great care every appointment is precise and thorough. I have been a patient of Dr Mandese for many years, I highly recommend Atlantic Eye Consultants

Dr. Straut not only provides excellent care but he also listens to his patients; questions uncertainty but does it with a great skill of professionalism. The Doctor will ensure you understand what his concerns are; provides you with direction when the issues are outside of his scope of practice. Additionally, he will provide an explanation if you're uncertain what he stated in a very professional manner with a topping of concern. I would/do recommend him to other people.

excellent , thorough and highly professional---thank you!

Excellent care all around

Was sent to investigate the cause of my double vision. Dr. was very good explaining the possible causes and what steps to take going forward. Felt like he was very knowledgeable and a good people person.

I was very impressed with Dr. Darlington. He kept me well infor.ed on what he was planning to do with my eyelids. His supporting staff was wonderful. They took care of me well and post operation. I recommend Dr. Darlington and the Atlantic Eye clinic.

I’n on time and quickly screened and then seen by the Doctor. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Everyone was very good to me and I will encourage the same

Felt at ease happy very professional

Excellent Friendly professional Great surgeon A plus made me frel

Dr. Straut was excellent with my 8 year old. The information provided to us as new patients to the practice was honest and helpful and science/evidence-based. We felt confident with our plan for her strabismus/amblyopia. The office staff was kind and assistants were very knowledgeable. Eye drops are always difficult with children and we have experienced our fair share over the years. The staff was so aware of the struggles and made it very easy for our child. It was actually a Very warm appointment and I don’t think my child or myself will dread the next annual visit like we have elsewhere.

Excellent. Pain free. All staff members were wonderful. Everything was done right on time with no waiting. Facility was extremely clean. I was very well treated by everyone. It was a pleasant experience. Thanks to all involved!!

Always pleased w Dr straut

First time at this facility and will make this my permenant eye center

Everyone have great attitudes and easy to deal with

Outstanding

Dr, Straut is very knowledgeable and is very conscientious. I am on a medication that requires a visit every 6 months. He makes sure to do all the tests, and send the results to my rheumatologist in a timely manner All this, while being very personsable and willing to take the time to answer my questions

Dr Straut goes above and beyond. His office staff is very friendly and quick. Scheduling is completed very well organized.

I love Dr Mandese. He’s very kind and communicates well. He and his assistant, Isabel work well together.

Very attentive to my needs

I am always pleased with the professional care and information I receive on my annual visits. Dr Straut is outstanding and the support personnel is top notch.

Very thorough exam. Explained and answered my questions. Very personable and professional. I definitely would recommend Dr. Michael Mandese to my family and friends.

Dr. Straut was very pleasant, took the time to explain his diagnosis of blepharitis in both my eyes and treatment. He also let me know Atlantic Eye has 2 retina specialists available several days of the week if needed to treat the MD in both eyes. I made an appointment with one of them. Everyone at the facility was very efficient and pleasant.

Focused knowledgeable excellent care.

Thorough and good communication. Dr. Straut is very nice.

The surgery went well however for my 6-month follow-up appointment on the 26th of December at 8:25 I went to the doctor's office and there was nobody there

All of my questions were answered with care and professionalism by Dr Mandese, The optical technician was excellent in explaining the examinations.

Explained the procedure in a way that was easy to understand. Left the appointment very confident I had made the right decision concerning Dr. Darlington

Went to your office Dec. 24th, the doors were locked & no one was there. They had even sent me a reminder for my date & time & confirmed my appointment. What happened? December 24 th 1:05 PM. Gloria Melanie Bomhard

The staff is helpful, clear in describing what they are doing, and patient when I cannot decide which screen is better. Dr. Strait is always clear about my eyes, the condition of my lenses, and what can be done in the future if they get worse. Although the office was busy because two doctors were there, I still got out quickly.

Very impressed with the professionalism and kindness shown in Dr. Darlington's practice.

everyone was very professional and courteous. all of my questions were answered

Efficient and personable

As always your practice is A1

Went for yearly eye check up and also to get the upper eye plugs put in. Eye exam was very thorough. Staff is very patient and helpful. Dr. Mandese listens to any concerns and provides guidance.

why

He was thorough, precise, engaging, and provided information that is very much appreciated.

very thorough and what a great doc.

Have one eye done. Excellent in ALL areas. VERY pleased.

I was very pleased with the results of the cataract surgery on my right eye. I now have perfect distance vision without glasses.

The entire organization is a breath of fresh air. Pleasent, personable and professional. As a business owner I found inspiration that the Atlantic Eye Consultants were as customer centered as we have strived for so many many years. Great job guys. Merry Christmas Doug Smith

Awesome Dr

Dr. Strait is very kind, personable, and knowledgeable. I’m very glad that he is with the group that he’s in now. During an appointment you have his total attention.

Always excellence. great staff up to date technology experienced staff and best of all Dr. Straut

The Dr. Was very professional and knowledgeable. Made me feel very comfortable and even giving me bad news he was very professional

Dr. Darlington performed cataract then goniotomy surgery on my left eye. The surgeries went perfectly, probably due to his 30,000+ eye surgeries worth of experience! Post surgery I had the normal annoying feeling of an eye lash being stuck, which only lasted a few hours. Then the blurriness started to go away and I could focus on distant objects and even read text before within 8 hours of the surgeries. The next day he examined my eye and everything looked and felt okay. The blurriness continued to disappear and more objects became clearer. I think that Brevard County is fortunate to have such an experienced eye specialist and surgeon available.

On time, professional and Dr Surgeon does GREAT work !

Extra help is needed at the front desk. Too many patients waiting to checkin and out.

Caring, courteous, and I was very pleased with everything I would recommend Dr. Darlington he’s at three different offices and he gives terrific care. Thank you.

Everything went as Planned. Courteous and Professional Staff throughout.

Dr. Straut is awesome!

Dr Mandese is a wonderful doctor, in every way. I would highly recommend him. Also his assistant, Stephanie, is also wonderful. She is knowledgeable, efficient and empathetic.

Great

Helpful, knowledgeable, and truly caring. Highly recommend.

Everyone was good. The first young lady that gave me the eye exam was extra good and friendly. She had kind of a Indian name. Nigel, maybe. What was it?

Excellent Doctor

Very thorough testing. Professional care.

Dr Mandese has been treating my chronic dry eye with plug for years. Him and his staff are very professional, caring, and listen. I appreciate having him as one of my eye physicians.

Dr. Straut is very courteous, professional and explains things very well. He is a good listener. He provided me with a very comprehensive and informative description of my condition and made a detailed set of recommendations for me to follow. I highly recommend him.

Excellent service and everyone is so nice!

Dr "D" is extremely thorough with my eye exams. Dr "D" saved my eye after a botched cataract surgery by another Dr. I've been with Dr "D" for 10 yrs now. He first saw me on a Sunday after the botched surgery. Thank you Dr. Darlington and the Eye Institute / Atlantic Eye group ! !

Excellent result on my eye lids surgery. Totally satisfied. Thank you.

Always happy with quality of service

very good , I recommend Dr. Darlington to anyone who needs an eye Dr.

My experience with Dr. Darlington was not the best. He spent almost no time with me as a patient prior to the procedure and after. I left like a number as opposed to being a patient. My cataract sugery was on 9/23/25 my vision in the left eye has since deteriorated and will know probably require glasses to read small print. I am also experiencing pain in the eye which i never had before. It was only after the surgery that Dr. Darlington explained that i may have macular issues/degeneration and will not be able to have the 20/20 vision. So now i was referred to a Retina specialist who diagnosed it as as macular psuedohole and subsequentlly referred me to an optometrist to get tested for glasses. The optometrist has now put me on Prednisolone eye drops beause the eye was inflamed . The journey continues as i have to go back in to determine what glasses would work best for me.

Very good

Dr. Straut is beyond excellent in all facets required by the patient. His expertise and professionalism has the rare quality of being “user friendly” . His staff follows his lead with a smile.

Great Dr & Staff Understanding & patience with elderly patients

All went smoothly.

I love going to see Dr Mandese! He is always warm and caring. And above all, he’s a wonderful opthamologist!!!

Great, very professional and friendly staff

Excellent

Great Dr & staff!

Slam packed parking lot and waiting room. I was there 2 1/2 hours. Once I got in to see the doctor he and the assistant apologized for the long wait and were very efficient. I’m going back in 6 weeks so I guess we’ll see?

Always pleasant and ready to answer all my questions and concerns.

I have been patient at Dr. Darlington for some years now. He and the staff are very warm and welcoming. The level of professionalism is outstanding you’ll know you’re in safe hands if you decide to become a patient at Atlantic Eye.

My eyes are very to me, that’s why I have Dr Mandese, his exams are thorough. His office staff are always polite and friendly, plus you don’t wait in the office for a long period.

Jerry had a very good appointment and had all his questions answered. Good results with medication prescribed!!! Thank you!!

I have never been in a Doctors office like this one. It runs like a well oiled machine. Dr Darlington is great. He gets an A++ and so does his staff. If you are looking for a great doctor this is the place for you

Very happy with the doctor just not the 2 1/2 hours from the time I arrived until I left

Very good doctor and a joy to visit.

He has satisfied me with his honesty and making sure I understand everything about what is going on with my eyes.

Had an issue with my eye. Called Dr. Mandese’s office. They booked an appointment immediately, and I was seen within a few hours. After a careful exam they booked a next day appointment with a Retina Specialist for me to rule out any issue. Hoping for the best. Appreciate the immediate attention, thorough exam and follow up! I felt the care and concern of the entire office.

Always a good experience although the tests were quite tiring for me an 87 year old. He is very personable and his staff are all pleasant to work with.

The best eye Doctor in the county.

Examination was very thorough and everything was well explained.

Explained the upcoming procedure and answered my questions. Very professional and caring!

Very knowledgeable and efficient. Personalized discussion of all issues.

Dr Straut is professional and always available to answer any questions.

Front staff was cordial and professional. Technician that checked my eyes in preparation for meeting with Dr. Straut was not welcoming and not very personable. (After waiting to see Dr. Straut for 40 minutes, it would have been nice for this encounter to be friendly, yet professional). LUV Dr. Straut and the assistant he had in the room with him at the time of his exam.

GOT THERE AND LOBBY WAS PACKED BUT ONCE CHECKED IN EXAM WENT QUICKLY AND TREATMENT HE SUGGESTED MONTHS EARLIER HE SAID WAS DOING GREAT AND SAID FOLLOW UP IN 3 MONTHS AND SEE HOW IT ( RX ) IS STILL WORKING AND THEN COMPARE THEM AND GO FROM THERE DR. STRAUT IS VERY CORDIAL AND EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN DETAL ABOUT YOUR EXAM RESULTS.

I found it a very good experience from the reception from the front desk to meeting Dr. Darlington and his assistant and getting a medical drug treatment that hopefully will resolve my eye issue!

The staff is very pleasant and professional. I have been seeing Dr. Straut for years. Always pleasant and takes time to explain things.

Dr Mandese was thorough, empathetic and explained his findings clearly. I was very pleased with his approach and council.

Great serve is great experience. Very professional

Very professional and knowledgeable optometrist. Would highly recommend. My only complaint is the wait time in the outer office before seeing him.

Everything went exactly as Dr. Darlington and his team explained.

Everything went well, through exams with all hands knowledgeable and polite.

Dr and staff were awesome

Dr Darlington & team are tip-top, professionals, courteous. I’m halfway through cataract treatment and entirely satisfied so far.

Exam thorough . Staff very helpful and friendly

My appointment with Dr. Mandese was excellent. He is very compassionate and patient. Last year in July 2024 I had an issue with my right eye. Dr. Mandese authorized a CT scan to review so as to be sure there wasn't any out side issues that may have caused the problem. When I visited with him to review the information he told me that my vision was fine however he identified an aneurysm that I didn't know existed. Because of Dr Madese's keen eye my life was saved, 3 months later a 9+ mm and growing was repaired. So Dr. Mandese has my complete respect. He saved my life.

Super outstanding care.

Every time went fine.

Quick nice and a total pleasure

They got me in the day after I called with an eye injury. Dr Straut did all the testing necessary. He explained what the damage was, how it would heal, and that it would heal! A follow up appt on a week. I've been a patient for at least 15 yrs and never a disappointment.

Excellent

My appointment with Dr. Straut was great as usual. He always answers my questions, and I value his medical opinion. He informs me of anything new with my eyes, and makes suggestions without any pressure. He also takes time to explain things when I need clarification. Thank you Dr. Straut.

Dr. Darlington is a very compassionate, understanding eye surgeon. I have already had 1 cataract done and am about to have a second one. I wouldn't have any other surgeon work on my eyes. He's the best.

The staff was Professional. Dr has great bed side manners, and very thorough. Would highly recommend.

Dr Darlington and staff are great. So great that unfortunately the wait times are far too long. Otherwise five stars. I was there on a Wednesday so maybe a different day would be better.

Excellent

Very good

Always excellent professional, and knowledgeable

Dr.Darlington is a compationate Dr. He is very thorough, he explains things to you where you can understand him. I would recommend him to anyone, the staff is wonderful as well.

polite and professional and answered all my questions.

Dr. Mandese is the best! After spending over a week in the hospital suffering from excruciating headaches, double vision, and a lazy eye, I was discharged with no diagnosis. My wife had the good sense to make an appointment for me with Dr. Mandese. We actually went to his office right from the hospital. Dr. Mandese took one look at me, turned to my wife, and said that he knew exactly what was going on. However, he still took the time to do a full exam before he shared his prognosis. He is thorough, patient, and takes the time to answer all your questions. Even the "silly" ones. We left feeling hopeful, well taken care of, and with a treatment plan. I can't thank him enough.

Smooth first visit. Organized and efficient.

Great office well run

Absolutely the best. Staff and Dr. Straut are courteous plus professional.

Dr Straut and his staff are wonderful. They explain each procedure to you so you know what is going to be done. Always very kind and I never feel rushed.

Dr. Straut was excellent, very professional, courteous, detailed, caring, asked a lot of questions, and educated me about my diagnosis. I highly recommend him! The office staff at the front desk got me right in. Very nice. One of the first technicians who took me back could use some help with her patient care and direction as she was not patient nor professional in explaining what she needed me to do as a first timer there. She must have been having a bad day. All in all, Excellent! Thank you!

The staff were all very friendly, and Dr. Mandese was very thorough.

Always friendly and listen to you and explains. Most of the staff is friendly and the girls on the front desk great you with a smile.

Wonderful thank you

Personable, thorough, an all round pleasure..

Short waiting time and excellent care.

PROFESSIONAL, POLITE & VERY WELCOMING!!!

The office staff is efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. But best of all is Dr. Darlington. Although a doctor of few words, he is an expert at his craft. Very talented and quick. I had lenses installed a few months ago. I wouldn't recommend any other. If you need an ophthalmologist stop searching. You found the best.

Dr Mandese is polite and very professional

It’s always a pleasant experience going to Dr . Mandese. The office staff are friendly and efficient. We never have to wait very long and they are always helpful. Highly recommend this practice!

I sincerely appreciate the outstanding care he and his team provide.

The girl who examine my eyes was very good because she told me everything she was going to do and explain things thoroughly. The doctor was also good as he explained things as well. So I was very impressed. Thank you.

Friendly and efficient staff Full attention from Dr. Mandese is always appreciated.

I was disappointed that it took 45 minutes after my scheduled appointed time to begin my appointment. This is unacceptable. Too many people are being scheduled at the same time to see Dr. Darlington. This practice is being run like an out-of-control assemby line.

My experience from my visit was very pleasant. The whole staff was nice helpful and Dr Straut

I had lenses replaced in both the left and right eye. Dr. Darlington and his staff were wonderful to work with. From the front desk, through the surgery and follow up appointments everything was very professional. The staff always friendly and professional, and Dr. Darlington always listened and answered any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend him for any eye care needs.

Excellent

Always friendly and professional.

Service was wonderful

EXCEPTIONAL STAFF, AND DR DARLINGTON IS A EXCEPTIONAL EYE SPECIALIST

This was my initial appointment with Dr Darlington since being referred to him to treat my eye conditions. From the minute I walked into the office the entire staff and technicians were extremely professional, courteous and knowledgeable. After getting the initial eye tests completed by the different technicians, I was seen by Dr Darlington. He explained what eye surgery needed to be done to treat my condition and answered all questions I had. I was very pleased with all aspects of my appointment. Afterwards, I met with the surgery scheduling staff person who easily took care of future appointments.

Very patient, professional and knowledgeable about Cornea transplants. I am very pleased having him as my eye specialist. I highly recommend him .

Real nice staff

It was great...not much of a wait,. the tech was very thorough and explained all that she was doing/finding. Dr Straut was very, very informative...it was a great appointment!

Best care anywhere.

Very friendly efficient office.Lastest equipment.Several tests were conducted,in a timely manner.

He is very thorough and courteous

Dr Darlington ‘s successful cataract surgery has provided me with 20-20 eye vision in both my eyes at my 6 month check - up today. The Dr. & staff provided 1st class experience for me. I recommend this practice as First Rate —-Geraldine M Butke

Very professional and friendly staff

Dr. Strauss was professional and helpful. He explained (in layman terms), what was going on with my vision and made me feel comfortable in the knowledge that he could and would correct the issues. His staff was very friendly and also very helpful. I would highly recommend his practice to anyone needing eye care.

Overall great service

Very pleasant experience. Staff knew exactly what they were doing. Dr. Mandeese was great as always.

Excellent service by all the staff. On time, friendly and efficient. Dr. Straut is very thorough and addresses all my concerns.

I am very happy with Dr. Straut and all of the employees at his practice.

Dr. Darlington was great! His staff is very nice and helpful. The appointments, the surgery and follow up's run like a well oiled machine. Nothing is left to chance. You know and understand what is involved in the surgery, what you have to do after the surgery plus the staff calls after surgery to see how you are feeling. I highly recommend Dr. Darlington and his staff!

He’s very good he’s very thorough explains everything and I’ve been going to him for I don’t know three or four years maybe even longer but I love the way he explains everything

I find the staff to be very friendly and supportive and Dr. Mandese excellent. He explains everything and listens to my questions and concerns.

Exam is very thorough and Dr. Mandese explains everything

Dr. Straut addressed all my concerns

The experience with Dr Darlington and his staff was very good

Very co.petent and compassionate. Staff pleasant a.nd helpful.

Dr. Mandese is a God sent. I have had a pen hole in each eye and each time I went in to be seen he was on target. For example, I woke up with a small circle of black and I called to let his office know, but they were closed and I gave the on call person what was happening and she relayed the message to the on call doctor who was Dr.Mandese and about thirty minutes later he called me back and told me to be in his office on Monday morning at eight clock. He is kind, understanding and does not make you feel like you’re a nuance. He definitely gets five stars from me.

On time; sensitive( accommodating and flexible to my needs!

Extremely satisfied with my visit ... the entire staff was polite and professional

Dr Mendez is a great Doctor and very knowledgeable. My husband and myself are very happy to have him as our ophthalmologist.

Dr Mandese is absolutely wonderful. I brought my wife and she even made an appt after watching him work on me. He is just so polite and professional with a good bedside manner. I wish all my doctors were his good.

Through and professional

Two hours for an eye examination is much too long.

Short waiting time and efficient review of my eye pressure.

i have been coming to this office for a long time DR Mandese has been my Eye doctor for many years his entire staff are total professionals

cataract surgery went very well eyes healing as Dr Darlington said; it’s great to see again thank you Dr Darlington you did an awesome job!!!

Dr Darlington is amazing and his staff at his Merritt Island location is amazing as well!!! I couldn't be more grateful!! I am not well, and I went in with an eye infection, and they got me in and out in fifteen minutes!!! So grateful for Dr. Darlington and his staff!

I needed a neuro eye exam (TBI). Dr. Mandese came highly recommended for this specialty by both an ophthalmologist and my physical therapist. I am so glad that I saw him. He was thorough, professional, and caring. Most importantly, Dr. Mandese correctly diagnosed my trauma-related vision issues and his treatment has significantly improved my quality of life.

Professional highly recommended

Very professional highly recommended

Dr. Mandese is a caring and competent Dr. His exam is thorough and unhurried. I don’t know how long I’ve been seeing him but I think my best guess of 15 years is not too far off the mark. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a an optometrist.

Very kind and thorough with my exam and explaining my condition.

He takes his time. He really listens. Explains things well.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Dr Darlington was very nice and explained everything thoroughly. Very impressed with the way he explained everything in detail. Overall, good experience.

An amazing, timely visit on 13 Nov! I was in and out in just over 1 hour with 2 eye exams & tests plus a thorough exam by Dr. Darlington. Refills requested and sent to my pharmacy same day. Thank each team member for a great visit.

Dr. Mandese and staff were very professional and demonstrated real concern for patients condition. Asking for relative and historical medical questions regarding patients current and family medical history. Thank you Dr. Mandese and Staff.

Amazing, in and out in just over 1 hour with 2 tests + doctor eye exam! Eye drops refills requested, and Hobbs had the order same day. Full disclosure: This has not always been my experience in the past, although always I've been happy with Dr. Darlington. Hopefully, it will be going forward.

After arriving for yearly eye exam was informed that Dr Straut was not in office and I had been notified the day before. However after checking my phone no call or voicemail had been received. Showed the woman at desk and she didn’t care and just said you’ll have to call and make another appointment! There was no acceptance of responsibility on the part of this office. Just a shrugged shoulder and annoyance on her part. I like Dr Straut and will return for his services but they really need to address office staff rudeness.

Everyone was very attentive getting all the tests conducted and Dr Darlington was very straightforward regarding results and I left very happy plus saw the Blue Origin launch. Thanks everyone.

They have the shortest wait times. Dr Mandese explains everything in a way that is easy to understand.

Outstanding, doctor, and person. Shows deep concern about patients.

Dr Straut is a keeper. He listens closely and really seems to care. I’m very pleased to have found him as my eye doctor.

Wonderful experience. Dr. Straut answered all my questions and encouraged me to continue what I was doing. I highly recommend him.

Impressed by the organization of the process and the friendly service by everyone

EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY, APPROACHABLE AND PROFESSIONA., INCLUDING DR. DARLINGTON HIMSELF.

Atlantic Eye Consultants have really improved their overall operation. When I arrived, the front desk is as efficient as ever. I only had to wait less than 5 minutes before my first test. Then was taken to the second test immediately afterwards. Had to wait for about 10 minutes before the final exam. Dr. D arrived about 2 minutes afterwards. Along the way, every technician did a thorough job of explaining what was happening. The communication process between patient and staff was the best I've experienced. Outstanding customer service communication and listening! Dr. D was as usual his awesome listener, evaluator and communicator. I'm confident in our plan going forward.

I have seen several doctors about my eyes and not until I seen Dr. Mandese, have I felt like I received a proper diagnosis. He provided answers to problems that stomped others and finally referred me to him. God had a hand in picking him for me because I feel like I was listened to and finally told what was wrong. If you have a choice on eye doctors, you will be so much better off seeing Dr. Mandese.

He is a wonderful Doctor , he does not like to spend any time with the patients !!!

The absolutely best eye surgeon in the state. Will take care of issues other eye surgeons say they can't.

Superb attention.

Very professional staff. Great new location. I'm very confident I received the best medical exam.

Dr.Straut listened to my concerns and diagnosed my issue.

professionals, quick and has a pleasant staff

Since day one that I vicited his office, I get in love with the staff and with Dr. Darlington because the wonderful welcome that makes me feel like home. They are very professional, kind and empathetic. My family and me recomend doctor Darlington a 100th %. Thanks God for then, God bless The Atlantic Eye Consultant .

Great way of interacting

Excellent job, fast courteous service Very pleased

Dr Straut is knowledgeable and knowledgeable explains things where you can easily understand. He addresses all of my concerns and provides options for treatment.

I have been having issues with my eyes subsequent to my cataract surgery. I have been back numerous times having seen different practitioners in this group. Final follow up yesterday with Dr. Darlington, I do not feel that anybody listened to my concerns nor did I get satisfactory answers. Would not recommend.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff

I’ve been seeing Dr Mandese for 5 years and trust him completely. He’s warm, caring, professional and efficient.
