Reviews

Written by 98 year old patient's companion. Dr Straut shows infinite patience and respect and hoes out of his way to address the concerns and needs of his patients to assure their vision experience is the best it can possibly be.

He was the most awesome eye doctor I have ever seen. Also ,

The entire office and Dr. Straut are courteous and efficient. They are very helpful and Dr Straut is able to get the best vision possible everytime.

Always a pleasant visit with staff and doctor.

Always a world class experience. Was introduced to Drs. Straut and Ganiban when I had a retina tear in 2019. They saved my vision in that eye and have been amazing in my care since. I call them my “wizards” - extremely talented and caring.

The staffing at the office is very friendly and courteous I appreciate that . Dr Mandese was always one of my favorite Dr that haven’t change since 2015 . Thank u .

All good as usual

Excellent service.

Very pleased. Dr very pleasant and staff the same. Comfortable with everything.

Excellent and all staff were well trained in their area in equipment they used.

Big shoutout to Dr. Darlington and his amazing team for helping me tackle my severe dry eyes and allergies!

Very good from the start till the end

Relaxing quick thorough.

Everything was ON TIME!! The personnel were great. I was on my way in less than an hour…

Excellent eye doctor very thorough

It is always a pleasure going to Dr Mandese, He is knowledgable experience, and able and willing to answer any questions ask of him. He does answer your question in a manner in which you can understand. Not hesitant to recommend a friend or love ones to him. bless you Dr Mandese.

Great quick service

Very professional and informative

Dr. Mandese is as good as it gets. He is a pleasure to deal with. He explains clearly on your level of understanding and answers every concern with experienced logic and knowledge. A good doctor is hard to find and he meets every preference of mine. I know I am in good hands with Dr. Mandese and his attentive staff.

Everyone I was in contact with were cordial and professional

Dr. Mandese is awesome.

Always a pleasure. Quick and efficient

Always a great experience. Very knowledgeable Dr and great support staff

Very professional and easy to understand.

Professional assessment and solution to my condition. They prepared me well for their processes and care, as well as my recovery.

The appt was on time the medical tech s were professional and kind.Dr Mandese was thorogh and answered all of my questions.

My first time visit was smooth. Staff and doctor were very friendly which made me feel very comfortable I will recommend others to that facility

Excellent experience with everything and everyone. Staff very helpful, informative and friendly including Doctor Straut.

Very professional and thorough with a pleasant personality.

Very thorough

Dr. Mandese is a true professional and I would not go to another optometrist. He is kind, compassionate and extremely professional.

Cataract surgery did not go well.. My left eye astigmatism was NOT detected and trifocal lenses installed do not function well, left eye is 20-40 vision at best… No excuse for this and I feel somewhat cheated.. Also, Dr Darlington needs to spend more time with patients to see what they really need, 30 secs is not enough… I was told his staff would explain everything but they were not very helpful in making the decision between monofocal and trifocal lenses… I was told “Just pick which one you want” and I guessed wrong!.. I’m sure Dr Darlington is a capable surgeon but things turned out horribly wrong for me because of the oversight!..

Dr. Straut and the staff explain what they are checking and the results along the way. I feel like my vision care is in good hands. I also love the ability to get an early morning appointment and the office staff are all friendly and awake!

Dr. Straut and his staff are attentive and kind. Dr. Straut is knowledgeable and explains things at my level of understanding without using big medical terms that I'm not familiar with. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes and that means a lot to me because I work. But that does not mean that he rushes you out either.

Always delightful staff - efficient run office - Dr. Mandese asks questions and listens to your concerns.

Outstanding as always

I had a wonderful experience at Atlantic Eye today! Everyone was very concerned and thorough and I feel very confident they will get to the bottom of my problem. Thank you for your generous care and concern today!

Wonderful as always. Very professional.

Very professional and informative about my issues, followed by a complete explanation of treatment methods available to me ; then a complete explanation of my responsibilities prior to and following the procedure required.

Excellent Doctor. Takes the time to explain everything and answer all questions.

Great but long wait .

Well informed prompt service

Excellent

The doctor explained what I needed to know.

The staff members and Dr Darlington are excellent at their job. I would recommend them to anyone that needs to do cataract surgery. They are really professional and provide excellent service.

Excellent!

Dr Mandese is great! He is informative, attentive, and thorough. He is friendly but professional. Glad he is my eye guy!

He’s an excellent doctor. He gets straight to the point without sugarcoating things. That’s why I’ve been his patient for 8 years!.

It was good and thorough. All the staff were very knowledgeable which made it seamless.

Great

Great customer service

Very nice and very informative

I enjoyed the caring professionalism of everyone I had contact with. Seldom seen much nowadays.

Excellent

Everyone at this office is so nice! Everyone explains everything in a timely manner! Thank you all so much!

Dr. Darlington is so nice and professional, he made me feel at ease and explained how the procedure would work. It was over before I knew it. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and very friendly. I definitely would recommend Dr.Darlington to anyone who needs his services.

Very professional and a great staff!

Always polite and efficient.

Ease of checking in & seeming in a timely manner. Pleasant staff

Dr. Mandese has always been a very caring doctor and very kind.

I find Michael Mandese to be a man of integrity! He is very thorough in the examinations!

K-Scrape.

my visits are always very smooth and informational.

Dr Darlington is at the top of his practice! He is very thorough and explains things very clearly. I have always felt like I was in good hands with him and my precious eyesight!

Dr Mandese is the best. Always kind and always takes his time.

I feel Dr Straut is a very caring and skilled doctor. I trust him completely with my eyes. I never feel rushed when I’m in his office and he’s just an amazing man.

I was very impressed with Dr Mandese. He listened to me about my dry eye condition. He ordered a prescription eye drops. I'm hoping they work because I've been dealing with dry eye for 2 years with other eye Dr's with no relief.

Thank you

Dr. Darlington is amazing! He’s been caring for my eyes for over five years now, and I feel like I’m in very good hands.

No issues/concern with the appointment. Dr Strout was very thorough and professional during the exam

Doctor is great The receptionist at the check out is absolutely horrible. Very rude with no manners

Thank you

Totally meet my expectations. I highly support this entire team. Both eyes done in two weeks, with the best vision I've had in 82 years.

Dr. Straut has a very pleasant personality, he explains in terms that I can understand. Takes time to answer my questions. Great visit

Excellent

Did not have to wait very long. Fast and Efficient!

My visit was excellent as always. Dr Straut examined my eyes and removed several eyelashes that were growing into my eye balls and causing a great deal of irritation. Dr Straut has been treating me for a number of years and I have always been very satisfied with his results.

Very professional

Efficient and courtesy staff. Will recommend to others

The only negative thing I can say is the wait time. There’s always a long wait before the doctor does his thing. One, sometimes two hours.

As always, appointment went smoothly. Everything went smoothly. Because most of the testing were done in different exam rooms, the appointment flowed very well. The tech, Lauren, was quite knowledgeable, polite, and above all, very professional. Had it not been for Lauren, who was very aware of her surroundings, overheard the receptionist schedule the next procedures at the wrong office location. Very impressed. Dr. Darlington was, as usual, very professional and quite efficient. Answered all the questions, knew what the next step was and made the recommendation. No nonsense, very efficient appointment.

The entire staff is great. Dr Straut is a fantastic Doctor. I recommend him and Atlantic Eye Consultants to anyone needing an exam and/or treatment.

It was very efficient, doctor explained things very well the staff very friendly and professional

Very personable and helpful. Dr Straut explains your condition and recommends treatment either now and the possible future remedies.

Wonderful staff, Dr Darlington is a great doctor. Takes time with his clients with the best of care. Need more Doctors like him.

Great Dr. Great staff. He listens, and has a great personality

Everyone was professional and courteous.

Good man

Like always everyone was very kind and helpful.

Very pleased with the service, staff and outcome

The staff members I dealt were joyfull and amazing. Have gone to this eye dr for years and really like him. My wife agrees and she sees him too!

I had great results from my cataract surgery - my eyesight is back to 20/20. Dr Darlington fully explained the procedure and closely monitored my recovery. His nursing staff is great and appointments were on time. Definitely five stars!

Dr. Straut is the real deal. He is a 5+ Dr At one time he took care of myself, my mother and my Aunt. He goes above and beyond for every patient. He has excellent bed side manners.

LOVE DR. "S" BEDSIDE MANNER, HE'S GREAT! HE CARES ABOUT MY SIGHT AND EYES.

Dr Straut and his staff were very thorough and professional. I would highly recommend his practice.

I underwent cataract surgery with Dr. Jason Darlington, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the initial consultation to the post-operative follow-ups, Dr. Darlington demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his patients. During our first meeting, he took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, addressing all my concerns and ensuring I felt comfortable moving forward. His confidence in his skills put me at ease, and I appreciated his willingness to answer every question I had. On the day of the surgery, the process was incredibly smooth and efficient. The staff at Atlantic Eye Consultants were friendly and attentive, making sure I was well taken care of. Dr. Darlington's surgical technique was remarkable—everything went exactly as he had described. Post-surgery, my recovery was quick, with minimal discomfort, and within days, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my vision. The colors were brighter, and I could see clearly without glasses for the first time in years! I can confidently say Dr. Darlington is an exceptional cataract surgeon. His skill and dedication have changed my life for the better, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering cataract surgery. Thank you, Dr. Darlington, for your outstanding care!

I've really had a great experience with this practice

Dr. Darlington has addressed all of the concerns I have had.

Very professional and pleasant

Great people very friendly

Absolutely Awesome!

Dr. Straut is always professional, efficient and kind.

I felt the exam was very thorough and all of my needs were met.

Dr Mandese is a true professional. He listens and explains everything. He is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. Staff is great as well

Dr. Darlington provide the best option for me. He reviewed through the options and didn’t just suggest what was most profitable for him. The office was great and would highly recommend

DR. MANDESE HAS BEEN TREATING ME FOR DOUBLE VISION FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. HE NEVER EVER MAKES ME FEEL RUSHED. HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN DETAIL AND IN LAYMENS TERMS. HE TRULY CARES AND IS SYMPATHETIC TO MY ISSUES!!! I HAVE SEEN MANY EYE DOCTORS AND DR. MANDESE IS BY FAR THE BEST

Dr. Straut is very thorough & patient. He'll take his time with you to 1. Fully explain any eye issued you may have and 2. Answer all your questions is terms you understand. His staff is excellent as well.

Great! All good!

I am 89 and he was the best. I have ever had for everything.. Explains and shows any problems.. Does not rush.... Where you were very impressed.

The waiting is too long

Dr. Darlington is the very best of the 15-odd eye doctors I’ve seen in my lifetime. His professional and skill are beyond any doubt.

Knowledgeable and experienced

very nice staff and doctor.

Great doctor very thorough

Dr. Mandese was excellent in providing the best assessment and review of the test results. He took time to explain the results and what he saw and the impact it would have on my eyesight. I recommend Dr. Mandese for his ex expertise and patient consultation

my experience was great Dr Darlington was very good i’m happy we were referred.

This was my second surgery. I had great experiences with Dr Darlington. He's extremely knowledgeable (of course). Plus he's very polite yet friendly for as busy as he is.

My visit to Dr Straut was great!! He and his staff were very friendly and professional. Dr Straut identified a problem with my vision that had been a problem for me for a couple of years and missed by other doctors

Very pleasant

Very good and professional .

.

Quick appointment and accurate diagnoses!

On time, everyone courteous and professional! I felt that I was looked at individually even though they are very busy!

Dr. Straut is attentive, responsive and highly competent. One of my favorite physicians.

Orderly, professional and organized. Every person, frony desk, technicians, assistants, all were friendly and went about their jobs quickly but not in a hurry. Dr. Straout as usual was great.

Professional and staff was very respectful

Thank you for the great experience in your office.

Very good communicator. Both listened and explained thoroughly

Dr. Mandese is absolutely amazing. I was referred to him by one of his colleagues, Dr. Darlington ( who is also amazing) because I developed double vision. Dr. Mandese ordered an MRI to rule out any physiological reason such as a tumor. The conclusion was that it was probably something I dealt with my whole life but never noticed until I got older. He prescribed prism glasses and fixed my eyesight. We follow up annually. The amazing thing is that their practice is always extremely busy but he always takes the time to ensure every question is answered and every concern is addressed. I would recommend him and Dr. Darlington to anybody who needs quality eye care.

Dr. Mandese was thoughtful, listened attentively, showed compassion and treated me thoroughly and professionally. Highly recommended

Everyone is nice and professional and make you feel comfortable and relaxed. I always have a great experience when I’m there I would recommend them to all of my friends.

Dr. Mandese is an excellent doctor. I moved from Kansas City and was worried about good healthcare. I have double vision and Dr. Mandese has the expertise and when he saw my eye muscle showed more weakening he immediately ordered an MRI to rule out something more serious. I’m thankful for his excellent care. Mary Warinner

Great

Dr. Straut is a kind, personable Dr. He explains things and asks if you have any questions.

Dr. Darlington has been my doctor for about 8 years. He is a great Doctor and listens to your issues you may have with your eyes and has always answered ways to solve the problem.

Great group of friendly staff. Excellent care by Dr. Straut.

Dr. Mandese has taken care of my eye issues !!

Nice guy! First time I met him and he was very nice, explained everything i needed to know

What I like best about Dr. Mandese is he listens to what you are saying and he responds appropriately. He answers all your questions and does not rush.

Pleasant staff Dr Darlington was very nice and appears confident and knowledgeable. My issue was pretty straightforward so I didn’t need to spend much time with him. I spoke with other patients while waiting and heard many positive things about him. There was a wait but that’s to be expected these days.

Doc was very good at explaining everything. I really appreciated it.

Great

Always very thorough and considerate. I feel very confident I’m getting the best care I can.

DR Darlington is the best eye dr ever i wood tell my family friends if u need a eye dr please check him out u and your team of nurses u gales rock keep up the great work youall do god blessed youall

Dr. Mandese is great. Office is efficient. His exams are thorough but quick.

Thorough, knowledgeable and patient oriented,

Great people great practice. Dr. Darlington is just an everyday guy. He explains himself clearly and concisely great personality. I’d recommend it to anybody.

I am very happy with doctor and his staff after having unpleasant experience at another doctor's office. Should have come here 1st.

Never got to see Dr. Mandese. I had an 8:10 appointment and arrived at 8:00. I was only the second person there. After 45 minutes, and 8 other people being called, I went to the desk to ask what was going on. After a moment the woman said they had to check something first. Then she asked if I wanted to check-in. I HADN'T been checked in yet!!! Who knows how long I would have been there if I hadn't gone up to the desk! I told her to cancel my appointment. I'll never go back.

Dr Straut is very good and thorough and kind. Highly recommend him for all eye care. 2 years ago he found a very rare form of cancer in my eye and he and Dr Galiban recommended I see an oncology ophthalmologist in Miami. I’m very grateful to them and thank them for helping save my life.

Dr. Straut thorough & professional. Answered questions. Exam went smoothly.

Always great customer service, pleasant staff. Dr Straut explains exam well and always answers your questions and concerns.

Prompt, courteous, efficient operation. I checked in on time, waited in the waiting room for only a few minutes. Was escorted to the prep area and prepared for the surgery by Belle most efficiently and pleasantly. I rested on the operating table, got my anesthetics and Dr. Darlington came and performed the surgery in short order and I was on the way back home less than two hours after I arrived. The whole process from the initial decision to have the operations to the follow-up visits to the performing surgeon to the responsible optometrist is very efficient and very well executed to doctors and staff alike.

Dr. Darlington is an exceptional ophthalmologist and experienced surgeon with highly specialized skills. His office is equipped with the latest technology, and his staff are friendly and welcoming to patients. They handle a large patient volume with cheerful efficiency and grace. I feel very blessed to have found this group of dedicated professionals.

Love Atlantic Eye Care and Love my Dr. Straut. He is caring and compassionate about his patients. They have made many changes there and all for the Better and serving their patients. Great job by all the staff.

The staff at Atlantic Eye Consultants provided excellent customer service and they’re professional at the service they provide. Awesome group of professionals

Technicians were absolutely excellent, special shout out to "Sue" (Sawako) for a great job. Everybody was on their game and on time. Dr Darlington is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions.

Have seen Dr. Darlington for over 2 years and have been pleased with care given every time. Dr. Darlington dd my cataract surgery, annual diabetic eye exam, and annual eye exam. I would recommend him for your vision care.

Great staff and Dr. was terrific!

VERY PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE

Dr Mandese has been following my mom’s double vision for about 6 years. She is 90yr old and he shows a caring attitude towards her. I appreciate his patience with her. I highly recommend Dr Mandese.

Dr Straut is extremely professional and friendly

The procedure was quick and the nurses and doctors were wonderful. The only thing I really didn’t like is they wheeled me out in a wheelchair and I was still as high as a kite during the drive home from Anastasia. I think they should give you a little wait time before wheeling you out to your ride.

N/a

I thought he was very pleasant with his patient

Best eye doctor. Very good taking time to explain an issue I was having.

Fast and easy

High Five Dr Darlington!! after the SLT procedure just two months ago, my pressures are down to an acceptable level

DR DARLINGTON IS EXCEPTIONAL, MY WIFE HAD CATARACT SURGERY ,DOING GREAT , I HAD AN EYE ISSUE AND HE SET UP TO SEE HIM IN LESS THAN 1 HOUR, I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH WITH HIS RESPONSE -YOU COULD NOT FIND A MORE CARING AND RESPOSIVE DOCTOR

Very kind, professional…thecateract procedure was a well oiled machine utilizing the extensive office personnel to work as a team to make sure the prognosis is correct, questions answered, care appointments arranged, and success tracked. Highly recommend Dr Darlington and the entire staff. Of course the best part is I can see like I’m a kid again. Very thankful for this.

Dr Mandese and his staff are excellent and they always take good care of me, they identified a potential problem and jumped on it. I am forever grateful to all of the staff

Dr. Darlington definitely lives up to his name!

He is amazingly patient, knowledgeable and takes time to explain what he sees along with the plan of care! Along with his staff, I think I have finally found a group that can address all my vision needs.

Dr. Darlington was professional answering any questions I had and shared some Information about my particular situation

Doctor Mandese is great. He knows his stuff and can communicate it to you in a way you understand. 5 Star all the way.

Had first eye shot Monday Eye red and I walked in for someone to tell me if the reaction was normal Dr Straut saw me and explained everything He was very kind and professional and calmed my concerns. EVERYONE at Atlantic Eye are wonderful people! Marianne Oliva

On my first visit, staff and techs were friendly and helpful. The office was very busy , but operations looked organized. Dr Darlington was friendly and professional. He answered my cataract questions thoroughly and didn’t talk down to me. Pleasant experience.

Doctors are great. Lost a star over the shuffling from waiting room to exam room. I am not very mobile, have to use a walker, Hallways are narrow, rooms are small, and I had to move from waiting room to exam room three times. Also, there are not enough handicap parking spaces.

Very knowledgeable and professional Doctor

Everyone in your facility was very efficient and professional from the check in personnel , the exam nurse, the measurement nurse right through to Dr. Strait. Great people and a great job , Thanks Tim Ryan

He took time and explained and treated me with great respect and did not talk down to me. Very professional and nice.

Dr.Eric Straut answered all my questions and took care of my immediate need as a new patient !

Answered all questions I had. Gave a great exam. Great experience. Highly recommend Atlantic Eye

All great

All of the staff was great. My only complaint is the long wait time. From signing in to checking out was almost 3 hours.

Great experience!

Always good to see Dr Straut and the excellent staff.

Explained my concerns very well.

Everyone was very kind, professional and in time.

Very thorough and efficient. Pleasant office experience

You can’t ask for someone who is trying to help you when your sight is narrowing. Hasn’t stopped urethra! Great caring smart man who treats your eyes and cares about you as a person. Extremely knows about all eye issues.

The visit I had on 3/5/2026 was excellent. Everyone was friendly and professional.

I feel almost like family. Everyone is so nice and professional.

I found out that my pressure was up and Dr. Darlington suggested changing the way I use my eye drops. Had I not seen him I wouldn't have known I had a problem.

Very nice practice. Doctors and staff are very friendly.

Wonderful doctor!! Very kind and great staff.

Good experience, good proceedure, great staff.

Front desk staff is always very rude

Excellent very professional Made me feel like I wax n good hands

I always receive great service from Dr strut and his staff.

Dr Straut is so kind and caring. Explains options, no pushy at all. So pleased with my care

He was very knowledgeable and caring.

I came in for a second opinion! The Dr found out I had an eye infection! He put me under a treatment (eye drops for red eyes) the treatment work well! I recommend this doctor!

Dr. Mandese entered the examiner room, he greeted me with a big smile. He made me feel very comfortable.

Best eye exam I have ever had! Very thorough, and super professional staff. Everyone explained what they were going to do, which made me feel at ease. Dr Straut was great at explaining his plan of care. Highly recommend!

Doctor Straut provided a thorough answer to my question. He was very prompt, respectful of my appointment time. He’s a very personable man with a great attitude.

Outstanding work

Having cataract surgery was scary but it was really quite easy and quick. Still healing right now though.

Everyone I interfaced with was very professional, courteous and friendly. Waite time was less than 10 minutes. Dr Straut was very thorough, not rushed, satisfactory answered all my questions and even provided several good eye care recommendations..

Great dr

Wait was 1 hr . Exam thorough.

I am very impressed with the services that Dr Mandese and the team at Atlantic Eye Consultants provide. Everyone there is very professional, knowledgeable and so courteous. I highly recommend them.

Always professional yet affable. Always ready to answer all my questions.

I know this is the practice to go to for all eye issues. Recommend Dr Straut highly. He is direct and to the point and answered me on all concerns I had on my most recent visit. Recommend His associates as well as I have at some point or another needed them too. The staff there is awesome just need to add that

Dr Straut took time to explain eye condition and drugs that were prescribed. Staff courteous and efficient.

Excellent, thorough exam. He thinks there might be more than "just getting old". Gives me confidence in what he is doing. I trust him and the Atlantic Eye Consultants.

Excellent Doctor. Takes time to explain things and answer all questions.

I was lazy & hadn't found an eye doctor since I moved to Florida. I had an amazing first experience here! The front desk receptionists, the nurses who did some of the eye check & Dr. Straut were all fantastic! Everyone was great. :)

I've been a patient of Dr.Mandese since 2019. I was on an antibiotic that required eye care every 90 days to prevent blindness. Dr. Mandese took this very seriously and took very good care of me. The staff works well together and are always able to get me in when an emergency pops up. I definitely recommend Atlantic Eye Consultants.

Everyone was very helpful and courteous. Very happy with my visit

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my initial experience at this practice warrants honest feedback. Dr. Darlington demonstrated very little in the way of bedside manner, and as a professional myself, I recognize the importance of authentic, respectful communication. He came across as dismissive and rushed, and the interaction lacked even the most basic elements of patient-centered care. I left feeling unheard and unsure whether my concerns were taken seriously. I also observed similar behavior toward his staff, which contributed to an overall sense of tension and negative energy throughout the office.

We originally came to Dr Straut for a special piece of equipment he had that no other in the area had. We made the move permanent for the extraordinary care we receive from him and his staff.

My Dr is the best. Staff is kind. Good results from lens replacement. Highly recommend.

This was my first time seeing Dr Straut. He was both knowledgeable and encouraging about my concerns for future cataract surgery. He reassured me that the surgery was extremely helpful in dealing with my declining vision issues . I was looking for expertise and I wasn’t disappointed.

Dr. Jason Darlington and his team are very professional, courteous and good.

Early morning appt, late to be seen. Mandese is clinicly solid.

I trust my eyes to Dr. Straut, been seeing him for a very long time, he’s always very nice and knowledgeable about my eyes! He’s everything I want in an eye doctor! I would recommend him to anyone who asks.

Dr. Straut is very knowledgeable and told me how to care for my eyes. He also made sure I made a follow up appointment to ensure my eyes were healed.

My experience with the clinical staff was great and Dr.Straut was very helpful. Everyone was very kind.

Everyone has been great throughout everything. I was very nervous about surgery and staff helped me through that.

Good review and communication

Dr Strout is very professional His staff is courteous and knowledgeable I had no wait time , Kim knew her job and called me in fight on time Dr Strout advised me of all my options and encouraged me to ask questions The staff set me up for my next visit at a convenient time Professional and knowledgeable are the key words that come to my mind

Excellent

Thorough, professional, easy to talk with.

Did my required eye exam and explained all - thank You!

I did first surgery its was a good job everything was good. And he did a second one its went well.

Dr. Straut and his staff are far superior to other medical practices in this area - not just for ophthalmologists but other medical care as well. The wait was short, and the attention from Dr. Straut was friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate his attention.

I would recommend this excellent caring doctor. Dr. Darlington takes time to listen to my questions and gives me very quick straight answers. I truly appreciate him and all of his caring staff, particularly the staff in Merritt Island.

He gave me detailed descriptions of my eye health. And gave me descriptions of what to expect of cataract forming in one of my eyes.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my initial experience at this practice warrants honest feedback. I saw Dr. Darlington on my first visit and to be honest……. what I experienced was a very poor bedside manner—dismissive, rushed, and lacking in basic patient communication. The interaction felt cold and unprofessional, and I did not feel that my concerns were heard or taken seriously. I also observed this similar behavior directed toward the staff as I was checking out. This negative energy wasn’t personal after-all, I guess that is just who he is but it contributed to an overall negative environment. I returned the following day and had a profoundly different experience! I saw Dr. Straut and it felt like I was at a completely different practice. The overall difference from the staff and environment in general was striking. My second visit was everything a medical experience should be—attentive, respectful, and patient-focused. Dr. Straut took the time to listen, explain, and ensure I felt comfortable with my care. It is concerning that such a significant gap in care exists within the same practice. Patients should be able to expect a consistent standard of professionalism regardless of which provider they see so if planning a visit, my advice would be to request Dr. Straut.

Dr. Straut is always very personable and professional and I feel well cared for.

Another enjoyable day visiting the eye clinic

I had testing done which was done quickly, but it was a very long wait to see the doctor.

I can SEE again (20/20) with my "new" Left Eye! Cataract and Cornea Surgery by The Best Eye Surgeon, Dr. Darlington & Staff. Thank you all! Now, for the Right eye.

He is thorough and treat you like his family

I have been a patient for 5 years and Dr. straut is always detailed, explains things so they make sense and provides options for care when needed. My only complaint is not with the care or the Dr., but there is usually a significant wait time, so plan that into your busy schedule. I would recommend Dr. straut for anyone looking for general eye care, plus they have specialist that are in the same group which makes those more complicated eye problems easier to schedule within the same practice.

Entire experience was great from the check-in to the techs and nurse to the Dr.

Staff is friendly and very pleasant Dr Darlington is great. I really like that he explains everything and gets right to the point

Great Doctor

Dr. Straut is very easy to talk to. He takes his time and I never feel rushed. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Straut is always thorough and does not rush through the appointment and he always answers my questions.

Good

Great staff and through exam.Doctor explained in detail. Very. Pleased

Dr. Mandese is the consumate professional, he is an excellent diagnostician and clinician. He not only provides wonderful medical treatment, but is also very caring and considerate of his patients needs and goes above and beyond the norm to treat you medically and care for you personally, with compassion and a high degree of skill and expertise. Dr. Mandese has a great support staff as well, which working together with him, brings an excellent all around experience to his patients. Dr. Mandese is a blessing in my life and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs care from an excellent Eye Doctor. God Bless, Janice Strickland

Dr. Mandese is thorough and knowledgeable. He is friendly and professional.

Quick, efficient, knowledgeable, helpful and personable.

Good job

Was a pleasure having my eyes operated on for cataracts and implant lenses in my eyes.

For how crazy busy Dr. Darlington is, he seemed to give me his attention and didn't make me feel hurried. He answered any questions I had until I didn't have any more questions. Just a heads up, at the Melbourne office, when he is there, the parking is quite a challenge.

Dr. Darlington did a great job on my cataract. Him and his staff were very professional and courteous. He did an exceptional service and I am grateful he was referred to me.

Front desk staff very helpful and personable. Technician was also great. Dr. Straut did a thorough exam, explained everything well and answered all of my questions. I will go back and highly recommend him and their office.

The surgery did not work. It damaged my eye.The vision in my left eye is blurry with "floaters". I cannot read with my left eye. It is too blurry. My eye is much more sensitive to light now. Sudden bright light makes it more blurry. The surgery was supposed to to make my eye less sensitive to light so I could drive at night! It is worse now when I ride at night when my wife drives. I am afraid to drive at all! Also, I also sometimes get bright light flashes on the left edge of my eye. Dr.Darlington told me he had put in the wrong lense! He told me it happens sometimes! He said he needed to do another operation to put in another lense! And that he had to do it within 3 months or it would be too "healed"! He also warned me that not all doctors knew how to do it correctly! After what he did! What am I supposed to do now? My quality of life is greatly affected! Do you honestly think I'm going to let him do another surgery?

Caring team

Staff efficient n knowledgeable. Dr explains as he gives care. I’ve been a patient at Atlantic Eye since way before it changed its name.

Very professional care

Dr. Darlington is the first class glaucoma doctor he saved both of my visions and a first class surgeon. You could not ask for a better doctor than Dr. Darlington. Thanks for saving my eyes or eye John shoulder.

The office staff is friendly and professional. I love that they're not too busy to see you in an emergency situation. I feel that they are really concerned about my health.

I recommend Dr. Darlington when my friends ask me who they should see about their cataracts all the time.

After all tests were finished, still had to wait 45 minutes to see doctor for result. Made for tiring afternoon.

Dr. Darlington is very professional and efficient. He explained everything in very detailed. I highly recommend his practice.

Dr. Darlington is an excellent physician. I would highly recommend him. The office staff is very competent and helpful.The title of his medical practice is: Atlantic Eye Consultants.

Prompt and efficient. All steps explained and staff is friendly and helpful. The Doc is the ultimate professional - smart, specific, and explains options.

.

from the time you walk in the front door and leave, you’re met with professional courteous experts in their field. highly recommend this office and Dr. Darlington.

I always find the office staff and Dr. Straut very efficient, friendly, and efficient. I would recommend Dr. Straut to anyone who wants to have a great experience.

Dr. Straut makes me feel at ease and gives me excellent advice about my eyesight. Recommend him highly to my family and friends.

I was concerned about my left eye seeing blurry, after having cataract surgery over a year ago. After going through a series of tests, I was happy to learn it is lens cloudiness. Dr Straut assured me all looked good and not to be concerned unless it bothered me. So relieved with the outcome. Thank you for taking the time to answer all my concerns.

Excellent, Trusted Service!

Reasonable wait time, and then I saw two associates and the doctor. The entire appointment took less than an hour including the wait time for my eyes to fully dilate. Very pleased with the Doctor and all the associates.

Okay

Excellent Dr , very knowledgeable and informative

Great first experience with Dr. Jason Darlington. Got answers to questions I could not receive from my previous Doctor.

Had an eye emergency. Was seen same day and actually was in and out faster than my normal appointments. Appreciate the care

Everything went well with the pre-op. Have not had surgery yet

Wait time is way too long!!!

My experience with the exam was very positive. Dr Strout was very encouraging. I had a stroke which compromises my vision. He assured me that my new glasses will help a lot in working around my loss. I needed that assurance. In a situation like this, you need encouragement.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes. I had absolutely no issues after surgery. I wish I'd had the surgery sooner. I can see without glasses for the first-time in years. I highly recommend Dr. Darlington for your eye care at Atlantic Eye Consultants.

Parking in the middle of the day is horrible and waiting an hour and 15 minutes for a scheduled appointment is disappointing. But, we value Dr darlington's care and made our appointment for early in the day on a Monday.

All good

Always a very professional experience. Everyone there is friendly and answers all my questions. Highly recommend this place.

Overall our experience was very good. Dr. Mandese and staff are very patient and make you feel comfortable.

I was very impressed with this facility and the providers; they addressed all my questions and concerns. . I will be returning to them for my next eye exam as long as I am in the area by next year.

The best care ever.

The staff and Dr. Straut are all wonderful!

Dr Mandese was fantastic. I appreciate the time he spent with me and especially the time he spent answering all of my questions. I left feeling very comfortable going forward with my treatment. His office staff were also great with how they treated me and making my visit comfortable

Very professional everyone made you feel comfortable

A very personable Dr. Always takes his time with you at your office visit, After a thorough eye exam, Dr Straut gives you a detailed summary of his findings. Highly recommend!

I had cataract surgery and was very impressed with how my surgeries went. Support staff and nurses were very cordial and thoughtful. The twilight anesthesia worked real well, went from remembering getting prepped to your wife is here to take you home.

Fixes dry eyes regularly I'm happy with his work.

Exam was very thorough and all my questions concerning the exam were thoroughly answered.

Excellent and Dr.Straut is a wonderful doctor.

The nurses are very humorous and extremely polite. They were very accepting my anxiety condition and explained everything step by step. Dr. Mandese is top notch and was very quick and thorough in his exam. He gave me some very good answers and asked to watch my case closely due to my condition. Love going place and feel very at ease there

Friendly, informative, timely and professional

Listens well.

Dr Darlington performed surgery to remove cataracts four years ago. I return once a year for followup. Fortunately due to his initial great work, my vision is extremely crisp and sharp both day and night. I’m so pleased.

Very good

Dr Straut is very knowledgeable and never tries to rush you. He will spend time discussing your results

I've been going to Dr. Mandese about five years and he's very thorough . I'm never rushed and he always answers all my questions and concerns. He's a good doctor.

I found Dr. Straut to be very nice, very professional and friendly. He listens and hears you. He is ready, willing, and able to address any concerns you may have. Above all, I trust him and his judgment.

Great place ! Dr. Menendez It’s very professional and actually very concerned about what might be wrong. He seems very intelligent and intuitive about various conditions. Very helpful to me when I was here on vacation and had a possibility of a stroke to get My MRI to evaluate.

Long wait otherwise a good visit.

extended wait however session with Dr pleasant and inf0rmitive. Thanks|

I have recently completed my cataract surgery on both eyes and can successfully say I agree with Dr. Darlington that I was a perfect candidate for the multi focal lenses I chose. Now no more contacts or glasses! He put my mind at ease through the whole process and is a very skilled doctor who runs a professional, efficient and friendly medical practice and surgery center. I would not hesitate to return.

He checks your eyes, gives you information to improve your eyes, listens to any concerns you might have and answers questions.

Very thorough exam, explained everything to me in detail.

He is a very caring Dr. Also very knowledgeable.

He is SO thorough I feel my eyes are in good hands. His assistants are kind. If there's one drawback it is the wait. One must be patient, bring something to read..have driver drop off and be called if impatient... Worth the wait

Awesome continuing service!

Dr.Mandese is very nice and very knowledgeable.

This is the best my vision has ever been under Dr. Darlington.

What a wonderful person and certainly a professional in his field. I was impressed by doctors knowledge. He made me feel a lot better after seeing him. Staff was wonderful as well. Thank you, everyone

Excellent albeit a bit slow.

Dr Darlingtion and his staff were excellent. Testing was performed to determine id i needed cataract surgery in both of my eyes. Test results were negative. As a result, I made another appointment for scheduled 1 year to check my eyes again for any need for the surgery.

As always very good. Professional friendly and complete. Dr Mandese is the best!

Had cataract surgery. Great care taken from start to finish from every single person who works in the practice. Everything very organized and clear, including my new eyesight.

Clearly explained procedures and medical conditions. Timely visit without a prolonged wait time

Checking in to getting in is way too LONG!

Great eye Doctor

Everyone was very professional. Procedure went well. Thanks to all.

The entire staff is professional and courteous. Always with positive reassurance and answers to all questions. I would highly recommend them.

I disembarked on my last day of the Star Trek Cruise and my right eye became pink and exuded mucus like film. Thankfully, I had 8 hours before my flight so I diligently called every nearby OD, explained my situation, but no one was available for appointments. I'm so grateful Dr. Mandese accommodated my appointment as I can't imagine I would have been able to see anything in another 8 hours. Dr. Mandese and his staff were so helpful and kind and they really supported me in a tough situation. Thank you so much to the Atlantic Eye Associates team!

always has a smile and a calm manor Explains what needs to be done and does not make you feel as if yo are being rushed

The entire staff were professional and showed care and concern.

Compassionate,professional.

Very happy that I chose to be seen at this office. Dr Stuart was very thorough and took the time to explain everything. All the staff that worked with him were great. Front desk needs some help. Everyone at front desk appeared very stressed. I’m glad that I chose to go to this office.

Long wait to see. Doctor

Thank you, Dr. Straut! I “appreciate you”! Very much!

Courtesy Doctor , he was more informed than the last time I visited him

Dr is Great. Wait time is crazy

Effective, efficient, courteous, pleasant.

very pleasant experience in office and at the surgical center

The staff and doctors are excellent. Wait time when you have an appointment is a bit lengthy, but well worth the wait for the care provided.

Only problem was the wait. Appointment was at 12 noon, did not get seen until almost 2 pm.

Great practice and the Drs are complimentary tasty to each other in both their specialties and professionally. Dr Strout always takes his time and it is evident he cares about his patients and their health

Dr

Very well!

Dr. Straut is an amazing optometrist, he really has the ability to explain what is happening to your vision/eye in terms you can understand. He uses diagrams and visualizations to clarify your understanding of the situation and what ways you can change it. I have found all of the Staff at all 3 offices (PB, Melbourne and Suntree) to be good natured, friendly and outgoing. They “know their stuff,” can answer questions about procedures and tests and are experts at keeping the office visit procedures moving.

From start to finish my experience was great the staff and Doctor were very professional and helpful I would recommend them to everyone.

Quick and easy to understand. Great service, punctual, patient and took time to explain and answer my questions. Saved me a lot of time. Thank you!!

Fast, efficient, friendly.

He provided me with very details about my vision

I was extremely satisfied everybody I had contact with was very professional and was a pleasure to talk to. It was a great visit. All my concerns were addressed.

Dr Mandese is pleasant, thorough and answers all my questions. I highly recommend him to anyone.

He explained things is you don’t understand some test or what he is doing

Dr. Darlington replaced my corneas ins 2015. Dr Darlington is professional, knowledgeable, and he truly takes the time to listen and explain everything clearly. The eye exam was thorough with many updated/newer testing and I never felt rushed. All of my questions were answered patiently, and I left feeling confident about my eye health and treatment plan. It’s clear that Dr. Darlington genuinely cares about patients and takes pride in providing high-quality care. I highly recommend Dr. Darlington to anyone looking for an attentive, skilled, and compassionate eye doctor.

Dr. Straut is always thorough for my eye exam. He is patient and explains what he is doing and answers any questions. He always ask how you are and what’s happening in your life. He’s kind and cares about his patients! He’s the best!

I am very pleased with Dr Straut’s care and his concerns as to my eye care. I would recommend him to anyone who would like to go to see him.

Excellent!

Doctor MANDESE is great! Also the stuff, is very friendly and helpful! I liked very much!

I have been a patient of Dr. Straught for numerous years. A wonderful Dr and office staff as well. He listens to you and answers your questions so you can fully understand (what's really going on) you're a person not just a number or patient that day. Highly recommend him & Atlantic Eye Group!

Very professional.Still friendly and caring .
