He was very explanatory as to what was going on with my eyes.

Everything one was so polite and concern from my safety they treated me like a person, not a number

Always a pleasure working with Dr. Straut & staff. He is straightforward, answers all questions & very helpful!

Dr. Jason Darington goes above and beyond to make a patient feel comfortable. He explained everything I needed to know about my upcoming cataract surgery. I am looking forward (No pun intended} to a very successful experience and completely trust in his knowledge and expertise.

Great doctor, answers questions and explains everything. I would highly recommend Dr. Mandese.

Very thorough and caring

Great, as usual

Awesome

Everyone was professional, courteous, and respectful. My eye exam was performed with the utmost care and concern to make certain that it was performed correctly. Dr. Straut is very easy to speak to and he listens to your concerns and answers all questions. I was very pleased with how I was treated and the knowledge and training of everyone.

First visit. Found Dr. Mandese and his team to be kind, helpful, professional. Dr. Mandese took his time, working with my tendency to go off topic, which I really appreciated. I received a very thorough opthomalogic exam and given the medical explanation of diagnosis and recommendations. Much appreciation.

Excellent service staff very attentive and friendly

Dr. Darlington is a very professional, patient and down to earth individual. He sits and speaks with you in a calm, knowledgable and down to earth manner. He speaks with you in a calm way-a way that is simple where one can understand. He patient and not in a rush to be rid of you- In other words he listens and then he relies in simple language that you can understands. There is fluster and Rush as to say I have to be out. HE LISTENS . One could not ask for a more Professional and pleasant individual.

Very professional. Very good. Explained things clearly. His staff is outstanding.

He's the best Dr. In the state of Florida in my opinion. He did a Cornea transplant on me, it's doing great. I would diffently recommend him.

Dr Darlington replaced my R lens with no problem this morning. My vision seems great and they said it will only get better!

The entire appointment was very efficient and courteous. The professional process and examination was a pleasure.

Anyone would be apprehensive at first to have Cataract surgery. But Dr Darlington prepared me so well. I understood what to expect and I will say it was an even better outcome than I anticipated. I was excited to get the second eye down. My vision, light, color etc all greatly improved. The doctor, the staff and the surgery center all performed with efficiency and skill. I am so glad my optometrist sent me to Dr. Darlington.

Had appt at 9:35 & was on my way home by 10:30! Good visit!!

Very thorough and very kind Dr

The staff in front desk are always pleasant and helpful. Dr. Darlington Assistants are also friendly and explain what test they are giving. Dr Darlington is a excellent doctor and will explain any thing I ask about my eyes. Also, he takes his time to listen and doesn't rush off. I know he has many patients besides myself. But, I really enjoy going to his office and the great staff.

Marvellous!!

Was able to get in on a same day appointment. Dr. Straut is always very good at explaining what is going on in layman’s terms. His staff is also top notch.

It is always a pleasure being treated by Dr. Mandese. This latest appointment was exceptional because Dr Mandese completed a procedure so efficiently that I was on my way 1 minute before the appointment start time!!!

Professional snd great use of timing for patient snd staff. . Thank you

Dr. Mandese is incredibly thorough, precise, and attentive to my vision and overall eye health. As a Type 2 diabetic, I see him for my annual eye exams, and I always feel confident that I’m receiving excellent and attentive care. He takes the time to address my concerns and makes sure everything is carefully evaluated. I highly recommend Dr. Mandese!

After nearly three weeks of increasing eye pain and an ongoing sense of a foreign body, Dr Darlington quickly found and removed an ingrown eyelash, fixing a problem mis-diagnosed as infection by two previous providers. I had relief in seconds. As previous reviewers have observed, there was about an hour wait, but the place was jamming. Every staff member was courteous and helpful. As a recently retired ER RN, I was pleasantly surprised with efficiency and the outcome. Excellent work.

Professional, on time, thoroughly answered all questions.

I don’t know who the young lady was the helped us. She had VERY blue eyes. She was amazing and made us feel welcome to the community and also provided the best care for my eyeballs. The main doctor was awesome too and helped me get my eyes right.

Dr.Straut is willing to listen to my concerns and puts my mind to rlest. I always leave my appointment feel I received the best eye care. Dr. Strait and his staff are great.

Dr. Straut is very thorough and ecplsins everything that he finds. The staf is very friendly.

Dr. Darlington is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST EYE DOCTOR I have ever had. He is very smart, professional, caring, and provides exceptional patient care. He takes time with you and is a great listener with resolutions. I always feel great after my office visit knowing that he answered my questions and provided me with great care. He is up on the newest information regarding eye diseases, etc. His staff (front office; surgery center; clinical) are exceptional and they work together as a great team! I am very thankful for all he has done for my eyes (Glaucoma and Cataracts). I trust him completely and know he will provide me the best care at every visit. I have heard from so many patients how wonderful he is. I am referring everyone I know to him. Thank you, Dr. Darlington and Team, for providing me with exceptional customer service and clinical care. His Team is a great role-model for others. I am thankful for all of you! Margaret Schwanda

Dr Straut is so very nice. I like that he takes the time to explain, in easy to understand terms, what is happening with your eyesight. I will definately use him for all my dental needs.

Serious about you the patient not just selling you cataract surgery thank you

The doctor is caring and is solution oriented

All employees were outstanding. Each one, in her field exceeded her services. Always in a professional manner but at the same time, very friendly and courteous. I would recommend Dr. Jason Darlington at the highest for anyone in need of his services.

Dr. Darlington and his staff are wonderful. I have total confidence in Dr. Darlington. I was experiencing itchy and painful symptoms in both of my eyes. Also the skin around my eyes were darkening. I went to my optometrist, general practitioner, and a dermatologist. I was getting several different diagnoses with treatment and medications. Nothing worked. I made appointment with Dr. Darlington. He walked in and said I know exactly what is going on. You are allergic to preservatives in eye drops. He prescribed new eye drops that were preservative free. Within a few days my symptoms and pain were disappearing. I would recommend without hesitation.

Very friendly efficient staff to greet you. Professional pre-check. The doctor was very thorough and professional. Recommend further follow up in the future when needed. He explained every detail of what he was doing and what would be done in a future follow up. Would highly recommend..

Very thorough, answers all questions, recommends additional treatment, but not demanding. Exactly everything you want in a doctor.

He clearly explained how my eyes are doing answering all my questions.

Dr Straut is an excellent eye doctor. Takes his time with you and listens to your concerns

Dr Mandese and his crew at Atlantic Eye Consultants were/are very good in their overall performance and client care. From the almost no wait appointments, courteous explanation of the procedures they were about to perform. Dr Mandese’s experience shows in the smooth flow of our exams that were performed while answering questions we had prior to, during and after our eye exams. The crew also made sure if we had any questions or experienced any problems after we left to call. We are very satisfied with this office’s service and care to the clients.

Love that he cares and makes time if you have any questions

Doc Straut was very calm, thorough and explained everything to me. I felt I was examined by a true expert in his field.

Dr Darlington was the first doctor to explain my diagnosis in a way in which I could understand. He was very professional and knowledgeable along with all the staff. I was very anxious about this appointment however, Dr Darlington made me feel at ease knowing I would be followed on a regular basis.

Wait time was minimal, entire staff were courteous, answered all questions.

For my wife and I, the annual eye exam with Dr. Mandese is a pleasant and stressless experience. The staff at Atlantic Eye Consultants is polite, professional, and efficient. Time is taken to answer any questions. Dr. Mandese is appropriately thorough and focused, yet personable and pragmatic. Marcelle is both knowledgeable and patient. She is especially careful to be accurate in her coordination eye glass selection and specification logistics. With Dr. Mandese, you know that you are doing the most that you can do to optimize your precious eyesight. Drew T.

He was fantastic!!!

Dr. Straut is a highly professional, caring physician who explains everything clearly and takes the time to answer any questions you might have. He is very reassuring and doesn't rush the appointment. Dr. Straut's staff is welcoming and keeps the flow of patients moving in a timely manner. All you will need is one appointment and you've feel confident that you've chosen the the best doctor for you and your family.

So far my experience with Atlantic eye consultants has been great. First visit as a new patient was this morning. They did their best to fit me in last minute because I was having terrible eye strain and headaches from my current glasses. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The eye exam was thorough. I’m starting by replacing the lenses in one pair of my computer glasses. The optical department investigated the issues I was having with my progressives (from another dr and provider). They checked them out and said the fit and prescription alignment was all wrong, no wonder I never liked them. That gives me hope. They are also doing their best to get my new lenses in as soon as possible so my headaches and strain are relived soon as I am on the computer for 9-14 hours a day. I appreciate their willingness to go above and beyond the typical service I get elsewhere.

Had a great experience with dr Darington let’s you know what’s going on in simple terms

My experience of Dr Mandese and his staff has been very positive over the past 8 years. Appointments run on-time, are not rushed, and I have been treated with courtesy and respect. Dr Mandese is always great about explaining how aging may affect my vision and how to keep my eyes healthy. I am grateful for his care.

Thorough and knowledgeable.

Dr. D is an outstanding physician and I am always impressed with the care, if somewhat brief, I receive.

As always very professional and courteous

Initial meeting was very positive. All of my questions were answered.

Dr. Mandese and his staff are very professional and caring. Dr. Mandese takes his time to explain things .

100 professional and got me to where I need to be for next steps

Excellent job by taking several test in order to know customer up to date health profile picture. Need little bit more explanation to customer than customer doing good. or do not need to change medication

Dr Straut is amazing . I was having a problem with left eye in the corner. He immediately knew what the problem was - there was an eye lash touching my eye. He gently removed it and it feels fine now. Thank you Doctor

Dr. Mandese was incredible. He’s very attentive, knowledgeable, kind, personable, and understanding. His staff were absolute sweethearts and just as incredible as him. I had an amazing experience and cannot recommend him enough!

Dr Straut listens well and goes the extra mile to provide the help I need. He feels concern when he sees me frustrated and I really appreciate that.

My first experience was several years ago after an ER visit with a sever eye infection and the care following was great. He is my routine eye examination physician and I just broke my glasses and felt need for new script even though last glasses are under 2 years old.They got me in for an appointment in a day. Just yesterday I was diagnosed with cataracts so he made sure I understood I would need another script after the surgery so I wont get my new lenses made till after the cataract surgery.

Listened and provided great care and treatment for my eyes.

I always feel as if my smallest concern is important to Dr. Straut. He takes his time and explains everything in a way that helps me to continue to do my part as a patient without making me feel as if I've done something wrong. He and all of his co-workers, from checki-in to check-our are wonderful and professional.

EXCELLENT VISITS AS ALWAYS. DR. STRAUT AND HIS STAFF ARE EXCELLENT AND I'M VERY HAPPY WITH MY VISITS. MICHAEL D.

Great!!

Atlantic Eye is run so well they don’t waste your time just sitting. Every employee knows their job, moves you along to the next station, if needed, until you see the Dr. who has already reviewed your test results and can speak with you. Dr. Straight is a gentleman, straightforward but patient if you have questions or comments. I appreciate that they respect my time as I respect theirs.

Second surgery went well no problems.

Dr. Mandese is knowledgeable and thorough in his eye exams. Dr. Mandese has the expertise to test me for my double vision and to prescribe the correct lenses for it. He also is kind and caring.

Professional, friendly, efficient staff, with much concern for the patient's condition and privacy

Dr Straut is the best. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. His staff is amazing too.

Dr. Straut is an exceptionally competent and knowledgeable ophthalmologist, and I could not be more grateful to have found his office. From the moment I arrived, the entire staff was kind, considerate, polite, and professional. That level of attentiveness was a refreshing change from the indifference that patients too often encounter in medical settings. I have an advanced degree in molecular biology and have taught anatomy at the college level, including the anatomy of the eye, so I have a strong appreciation for clinical knowledge and technical competence. Dr. Straut impressed me immediately. His expertise, thoroughness, and confidence were clear, and I can honestly say that patients are in excellent hands with him. The entire visit was outstanding. I was taken back almost immediately, within just a couple of minutes of signing in, and I did not spend time waiting in one room after another. I was seen promptly, evaluated thoroughly, and treated with real care. The technician who performed my refraction was exceptional, and an incorrect prescription from my previous ophthalmologist was finally corrected. I was genuinely emotional with relief after this visit. Competence matters, and so does being treated like a person rather than a number. Dr. Straut and his staff delivered both. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for skilled, compassionate eye care.

The staff is very pleasant and prompt with their initial preparation. Dr Straut is very knowledgeable and I have followed him for several years. Highly recommend this office and Dr Straut wherever he goes.

He’s very thorough and kind. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and answer them.

Very good

Always profitable thanks

Dr Mandese is a very knowledgeable doctor. He also is kind and friendly. I enjoyed my visit.

My husband and I have always had excellent care. Now, it's just me and still the best care for the past 20 plus years. Office staff, techs, admins...do the best they can which is great when they are always so busy.

I had cataract surgery in right eye July 2, 2026 and so far 11 days later my vision is getting better every day. I had no problems day of and day after surgery. I had no pain, no eye redness since I had the surgery. I recommend Dr. Darlington for cataract surgery. James D.

Dr. Mandese and staff are the BEST!!!

On time, very efficient visit.

He is thorough and always spend time to answer your questions. Easy to understand and always talk with respect.

Dr Straut corrected an issue that a number of other eye professionals had missed over a number of years and my eyesight has improved 100%. He has a very professional and friendly staff that met all of my expectations for a very enjoyable appointment

The team are very kind, caring and helpful. Dr. Mandese takes time to answer questions and explain everything to you. Great experience all around!

Will take the time to listen.

For Anyone who is Considering Getting a Cataract Removed ,or Glaucoma Treatment. I Highly Recommend You See Dr. Jason Darlington at Atlantic Eye Consultants at ( 321) 805- 3700 ! It Wasn't a Painful Procedure For Me At All & it Didn't Take Very Long ! His Staff are Very Friendly & Helpful

Very thorough exam, Dr Mandese was very friendly and knowledgeable. The staff was great

Dr. Straut takes the time to explain what he is doing and the results. He seems very thorough.

The best eye care in the melbourne area

Dr. Straut is very knowledgeable and thorough doctor. He has a nice personality as well. Myrna Dubroff

From the front door to the back EVERYONE IS WELCOMING AND SINCERE. All had good eye contact and so kind! Dr Mandece has taken care of our eye health for 9yrs. He is caring and diagnoses are spot on. We trust his judgment and deeply appreciate his care!!!

All personnel are great, but 2 hrs for a simple check up is too long.

Very pleasant appointment. I am always greeted and asked how I am doing. Dr. Mande answers all my questions. He was always very pleasant and supportive.

Dr Straut was very thorough, professional and answered all of my questions.

I have been going to see him for a long time and drive an hour to see him. I know I should find a new doctor where I live but I really trust him. He is good about not giving me medicine that contradicts with my Ms

Dr. Straut was informative as he reviewed the findings of the diagnostics tests done earlier during my visit. He explained the guidelines for my next course of action. He was very professional and gracious during his entrance to and exit from the room.

Atlantic Eye Associates runs like a well‑oiled, efficient clinic should, and the staff is clearly knowledgeable. Dr. D takes as much time as needed to answer every question. Brevard County is fortunate to have such an experienced ophthalmologist.

Dr. Mandese is excellent and I would recommend to anyone seeking eye care.

Today's visit took 2.5 hrs for my yrly exam because of lengthy wait times between segments performed by the assistants before finally seeing Dr. Darlington. It was reminiscent of the unfortunate wait times when he was part of the previous eye care business, but which initially, seemed much improved with Atlantic Eye. Also, although I have been his patient for several years, it would be most reassuring and courteous if he would address the patient, me, by my name when he enters the exam room. However, i still give him five stars because, most importantly, Dr. Darlington is an excellent opthomologist and eye surgeon. Anyone can tell that he 'knows his stuff' and can and does explain any visual problems in a way one can understand along with options to resolve those issues. Thank you, Dr. Darlington

As always, I was greeted warmly and signing in was efficient and easy. All the staff is professional, warm and smiling. I am pleased to say that I feel that I am in good hands. Dr. Straut is knowledgeable and listened to my concerns.

Excellent

I have been seeing Dr. Straut over the last couple of years. To me, he is one of the best doctors around. Dr. Straut takes his time with you, goes into detail explaining everything and does rush you out of the office. He truly cares about your needs and your eye sight.

Dr. Mandese is an AWESOME eye specialist. He has been my eye specialist since I moved in this area for 8 years. Always friendly, speaking non-verbally with his caring smile as I ask my questions of concerns. He explains ensuring that you have an understanding. If you are searching for an Optometrist I truly recommend Dr. Michael Mandese. SWJ

First class professional. Great friendly staff

On my visit to the office June 29, 2026, I had a thorough examination of my left eye addressing the cataract. The staff was pleasant and professional Dr Darlington gave me his thoughts on the prospect of having surgery to remove the cataract and replace with a Lense in my right eye.

Dr. Mandese truly cares about his patients. He is thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. His explanation of symptoms and treatments is thorough. I will continue to have my vision taken care of by Dr. Mandese.

Dr Darlington is always professional, interactive and explains everything. He spends time listening to concerns and actually cares about his clients. He's the best not just in Brevard but in the state from what others have told me, for glaucoma and cataract surgeries. He is always keeping up with the latest technologies for all eye concerns.

The staff and the doctor are very polite and friendly. The only drawback is the time it takes on a busy day.

Excellent

Dr Straut and his staff were competent and attentive.

Very good

Only complaint was having to wait so long. Otherwise everything was great.

Dr Straut is a kind and caring Doctor.. Answers my questions.. and I never feel rushed. And I like the staff too. While I liked the doctor I was with for several years.. he changed to another practice and the person that checked me in was rude and I decided to look elsewhere.. Not only that.. they would schedule one day for tests and then 3 days later for results.. 2 co pays.. ummm I feel like they were milking me.. I am happy I changed.

Short and sweet

Little wait time. Thorough exam.

I arrived early & did not have to wait. Everyone was nice.

Takes his time and explains what you need to know.

I got a late start when my car wouldn’t start, and I had to change cars. On my way, I was held up by long freight train at a RR crossing. I explained, and my visit was held professionally.

Very good

Excellent

Fantastic would highly recommend

Dr. Straut and his great team of ladies were kind and helped keep me calm as I have anxiety and for only the second time at an eye doctor I did not have an anxiety attack! He figured out the cause of my eye pain quickly. I look forward to coming back for my next appointment!

The entire process, from my first eye exam to the first follow up appointment after the cataract surgery was great. Dr. Darlington, and all of the medical staff and office workers were professional, patient, and kind. I look forward to having the cataract from my other eye removed, and know I have nothing to be nervous about. (well, with the exception of "IV" needle, Ouch!!) I am so grateful for the improvement in my vision!

They took my eye exam very detailed and were seriously concerned about my eye health I felt safe and I can trust their word

Patient and pleasant staff...

Great first experience

Pleasant,compassionate environment! More after the next treatment!

I scheduled the appointment because I thought I might be developing a secondary cataract in my left eye. The tech took me back early and conducted the most thorough eye exam I have ever had. When she checked my vision to see how my prescription was doing, she had me corrected to the clearest vision I believe I have ever had. She was extremely proficient. Dr. Mandese examined my eyes and gave me his diagnosis. I have been using him since my cataract surgery and will continue to see him in the future.

Dr. Mandese and assistant was very welcoming. They both did my eye examination and confirmed dry eyes. He explained to me what needed to be done and how. He gave an eye drop prescription which he records would be the best for me at present. I will follow instructions and go back to see him in 3 weeks. Very pleasant, answered questions and his bedside manners is worth

The only reason this review is not 5 stars is because of their parking situation. I'm a very good and experienced driver and I had difficulties with their site. A vehicle had blocked the lane that circled behind the building and I was forced to reverse in a very tight s curved spot. Furthermore, there was a brand new vehicle (legally parked) on my other side making it almost impossible to get out. Eventually, I had to drive my rear right tire on top of the s curve curb to get out. Luckily, I drive an SUV, but I don't believe a sedan would not fair very well. They need to address this because their patients are vision impair and would have a more difficult time navigating the same situation.

Dr Straut is very professional and personable.

Dr Eric Straut good doctor

Dr. Darlington is very professional very to the point Which I appreciate. I am very satisfied and will be having a procedure shortly I'll keep in touch

Dr. Strout explained what was going on with my left eye and prescribe some medicine. He sent spent time explaining what was going on with my eye. Glad I was able to get in to see him.

Been 4-5 years since Dr Darlinton's corrective surgery on my eyes .... very comprehensive tests and great visit.

The Dr Darlington team is fabulous

Appointment happened ontime as scheduled with no delays. Dr Stroud was exceptional. Informative and easy to talk to

I was anxious prior to cataract surgery, however it was over quickly and am pleased with the result. Staff is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I immediately booked the left eye and am confident I will have a good result.

Wonderful practice staff and Doctor

Everything was fine, staff is excellent. The only drawback is the wait times are extremely too long, don’t know if it’s because of over booking or what? I arrived at 12:45 and left at 3:30

Incredible service from start to finish. The doctor was very through with explaining things. His staff members were all kind and patient.

Professionalism at its best

Dr. Straut is an excellent doctor. Great listener, takes his time with you, thorough, compassionate. Highly recommend him!

Excellent as always.

Fast & done correctly

Friendly, efficient staff. Was able to see the Dr. In a reasonable time. Thank you for your caring staff!

Overall, this was a good complete and thorough visit, Dr Straut is really good in explaining what is happening with my vision and what the next steps might be. I have confidence in him. However, I need to comment on the staff. They appear to be bored with their jobs. No one smiles. Everything is done quickly in dull routine with limited interaction other than going through the motions. It seems as if they do the same procedures so often that they forget there are patients to interact with. There’s a coldness with them and, frankly , in the aging facility. I like dr Straut and will return but with hope there’s more “spirit” all around.

Very detailed and professional. It was a great visit on very short notice!

My experience with Dr Stuart was very good , he was very thorough and attentive. As far as my experience in whole the wait time is way too long.

we were visiting from out of town and my wife got her eye scratched very badly, Dr Mandese saw us on short notice and was very kind, caring and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him. Gerry Van Acker

Dr. Mandese has taken care of our eyes for many years and we find him to be the best of the best. He's extremely easy to talk with, explains everything in detail, gentle, never in a rush and we just simply are so happy to be his patients. Thank you Dr. Mandese.

Love this eye doctor.

Little bit of a wait. But worth it.

Reviewed labs and my concerns. Made a referral as needed. Was on time and spent the time necessary to discuss concerns.

I was treated very efficiently. Only comment I can make is that only 1 of the staff introduced themselves when caring for me.

Besides the waiting time everyone was great.

Dr Mandese very knowledgeable and got me some specs that minimize my double vision. Highly recommended.

My visit was satisfactory

Dr. Mandese is personable. He put me at ease as soon as he greeted me. He reviewed my chart and provided an expert explanation for my eyes. He is thorough. He listens. If you are looking for a good eye doctor, give Dr. Mandese an opportunity to provide his services.

Enjoy going I never have to wait long which is nice.

Dr Straut and his staff are very courteous and extremely knowledgeable. I was not diagnosed correctly at the ER but Dr Straut knew immediately what the issue was and had a solid treatment plan in minutes after examing my eyes. I would highly recommend Dr Straut and his team.
