I was seen energently and received a thorough check of my eye. Results were faxed to my eye doctor in Missouri for quick follow-up.

I came in without an appointment because of concerns about an eye infection. Dr. Straut was very thorough, personable, and quick to assess what was wrong with my eye. He's my new eye doctor now!!

well done very professional

Being scared of the unknown . I couldn't see well at all. Who is this person? I can see clearly now due to Aker Eye Team. Eye issues? Akers is the best in every aspect.Thankyou Team.

Good except for the mixup between the assistants causing me to have my eyes dilated twice.

Dr. Darlington and all the staff are very friendly.

Takes time to explain everything

From the moment he entered the room, Dr. Straut put me at ease with his caring manner and professionalism taking time to listen to my concerns. After diagnosing my problem he alleviated my fears by thoroughly explaining my condition and reassuring me that if I encountered any further problems he could provide the needed treatment. I have highly recommended him to friends.

Dr Straut seems to care about his patients

In my recent annual vision check at The Eye Institute for Medicine & Surgery – PB, I was again reminded of how efficient and professional a healthcare operation could be. The environment was clean and comfortable; the staff was friendly and well-trained. Dr. Mandese was appropriately thorough with his observations documented for future comparisons. He was patient, he answered my questions. My exam was a quick and painless experience. Vision is priceless. I highly recommend that you protect yours with an annual exam by Dr. Mandese, at The Eye Institute for Medicine & Surgery – PB.

Dr. Straut makes me feel like a welcome family member and is very patient with my repetitive questions. He is so knowlegable, I want him to know how confident I feel in his care. Thank you.

I felt very rushed this appointment

Everything went fine

He is to the point. He knows his specialty.

The team was very prompt, professional and competent. Doctor was very focused.

Very professional , kind and caring

6 month dry eye plugs. In and out in 5 minutes

I find Dr. Straut and his staff friendly and professional. I have had a positive experience each time I have an appointment. I am grateful, also, to be enjoying life after cataract surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Straut.

Dr. Darlington is highly competent but could maybe use a little more ‘bed side manner’. I understand he has many patients to see every day but maybe he could be just a ‘little’ more laidback. Maybe he should consider writing a book.

Dr Mandese and staff are very professional

Dr. Mandese listens! He is concerned about my problems, takes time to listen to my concerns and gives me his professional opinion on steps to take to get better. I respect his opinion and his professionalism!

Dt. Mandesse provides excellent service. His detailed examination was conducive to developing a plan for the improvement of my vision.

I can say that I was very impressed with the staff and Dr Mandese, they didn’t make me wait , saw me in a timely manner and was very professional and kind. I would highly recommend him and this office.

Dr Mandese and his entire staff are very professional and caring. I completely trust Dr Mandese he is incredibly kind I am blessed to have him as my Doctor.

He has helped me with my dry eyes.

Each time I see Dr. Mandese I feel so confident in what he says and his plan that’s going to help me see better. He listens to my concerns and addresses them in the way I understand. He’s friendly and his staff are great. From the time you walk in until you leave you don’t have to worry about the treatment you will receive. It’s going to be great.

Dr Straut is kind and knowledgeable. I've had problems and he always has the solution. I'm very thankful he is my Dr.

Got both eyes done and I couldn’t be happier , it’s only been a week but so far so good. I was very impressed with the whole system, and really enjoyed my time with Jessie and Robin atthe surgery center, they were very kind and very professional but still had great sense of humors which is very appreciated when you are nervous as a patient. Keep up the great work, I will highly recommend Dr. Darlington to anyone that asks. Sincerely Barbara Harris

The staff is very professional, office is clean in sanitary. If you have any questions about the problem or the reason you visit the office they explain very well…. Thank you

Had dr mandese for now over 25 years need I say more?

Very nice

Excellent care

I have been going to Dr. Darlington for approximately seven years. In that time he has performed four surgeries Also, I went to see Dr. Darlington one time because I could not see in one eye And he got me in to see Dr. Vaishnov because he knew I had a retina problem. Dr Vaishnov was a fantastic surgeon as well. The office is run like a well oiled machine. And the office staff is fantastic.

Dr Mandese is polite and He takes very good care of his patients.

I had a short wait time.

Dr. Straut is GREAT but I also want to recognize his assistant "Brooke" who is fantastic with her knowledge and patience to obtain the best eye vision examination results. She is as good, if not better, than some opticians I have seen over many years. David Burns

Always impressed by Dr. Straut's skill, knowledge and concern to insure the best treatment for me. David Burns

Dr. Mandese is very thorough, explains issues well, is pleasant, caring and listens to you. I have every confidence in him for my eye care and double vision. I would definitely recommend him.

Professional, great personality. Definitely knows what he's doing. I highly recommend this office/practice.

The office of very efficient with keeping on schedule and doctor stays on time but answers any questions

He is always up beat, polite, and concerned about his patients. Best of all, he knows what is needed.

He’s awesome

From the receptionist to the check out, all personnel involved in our visit were great. Truly enjoyed my time with Dr. Darlington.

Dr Mandesie was amazing. He put my spiraling mind at ease. He made me feel confident in his diagnosis. I was very happy when I was done.

Dr. Darlington is very efficient, thorough and understanding of your needs. I trust Dr. Darlington's expertise and feel very comfortable in his care. I was warned up front that it may seem a bit hectic in the practice, as it is extremely busy. It's busy for a reason - they are fantastic. If you're new to the practice, be patient and understand that the care you receive will be the best in this area. It's certainly worth the wait. Laura Roan Hays

Dr. Mandese was very friendly, thorough, comforting and reassuring!!

Impressive streamlined operation designed to efficiently get patients needs met without out waiting hours as in other practices.

He and his staff are very professional and through

He is a very good Dr so kind and staff was awesome! Big plus

New facility is as hectic as the old one. Great doctors have lots of patients but they don’t prefer to be rushed especially after waiting too long to get checked in and waiting much more in the waiting room to be called in. After that things went smoothly. I hate to see the staff and Dr Darlington work so hard to keep up with all their patients. Maybe they need to schedule fewer patients per hour, and/or get more help. Don’t want dr or anyone to burn out!

Dr. Straut is very direct, informative and is in tune with his patients needs and concerns.

Dr. Straut and his team are very professional in all aspects of their operation. Could highly recommend.

I am very happy with the results of my cataract surgery ,the staff, the facility and Dr. Darlington have all been great!

Rock star!

Excellent procedure. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I felt rushed through the process, little patient and staff interaction. I am confident in the Dr and staff, I will have my second cateract removed next week with Dr.Darlington.

Excellent service both Dr and staff made you feel like they cared. Would highly recommend them

Not happy at all with the results I received. I would never recommend the service that I received from Dr Darlington to anyone that I know. If you want to talk to me about it let me know.

I had cataract surgery yesterday with Dr. Darlington. Today I have 2020 vision in that eye. I am very happy to be able to see so well after many years of needing glasses to see at a distance! Dr. Darlington and his staff are great!

A great experience always and they are careful to explain what is going on and very understanding

Dr Straut is knowledgeable, thorough, and professional! I have been his patient for over 10 years, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an optometrist!

Very professional, on time, pleasant experience. All personnel first class

Dr, Darlington and his staff are always efficient and helpful.

Now seven weeks later I still had multiple flashes of light in my left eye when I in certain light conditions (walking around the house, sitting beside a lamp). Also my vision in both eyes is not as good as I was promised.

Very professional and explained everything he going to do. Reviewed the results of the examination with me

Excellent. He is a little short on your initial visits, but becomes much more social and better on folllow-ups. He is an excellent eye Doc!

I had a very thorough exam.

Very professional and caring

Outstanding seemless process from check-in to exiting. All staff proficient at their jobs. I was well attended to, each step explained, answered questions to my satisfaction. When wheeled into procedure room all went smoothly and without pain of any sort. After care instructions were easy to follow. I had little discomfort post-op. Nothing to fear!

Great! Everyone is so friendly and Professional, and fast service. New location is more centrally located.

I always feel better after I see Dr Straut. I know he is watching out for me and if he thinks I need to see a specialist he would be the first to refer me! I am totally happy and confident in his care!

Every time I have an appointment with Dr. Straut it is a pleasure. Staff at the front desk greet me warmly, and checks me in and out efficiently. Dr. Straut is great, explaining everything in a friendly manner.

I was visiting family when I had an unexpected urgent issue with my eye. Dr. Mandes treated me so kindly and explained everything to me that was causing my issue. He explained the meds he prescribed and he told me in detail how to take care of my eye. I was truly blessed to have been treated by him!

Wonderful doctor and wonderful staff. Great waiting times and overall experience.

Very good

Love Dr. Straut and his team!

Dr Straut is excellent! I started to go to him about a year ago when my previous doctor went to a different practice. I am 100% satisfied. He was very detailed in his testing and observation of my eyes and he found a little problem that was so small he could have missed it, but he didn't. Luckily for me, it resolved itself. He's follows me and sets up appointments when needed. A very affable approachable doctor and is open to any concerns.

So far, since you moved to the new location, I don’t have to wait so long to be seen. Big improvement.

Excellent had to wait long time for appointment

Staff was professional, friendly, office was clean and inviting.

Initial evaluation for cataract surgery - was seen quickly - staff was very through - Dr. Darlington was easy going - explained the process and options

I found all of the staff to be patient while doing tests and very gracious in answering all my questions.

Great doctor but the waiting time not so good.

Everyone is professional and helpful

Routine visit. But Doc saw a serious problem and immediately took action. No nonsense, quality, efficient and effective. My kind of guy!

Noon on Firday, my eye was starting to hurt. I had a skin rash also and decided that I really needed to see an eye doc NOW. As, if I needed a doc later, the ER usually does not have an eye doc and I would not want to have to wait til Monday . Dr Straut, my normal eye doc, took me in - THANKS!!

Excellent explanation of my eye sight problem. Looking forward to my new and improved reading glasses.

Dr. Mandese is always very thorough, informative and professional during our eye exams.

effective

Dr Straut was very informative and took gis time with me. Was very patient as well.

I just completed may the last visit with dr.Darlington, after having cataract surgery, completed in both eyes. It was a wonderful experience.And now both my eyes are at twenty twenty. My vision had gotten pretty bad before the surgery. Now it is nice to be able to see clearly again. From beginning to end, the whole experience was terrific. Everyone was so helpful and the process was explained clearly step by step as we went through each visit

The Doctor and All His Staff was Very Concerned about my eye as I had a piece of Metal in it. I felt very comfortable with him. He was Very Confident in his ability to get the rust ring out and get my vision back to normal!

A very pleasant and dress free environment.

Professionalism and expertise personified. Dr. Darlington is a truly gifted eye surgeon who really knows his craft and stands behind his work to make sure his patients are beyond satisfied. I surely am. No more glasses and 20/20 vision again at 70! And he surrounds himself with friendly, competent nurses and office pros!

The whole process for my cataract surgery was quick and painless. Seemed to only take between 5 and 10 minutes.

Dr Strout is very experienced and knowledgeable. He maintains eye contact. He takes his time to explain and reassure us. His voice carries well and we hear him clearly. A bonus as one ages.

He is compassionate and professional. Skilled and knowledgeable and I had a great outcome. The staff is pleasant and very caring.

Been a patient for20+ years. He is very friendly and professional. Prompt and very thorough. Answers all my questions satisfactorily.

Dr. Mandese is very professional and kind. My exam was extremely thorough, and he explained my results and treatment plan with me immediately. I highly recommend Dr. Mandese!

Dr Mandese has been my eye doctor for at least 6-10 years. He is the best. He cares about his patients and provides the best care. He takes his time and talks to you.

Dr. Mandes is very thorough by explaining clearly what is happening and answers all of my questions. He doesn’t rush the appointment and I feel comfortable from the moment I enter the office.

The right eye cataract surgery went fine, no issues. When I had a laser surgery on left eye, I wound up next morning with eye inflammation, redness & watery eye which were all signs of Iritis which is treated with prednisone drops and was documented in my history that I suffer with Chronic Iritis. When I called 3 times (left voice mail messages) to ask if I can use my prednisone drops which is the correct method to treat this Iritis, I was told no when someone from the ofc at 3pm finally returned my call that I must see the Dr. & I could only make an apt on Friday in Merritt Island while he was already scheduled to do surgery and NOT to see patients. I would think that would be called a post opt visit which could have taken all of 5 mins and to be seen at the surgical center. I had to call my previous ophthalmologist for an apt who saw me immediately and I was given the prednisone drops. Then I was given an eye exam and the prescription only had vision site for distance and not for reading. I have worn progressive lenses for over 30 years and was never told I would need reading glasses or why the Dr. Did not think it was necessary to provide a script to include reading vision. I was disappointed and just rushed out and then the Dr. stated, it’s rare but sometimes the laser can cause Iritis inflammation…..I’ll stick with my former ophthalmologist any day.

best Doc to have for your eyes.

He's amazing and very nice. Great, friendly knowledgeable staff!

Very pleasant

Always knowledgeable and thorough

Mad skills with everyone I came in contact with. Sue put me @ ease during testing but I failed to get the others names. Dr. Darlington lives up to his name….so nice, calming & easy on the eyes lol. The fist bump really got me!!

Dr. Straut is professional and pleasant, and willing and able to explain test results, findings, and possible treatments and outcomes in terms a patient can understand.

Very short wait times. The doctor is friendly and thorough. The nurses and staff are also very friendly. I can't think of anything negative to say.

Dr. Straut is what you would hope for in a Physician. Knowledgeable & Kind!

staff as well as Doctor very pleasant.

The best

I have had the pleasure of receiving excellent care by Dr. Darlington over the past few years as I have received a successful cornea transplant and cataract removal by him. His expertise and follow-up care have been greatly appreciated and I look forward to receiving his top notch eye care service moving forward.

Dr. M is the best! I would recommend him to my family and friends.

On time. Dr Straut did a good job explaining my eye condition.

Timely appointment and questions answered.

Dr. Mendese is very professional, and very compassionate about his work. I would highly recommend him to my friends and business associates.

Absolutely the best . Staff is very friendly. And Dr Mandese is the absolute best. I trust him with my sight, and thats saying alot!.

Great Doctor, go see him.

Very professional and friendly office with excellent Doctor and staff. I have been going here for years and recommend them to all of my friends and family!

100% faith in Dr. Straut.

Very good experience and I came home and told my wife that she needs to make an appointment with your practice.

Everyone was professional in their services!

Dr Straut was great!! Everyone from front desk to the exam room were very professional!

I had an emergency situation and they made accommodations to take me in. I have been a patient for several years and their level of care is always top notch.

Had a problem with my eye swelling shut. They got me in the same day I called. Checked me out gave me two prescriptions and I'm back on my way to problem solved. They are friendly professional caring people. I trust my eyes to DR. Straut ....

For many years, he has been the only doctor who can pull out eye lashes the right way.

I see Dr. Straut because I take a medication that could harm my eyes. Even though he has to be quick, he always asks about my family, and genuinely listens to any eye concerns I might have.

Very prompt and informative answered all my questions

My experience was great. It’s always wonderful to see a doctor who listens before he talks. I feel like I was heard which meant a lot to me. I’ve been on a roller coaster of emotions and frankly, scared. Dr. Michael Mandese gave me the detailed truthful information I needed. It wasn’t all good news but better understood my condition, what caused it and what to expect going forward. Knowledge is everything and I appreciate him more I can say. I recommend Dr. Mandese without reservation.

Was very pleased with the Dr & the staff, they guided me in the right direction to get my eye back to normal. Very much appreciated! Professionals!

Dr. Mandese is very thorough and takes the time to explain everything!

Excellent

The staff were very professional

Very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable with my opinions. The staff was friendly and efficient.

I am very comfortable with the the service I receive, so yes I will definitely recommend anyone to Atlantic Eye.

Everyone i met was great! Dr Darlington is professional in his approach and pleasant

Very good he takes time.

Dr Straut is very qualified, knowledgeable and is an excellent communicator.

Dr Strout has been the family go to since 2017 upon our arrival in FL. Four of us have experienced his professional duty and care for various visual needs. Dr Strout has been personable, friendly, and knowledgeable in our interactions with him. Thank you Dr Strout for your due diligence with us. CH

I have tremendous confidence in Dr. Darlington. He is an expert. He has a no nonsense straightforward approach. Takes time to answer my questions. After successfully operating on my cataracts my vision has improved dramatically. My wife is a patient as well.

I was very satisfied with Dr Mandese and the staff at Atlantic Eye Consultants. It was prompt and professional service. I feel like I was well taken care of and impressed with Dr Mandese.

After 6+ appointments, usually little wait to be seen. Medical explanations in layman's terms and easy to understand. Questions welcomed and fully answered. I have no reason to go elsewhere. Highest recommendation.

I enjoyed the experience very much. All the staff was vertfriendly an professional. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Dr. Darlington did the surgery on my eye lids and cataracts. It was done with ease and both with successful. I am very pleased with both surgeries.

Overall very good experience. We did have to wait a little bit longer than usual.

Great Dr. From the receptionist in the office to the surgical unit group, everyone was very professional.

I was extremely pleased with Dr. Darlington and his staff and my recent cataract surgery. The support team was awesome from the ladies in the office to all the nurses and support staff, they are all knowledgeable, friendly/kind and well trained. Their efficiency and personal confidence gave me confidence. I was honestly nervous about the surgery but after meeting them and watching them work I was emboldened. Dr. Darlington was very friendly and outgoing, helping me to feel calm and protected. He was engaging with the staff and me in friendly banter. Telling me just wait till I saw the light show, which was awesome. I’m actually looking forward to having my second eye done in another week. Need some cataract work done? Dr. Darlington and his staff are the folks to see.

Very cool doctor

Prompt and professional

As I’m scheduled to have surgery soon, I had questions and concerns that I wanted to share with Dr Darlington. I was very pleased that he took the time to answer my questions and ease my concerns. Just knowing that we’re n the same page gives me peace of mind.

Many thanks for scheduling me so quickly, to fulfill requirements for my driver's license. All the personnel were friendly and relaxed - taking time to answer questions and just "interact." Blessings to all....... Overda

All staff and doctor took all the time I needed and answered all my questions with patience.

Would liked to have spent a little more time with the doctor but everything went very well.

Almost no wait. The whole office is on point and works well.

I am lucky enough to have Dr Mandese take care of my vision problems. He is a gem - considerate (runs on time), thorough, intelligent, patient and kind. He is a great communicator and explains everything without being condescending. I feel completely confident in his knowledge- this is one REALLY SMART DOCTOR and I truly appreciate having him care for my vision. You can’t find better - choose him and then stick with him.

Efficient. Timely. Professional

It was an 1 1/2 hrs waiting. Doctor was very good

Dr Straut is a total professional so fortunate to have him as my eye specialist!

Thorough and fast

No wait. Put plugs in eyes. Took just two minutes. Exceptional skills in this area.

He is professional, knowledgeable and the first person that actually gave me hope that my Thyroid Eye Disease could improve. I truly believe that it would have continued to progress without his care. He has been a blessing for me.

Absolutely amazing! I highly recommend Dr. Mandese. He's not only thorough but truly cares. I am so lucky that I found him!

Great doctor. Very professional and knowledgeable.

He was sincere about my condition and knowledable. He gave instructions on how to care for my eyes and the best thing to use for them.

Was an awesome 1st time here. Well organized and the doctors was pleasant and explained everything in details.

Doctor appears competent, but the staff does not respond well to patient inquiries.

Dr Straut very nice and knowledgeable. He’s always made me feel comfortable and confident I really recommend him. He’s really really nice.

For the most part this visit went well. I have concerns with prep to getting to the Dr. The preenrollment and checkin was terrible, none of the electronic links or tablet worked! The reception ladies were very helpful and accommodating! Not sure why one has to go to so many rooms for prep work/testing, why can't they do it all in one room?

Thrilled you now have an office in Merritt Island. I live 2 blocks from your office. I was in and out for my yearly exam in an hour. Dr. Darlington and his staff always go the extra mike and are knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. Highly recommend!

Excellent in every way!!!

Dear Dr. Straut, Is a Doctor others can learn from. His tests for my eye problems was impressive. He printed off copies of his tests and said because I had several things to be addressed. It was important that I go to the emergency room immediately. He took the time to write a letter with specific instructions of what tests the emergency room should run. The ER Doctor read his letter and performed all tests he requested. Dr. Straut, set up for me to meet his colleague who specializes in an area that my test results show what action is needed. Excellent Doctor he is focused on your well being. He is Good. It was a gift from God to have such a Doctor help me. Christopher Salmon

Dr Straut was very helpful and answered and explained all my questions on the visit.

Great Dr and speak Spanish a little

Dr Straut was very knowledgeable and professional but also kind! I would recommend him to family and friends!

Great Service and accurate for the eyes ! Dr knows what he doing like him!

Excellent eye doctor. I really appreciate his advice and knowledge about cataracts. After having surgery now, I can see better than I did with glasses!

People are nice, seem well prepared. But the wait is so long between seeing different specialists. I probably was seen for a total of 15 minutes but was there for 2 hours, waiting to see the next person.

Quick and easy

Very pleased with everything and received great care and attention by everyone.

Excellent we my Mother & I are very happy. Doctor is very cordial concern.

Very knowageable,easy to talk to.

Very professional and very thorough I felt very comfortable there

Have been seeing Dr. Darlington for years for a dry eye disease. I like the new place better than the old establishment he was with. This one is just as efficient, but seems a little friendlier and less stringent. Especially the front desk staff.

Always an excellent experience with Dr. Mendese. He’s patient, attentive, highly skilled, informative, and cordial.

Has taken good care of my vision sine we arrived in 2015. Determined I DO have a problem and got me appointed to solve it. Hope he can add to information for my VA claim.

Excellent exam and update from Dr.

All good very happy

Dr. Darlington and his staff are great to work with. I am pleased with the surgery results.

I went in for a procedure and Dr Darlington found a problem. Referred me to another specialist to look at the problem. Which I appreciate he could have just went ahead with the procedure but, wanted to do what was best for me. I’m so thankful.

I was called back within five or 10 minutes of arriving. After getting the drops in my eyes, I was put in the dark room for no longer than 10 minutes when I was taken back to see the doctor. The doctor explained the procedure and asked if I had any questions.

undermined.

In and out quickly took the time to explain finding and answering questions

Very good experience!

Dr mandese is the best ever and his assistant was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Great service, will always come here for my eye care.

The office staff was great! Caring, compassionate and got me in to be seen within 2 hours of my call. My eye was swollen (inside as well as the surrounding area) and it came on rather suddenly. Dr. Darlington came in, examined my eye through equipment and was able to quickly identify the cause, then told me to increase the steroid eyedrops to every 2 hours. I saw improvement within 12 hours! I'm grateful to Dr. Darlington and his team for all they did!

Everyone at the office were very kind and dr darlington was very professional and explained the procedure very well.

I see Dr. Darlington for dry eyes. There was a very short wait to see him and a quick procedure to put the plugs in.

I have been seeing Dr. Mandese for about eight years now I am very happy with him. He’s a wonderful doctor. He’s very thorough and explains everything.

My experience was very good. A little wait but not bad. I like to think if I needed extra time with the doctor I would get it, which means a strict schedule is impossible. Exam was thorough and my my vision is good.

The Doctor was really professional and I had a great experience there

Lots of great staff. Dr Darlington is top of my professional list. He affirms my diagnosis and keeps watching every six months! My California glaucoma eye specialist and my ophthalmologist both highly recommended Dr Darlington's credentials.
