Reviews

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

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

Always happy with quality of service

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

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

Very good

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

Everyone is friendly and efficient. My appointment took about an hour including the tests they did.

Very thorough and professional.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pleasant and professional. gave easy to understand explanations and options.

professional and thorough. explained issues in easy-to-understand terms.

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

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

The best eye Doctor in the county.

Examination was very thorough and everything was well explained.

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

Dr. Mandese has been taking care of our eyes for many years and we have never had a bad experience. He has always been above and beyond w/our eye care.

Very knowledgeable and efficient. Personalized discussion of all issues.

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

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

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

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

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

Kind, knowledgeable doctors. All assistants are considerate and knowledgeable.

This is a very kind and professional team, starting from the front desk staff all the way to Dr Mandese!!

Caring staff and Dr. Darlington

Dr. Mandesee and Atlantic Eye Consultants were delayed in providing timely service by 90 minutes.

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

Great serve is great experience. Very professional

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

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

Dr and staff were awesome

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

Exam thorough . Staff very helpful and friendly

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

Super outstanding care.

Every time went fine.

Quick nice and a total pleasure

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

Excellent

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

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

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

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

Excellent

Always excellent professional, and knowledgeable

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

polite and professional and answered all my questions.

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

Smooth first visit. Organized and efficient.

Great office well run

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

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

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

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

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

Wonderful thank you

Personable, thorough, an all round pleasure..

The office staff is efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. But best of all is Dr. Darlington. Although a doctor of few words, he is an expert at his craft. Very talented and quick.

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

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

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

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

Excellent

Always friendly and professional.

Service was wonderful

EXCEPTIONAL STAFF, AND DR DARLINGTON IS A EXCEPTIONAL EYE SPECIALIST

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

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

Real nice staff

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

Best care anywhere.

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

He is very thorough and courteous

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

Very professional and friendly staff

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

Overall great service

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

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

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

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

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

Exam is very thorough and Dr. Mandese explains everything

Dr. Straut addressed all my concerns

The experience with Dr Darlington and his staff was very good

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

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

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

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

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

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

Through and professional

Two hours for an eye examination is much too long.

Short waiting time and efficient review of my eye pressure.

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

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

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

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

Professional highly recommended

Very professional highly recommended

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Superb attention.

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

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

professionals, quick and has a pleasant staff

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

Great way of interacting

Excellent job, fast courteous service Very pleased

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

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

Knowledgeable and friendly staff

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

Wonderful medical facility and Dr. Straut is great.

I appreciate how well Dr. Straut always takes care of my eyes.

Love this doctor. He is not rushed and explains things well.

Everyone at business was nice to me. Only thing that bothered me was seeing the girl (young black girl with long hair) on her phone when she was idle.

easy to talk to, interested in pt problems, good teacher

Great eye doctor, have had Dr Straut for many years and will until I’m gone. He is a very concerned doctor for his patients wellbeing. Very kind person.

Very good Everyone is very professional

He did an excellent job

I love the center. Everyone was very kind. Professional and helpful. I recommended this center and doctos to anyone that needs eye care.

He did an excellent job.

The staff at both the surgical center in Viera and his office in Melbourne were not only efficient .... but also managed to be pleasant and friendly.

My surgery was just 24 hours ago. I am truly amazed at how smoothly and quickly everything was. Absolutely everyone, from the front desk to the petson.who wheeled me out to the car, were exceptional. Super friendly, thorough and professional. I had zero anxiety. Can't wait to get my 2nd eye done.

It was great a very geeat eye doctor very carein

Took the time to answer all my questions and address all my concerns.

I really like Dr. Mandese. He always makes me feel relaxed and explains everything so I understand.

Very good and very professional

Staff is amazing, everyone is helpful and always positive attitudes

I have had a great experience every time I have been to Dr. Straut's office. He is an excellent eye doctor and answers all of my questions. He takes time with his patients and his office is a "well oiled" machine with very pleasant assistants that pay attention to the patients.

Efficient visit with the technician and the doctor after a moderately long wait.

Timely, professional care

I always receive excellent care from Dr Staut

Wonderful appointment! Very professional

very professional.. only Dr. and staff I trust

Did not have enough time to ask questions.

Dr. Darlington is the best, he takes his time, he explains everything to you where we can understand (not in medical lingo) My experience has been nothing but the best & the staff is always so upbeat & happy & always so awesome to work with. I would definitely recommend him & his staff to anyone & everyone.

A totally professional experience of many tests, some are new and for me, groundbreaking. I’ve never felt any part of my body so well looked at before. Highly recommend!

Pleasant and efficient. Great care.

I had an appointment and it went quick. I was in waiting room for not even 5 minutes. They brought me back swiftly. The whole staff was friendly and informing. Once the doctor came in he looked at my eyes and my problems and did many different things and checks. He told me what was wrong ,explained what it was and why it happened he then went over the rest of my eyes and any problems I had and made sure I was completely understanding of what was wrong. All in all it was a great appointment and I would recommend anyone to go here as well. Thanks!

Excellent experience.

Great staff

Great staff and Dr. Straut is great with people. Been seeing him for 6 years now.

I really like his work and information to help me understand. I sent my friend to him already. She liked him too.

Great place. Everyone is very friendly and professional

As usual was a terrific visit. Everyone is warm, friendly. And very competent. Also great at explaining procedures. No time is wasted. Every procedure Dr. Darlington does has great results. Only half of our months are spent in FL but we are careful to schedule all our eye apps with Dr. Darlington as he gives us such confidence in his expertise. Best place, Doc & team. Recommend you to anyone who asks!!

This office is great. There was hardly any waiting time. They moved quickly between rooms for various procedures. When I finally went in the room for the doctor he came in within 2 minutes. He took the time to listen to me and gave me a good report. He has a great friendly manner. I recommend him highly

I am always blown away with how professional the staff are at your office. The always treat me so friendly. I n the exam room thy tell me and explain what they are going to. I appreciate that.

Good

Dr.

Dr. Straut and the staff are absolutely wonderful. Always listening, patient, professional, and giving the best care at appointments. I would highly recommend this office to anyone in need of eye care.

Dr. Straut is always kind, professional and very attentive.

Dr straut went over my treatment options and answered my questions. Very good care. Thanks.

I was on vacation in Orlando when I noticed my left eye had no vision. My son and I visited Atlantic Eye Consultants and thankfully Dr. Mandese was able to see me and examine my eye. It was determined that I had a detached retina. I was able to fly back home to Washington State where surgery will be Monday. My experience was super, not with the eye but with the doctor and all his staff. Truly a very caring and professional clinic. Thank you

Fast, efficient & easy If I had know how good life (vision) would be afterwards I would have had the cataract surgeries as much earlier as possible.

Easy in, easy out

Very professional and caring. Thanks for such good care c

Dr. Straut has always been great—takes his time and carefully explains issues, listens well, and answers any and all questions. The only down side to the visit it that it always takes so long - over an hour. But I will keep coming back as I know I getting high quality care.

Professional service courtesye and respectful.

Hi, I’ve been coming to Dr Darlington for about three years now and I had two corny operations and everything turned out real fine. He still working on my left eye, but he’s a very good very good professional doctor good of everything and what he does and I’m one of his best patience. He even gave me an I five on my hand which he shook instead of just bumping it so I’m a special one, but thank you very much. A matter fact I’ll give you a referral for it and that’s my wife so I’ll be needing to make an appointment for her And I’ll be calling next week to find out maybe what she can do to maybe have her eyes checked thank you very much. Happy Halloween John Joseph Michael Schuler.

Good all around experience with the staff and Dr

Very knowledgeable and attentive.

This was my first visit with Dr. Straut and his team. They were all very personable and knowledgeable. It was a great experience. Would definitely recommend them.

Excellent service

Very well organized! The vast majority of questions are answered before they are brought up. The decor is also very soothing. So we'll organizes!

Dr. Darlington is an excellent eye surgeon. Among other things, he asks if you have any questions and listens to what you have to say. I feel safe and confident when he is performing cataract surgery. I will be having my second cataract surgery in a few weeks.

Very detailed explanation of my eyesight issues. Very professional.

I only have positive results from my visits with Dr. Darlington

Very professional. He explains everything in detail.

Highly recommend Dr. Darlington. Very competent, explains his findings, answered questions, and no sales pitches. Definitely will schedule again.

The eye exam by the tech appeared to be an act of major inconvenience for her. She tested the right eye in the usual fashion. The left eye was tested with ONE image only (which I could not see) and the exam was over. I am well aware of the process of eye testing. This feel far short of even the most rudimentary exam. This doctor may be a great technician but his bedside manner is atrocious. Condescending.

I love walking in a doctor's office with people that are friendly and make you feel comfortable even the doctor. Five stars

In and out on time, very thorough.

Had eye issue in morning. Called and they got me in by 930am.

Dr Straut has always been a great compassionate and empathetic doctor! I would recommend him to anyone.

DR. STRAUT and team associates are very polite and make your feel comfortable while being seen. I have always had my faith and trust with all of the staff. Will be seeing you Jan 28th 2026. Happy Holidays remember the reason for the season.

Service was great and everybody had a great attitude!

More than satisfied with Dr. Darlington as always!

I was very nervous, and the office staff helped me to relax with their casual conversation. They were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions but still encouraged me to address my concerns with Dr. Mandese. After meeting the doctor, I understood the calmness in the office after all everything trinkles down. I am so happy that I chose his office.

I have always found my visits with Doctor Mandese to be thorough, professional, courteous and completely satisfactory. His experience and expertise in treating double vision has been extremely helpful. The facility is extremely clean and the staff is very personable, experienced and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Mandese.

Dr. Mandese is very thorough and helpful. He listens intently. He also goes above and beyond what is expected. I highly recommend him.

Perfect, thank you!

Kind and compassionate doctor, always takes the time to discuss your care plan going forward and answers any questions you might have. Would definitely recommend Dr. Mandese to family and friends.

I saw Dr. Darlington due to a cyst that had formed on my eye. He removed it quickly and painlessly. I thought I would need it removed surgically, but he did it on the spot. He had a good steady hand and within 10 minutes, it was removed and I left his office. My eye had some redness to it, but within hours, everything had cleared up. I would highly recommend him if you have cornea or other eye issues. Thank you Dr. Darlington.

All the staff in this practice is very professional, courteous, compassionate. Three members of our family are patients of Atlantic Eye Cons. and we are all very pleased with the services they provide. Even the they are very busy they find time to treat you well.

Dr. Darlington is quick and thorough. My surgeries from start to finish were smooth and worry free. He answered all of my questions. I'd recommend him for all of your eye care needs.

Overall experience was excellent. The staff is friendly and act in a professional way.

I have been going to Dr M for over three years and, despite the distance from my home, I have found the visits to be well worth it. Dr M is the most compassionate, competent and capable Opthamologist on the Treasure Coast. I had lived in Vero Beach since 2011 and had been a patient at all of the BIG NAME BIG BUILDING ophthalmologists in town. All of them had diagnosed my dry eye condition, but it was only when I saw Dr M that something was actually done to combat it. I guess the clowns in Vero Beach were more concerned with their next social outing than the condition of my eyes. I would recommend Dr M to anyone who insists on high quality, professional eye care.

All the techs and the Doctor was very helpful and knowledgeable and let me feel safe.

Every one in the Office are courteous and professional

Dr. Darlington is very thorough in his work and is a good follow-through. He And his staff are very professional.

Dr. Straut always stays on top of my eye care. Because I have had a problem in the past with my right eye, Dr. Straut sees me every 6 months to run vision tests and take pictures of the my eye to see if there are any changes. I trust his expertise and knowledge.

Dr. Straut and his Staff are very personal and professional. They will be attentive to all your optical needs.
