Reviews

My experience was very smooth and efficient cataract surgery. Everyone was pleasant, understanding, and knowledgeable.

Appointment started on time. Dr. Straut is very knowledgeable and explained the results of the diagnostics. Dr. Straut provided potential long term procedures to improve my eyesight that I had never heard of. I am very pleased with Dr. Straut.

Dr. Straut was very friendly and knowledgeable. He listened patiently to my comments ,which was much appreciated!

he may be a good Doctor, but I've had 2 appointments with him and had to wait over 2 hours to see him. My time is valuable also! So, if you don't mind waiting 2 hours I guess he's a good Dr.

Real good!!

Staff is amazing.

Excellent interaction with everyone.

Staff and doctor are pleasant and professional.

The best!!! Dr M is super.

All staff are very nice and Doctor Darlington gave me clear information . Thank you all

With multiple tests the flow and timing went smoothly.

very nice

It was excellent except for the delay . My appointment was for 3:30 and I left at 5pm

Best Doctor around for eye movement disorders!! I spent YEARS and thousands of dollars going to every professional and still could not see! What a relief to have Dr. Mandese in Rockledge to give the gift of sight!

On time and Dr M is a genious.

Very thorough exam and follow up discussion!

Follow up was done thoroughly and professionally.

Always happy with the complete office operation!

Very knowledgeable staff.

What I expected very professional.

Excellent Dr. Very kind, professional and courteous. Got my surgical procedure scheduled, to be within 3 weeks. Office personnel are so nice and everyone there is so helpful and supportive. I’ve been recommending him to everyone I know for the past 3 years. Just love everyone there ♥️

Always welcoming, seems to care about patient's ongoing care and treatment

A bit of a wait but worth it once the staff sees you.

Dr. Darlington is always right on with his diagnoses and the treatments always work out just fine. Atlantic Eye is a vast improvement over the last group! That guy put the wrong lens in my eye after cataract removal and offered a sketchy solution so I turned to Dr Darlington and have been happy since then.

My eye is doing great and I always tell everyone about Dr. Darlington and how awesome he is. One thing I don’t like is that every time I have an appointment I get there early and I have to wait over an hour or more to be seen. I’m not retired I have a job that I can’t afford to miss 2 hours of work from so that bothers me. Thanks!

Dr Darlington and staff are friendly, caring and thorough in the testing, directions, and information they part. The Doctor went over my test and explained what needed to be done and the next steps to be taken. I trust them with issues I have with my sight.

Dr Mandese is EXCELLENT! I highly recommend him. Very knowledgeable, patience & answers all your concerns w/compassion!!

I was treated very well and thoroughly by Dr. Straut and his associates. Everyone makes you feel conformable. He addressed my concerns and explained the glaucoma diagnosis and the drops treatment.

Polite and efficient

The office is extremely professional and helpful. Dr. Straut was knowledgeable and punctual, I was in and out quickly.

Relatively early morning appointment - few patients so I was in and out. Staff was cheerful and helpful. Dr. Straut was pleasant, got to work and willing to answer any questions.

I was treated very well and thoroughly by Dr. Straut and his associates. I was pleased with the result as I didn't need a new prescription and have no eye disorder.

Great doctor, thorough exam, patient questions encouraged. Great staff as well. Dr. Mandese has taken care of my eyes for MANY years. High quality care!

Great experience! Thank you@

I have been a patient of Dr Mandese for a lot of years, and have been completely satisfied with the care I have recieved. He always takes his time, I never feel rushed, and the staff from the front desk to his assistants are just great.

I think the visit was an awfully long visit in total. I was taken care of very well by all the personnel. Thank you.

I left a Text about how my eyes are doing with the eye drops given to me by Dr. Straut. Dr. Straut is a Specialist that specializes with Dry Eyes. My eyes are doing so much better. Margot Richards Birckhead

Dr Darlington is an excellent Dr, makes you feel at ease and answers any questions you may have. I would highly recommend him .

Wonderful doctor and staff. Gave me thorough explanation on what was going on with my eye and what to expect. Very congenial!!!

Excellent experience. Dr Darlington is very professional and extremely confident with his work. I would highly recommend their office.

fine

Perfect

Great doctor. The procedure went smoothly without any problems. I would recommend Dr. Darlington for any eye care needed.

Very good Doctors in this practice.

Dr and staff were amazing , and when I needed to see another specialist, they arranged it and had me there in 15 minutes. Thank you for everything.

Very professional

Friendly and professional

Efficient, organized, and professional. I am happy with my results .

Dr Eric Straut has been my eye doctor since moving to Florida in 2015. He shows compassion and concern with each visit. I had shingles in my eye and he was quick to get the correct treatment. He also arranged appointments with his associates to do their jobs when complications occurred in the following year. I am very grateful for his knowledge and expertise. I would recommend him to everyone.

Kind,caring and honest with what your options are .

Pleasant and friendly all around experience . .

Dr. Straut and his staff are always cordial. Puts you at ease and explains everything

This practice was caring and efficient from start to finish. As a new patient, I got an appointment within two days of my first phone call. Everyone was pleasant and kind. The doctor was very knowledgeable and took time to hear me and explain all the options. This will be where I go for all of my eye car needs from now on.

Courteous, professional and knowledgeable.

Everything was excellent.

Dr. Straut checked my eye for a scratch from a plant and provided me with drops to prevent an infection. And this was after regular patient hours though the office was still open. I’m very appreciative that he agreed to see me and eliminate any worries I otherwise would have had.

Very easy to talk to or asks a question

Dr. Straut was very nice and seemed very knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable with him.

As a patient of Dr. Darlington I’ve had a wonderful experience to date and expect it to continue into the future. Can’t imagine allowing any other doctor to do surgery on my eyes! He has a very professional staff in Atlantic Eye and the surgery center. I’m nosey and occasionally ask if they are happy working here and I get big smiles saying they love it or wouldn’t want to work anywhere else. Happy employees do their job better which is not only good for the doctor, but we patients too. Kudos to all!

Dr. Straut is great. Have been going to him for years. Friendly, professional & explains everything in a way I can understand. Staff is always friendly too. The wait time could be better but that just shows how popular they are.

Great experience. Always asking if you need anything or have any concerns.

Great experience with Dr Straut. He is always informative as to any questions I may have.

MY APPOINTMENT WAS GREAT, THE TECH WAS VERY GOOD AND DR DARLINGTON WAS GREATN

Was very professional, staff friendly and courteous

Every one is so efficient and the check in was quick and was seen by everyone so quickly My mother had dementia and everyone was so kind to her

I have been a patient for years and everyone I have come in contact with as been wonderful.

Dr. Darlington was profesional and explained everything perfectly and made feel confident on what the procedure would be!

Dr Mandese is very thorough and professional. Easy to talk to. Highly recommend!

Professional, Doctor Darlington takes time to answer questions, staff keeps things running on time and are friendly.

Dr. Straut very personable, knowledgeable, thorough, and explains everything to my understanding. I would recommend anyone I know to see him. Thank you Dr. Straut!

Very busy office but very efficient

They got me right in with a small emergency issue. Dr Straut took the extra time to explain everything even though it was busy.

Takes time fot questions

Everyone I had met were very knowledgeable and helpful. Made me feel important. Overall a great experience.

I was fully satisfied with the service and professionalism received.

Caring and personable crew from front desk to doctor. Clean offices and timely care.

You'll get about 90 seconds with him. Uncaring and not empathetic at all. Doesn't listen. He's right and you're wrong. Find somewhere else to go.

Very knowledgeable staff, answered all of our questions, was thorough and helpful!

Very satisfied with the care I receive.

Very impressed, the doctor knows the best way to help me. I needed additional tests to be able to improve my eyesight. I am happy to trust his recommendation.

Very satisfied with the exam. The wait to be seen was a little long

Dr. Strout takes his time with me and helps me understand what's going on with my eyes, What's causing the problems and how to fix it. that's exactly what you need when your vision changes and you are concerned about your eyesight.

Excellent!!!!!

It's comforting to know that

Very informative and professional

Great doctor, great staff. Only problem was that you have to wait past your appointment time to get in. I think that he is worth it. Bring your cell phone to play some games, and the time will go fast!

Successful cataract surgery. Very professional.

Dr. Strout is an excellent doctor. He explains everything very clearly. In addition to being very professional he is also very kind. I recommend him highly.

Absolutely wonderful! Dr.Mandese is very thorough with his exam, his staff are very professional and very polite.

Except for the waiting, all else was fine.

///

I will never go back to this place! I have been to two appointments here and both appointments took over 2 hours! They seem to have no regard for their patients time and making them wait. I actually walked out of my second appointment without even seeing the doctor as I became so frustrated with the length of waiting time. What is a reasonable time to wait for a scheduled appointment?? I am always early to my appointments and respect the time of others. As far as I can see, this practice has 0 respect for the time of their patients.

Get more doctors or stop booking so many patients

Very good examination of my eyes. Dr Straut answered all questions clearly . Very kind and compassionate as well as very knowledgeable! Thank you!

My visit was handled expeditiously and professionally. Thank you!!

Only bad thing don’t ever and I mean ever use my middle name again

As Always, Dr Eric Straut has given me great care. His staff is efficient and professional. He is a trusted provider and an excellent doctor!

Outstanding

Thorough exam - answered all my questions

The doctor was very good at explaining the cataract surgery and all that is to be done.

Great experience with office staff and physician . Professional and they actually listen and answer questions . Would recommend !

Atlantic eye consultants runs their business beautifully. Very professional on time and most importantly excellent results. I feel like it was well taken care of in every aspect of my time having cataract surgery. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs an ophthalmologist.

I've received excellent care from Dr. Straut for several years. He is professionally very competent and excellent at explaining the implications of results, presenting options in a positive manner that is very reassuring. He is also treating my 98 year old mother in law and has shown great sensitivity in dealing with her concerns which are frequently repetitive and not reality based. I would recommend him without hesitation.

No complaints everything was good Dr. Michael is a good man

Always a great experience with Dr Straut.

Dr. Straut and his staff are very knowledgeable and efficient at the Palm Bay office. Dr. Straut is monitoring a uniqueness about my right eye and continues to see me every 6 mos to take pictures, test peripheral sight, test eye pressure, check vision, and insert plugs for dry eye.

Wait was a bit long but expected as new patient and they did accommodate a same day appointment after I called from a referral from my primary doctor. I called at 10:30 A.M. and they had me come in at noon same day. The entire staff and Dr. D were great.

Excellent bedside manner, explained everything clearly, a great experience!

My experience with Dr. Darlington and the staff at Atlantic Eye has been nothing but positive. Everyone was professional and answered all my questions. The scheduling of appointments for surgery and post-op were on time with very little waiting. Overall, and excellent experience.

Dr. Straut has the BEST chair side manner. He is knowledgable and listens to your concerns. I highly recommend him for your eye care.

I have been Dr. Mandese's patient since 2008. I cannot express how grateful I am to be under his care. I have several different ongoing eye issues and he manages them all professionally and competently. He is very knowledgeable and very caring His concern for his patents is always evident. I never feel rushed out the door He listens to my concerns with patience. I was blessed the day he walked into the treatment room 18 years ago.

Great group of people who work in the office.

It was a friendly and professional experience, from when I went to the front desk to sign in, to singing out and making my next appointment…

Dr. Darlington and staff were very professional as to be expected.

I'm really satisfied with Dr. Straut as my optometrist. He has a great depth of knowledge and answers all my questions (and all my follow-up questions).

Dr. Mandese is a wonderful doctor. I feel fortunate to have him as my doctor.

Easy to schedule

He seemed to be very knowledgeable but the session was brief and seemed rush. I would have appreciated more of a dialogue on how to select iol options.

Definitely over booking. I was in there for over 2 hours

Very kind and understanding

Dr. Darlington took time to explain the difference in two procedures to treat floaters, and to point out that only one of them is FDA-approved, and that his practice will only do the FDA-approved one. I really appreciated him taking the time to explain that to me, and for referring me to a retina specialist within the practice.

Very professional, caring concern, and knowledgeable of their profession and the front office. Staff were very very great especially Miss Innocense. Dr Straut is the G.O.A.T.

I had cataract surgery performed on both eyes, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. From start to finish, every member of the team was courteous, professional, and genuinely caring. The exam team was thorough and reassuring, and the surgical center staff made me feel comfortable and well cared for throughout the procedure. Dr. Darlington is highly skilled, took time to answer my questions and inspired complete confidence. The surgery itself went smoothly, and my vision improvement has been remarkable. It’s clear this practice works as a true team, and their attention to detail and patient comfort sets them apart. I am extremely grateful for the excellent care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Darlington and his entire team to anyone considering cataract surgery. I am very grateful.

Good experienced doc

Finally, a resolution to my eye problem. Talk about being thorough. Great & comfortable visit since he made you feel at ease.

Dr. Mandese was extremely thorough. He resolved my eye issue whereas no one else did.

Dr. Strout is always pleasurable to be around and straight forward on things! 2nd person i HAVETA applaud to is the lady in the eyeglass area, Marcelle! She went way above and beyond of the call of duty!! I am totally indebted to her. Personality is great and when I needed a listening ear, she just listened with empathy and understanding with my grandmother!! She was awesome!! Many many thanks to her!!!!

Excellent experience. The staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Mandese is extremely knowledgeable.

Dr Straut has a good bedside manner, gets to the point she provides his patients with options for treatment and care.

The experience was very professional . . .

Great visit

It was great

I was in/out within 1 hour. Could be better.

Dr Darlington and his expert staff told me everything I needed to know and answered all my questions, concerning cataract surgery and lens replacement. I feel blessed that our friends told us about him and happy to be having him remove my cataracts.

Friendly and knowledgeable!!

Very corteues and professional

After a long wait in the office, I finally got to see the Assistant and then the Doctor. The experience was very good.

Dr Straut is always professional, able to explain things so I understand

Dr. darlington is very direct and to the point. There is no real warmth or friendliness in his demeanor.

For not being a regular patient I was helped in a manner that was highly acceptable.

Dr Straut is awesome

Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable . Dr. Darlington is very personable and professional.

A very professional and courteous individual

Exceptional

Emergency visit Excellent care!!

Dr. Eric Straut is a phenomenal optician/physician. I like seeing him slip into deep thought is search of solutions when I present the challenges I'm experiencing with my vision. During this last visit, he analyzed my latest problem and carefully performed measurements using a prism to see how far off one eye is from the other. He noticed a significant difference and is making adjustments for my next set of corrective lenses. Thank you Dr. Straut!

Very thorough doctor. Listened to all of my concerns and addressed each one without rushing through the exam.

Dr. Darlington is very skilled and professional, and delivers great care to his patients. He performed lens implant surgery on me, with wonderful results. I would highly recommend him for all eye care.

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

Awesome care and service!

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

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

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

Very good.

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

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

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

Good visit

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

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

Awesome , everything smoothly great service

I had a wonderful experience for the first eye surgery.

He is the most compassionate doctor ever! Highly recommend!

Very good.

Very thorough and explains everything so that I can understand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was very good all people that work there are great

Very satisfied with all the attention given to me

Staff was nice. Dr was efficient and pleasant

The staff was courteous and professional.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

very informative and efficient service

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Friendly,professional and caring!

Excellent experience, everyone is always very polite

Practical, friendly, efficient.

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

Very kind and thorough.

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

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

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

Professional and smart!!!

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

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

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

Dr. Straut was attentive and listened to my concerns.

Everyone was very nice and professional

Good experience

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

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

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

Hospitable staff

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

The entire team was professional and effective.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dr. Mandese is very informative.

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

Excellent Dr & friendly, efficient staff.

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

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

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

Dr Straut provides excellent care and always very pleasant.

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

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

Fast attention to detail

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

Excelente, very profesional and kind

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

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

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

Excellent care all around

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

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

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

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

Felt at ease happy very professional

Excellent Friendly professional Great surgeon A plus made me frel

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

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

Always pleased w Dr straut

Dr. Straut is the best. I would not even consider going to another eye doctor

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

Outstanding

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

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

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

Very attentive to my needs

I liked how be explained everything

Very attentive doctor and very nice staff.

Stitches were removed from my lids painlessly after no wait time. I am very satisfied with all of my experiences with this eye center; the doctors, nurses , receptionists and the surgical center!

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

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

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

Focused knowledgeable excellent care.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Efficient and personable

As always your practice is A1

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

why

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

very thorough and what a great doc.

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

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

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

Awesome Dr

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

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

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

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

On time, professional and Dr Surgeon does GREAT work !

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

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

Everything went as Planned. Courteous and Professional Staff throughout.

Dr. Straut is awesome!

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

Great

Helpful, knowledgeable, and truly caring. Highly recommend.

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

Excellent Doctor

Very thorough testing. Professional care.

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

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

Excellent service and everyone is so nice!

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

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

Always happy with quality of service

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

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

Very good

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

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.

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.
