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

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

I had a Salzmann Nodule on my left eye. Removal of the nodule was quick and painless. Recovery took about 8 days and the most discomfort I felt was the first day and it was equivalent to having a hair in my eye. After 8 days the bandage contact was removed and my vision was fully restored. Dr. Darlington took time to answer all my questions through the whole process. I'm very satisfied with both the process and the results. I will likely have to have a Salzmann Nodule removed from my right eye at some point and I will return to Dr. Darlington to do the procedure with confidence and without concern.

The staff in Titusville is great. They are punctual, helpful, and nice. The staff at the surgical center are so thoughtful, kind, and reassuring. I really can’t say enough positive things about them. And, they listen to everything you say and react accordingly. As a diabetic I was impressed. And, of course Dr. Darlington is the best in the business which is very reassuring. You may use my name.

Hiram Eduardo L. • September 24, 2026

I am a patient of Dr Mandese and Dr Darlington, I've had exams, laser treatment and cataract surgery, and I've been very happy with the results. They have taken excellent care of my eyes. The Dr's are excellent and so is their staff. They answer all questions and return calls promptly. I highly recommend the office to my family, friends and neighbors.

Bettie G. • September 24, 2026

Even with an appointment, it still takes about 1.5-2 hours, mostly waiting in a cold room. At the end, I only get about a few minutes with the doctor himself.

John N. • September 22, 2026

I had a fantastic experience for my annual eye check. The office is clean, the staff is friendly, and the doctor was thorough and didn't rush.

Miguel Angel C. • September 19, 2026

excellent experience from start to finish. Every contact with patient care associates was professional and comforting. For the amount of patients receiving this surgery, the efficiency and speed at which the entire process was performed was quite remarkable. In addition, the follow up care was exceptional. The results of the surgery was beyond expectations. Thank you

Robert Michael B. • September 18, 2026

Everyone was knowledgeable, professional and friendly..

William Leroy R. • September 18, 2026

The staff and Dr. Darlington himself were wonderful however I had an appointment at 2 o’clock and didn’t get out of the building until after four. The wait time was ridiculous. Maybe you could text people who have appointments and let them know that the office is running late and they can come in a half hour later than their appointment.
