Dr. Mandese is absolutely amazing. I was referred to him by one of his colleagues, Dr. Darlington ( who is also amazing) because I developed double vision. Dr. Mandese ordered an MRI to rule out any physiological reason such as a Show moretumor. The conclusion was that it was probably something I dealt with my whole life but never noticed until I got older. He prescribed prism glasses and fixed my eyesight. We follow up annually. The amazing thing is that their practice is always extremely busy but he always takes the time to ensure every question is answered and every concern is addressed. I would recommend him and Dr. Darlington to anybody who needs quality eye care.

Great first experience

Courtney Mayo G. • June 20, 2026

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