Dr Mangese and staff were absolutely amazing. He takes his time and listens to the patient. For months the VA optometry kept telling me nothing was wrong. I felt like maybe I was in my own head. After explaining my issues to Dr. MShow more. He confirmed my visual issues were not made up and that I actually had issues that should have been seen. I am grateful that the VA finally sent me to him. No matter what your medical issue is, ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF. Thank you Dr. M and staff for being so kind and detailed.

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 howShow more 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.
