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 hadShow more 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.
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 meShow more 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.

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.
Very good doctor and a joy to visit.
great doctor, knowledgeable
He has satisfied me with his honesty and making sure I understand everything about what is going on with my eyes.
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.
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. He takes his time w/us, listens to us and he’s extremely personable. We are more than pleased w/his overall knowledge and his office staff. Thank you Dr. Mandese for your wonderful care.
Very through and helpful
Quick and easy. I was attended to almost immediately after I checked in. Everyone was pleasant and professional and explained what they were doing and why. I am going to need some further attention which has already been scheduled and explained to me.

Love the service!!
This is a very kind and professional team, starting from the front desk staff all the way to Dr Mandese!!
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.
Very professional and knowledgeable optometrist. Would highly recommend. My only complaint is the wait time in the outer office before seeing him.
Dr. Mandese is extremely professional, and knowledgeable, and an expert in his field, he is personable, caring, and gives his undivided attention to his patients. The support staff are courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
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.
Every time went fine.
Quick nice and a total pleasure
Excellent
