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.

Dr Mandese and his crew at Atlantic Eye Consultants were/are very good in their overall performance and client care. From the almost no wait appointments, courteous explanation of the procedures they were about to perform. Dr MShow moreandese’s experience shows in the smooth flow of our exams that were performed while answering questions we had prior to, during and after our eye exams. The crew also made sure if we had any questions or experienced any problems after we left to call. We are very satisfied with this office’s service and care to the clients.

Krysta Faith O. • July 22, 2026

My first experience was several years ago after an ER visit with a sever eye infection and the care following was great. He is my routine eye examination physician and I just broke my glasses and felt need for new script even though last glasses are under 2 years old.They got me in for an appointment in a day. Just yesterday I was diagnosed with cataracts so he made sure I understood I would need another script after the surgery so I wont get my new lenses made till after the cataract surgery.
