I really don’t know where to begin. I’ve wanted Lasik surgery for the longest, but have always been extremely concerned about who would perform the procedure. After all, this is eye surgery and you cannot just trust anyone with your eyes. A good friend of mine recommended Dr. Eric Mandel and I am SO grateful I went with him.\r

Dr. Mandel and his staff are the best! They are professional and more so caring and gentle. My fiancé and I were sold from the consult. What surprised us most is after having a few routine tests performed to determine whether I was a candidate, Dr. Mandel, himself actually did the consult with us, without any rush. He took his time and answered all questions thoroughly. Dr. Mandel is the kind of person who gives off a warm and kind vibe allowing you to feel comfortable while in his care. \r
\r
Again, I went through a series of tests the day of the consult and was told I was a prime candidate for Lasik. I made an appointment for surgery two months later and don’t believe the actual Lasik procedure lasted more than 10 minutes. My fiancé Nicole was there for moral support and not only did they take care of me, they also took very good care of her, allowing her to be with me at all times, with the exception of the actual surgery; however, she was able to stand directly outside the room and not only keep an eye on me, but watch the entire procedure via a monitor. During surgery, she was also assigned a room to relax her things while the surgery took place.\r
\r
After surgery, I was assisted literally by the hand of Dr. Mandel to the very same room and was given to my fiancé to relax. Instantly, he lifted the shades and simply told me to look. He then asked me what I could see. We all laughed because my reply was simply, “everything!” He them sat me down, check my eyes and proceeded to give us instructions on what to and to do the rest of that day. The next morning, I arrived for my follow-up appointment at 10am sharp and before we fully signed in, we were being escorted in to a room to meet with Dr. Mandel, who joined us literally seconds later. I don’t believe the follow-up visit was more than 15 min, again, including check in, meeting with the doctor and leaving. It was almost like being treated as royalty. He’s also great with samples. The lubricant drops needed before and after surgery are pretty expensive, considering how frequent you’ll use them. They stock you up with plenty during each visit.\r
\r
Bottom line – If you are looking to have the Lasik or PRK surgery performed, Mr. Eric Mandel and his staff are the way to go! You will NOT be disappointed in the results or the service. My fiancé is now changing her opthamologist to Dr. Mandel because of the great experience.
Pros: Professional, warm and friendly!
Cons: None!
