Review content:
If you are considering corrective laser surgery, this is the only place to go! Dr. Mandel and his staff are extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and cautious (this last attribute is very important since we are talking about your eyes!). \r
\r
I first went for a consultation where the Dr. takes you through a large number of tests to make sure you are a candidate. In my case, I had been nearsighted since age 12, -5.5 in both eyes and I wore soft contact lenses almost exclusively. After reviewing the tests, Dr. Mandel advised that due to the thinness of my cornea, her would not recommend LASIK, but that I was a candidate for PRK. PRK is actually the safer of the two procedures; however I was told that the recovery would be longer (1 day for LASIK vs. 1-2 weeks for PRK).\r
\r
I scheduled the surgery and had to wear glasses exclusively for 3 weeks leading up to the surgery. In the meantime, I started getting anxious about the pain during recovery based on what I read after googling 'PRK recovery'. I was prepared for the worst!\r
\r
On the day of the surgery, I was at the Dr's office 1 hour prior for tests and drops, then I spent no more than 5 minutes in the operating room (less than 1 minute per eye). The whole time you stare straight ahead and don't feel a thing. My vision was immediately 20/40 or close. I went home and slept that night, and for the next few days was a bit teary but no pain. You have to follow the Dr.'s regimen of drops to make sure you heal properly (several times a day at first, and then less and less). \r
\r
Dr. Mandel follows you very closely after the surgery, at first every other day, then every week, then every month. Another great thing about this office is that they never keep you waiting more than 5 minutes!\r
\r
Now my vision is 20/15 and I am so glad I had the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Mandel and his team, you will be in excellent hands.
Pros: Great staff, patient, careful, attentive
Cons: None!
