Great Experience

by tvan at Citysearch

The most professional medical experience I had so far. On time appointments. Warm and friendly staff. Detailed information, personal follow-ups and care. I highly recommend Dr. Mandel. My vision is perfect and I am raving about his services to all my friends. Had Lasik in August.

don't let mandel near your eyes. he ruined mine. have to deal with the fact that mandel knew he should not have operated on my eyes. he downplayed the risks. dry eyes, halos, sensitive to light, glare, cant see at night are just horrendous and what is worse I can't correct. if you are short sighted you can wear glasses or contacts, nothing works for all of the above

• Pros: none
• Cons: decrease in quality of life following surgery

Got my perfect vision back

Had lasik done a day ago, can see just fine, absolutely no complaints. Dr. Mandel and all the staff are very attentive and thorough both during initial evaluation and post operation care. I highly recommend Mandel vision to anybody.

An angel that walks among us

by taboo529 at Citysearch

I am still in shock. I know of stories old and recent, and I must say I am truly pleased to know that I didn't have any problems. The very next day after the procedure, my vision has been perfect night and day. Dr. Mandel is THE best. When it comes to my eyes I will find him and I will follow him no matter where he is. It will be worth whatever obstacle I will have to face.

• Pros: There is absolutely no cons

Recommend

by marzini at Citysearch

Dr. Mandel was recommended by my optometrist on whom Dr. Mandel performed Lasik. Therefore, I didn't shop around. I am very happy, better than 20/20 from almost blind with astigmatism. If you are considering the procedure, go with Dr. Mandel. If you need PRK, like me, just be patient--these people know what they are doing.

• Pros: Excellent correction, excellent service
• Cons: not sure

Mandel Vision is Top Notch

by robliu16 at Citysearch

I had a couple of consults at various other lasik centers and Dr. Mandel's equipment is far more sophisticated than most of the other centers I went to. With his extensive background and accomplished track record, I felt I was in the right hands. A week later I was right and now I am 20/20 after being legally blind for the majority of my life. This is a life changing experience and Dr. Mandel changes lives with a blink of the eye. I received surgery on 8/17/2009 and today (8/26/2009), I am 20/20 (maybe even a little better).

The Eyes Have It!

by rachellep at Citysearch

Dr. Mandel and his team are the rare but reassuring combination of competency, professionalism and compassion. The results of my LASIK procedure are nothing short of perfection. I wish I had more eyes...I'd do it again tomorrow!!!!

• Pros: Best overall medical experience ever
• Cons: More expensive than some but 100% worth it!

BEST Doctor for Laser Vision Correction!

by Maria831 at Citysearch

Dr. Mandel's glowing reputation certainly precedes him and rightfully so. His professionalism, experience, and attention to detail have truly earned him his many prestigious accolades.

Dr. Mandel will only perform a procedure if he is absolutely certain that your result will be perfect. At my first evaluation, my corneas were in such a beaten up state that he gave me a prescription for eye drops and asked me to return at a later time for another free evaluation. I had been to 2 other LASIK surgeons before seeing Dr. Mandel and neither of them addressed that issue. They just wanted me to make appointments for surgery. At my second evaluation with Dr. Mandel, he determined that I was a good candidate for LASIK. On the day that my procedure was scheduled, all of the tests were run again to make sure that we had the latest data on my eyes. One of the tests yielded results that did not match the previous ones. Dr. Mandel did not want to procede until he determined the reason for this. He consulted another leading expert in the field and I had the procedure done 2 days later. Every time I called the office for updates, Dr. Mandel personally came to the phone and explained everything. I am very happy with my results!

Dr. Mandel makes his patients feel very comfortable during the entire process. He explains everything thoroughly and has a great sense of humor. Dr. Mandel truly cares about his patients and goes the extra mile for them. He called me in the evening on the day that I had LASIK just to check up on me and make sure everything was okay even though I was going to see him the next morning.

The staff at Mandel Vision is also great. Nancy was my LASIK coordinator. I was so nervous at first but she guided me through every step of the way and answered all of my questions thoroughly.

If you are considering laser vision correction you cannot go wrong by seeing Dr. Mandel. He will not perform any procedure unless he knows that he will get perfect results for you.

• Pros: personal attention, meticulous work
• Cons: none

Highly recommend Dr. Mandel

by dht183 at Citysearch

You must go to Dr. Mandel for your laser vision correction. Period. I had a very great experience, just had it done last week, and I feel great. My vision is better than 20/20 now. My friend and sister had it done with him about 8 years ago and their still perfect.

The only place for Lasik Surgery

by wendy1 at Citysearch

After wearing contact lenses for almost 40 years enough was enough. You cannot walk down a street in NYC without something blowing into your contacts. Wow is that painful! Dr Mandel and staff were professional,attentive and very patient. They are a very concerned and caring staff. The eye exam prior to surgery was so very thorough. They listen to your concerns instead of talking at you, or down to you. You are made to feel as relaxed as possible. I am glad I choose Dr Mandels office for my procedure.

• Pros: Professional from start to finish
