I am in my mid 40s and I decided to undergo LASIK surgery on both eyes because I now required reading glasses (and my regular glasses were no longer helpful), and it was getting complicated. I went in for a consultation, the staff were so eager to put me at ease, to answer my questions, they gave me a complete timeline, explained the process, gave me specific care instructions--it was all so clear that I trusted them immediately. A few weeks later I had the procedure, same level of attention and care. Everyone in the office was terrific, it made it less taxing to go in there the next day after surgery and then a week later for a check-up. I love that I can see without glasses (though I still need reading glasses, but that's a minor annoyance), and I feel I received above average attention. I would definitely recommend the procedure, and I would definitely recommend Dr. Mandel and his amazingly friendly staff!
