Dr. Mark Mandel is an exceptional doctor. I’ve had two operations, one for LASIK and clear lens extraction surgery, and I love my sight. I can see better than ever. I am 55+ years old. I wore glasses since I was 26 years old; now I don’t need glasses for driving or reading any type of screens. I can’t express in words how wonderful it is not to worry about glasses or seeing small print large prints just a beautiful colors crystal thank you Dr. Mark Mandel. You are a true gift to us in the Bay Area.September 15, 2026
From the first call, to the consultation, to the "your all done", it was a very pleasant experience. Not trying to sound so cliche, but i wish I did it sooner. Dr. Mandel and his staff are very efficient. Everyone has a job to do and they ALL do it exceptionally. Thank you, I haven't seen clear without my glasses in 30 years.September 15, 2026
As good an experience as I could hope for. Warm and welcoming staff. Excellent support team. Quick and efficient surgery. After experiencing extreme post anesthesia nausea after the first eye, I was worried about the second but the anesthesiologist modified her "recipe" and all was good. Highly recommend.August 29, 2026
