May 09, 2013

I would have no hesitation recommending Dr. Mamalis. He is professional, courteous, kind, concerned, and uses layman's language when necessary. He also takes the trouble to schedule one's surgery at the best time for the patient (many of whom are diabetic).

May 06, 2013

Dr. Mamalis is always great. Very professional, takes time to answer questions and explain everything.

May 06, 2013

I think this is the 3rd time I've seen Dr. Mammalis: he is always very professional, neither too warm or cool.

May 05, 2013

The information provided concerning medications was a little confusing. I was given three different times to apply the medications.

April 23, 2013

Dr Mamales is the best. he had a student visiting from Duke Univ. with him and there was nothing uncomfortable for me while the student had a look into my eyes.

April 15, 2013

Not all the technical terms for the record are explained, without my having to ask

April 15, 2013

Everybody was great!

April 02, 2013

Had a boat load of test and left with no answers to my problems. So feel like you guys got your moneys worth but I still can't see like I should.

April 01, 2013

I have recommended Dr. Mammalis to many of my friends and business associates that need a very skilled and personable eye specialist.

March 21, 2013

I would like them to spend some time explaining what my eyes are doing and the meaning of any of the complications they see.

March 18, 2013

Very good

March 11, 2013

I just don't remember how many minutes. I was pleased that I saw Dr. Mamalis at the location nearer my home. I am pleased with my surgery; this was a yearly check up and all is well. Thank you very much.

March 07, 2013

Mamalis is a credit to your organization.

February 28, 2013

Everyone I dealt with was exemplary in their professionalism and courtesy. I felt my examination was very thorough--there were a number of different tests using different machines and various technicians. All of them did a great job and explained what they were doing. Dr. Mamalis did a very thorough examination and diagnosis and explained everything very precisely.

February 25, 2013

I have full confidence in Dr. Mamalis

February 20, 2013

February 05, 2013

Everyone took their time with me. I am very confident in Dr. Mamalis. He answered all of my questions.

February 03, 2013

My experience with the provider was great save for the huge wait. I would tell anyone coming to the Moran that the care is great but count on a long wait. That's been my experience but this wait was the longest and didn't involve a resident/fellow as is sometimes the case with visits that go long.

January 30, 2013

Dr was very kind to my mother, and she responed well to him. That is different for her.

January 25, 2013

Dr. had a student and a resident (I think) in the room with us and he was very skillful in interacting with them while also concentrating on me.

January 21, 2013

Have already sent several people to Dr. Mamalis.

November 29, 2012

Very professional,friendly and informative as usual.

November 25, 2012

I came to the University due to the care I did not get from my Ophthalmologist at home. I really researched my doctors background and education and I know that my care would be of this stature as I have already been taking my father-in-law to a team of doctors there for some years: in the Dermatology Section.

November 19, 2012

Moran is the best!

October 22, 2012

Dr. Mamalis is an excellent ophthalmologist. He always shows concern and compassion for my vision problems. When I leave his office, I feel like I have received the best care and treatment possible, and I know that when I return for future appointments, the same will be true. Dr. Mamalis has a great amount of knowledge and expertise, and I am always comfortable with the treatment plans he prescribes.

Totally positive

September 28, 2012

Everyone was very nice, explaning what they were going to do, answered my questions, and were very helpful and professional.

September 26, 2012

The Doctor went into detail about my eyes and the treatment would help my sight.

September 17, 2012

I have scheduled an appointment for my wife this week because my experiece was so good.

September 10, 2012

I loved that the Dr. gave me written instructions for all my concerns. I didn't have to write with my eyes dilated. He was very thoughtful and helpful.

September 03, 2012

Again, I had no problem and no need for follow-up care. Everything went well, though and the doctor was fine.

September 03, 2012

The doctor had a medical student attending the exam. This may have accounted for the delay, but that was okay.

August 27, 2012

July 12, 2012

Dr. Mamalis seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. He did not read the information that the assistant had documented in my file in my presence.

July 09, 2012

Dr Mamalis and his staff were so efficient, supportive and caring, which put me at ease during a stressful time.

July 09, 2012

The doctor's manner and tone were condescending, I would not recommend him.

July 05, 2012

I have seen Dr. Mammalis for many years and have only had refraction changes; this is the first medical problem I have had related to my eyes and he arranged for immediate follow-up care. I appreciate how easy this made things for me.

March 22, 2012

Dr. Mamalis is very kind and reassuring.

March 15, 2012

Dr. Mamalis answered my questions and did not make me feel rushed. After I returned home, I thought of several more questions. I left a message asking for him to call me. He called back on the same day I left the message and spent time answering my questions thoroughly and giving me guidance on the decision for what kind of lens would work best for me when I had my cataract surgery. He didn't make me feel as though he was in a hurry or that my questions were unimportant. I am very pleased with the quality of care and service from Dr. Mamalis and all of the staff during my visit and and answering my phone calls and questions following my visit.

March 13, 2012

February 02, 2012

good experience and eye drops very helpful

January 30, 2012

Dr. Mamalis is a wonderful doctor. He explains everything in a straightforward manner.

January 26, 2012

Felt that the provider could have spent more time with me. Appt was very quick in and out. Wondering how through it was?

January 26, 2012

We left without a solution to his problem and maybe there isn't one, he can read the eye charts in the office, but cannot see in the real world, he hasn't driven for months due to vision problems, so we are just where we started. He can't drive to work or work on the farm so we don't really don't know what to do from here. He told us to put eye drops in his eyes but that doesn't seem to be a solution. we'll give it a few days, but so far no change.

January 24, 2012

My interactions with Dr. Mamalis and his staff have always been good. I have no recommendations for improvement.

January 06, 2012

I feel like a pair of eyes, not a person. I will probably continue to use the Moran Eye Center because of my family history but I have seen this doctor several times and I feel that he doesn't listen to my concerns.

January 05, 2012

I appreciate Dr. Mamalis - I have seen him for years
