I was very happy with the staff at Saddleback Eye Center as well as the great work Dr. Manger did on my eyesight. Everyone is very professional, thorough and makes you feel comfortable. They kept you informed on what they were doing every step of the way, explained everything and that is really comforting especially when you are dealing with a surgery. Dr. Manger and his staff during the surgery were always keeping me informed and telling me what to expect. I was really pleased with the entire procedure and Saddleback Eye Center.



Kelly S.
Dear Dr. Manger and company,
It is the morning after my surgery and I am already enjoying improved vision without contacts or glasses. Your office came highly recommended by multiple sources I trust, so I was comfortable pursuing surgery in your center. The comforting service provided by every member of your staff allowed me a stress free surgery and office experience. Every member of the staff is gentle, experienced, calm, knowledgeable and professional. I would strongly urge anyone considering corrective surgery to have a consultation with your office. Your thorough examination and consultation eliminated any questions I had and allowed me to make an educated, and informed decision to proceed with corrective surgery with Dr. Manger. I am elated with my decision and with my experience at Saddleback Eye Center. "Thank you" can not being to express my gratitude.


Lone J.
You have made me feel very comfortable coming from another country. The whole procedure has not been as scary as I thought it would be. I chose Saddleback Eye Center because of the response I received from others. I would definitely recommend Saddleback Eye Center to others.


Lori K.
I can not express what a wonderful experience it was getting the iLASIK procedure at SEC. I have been considering LASIK for the last two years when I did not qualify for a position as a forester with LA County Fire because I did not have 20/40 uncorrected vision. The morning after my exam I was 20/20 and now I have so many more doors open to me and expand my career opportunities to meet my desired goals. Waking up the morning after surgery, opening my eyes and actually being able to see was absolutely amazing! It is completely a life changing experience and I thank you so much! You have such a kind, competent staff and make the entire experience comfortable and pain free. I always knew what was going on and had very little anxiety thank to you and your staff. I would recommend iLASIK and SEC to anyone!

The professionalism of Saddleback Eye Center is superb. I attended a Saturday informational session with former patients who had had the same eye procedure done to correct near sightedness and far sightedness. Monovision was something that I was interested in having done. I hoped I was a candidate for this. I decided to have it done three days later. I'm tired of depending on contacts or glasses and as of three years ago, bifocals. I want to be able to jump in the pool, swim at the beach and be active with my kids (ages 6, 10 and 16) without missing a sunset or quickly locating my kids in crowded surroundings. I look forward to a very successful outcome in the days, weeks and years to come. I will spread the word. This is the most well-organized, functional and efficient office I have ever known. Thanks to all the doctors and cheerleader coaches who were there every step of the way.


Diana R.
Dr. Manger,
I want to thank you and your wonderful staff for the great experience! Everyone here was so friendly, informative and helpful. After the horrific experience with the other practitioner, I was able to compare the whole experience and can not thank you enough for taking really good care of me. I will absolutely refer you to all my friends and family and will let them know how quick and easy this can be. Thank you for putting my faith back into LASIK!


Perry C.
My wife referred me to Saddleback Eye Center. I had the same satisfaction as my wife. All the staff were accommodating and made the process easy; to include after surgery care. I certainly would recommend Saddleback Eye Center to family, friends and anybody who wants to have LASIK surgery. Thank you to Dr. Manger and all the staff of Saddleback Eye Center. I appreciate everything you did for me.


Miguel
My experience here at Saddleback Eye Center has been excellent from the second I walked in. The staff is friendly, informative and helpful. I will definitely recommend Saddleback to my family and friends. One think I was worried about was the actual procedure, but once it was over with it was nothing compares to what I had built up in my head. Thank you Dr. Manger and your staff for changing my life.

Steve S.
Overall experience was great! From check-in, through exams and the procedure itself, everyone I came in contact with was very courteous, kind and ready to answer any and all questions. This was very comforting and by the time of the procedure, I was relaxed and ready to go. I highly recommend Saddleback Eye Center for LASIK.


Jane B.
Dr. Manger and staff,
I can not believe how well I'm seeing just one day after surgery. Everyone was fantastic! I will recommend Saddleback Eye Center to all my friends and family.


Brian L.
Everyone here at Saddleback Eye Center was extremely friendly and professional. My experience here has been fantastic and I love my new vision ever just after about 18 hours. I highly recommend getting iLASIK done here and on the same day as your exam, just be prepared to spend a few hours here.


Armen Z.
Really friendly staff, the open house, on Saturday was a real key point - it affirmed my decision to get LASIK done here. I can't think of anything that I didn't like. The whole experience was gentle, friendly and for a geek like me, I really enjoyed all the different laser tests. I felt like it was star wars (really cool)! You guys really answered every question that I had and hadn't thought of. Thank you for the snacks and the hotel. I like how your office doesn't feel like a hospital. Seriously, I can't think of any negatives with your set-up.


Ursula N.
I'm the biggest scardy cat and everyone made me feel comfortable. Iliked how each test was explained. The stuffed animals are great, I think I squeezed the stuffing out of mine. I saved money for three years to be able to afford this. I'm excited about my new vision, Dr. Manger is very gentle and I felt good with him telling me what was going on each step. I'm happy with the staff and how helpful everyone is, I would recommend Dr. Manger and Saddleback Eye Center to friends in a heart beat. Thank you for all you have done on my new vision.


Erin S.
Dr. Manger is the best in the business, accept no other to correct your vision. My only regret is not having this procedure years ago. He and his staff thoroughly explained every detail, they even have a soothing coach to guide you through every step during surgery. I would recommend this to everyone.


Jennie C.
Thank you to Dr. Manger and Saddleback Eye Center. Everyone was so helpful, friendly and easy to work with. I really appreciate the detail that was involved with gathering as much information needed as possible on my eyes to make a confident decision as to whether or not I was a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery. Before the surgery I wasn't nervous, but during my nerves got the best of me. Everyone was so great in helping me through it. I would recommend Saddleback Eye Center to all my friends and family.


E. N.
My parents heard about Dr. Manger many times on the John and Ken show, so they chose Saddleback Eye Center for my older brother. He has a successful and easy surgery, so I decided to follow him. The few minutes focusing on the light will definitely pay off. I don't have any other doctor to compare to, but I would definitely recommend Dr. Manger.


Israel G.
After visiting for my checkup I was very impressed with the way things were done here. When I met Dr. Manger and learned of his reputation, I was very confident that I made the correct decision in choosing Saddleback Eye Center. On the day of the procedure, his staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire process making me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Saddleback Eye Center to anyone that is interested in the LASIK procedure.


Hunter L.
I could say this is the best thing I have ever done for myself with the help of Dr. Manger and his wonderful staff. Everything about the surgery was so relaxing, I was a little nervous but with their help I remained relaxed. I did not think it would be affordable but everything with the financing and through the staff in the office. Everything about my stay at Saddleback Eye Center was amazingly great. And a beautiful staff.


Cynthia C.
From the first phone call with Pam through the day to comes, he staff at Saddleback Eye Center is amazing. I had LASIK done in 1999 in one eye. Now in 2009, I had the other eye done. Saddleback beats the other place hands down. Thank you for all your hard work to make us feel the best we can.


Dave
This has been an incredible experience. I was apprehensive about the procedure, but more about what the results might be. Now the day after I am seeing great and now it will improve over the coming weeks. Dr. Manger has a great team to support him. My only comment on the process would be to know up front that Dr. Manger's team does a lot of the testing work and prep up to surgery. That said they all did a great job and I can't wait to enjoy life without my contacts after 15 years. Thanks.


M. J.
I had a great experience at Saddleback. The staff was friendly and made the process more comforting. The feeling of not using contacts or glasses anymore is just fantastic. Now I can go to work and be able to see things more clearly. I recommend Saddleback to my friends and family because the process was easy. Thank you Saddleback! Coming to Saddleback was a great choice! I am so happy!


Cara
I have waited a long time to consider getting LASIK eye surgery. After I received a mailer, and researched the Saddleback Eye Center and Dr. Manger, I scheduled an exam appointment. I wasn't sure if I would be able to have the surgery that day, but the staff was completely willing to work with my schedule and I was able to have the surgery that day. I am thrilled to have new vision, and grateful to the staff for working with my babysitting schedule, and so excited that it all worked out. Everyone at the eye center is very helpful and knowledgeable and very kind.


G. K.
I chose Saddleback Eye Center because I heard it was the best place to go, however I had to come to the center a few times just to make sure it was the right place for me, I looked and researched many others but came to the conclusion that this was the "best" place to trust with one of my most precious senses. After the surgery I realized that I did make the right choice and that I should not have waited so long to have had this procedure, even after all the jitters during and a little bit after. So I just want to "thank you" for being so understanding and patient while I was freaking out during my procedure!


Carlita R.
Pam is the best! She made me feel most comfortable from my first visit and knowing how long she worked with Dr. Manger was an indication that Dr. Manger was a trustworthy person. I also liked the fact that Dr. Manger knew my name and used my name each time he came in contact with me. That let me know I wasn't just another patient. As for the surgery, I was very concerned, but was happy that Dr. Manger talked me through the procedure. The pressure on my eye was uncomfortable, but I survived.


Connie D.
The day following surgery was exciting. All the anxieties were gone that I had and replaced with such an exhilarating feeling. I could see! It was awesome! I felt no pain in my eyes whatsoever. Dr. Manger and his staff were very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Everyone guided me through each procedure. That helped prepare me and calm me. Thank you for giving me new vision. I can't wait for the continual improvement.


John Y.
While my eyes were never terribly bad, I was at a point where I was constantly squinting and having problems with small print. I was given Monovision as an option and the procedure was painless and took care of my distance and up close vision. So far, the experience has been easy, painless and very educational. I look forward to my vision improving and enjoying life without squinting and without glasses.


Brandon B.
I had thought about the eye surgery for years and finally made the call to Dr. Manger's office after researching who I thought would be best to improve my vision safely and effectively. I called on a Monday and was able to come in Wednesday and take advantage of the one day LASIK program to save time, what a great concept. The staff was friendly, professional and helpful in walking me through the testing and process. After the exam and consult with Dr. Manger, I decided to go ahead and have the procedure and within as couple of hours was complete and on my way to great new vision and clarity after years or blurriness and distortion. I can't wait to see the world clearly again!


Stacy C.
Although I was extremely nervous about having anything done to my eyes, the care and attention from the entire staff at Saddleback put all my worries to rest. Everyone here is so patient and willing to answer all questions that I had regarding the procedure and recovery. The entire experience has been a pleasure. Thank you for my new vision!


Sharon P.
This was the best experience I have had at a doctor's office. Everyone made me feel like I was a person and not just money in their pockets. I would recommend you to all friends and family. I like the fact that I was always talked to with my name first. I really don't think you need to change anything, the whole staff and Dr. Manger are all genuine people you all made me feel at home. Everyone worked well together, great team of people.


Nuri M.
First of all, the primary reason I chose Dr. Manger was because I still work with two of his former patients from 8 years ago who are still doing very well. Altough I did not expect to have the procedure on the same day as my exam, I am so happy it is done! I can not wait until my husband has this procedure done with Dr. Manger. Everyone here is so knowledgeable. This is what I call awesome teamwork. Even the teamwork displayed during the surgery is beyond expectations. I can't begin to thank you enough for the royal treatment I have received.


Greg M.
My experience here at Saddleback Eye Center was easy and painless. The staff is very professional and made me feel at ease. Dr. Manger made sure that I knew what was going on at all times and made my experience very comfortable. I considered having this procedure for six or seven years and now that it is over, I can't believe that I waited so long. I would recommend it for anyone!


Rick M.
My experience with the Saddleback Eye Center and Dr. Manger was the best! Every single person was like a coach, encouraging me through the entire process. This truly helped me understand better each step of the way. Dr. Manger truly treats you like he's your next door neighbor. The first night I was amazed that I could see things without my glasses that I could not even when I had my glasses. Overall I am so thankful that I chose Dr. Manger to improve my sight!


Cliff
I have been considering this procedure for about one year, asked everyone I met that had the surgery about their experience and the fears about the event. Everyone said it was great, go for it, I was very nervous. I called Dr. Manger's office since I heard their praises on KFI and did some research on his procedure. Everyone was so calming, friendly and confident that I felt very comfortable and I went the same day and had the exam and surgery. It was very interesting how the surgery went and all my fears were removed as it was not unpleasant at all! Minor discomfort, for just a few seconds. The next day I could not believe how incredible it was to see again. Thanks Saddleback!


Philippe M.
My experience at Saddleback Eye Center was amazing! I was very nervous at the beginning, but Dr. Manger and his team did an incredible job of putting me at ease and helping me through the whole process. I highly recommend Saddleback Eye Center to anyone considering LASIK.
Jessica M.:
It took me ten years to get the courage to have this procedure and I am so glad I finally did it. Why didn't I do it sooner? From the initial exam through the day of the procedure, the staff at Saddleback Eye Center was professional and helpful. The extensive exam was impressive. My fears were diminished after the numerous tests, checks, questions, etc. The same tests were repeated the day of the procedure - this further endorsed my decision to go ahead! Today, the day after - I can see!


Rey F.
Having visited a number of LASIK institutions in Southern California, including Maloney Vision and the Laser Eye Centers, let me assure you that the Saddleback Eye Center is not only the most professional and courteous of the medical groups, but, in my opinion, the most thorough - both systematically and personally as well. I would describe my experience as smooth and enjoyable. I recommend the Saddleback Eye Center to all my family and friends because of how well they took care of me and my vision. See you for my follow-up.


Linda V.
This is my second time due to deciding to do Monovision. My first experience was wonderful, I went to Las Vegas a week later and I could not believe how clear the mountains looked. This second time I can now read this instruction without reading glasses. This is the best of both worlds. I love it. I came to Saddleback Eye Center because they are honest, professional and friendly. I also have two family members who kept telling me to go to their doctor who was fantastic, well it turned out to be the same location with Dr. Manger.


Cathleene F.
Thank you for running such a professional operation. After my consultation, I was beyond confident that my procedure would be successful with no pain and no worries. Your staff is the best I have ever encountered, making me feel like family. Today I can see like a child, with no discomfort whatsoever... what will I do with the collection of glasses?! Thank you for everything!


Jamie M.
I have been truely blessed to have received iLASIK from Saddleback Eye Center. I started having bad vision in the 1st grade and have struggled with glasses and contacts all my life. I had -7 in one eye and -6.5 in the other so by no means could I see without my contacts or glasses. I hated waking up in the morning and having to feel around for my glasses and then have the battle of getting those contacts into my eyes. When I was giving the gift of iLASIK from my grandfather, I was so excited. Actually, I was more than excited, I was fighting back the tears. I have a 5 year old son and am only 26 years old myself. I get to have great eyes for the rest of my life. Besides all that the experience at Saddleback Eye Center was awesome. Everyone was so friendly, as my mom said, "They all must have had to pass a nice test or something." haha. Truely everyone calmed my nerves and gave me the best care. Dr. Manger is an exceptional doctor!!! Thank you. I can see!
