Both Dr. Mammen and Dr. Tiu were excellent. Made sure I understood what was happening at every step and engaged in general conversation during the procedure to ease the nerves. I had no doubt I was in very capable hands

Some questions were brushed aside by the doctor, and I didn't understand why he ruled out one option.

Excellent

Dr. Mammon has been exceptionally responsive to my problems. He, alone, has provided effective interventions for a chronic dry eye condition that I've been dealing with for two years. In three visits, my worst affected eye is greatly improved. I'm off prescriptive eye drops and now use only over the counter

Dr Mammen is a wonderful doctor, he takes time to answer any questions you have and if there are different options for your care he discusses them with you.
- No RatingReviewed on 7/15/2024
Absolutely no information given at all, no explanation of what was going on and no plan of action. I was told he would look at the test results and contact me with information. Still no call 8 days after appointment

Doctor never introduced himself, did not ask me any questions about my child, never told me anything about his condition or what our next steps should be. I understand that my son is hard to test, but there were no explanations given or any attempt to establish rapport with.

Dr. Mammen was very kind but not very talkative. Some things I learned only by reading his office note after the visit. It's ok, I'm more interested in him being knowledgable and skilled than talkative.
