Ophthalmologist Tripler Army Medical Center
As
an Ophthalmologist myself, my eyes are very important to
me. I have known and worked side by side with Dr. McMann
for over 4 years since we first met at Fort Benning,
Georgia in 2003. |
I have the utmost confidence in Dr. McMann's skill
as a surgeon and attention to detail. When I decided to
have refractive surgery myself, there was nobody else I
would have do it besides Dr. McMann.
Dr. McMann did a wonderful job and I'm very happy. We'll
certainly miss him at Tripler. |

I have been wearing glasses for the last 15 years
and desperately needed to get out of them. Dr. McMann
performed LASIK surgery on my eyes and I have stopped
wearing glasses. The feeling is great! Thank you, Dr.
McMann!

Dr. Daniel Morilla, M.D. Urology
Resident Tripler Army Medical Center
For a
long time, I have been completely dependent on
corrective lenses to include contact lenses and
prescription glasses. When I elected to proceed with
LASIK surgery, it was with a considerable degree of
trepidation and caution as I am a surgeon in training
myself and my eyes are my livelihood. |
After much research and background checking within the
network of physicians in Oahu, I decided that Dr. McMann
would be the best Ophthalmologist to operate on my eyes.
I can honestly say that Dr. McMann was extremely
competent and I felt totally comfortable throughout the
pre-operative and post-operative course. My vision has
never been better and I'm seeing things with vision that
is far better than I ever expected. I would strongly
recommend anyone to select Dr. McMann as your surgeon to
take you through this extremely worthwhile procedure. |

Resident Orthopedic Surgery Tripler Army Medical

As a resident in Orthopedic Surgery, my
eyes are my livelihood. I had grown tired of wearing
contacts. I had sustained a corneal abrasion one day
after wearing them for too long and decided to explore
surgery. Dr. McMann carefully went over my options for
surgery, explaining the risks and benefits. |
We decided PRK was right for me. The surgery went very
smoothly and the recovery period was shorter than I
anticipated. Now, my vision is amazing! I never thought
I would be able to see this clearly. I would recommend
Dr. McMann to anyone who is thinking about corrective
surgery. I have already encouraged several of my
colleagues to visit him. |

Maui County
I would like to thank Dr.McMann
and his staff for making my visit from Maui exceptional.
They took me in as one of their own Ohana and shared
their knowledge and experience to make my trip a
pleasure. |
As a retired Fire Chief of 36 years, from Maui, my
glasses have been part of my "turn outs" for over 20
years. I heard about you through the "coconut wireless",
which as you know, has more effect than all the color
ads you may place. I did visit your website and followed
through with consultation and finally the surgery. All
of my expectations have been met and the procedure was
so fast and painless I don't know what all the "fuss"
was about! |

Shelia McLaren Student, University
of Hawaii-West Oahu
My Lasik journey began as a
simple thought. Once I started researching, I ended up
"over researching" the procedure and scared myself quite
a bit. I went from endless Google searches to YouTube. I
made appointments with three different places and waited
for one to call me back in regards to what type of
equipment/lasers they used. |
Not only did they call me back, but it was the
doctor himself who called - personally. We spoke for
over an hour and he not only answered each question
thoroughly, but honestly. That was the second thing that
impressed me. The first was when I initially found Dr.
McMann through Google-I researched him, his work, his
reputation and his clinic because this eye surgery I was
thinking about having was not something I took lightly.
After our conversation, I scheduled the initial
consultation. Herein lay my third surprise.
This
consultation was not the typical one which you would
receive at all other clinics (where they dilate your
eyes as if it's your pre-op appointment), but it was for
eye tests and asking questions only - in other words, it
was to see if I was even a good candidate for the
surgery. The other places I had made appointments with
gave me the feeling of just being a paycheck. Not with
Dr. McMann. Needless to say, that after our first
appointment, I cancelled all others because I just felt
so comfortable with Dr. McMann and his staff.
So
comfortable in fact, that I scheduled the surgery for a
week and a half later. At our appointments, he always
takes his time, as does his staff, is always
professional and is patient beyond what is normal.
Although he tries to watch the time, he is more
concerned with a patients comfort than the ticking of
the clock - which goes a long way. His contagious smile
and way of speaking with you lets you know he really
cares about each individual. I am beyond pleased with my
results, which took me only hours to get (after some
sleep) and I enjoy not having to wear glasses or poking
my eyes out while trying to insert/remove contacts.
My vision correction was for astigmatism and near
sightedness, and it may have been minor compared to
others but it was still a hindrance. The surgery itself
only took 20 minutes. The patient care still hasn't
ended nor has the fact that I will forever be grateful
to Dr. McMann, and his staff, for giving me a new
freedom after 15 years of wearing glasses. Thank you for
all you do. Keep up the good work and keep smiling! |

Dr. Francisco Mercado, M.D.
Hospitalist Hawaii Medical Center East
My
vision had been dependent on glasses and contact lenses
for 20 years. Over the recent years, my vision had
worsened and had been complicated by infections. I could
not wear contact lens anymore and had to resort to
glasses. This limited my life activity a great deal. I
was very thankful when I was referred to Dr. McMann by
my ophthalmologist. He answered all my questions about
LASIK with ease and confidence. I was impressed by his
record of experience and the professionalism of his
staff members. The LASIK procedure went smoothly and I
was able to see clearly and drive the following day. My
life definitely has changed after LASIK. I am able to go
back to my outdoor activities without worrying about my
vision. Care does not end after the LASIK procedure ,
Dr. McMann follows you up to make sure that everything
will be fine with your new vision. |

My experience at McMann Eye
Institute was wonderful and life changing. I have been
wearing glasses for over 20 years. After the birth of my
son, I decided it would be easier for me to play with
him if I didn't have to wear glasses. Dr. McMann
performed CustomVue LASIK on me and my vision is great.
My son enjoys swimming and now I get to enjoy swimming
with him. Thanks for the great care! |

I wore glasses and
contacts for the past 25 years. I couldn't function in
life without them. I couldn't remember what is was like
to wake up in the morning and be able to see anything.
Walking into Dr. McMann's office the day of my
consultation was a life changing moment. When he told me
I was a candidate for LASIK I was in tears. |
The day after the procedure my sight before glasses and
contacts was restored. Dr. McMann literally performed a
miracle. My eyesight before surgery was 20/950 and it is
now 20/20. Dr. McMann and his staff are absolutely
wonderful. Thank you Dr. McMann for giving me the
opportunity to see the world in a whole new set of eyes. |

The LASIK eye surgery was much easier and
less painful than I figured. Dr. McMann was friendly and
helped me predict exactly what the procedure would be
like along with anything that could happen. |
He helped by giving me eye drops and giving me all
the protective measures needed to allow me to have
healthy eyes after the surgery. I would highly recommend
the LASIK eye surgery procedure and Dr. McMann to anyone
who hates wearing glasses. It is quick, painless, and
worth the cost for the results it gives. |

I've
been using eyeglasses since I was fourteen. Every couple
of years I needed to change my eyeglasses and I liked to
buy brand names like Gucci and Dior. My sister had LASIK
and she told me I should do it too since I'm tired of
using eyeglasses and contact lenses.
|
She said it was really safe and made her vision much
better, just like a normal eye. After I did my LASIK
with Dr. McMann I was very happy and wish I had done it
5 years ago. Thank-you Dr. McMann for doing a wonderful
job! |

All I can say is its
Fantastic! I've been wearing glasses and contacts for 25
years. I've inquired about LASIK over the years but
didn't feel comfortable. I visited with Dr. McMann and
his staff, and the office's professionalism and Dr.
McMann's confidence made the difference. |
The pre-screening to the actual LASIK went
fantastic. Dr. McMann's knowledge and confidence will
make you feel like you have no worries. Well, it's been
a little over a month and it's awesome. I'm able to
surf, swim, work, and sleep without worrying about
contacts or glasses. I would highly recommend Dr. McMann
to anyone concerning any eye conditions, especially
those interested in LASIK. Mahalo Dr. McMann! |

My older brother had his eyes done with
Dr. McMann. My eyes had been bothering me for years and
one day I stopped by to visit my brother and my
sister-in-law told me my brother had cataract surgery
and his vision was 20/20. |
When I heard this, in less than ½ hr I was in
Dr. McMann's office having my eyes evaluated. I had my
cataract surgery done the following week. When they
removed my bandage my vision was like a new wide screen
color TV. It was so good I can't put it into words. I am
so grateful to Dr. McMann and his staff. I'm now able to
enjoy a better quality life because of my vision. Mahalo
Dr. McMann! |

When Dr. McMann
told me I had a cataract, I was afraid that my vision
would never be the same again. After he performed the
cataract surgery, it was true, my vision was not the
same, it was much more improved. Not only can I see my
Grandson’s face when I go to his football games, but I
can also see much better at night while driving. I’m
very glad that I met Dr. McMann and I would strongly
recommend him to anybody and everybody. |

I am an active 60 year old mother of three grown
sons, and five grandchildren. I am on many committees at
church in addition to working full time at my husband's
physical therapy clinic. At work, I do insurance billing
and bookkeeping. Prior to cataract surgery, I was having
difficulty seeing the small numbers on my computer
screen, having to pull the large screen very close to my
face. |
I would often squint and close one eye to be able to
focus on the numbers. I was unable to see street signs
clearly until I was right at the intersection and many
times missed turning at the right time. Sun glare and
bright lights made it very difficult to be outside. I
chose to have my surgery at the McMann Eye Institute
because I heard that Dr. McMann is the absolute best. I
elected to have the new Restor multifocal lens inserted
in each eye during the cataract surgery, and now I have
better than 20/20 vision in both eyes.
Dr. McMann
has made it possible for me to see better than I have
for 25 years! Thank you so very much to all the staff at
the McMann Eye Institute. I was treated so very kindly
and with sincere respect, like family. I am truly
thankful for the experience. Thank you Dr. McMann! |
