Dr. Mabel Cheng, MD

I Have been seeing her since she started and I think she is the best. She has done 2 cataract surgeries on me and I have never had a problem with her or my eyes. She is the best.

Recently had cataract surgery and it came out beautifully. Am now 20/20 again and very happy and satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Cheng.

I strongly discourage going to Dr. Cheng. When I took my daughter there, we had to wait a long time and when we received the glasses, she kept complaining for over a month that her head and eyes hurt while wearing them. She genuinely preferred to not wear those glasses even though she couldn't see well without them. Everything was also overpriced.

Overall, Dr. Cheng fixed my eye problems; she's professional, and has most certainly improved much of the Capital Region's eyesight over the years. However, I'm not convinced the office is really concerned about their patient's well-being in these COVID times: their waiting rooms are packed with too many people with seating closer than 6 feet; and the wait time is ridiculously long. Office Manager's office could be a covid hot-spot, with no sanitizing between patients and with a common pen and touch screen being used. Although she claims to be helpful to patients, her actions do not follow through. // Their cold, assembly-line method of seeing patients doesn't work in these times. // I've recommended this practice to several people...but will not do so in the future.

Both my husband and I had Dr. Cheng do our cataract surgery and we are very pleased with the results. She is a very caring and knowledgeable physician and we highly recommend her.

Incredibly professional. State of the art equipment and fabulous service. It was my first visit after many years with another Dr and I can't even describe how impressed I was. They tested me for things that no one has ever done. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

The whole practice is a factory assembly line. And at each point, there is a wait. In addition to the coldness of the office, when I had my second eye operated on, she was over 2 hours late. I showed up for my 8 am appointment; because she was late, lost my spot for the laser, and ended up having to additional numbing medication. My exit time? 6 p.m. - almost 12 hours for a cataract procedure! My poor husband was waiting the whole time! Not acceptable!! And I had issues - unresolved.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lemanski since September 2017. (Susan, the AMAZING Office Manager has stepped in and saved the day (more than once) with her ability to multi-task, coordinate, and effectively communicate with not only insurance carriers, but the patients as well. She is a true asset to the office.) Dr. Lemanski herself is well-educated, thorough, but above all - EXTREMELY compassionate, and passionate for her work.

Did so-called "extra diagnostics" without informing that was extra, during a routine annual eye check. We received surprising bill. Called and got unhelpful, conflicting, and rude response. Our feeling was that the doctor office was trying to get more money out of our visit. The doctor did not show up with professional appearance, e.g., not wearing doctor attire. Diagnostics did not feel serious and trustworthy.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cheng's for 20 years. Through the years, I have referred at least a half of a dozen friends/family, and each and every one of them are still patients of hers as well. There is no one better in the Capital District area.

Dr Cheng is clear and careful at answering questions about specific treatments and spends as much time as is necessary with each patient.
