Helpful Tip for Referring
Our referral portal provides you and your staff with a great tool to seamlessly refer your patients for their surgical eye care needs. The Mann Eye Referral Portal creates one central hub for you to send eReferrals, have all our patient education materials, and post-operative care instructions in PDFs, and have full access to your patients’ information all in one location! Regardless if you work in multiple practices or just one, the portal is a great resource for you to keep up with every patient you send to Mann Eye. Please reach out to us for your link to the portal and account login information!
If you already have access and would like a refresher on using the portal, we are here ready to assist you.
