Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Dr. Calogera Mendola has dedicated her career to providing high-quality eye care to her hometown community.

With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Mendola is known for her personalized approach to patient care; she knows the latest tech, methods, and research. She also has decades of experience handling all aspects of eye care, including vision correction, contact lens fittings, and eye disease management.
