I had my LASIK done by Dr. Coad two days ago. When I decided to get LASIK, I posted on Facebook asking for recommendations. Dr Coad's name came up 3 times so I called him first. I went in for a consultation and Dr Coad and Christine (his LASIK director) were just great. They made me feel very comfortable. There was no pressuring or "sales pitch" attitude like I'd heard about from some friends' experiences. My procedure was 2 days ago. It was totally no big deal, even though I was VERY nervous. They made me feel very comforta... read more

So, I had my LASIK done! And it was great! The procedure took 53 seconds in each eye because my vision was pretty terrible but at my check up the next morning I could see 20/20! Also, they offer you a teddy bear to hold during the procedure and I am unashamed to admit that I held onto him tightly. Thanks Elias Jr. for being a great support system during my procedure. Also, Christine's reassurance was helpful in keeping me calm. We (okay really my fiance) ended up calling Dr. Coad the night of my surgery on the emergency lin... read more

I have been to a number of eye doctors during my years in NYC. This place is far-and-away the best. Not even close. When I called to make my appt they were courteous, helpful with my insurance, knowledgeable and fit me right in. They also take medical insurance so your exam for contacts and glasses are covered on most insurances, me thinks. Can't beat that. The lobby is pristine and they don't jam it with a 100 people waiting. They got me right in and out and sent me on my way with blurry dilated eyeballs (standard). Don't h... read more

I had LASIK surgery at Chelsea Eye & Cosmetic over 4 years ago and haven't regretted for a second. They did quite an amazing job. I recently visited the clinic again for a general eye exam, since I hadn't had once since the surgery. Dr. Paul Johnson was the kindest, most thorough eye doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. He really went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and was extremely helpful in answer all of my questions. I love this office so much and would recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone.

I've been a patient of Chelsea Eye and Cosmetic Associates for five years. I began by seeing Dr. Coad, who saw me for routine eye exams (I'm partially blind in my left eye since birth). After the routine exams, I started developing chalezions in each eye, periodically, and Dr. Eviatar sees me for that. Each Dr. is compassionate, easy-going, professional and, most importantly to me - 'calming'! The support staff are also terrific. Latrina at the front desk has been incredibly helpful. And Russell is a great addition to the te... read more

Chelsea Eye Associates, aka Dr. Coad and his Assistant Christine Von Becker, truly are 'as good as it gets' when it comes to eye care and Lasik surgery. And I should know: in researching more practices than I care to mention, it was clear that Dr. Coad and his staff were in a category all their own -- knowledgable, professional, patient and kind. No question or concern was too small; and no amount of questions was too many. Of course there's always a great woman behind a great man and Christine is no exception! She has that ... read more

I had an excellent experience at Chelsea Eye from the moment I walked in. The facility is immaculate, the staff are friendly and knowledgable, and Dr Coad is very professional and caring. I truly felt like I was their top priority and I wouldn't hesitate to send any friend or family member to Chelsea Eye.

"I can see clearly now..." I was singing Johnny Nash all the way home after surgery. It was amazing. But seriously, this place is incredible. Professional. Nice. Thorough. And every staff member goes out of their way to make sure you're happy and feeling confident. Christine sealed the deal. She's essential to this office. But these are all the things that I realized only after I did 3 months of research trying to find the best LASIK surgeon. Aside from the above praise, Dr. Coad really is the best there is. I wouldn't have ... read more

I have been a cosmetic surgical patient of Dr. Eviatar's for years and keep coming back every season for facial skin 'upkeep'. His office runs smoothly with warm and knowledgeable staff. What I love most about Dr. Eviatar is that he is from a family of doctors and stays on top of the latest industry news and ways. He is very skillful and efficient. Most of all, he listens to your needs and desires and can suggest solutions even if they were not what you were thinking. He makes sure you are practicing proper home care and a l... read more
