Reviews seem to fluctuate drastically, which is why I thought I'd weigh in. Maybe my experience wasn't normal, but it was quite nice. I came in for an eye exam, which I hadn't had in years. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful, and I didn't wait too long. My only complaint is that I had to sign the receipt after my eyes were dilated and I couldn't even see what I was doing. They could have charged me many times what I'd owed, and I'd never know. But, fast forward 2 hours, when I could see again, I was relieved to f... read more
I can't speak to other reviewers experiences with Dr. Eviatar, but I can relate my own. I saw him years ago after a personal tragedy left me gaunt and sad looking. People would stop me on the street and asked me what was wrong. I felt very vulnerable. He truthfully turned the sallow look to one of a healthy and happ(ier) person. He understand the face quite well. When I have made inquiries to others in same field I have been offered run of the mill solutions. It wasn't that they hawked different products, it was more that th... read more

Dear Sarah, thank you so much for this wonderful review of Dr. Eviatar. He is very grateful that you have chosen to share your experience with other yelpers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you in the future. We wish you all the best.
I have been a patient since 2006. I first went for LASIK, and have since gone back for cosmetic procedures. I decided to go to Chelsea Eye Associates for LASIK in 2006 after hearing recommendations from my colleague and her husband. Dr. Coad did a great job with my LASIK. My vision was awful before the surgery (-4.75) and was perfect after the surgery. The LASIK process seems scary, but Dr. Coad and team made the process surprisingly relaxing. Recovery was much easier than expected; no pain or irritation. I later recommended... read more
I have been a patient since I was 16, now at 28 I still come to NY for a visit to get my eyes examined. It has certainly changed since I started ( with an expanded practice, new Dr.'s, and updated facility ) Dr Coad is a brilliant guy who really loves the field of work he's in and extends his high end Chelsea practice to pro bono work and Dr's without borders. I've never has a difficult time with any of the front desk attendants and the office has always been helpful if I needed information or records to provide my other Dr'... read more
I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to add much to A.J.'s review from 8/6/2011. I've also had a fantastic experience with Dr. Coad and Anna Taylor. I've been going to ophthalmologists since I was two years old but have never had such a friendly, concentrated, and concerned level of care as I got from Chelsea Eye. Every test was performed with great care and then repeated and then done once again. I was very confident before the surgery that the doctor was truly prepared. The surgery itself was a breeze. I'd describe it as a ... read more
I recently underwent LASIK surgery at Chelsea eye. My doctor was Dr. Coad, his assistant was Anna Taylor. They are both WONDERFUL. So professional, informative, courteous and kind. Anna was always instant in her response to any questions/concerns I had leading up to the surgery, and all pre- surgery tests were a pleasure as they were prompt, efficient and conducted with so much care and and a sense of personal treatment. Dr. Coad makes himself present from the start, attending all pre-surgery appointments explaining with gre... read more
I have being going to Chelsea Eye for eye check up for about 6 years now...Dr Aviatar used to check my eyes, but the last few visits was with Dr Sazzari, and I thought she was curteous, thuru, and professional. I always like the front desk girls too. And on Friday I decided to have a consultation done by Jane for IPL ( I have mild hyperpigmentation and rosacea, my regular skin doctor has not helped much for the last 8 months), Jane has 11 years of experience as an esthetician and 7 years of IPL experience and she has being ... read more
I have been going to Chelsea Eye & Cosmetic Surgery Associates for over 10 years. My procedures have ranged from eye examinations to brow and eyelid surgery to botox treatments and other facial fillers. Dr. Eviatar is AMAZING! I get compliments all the time on how "refreshed" I look and have referred many friends. Every person who has gone to Chelsea Eye & Cosmetic Surgery Associates has been thrilled with their natural looking results. The fact that Dr. Eviatar is a surgeon and not a dermatologist is very comforting. Befor... read more
While Chelsea Eye really helped me out with a couple of emergencies (which bumps them up to 3 stars rather than 2), I ultimately stopped going here because every time I called, the latest doctor they had assigned me to had left the practice. I want to stay with a consistent eye doctor, not a revolving door. They're also very hard-sell with the LASIK surgery, no matter how many times I told them no. Annoying administration policies with no appointment reminders either.
