Well, I can't attest to all the services they provide here, but I had a very good experience with Dr. Coad and my LASIK corrective surgery. It's been awhile since I had it done (2005 I think), so I can't really remember all the attitude from the staff that so many of the reviewers have been mentioning, but overall I feel that I got excellent service. But I suppose after living in the NYC area for the last 10 years, I've become immune to it, or just come to expect it and take it with a grain of salt. Dr. Coad, on the other ha... read more

This is one of those rare times that I wish Yelp broke reviews down to a few categories. I would happily give the aesthetician, Jane, 5 stars. She is so helpful and knowledgeable. If you really want somebody who understands great skin and gives you straightforward advice go see her. I'm not sure I'd let anybody else come at my face with a giant humming laser after going to Jane. After a few IPL sessions and a peel I am very happy with the results. The price you pay for this is dealing with the caddy front desk staff. I think... read more

For some reason, I like it when eye doctors have strange new tech toys and lasers going everywhere. I don't know, maybe I just want doctors from THE FUTURE. Chelsea eye seems to have that, with enough procedures to turn Andy Rooney into a stepford wife. Things are crisp, clean, and clinical here. I've only gone for general eye perscriptions, but it's nice to know where to go if I want to become a trophy husband.

I found Chelsea Eye on yelp, and based on the reviews I decided to have my Lasik eye surgery at Chelsea Eye. I am completely happy with the service, results, and follow up. The staff, and Dr. Coad, who performed my surgery, are all very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate their good work and will recommend everyone I know to them. The surgery took less than 10 minutes, it was very high-tech, and absolutely nothing hurt. Within a few hours I was seeing better than I ever had before. When I went in for a follow up, they ... read more

Thank you Tiffany H. for your response. I actually *do* think a lot of the problem was expectation management. I did research before picking Chelsea Eye, and I picked you over another slightly cheaper place because I had already done LASIK and was so happy. Based on what I had read in forums I suspected it generally takes at least 12 treatments even though business websites claim 6 is enough. When I came in I specifically mentioned this and asked if 6 would be enough (this was after she looked at how much hair I had), and I ... read more

I went here to get my eyes checked and for a new prescription for contacts. It was easy to get an appointment and the optometrist was nice and seemed competent. But the prescription I got was only to order contacts through their website which I found to be annoying.

I've gone 4 times. Not a long wait. Nice doctors. Easy access to subway. Easy to get an appt. Saturday am appts too. Have never had insurance problems (sounds like your insurance was the problem- and you should always talk to them too- theyre the insurance gurus since they deal with them all the time). I have a PPO and paid zilch each time.
