Great Care! – I fell asleep with my contacts on and painfully injured my left eye. Russell is an outstanding front- desk reception presence. He was so thoughtful and managed to fit me in to the appointments during my time of need.
Everywhere else I tried, and there were a bunch, did not care at all about my injury and sounded cold. You can imagine how that felt while in pain!
I am so grateful to the Chelsea Eye clinic.
I loved the Doctor I then got to visit. Dr.Coad was quick, efficient, warm, and fixed my problem immediately.
Thank you!

Fantastic Lasik Experience! – I am so glad that I finally went ahead and got ILasik surgery from Chelsea Eye and Cosmetic Surgery. This office came highly recommended from two friends so that in itself made me feel confident about having eye surgery done there. After meeting with Dr.Eviatar and having thorough testing done by the Lasik coodinators Alicia and Anna I was told that I would be a good candidate for ILasik surgery. So to my delight I was scheduled to have the surgery a week later! I then went in for pre-testing two days before the surgery so that they could check to see if all the previous tests were consistent. My confidence was actually further enhanced by all this careful testing. On surgery day I was more excited than apprehensive and arrived rather early at the office where the surgery was to take place! I was then taken for more final tests and then to the waiting room that was adjacent to the operating room. By then I had taken the anti anxiety medication that was provided so was feeling really chilled out! Then the woman who was before me came back in to the waiting room and sounded really happy! Then it was my turn and I laid down, was covered with a blanket and given something to squeeze! Dr.Eviatar and the Lasik technicians told me everything they were doing as they were doing it and the whole thing was over before I knew it! Nothing was painful, the only thing that felt kind of weird was the suction device they put over your eye to hold it in place but that felt just like pressure. The actual laser correction took maybe 20 seconds and was painless, it felt like looking at different colored lights from under water. I could see immediately afterwards, my eyes just felt a little watery and there was a slight haze over my vision. By the time I got home and took a three hour nap my eyes felt LOTS better and I was able to watch TV with only a slight halo effect. The next morning my eyesight was even better, no scratchy feeling at all. At the post-op appointment I was told that I had 20/20 vision and a week later better than 20/20!! I am beyond happy with my ILasik results and would encourage anyone who is hesitating to DO IT, but go to someone good like Dr. Eviatar at Chelsea Eye!! From start to finish you will be well taken care of at Chelea Eye and Cosmetic Surgery!!

Chelsea Eye Rocks !! – This experience changed my life! If you are thinking of doing this and are skepical of the process as I was,my advice is just DO IT AND DONT LOOK BACK! You will thank yourself for it ..no more contacts,glasses etc! It is time tested,technology is like zipping up your pants ! Dr. Coad and his staff were sooo informative. My meeting with Dr.Coad was great . He explained in detail everything that would happen, his care and respect of my skeptisicm of the process was remarkable for a doctor! (no offense docs! ) I really knew at all times what was happening to my eyes from start to finish !I I see like an eagle now and had trouble with stop signs before ! Dr. Coad U rock !!

Best Lasik Experience You Could Ask For – The doctors at Chelsea Eye (Dr. Eviatar & Dr. Coad) are both incredibly seasoned professionals with an unbelievably great bedside manner. They came highly recommended by friends and doctors alike in New York City. I have known both of them for several years now and I had gone back 3 times before I made up my mind to go forward with Lasik. They respected my timetable and my opinions, they explained everything I wanted to know, and they walked me through the surgical experience like true friends. I cannot compliment them, or their staff, enough.
I had Lasik performed last week and I've had better-than-perfect 20-15 vision since the morning after! It was painless, problem free, and overall a 5 star decision. My previous stats were: -1.75 vision, a slight astigmatism, and 4 years of stable prescription. If you want a comfortable, respectable, and free consultation - go for it!

OMG! I CAN SEE!!!! – I have been wearing glasses since the third grade and today I can see with my own eyes! Thanks to Dr. Coad!! I love this place. I researched a bunch of laser centers, but my friend kept encouraging me to check out Chelsea Eye. She goes for cosmetic treatments, but loves the doctors and told me to check out their LASIK options. The LASIK lady recommended that I do iLASIK because it's the best kind of LASIK. No other place I went to even explained the differences in LASIK procedures to me. And, they did all kinds of tests on my eyes to make sure the procedure would be safe. Their staff is awesome, but what really made my decision was Dr. Coad. He is the sweetest man and very thorough. And, he spent time with me explaining every step. I felt like a member of his family. I highly recommend you check them out if you are interested in LASIK.

The Best Decision I've made in years – After exhaustive research and shopping around many lasik doctors in NYC, I finally decided upon Chelsea Eye. I was terribly blind and hated wearing my glasses and the expense of contacts became too much. I've been thinking about lasik for many years and was simply too afraid. But when I met Dr. Coad and Alicia I knew I was in the right hands. They were terrific!! The entire staff was just amazing ..... the put my fears to ease and I knew once they said what I was to receive was the same thing used for fighter pilots I couldn't go wrong. I am thrilled with my vision .... I now have a knew lease on life!!

TOTAL NIGHTMARE - DO NOT GO HERE! – This office is an absolute nightmare - the staff is incredibly rude and they are not respectful of your time.
