Dr. Coad was really fantastic and thorough! I'm usually really squeamish about surgery and eye stuff in general, but this was super easy and the practice makes you really comfortable during the procedure. There's a free consultation to see if you're eligible (they run a series of tests over the course of an hour), then a pre-op exam the day before the operation, and then the LASIK takes less than five minutes and you don't feel anything (plus you're dosed on Xanax and Vicodin during it, just in case). The worse part is the w... read more

Dr. Coad and Christine Von Becker are awesome. My whole lasik experience was perfect. They bring you not only their expertise in giving you the best in lasik surgery -- but their kindness, compassion, understanding and wonderful bedside manner is the best I have had ever experienced. My eyes are FANTASTIC!!! truly amazing. I can see distance and read without glasses. I am willing to talk to anyone who is hesitating in doing this. THANK YOU BOTH, Rosemarie New York

I have been seen by Dr. Coad for the past twelve years. Glaucoma ran in my family as well as dry eyes and my vision had started to change. Dr. Coad kept a close watch on me and has always taken the time to talk about changes in my vision. I very recently had cataract surgery and it was a great success! A day after the surgery, I had a questions, and, although it was after office hours, his answering service reached him, and he returned my call immediately! He is kind, compassionate, and caring and you couldn't meet a nicer p... read more

In a word: Amazing. This was the third place I got a LASIK consultation and after an hour with Christine, I knew I wanted to get it done here. Not that the other consultations weren't good, but Christine was incredible and caring and made me feel comfortable. I genuinely had fun at all my visits. The office is well kept and the front desk staff are very nice. I never waited more than 5 minutes there, and even when I showed up early, we tended to start early. No overbooking done here! Pre-op and consultation: Christine was ex... read more

I had LASIK done by Dr. Coad two weeks ago after being recommended to him by friends, and I am so amazed by and happy with the results. I had put off LASIK for years, always waiting for a new process to be developed, or for a guarantee that my vision would be perfect following the procedure. My friends, however, were so happy with their outcomes that I decided to visit Chelsea Eye for an evaluation. I met with Christine, who could not have been more helpful and better at putting me at ease. She explained the process, the tes... read more

Dr. Coad was recommended to me by a friend who had the same procedure and he was worth every penny! It was by far the best medical experience I've had in my life! Christine was like a mama bear that guided me through the whole procedure and gave me personal attention and her personal contact info so that I could reach out to her 24/7 with any questions or concerns. I was on a time crunch and pretty scared and that all went away with the two of them. They accommodated every request I had and made my time constraints work. I c... read more

I loved my experience here!! I got Lasik last week and they were so accommodating and caring, I truly felt like I was with old friends. The actually procedure was so quick and painless and after a good nights rest I was back to my life the very next day. virtually zero downtime! It was easy to feel connected with Christine whom assisted Dr. Coad with the actually procedure. She game me her personal contact info and insisted to reach out if I had any concerns leading up to the surgery. Afterwards they both were super interest... read more

The esthetician Jeannel Astarita is AMAZING! I had IPL done on my face for my acne scars and some hyperpigmentation spots all over my face. I had 3-4 sessions done and I already see an extreme difference .it also helped my pores so much! she is great in explaining everything she does and the concept behind it , she puts the time and effort into educating her clients and that is what I like best. I also had a peel done around my eyes for my dark circles that I just couldn't get rid of ! after the third session I saw the diffe... read more

It's been three months since I had PRK with Dr. Coad, and it's been nothing but amazing. Both Christine and Dr. Coad took great care of me before, during and after the surgery. Christine has the warmest personality and she's always available to answer any questions or concerns I have. Dr. Coad is very skillful, knowledgeable and personable. I had great experience with them, and I'd recommend Dr. Coad and Christine to anyone who wants to get rid of their glasses! =) Below is some detail on my PRK experience, in case you are i... read more
