I got Lasik from Dr. Coad two months ago and it is incredible! I had moderately poor eyesight so that I constantly wore contacts and had to wear glasses in the evening. Honestly, wearing glasses for 10 days before surgery was the hardest part of the whole process! In spite of my fear, Christine and Dr. Coad made me feel totally comfortable and optimistic about getting the surgery without making me feel pushed to buy it. The consultation was wonderful and their office is very nice. They inspire a lot of trust with how rigorously they examine your eyes before they will conduct Lasik. Then, a surgery which could be brutal and scary, went by like a dream - obviously partly from drugs, but also because of how clear the instructions were, and Christine and Dr. Coad's "verbal anesthesia" - their chatter to you as you are operated on. Immediately afterward I could see perfectly and it was very emotional, but like they often say, you forget after the first week because you are so used to having perfect vision! Recovery was easy and well organized with their instructions, and now I have better than average vision. Dr. Coad's practice is worth the price (and you will get discounts for referrals). If you can spare the cost and about two days of painless recovery during which you are still able to work, don't hesitate to get it! You can go from putting in contacts every day for 16 years to suddenly being able to see the moment you wake up.

I had my lasik eye surgery there about 7 years and it was the best decision ever. I still get my annual eye check up there. I have been a patient of Dr. Coad for over 10 years if I am not mistaken.

I got my Lasik surgery done with Dr. Coad and Christine at Chelsea Eye & Cosmetic Surgery on September 2 of this year.
It was amazing to work with them. I had gone to the clinic for my regular eye exams throughout the years and Lasik was always an idea in the back of my head due to my small prescription (-1.00 in each eye) until I got tired of wearing glasses and I went for it. Best decision I have ever made.
Christine was so helpful, so nice and in a matter of minutes we went over all the details of what the procedure involved and it was clear to me I was in good hands.
I then went and read things online which happened to be more than I needed to know. it is helpful to get informed, but in my case, I read so many stories that made me go into the procedure with all the ifs and if nots and none of it applied to me (fortunately).
I did my pre-surgery check up the night before and I was ready. The surgery went great. No pain at all, every single step was exactly as Christine and Dr. Coad has described. And during the process they tell you everything that is happening and the even count the seconds out loud so that you know when the laser is going to stop. In less than 15 minutes I was up and ready to go home to sleep. The next morning was one of the happiest moments in my life when I looked out the window and I could see so clearly without my glasses. The most amazing feeling ever!
I had a planned trip to Maine the next day for labor day so my recovery happened on the top of the Acadia national park, great to test my new set of eyes!
No weird feelings, no halos, no itching, no burning. Just the most normal sensations and the fact that you are and have to be extra careful with your eyes. Wear all the drops and you are set.
The one month follow up was great. I had 20/20 Vision and my recovery was outstanding. It has been almost 2 months and most of the time I forget I had anything done, and I even forget I wore glasses which is insane.
I totally, completely and absolutely recommend Dr. Coad and Christine. You are going to be in good hands and they will make you feel so comfortable and at ease.
Go for it!

Dr Coad and his staff were amazing. I wasn't planning on getting Lasik, but they made me feel so comfortable, I could resist. Immediately after, I was able to see stellar. Definitely would go back!

My experiente with chelsea eyes and cosmetics was one in a lifetime, everything happened exactly the way, they described. The procedure took ten minutes, and i left the place walking to my hotel. On the next day, i was walking around the time square, seeing everything as i never had a lasik. I just have to thank, Christine, Dr. Coad and all the team, they were amazing. Thank you guys.????????

I cannot say enough fantastic things about both Dr. Coad and Christine. I had been referred by my eye doctor to a different practice and had an extremely difficult time trying to set up a consultation. I remembered that I had a consult for a different procedure at Chelsea Eye and on a whim, reached out to get more information. I was able to speak with Christine directly, the first time I called, and set up a consult within one week. After all the tests and hundreds of questions I had had, I knew that I was in excellent hands. The level of care, bedside manner, and comfort that Christine and Dr. Coad instilled, calmed all of my fears and anxieties about Lasik. Ironically, the day following my surgery, the original office called back to ask me if I could come in the next month for my consult... the service at Chelsea Eye Centre surpasses any expectation. I had the surgery several months ago now, and cannot rave enough about how life changing it truly is. The initial post-op is a little uncomfortable, but truly not bad, and within a week of surgery, my eyes and vision were better than ever expected. I can say a few months after surgery, that while everyone raves about waking up in the morning and being able to see (don't get me wrong... that's amazing!), going to bed is the best part. The nighttime ritual is now infinitely shorter without the whole contact care routine, not to mention watching TV in bed without glasses. I highly recommend the Chelsea Eye Centre and have only THE best things to say about the entire experience. It was above and beyond what I ever could have expected!

Dr. Coad and Christine are amazing! I had Lasik surgery about a month ago and as they could tell you I was nervous with a million questions. I had considered the procedure for about 10 years before going for it, and I'm so glad I waited to do it with Dr. Coad and Christine. They were very professional, helpful and friendly, even answering my texts before and after the procedure. I now have 20/20 vision and my eyes are more comfortable than they were in contacts. I would highly recommend them! It's a life-changing procedure.

I have been a patient of Dr. Eviatar for 15 or more years. I myself would never trust anyone but him touch my face, for Dr. Eviatar is a master within his field. I often refer to him as a artist which no doubt he is, he helped restore my skin, after much personal hardships that through stress had my face sunken, think skinned. I could never express what this has done for my self esteem, not about age only feeling healthy and viable again.
Most importantly one needs to kn...
His staff Natasha, Amy, Jenelle all assistants, reception are bar none the most exceptional in their fields as well. The personal service is outstanding.
Thank you for all the support over the years,
Joan Kross
See More ow this about Dr. Eviatar, if you are looking to be overdone, so to speak, he is not for you. His character and ethical standards are beyond reproach, he will bring you to a natural beauty never will he go beyond. This is why, I feel there is no one that comes close to his professional abilities and knowledge of his products.

I got LASIK 4 weeks ago and am so happy with my choice! Dr. Coad and Christine are amazing in the level of care and instruction they provide. I knew exactly what to expect and they made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. I was thrilled to be able to wake up the next morning and see without glasses! Christine is so caring and responsive; it was great to know I could reach her with any questions. LASIK is life changing, and I can't say enough good things about my experience. Thank you, Dr. Coad and Christine!
