I went to Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology for a consult with Dr. Coad to discuss my glaucoma and cataracts. Dr. Coad and his team were great to work with. They have the latest equipment and I was given a very comprehensive exam. I ended up have stents put in each eye to relieve the eye pressure (off daily medication) and cataract surgery which gave me clear vision where I no longer have to wear glasses. The staff is friendly and accommodating. When I met Dr. Coad he explained the procedures and gave me literature to read also. I ... read more

As scary as LASIK can seem, Dr. Coad and Elizabeth, the LASIK coordinator, made the entire procedure stress-free from start to finish. They were professional, courteous, and extremely detailed in answering any questions that I had. I highly recommend at least getting a consultation (which is free) if you're at all interested in vision-correcting surgery.

I've had a wonderful experience with Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology. At the recommendation of a friend, who also had glowing reviews, I scheduled a LASIK consultation with Dr. Coad. Elizabeth, the LASIK surgical coordinator, is kind, personable, knowledgeable and made me feel completely at ease. Dr. Coad answered all of my questions and assured me that my high prescription wouldn't prevent me from having a successful surgery. There are of course risks to LASIK, all of which were thoroughly explained in reading materials handed ou... read more

Laura thank you for such positive feedback. We are so pleased to hear about your experience with Dr. Coad and I, enjoy your new vision!

The team at Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology made Lasik such a breeze! The doctors explained every step of the procedure while it was happening and answered all of my questions (and I had a lot to ask). Lasik Coordinator Elizabeth was wonderful - she let me text her any time with questions or advice, which was so helpful. I'm now four-months in and am still seeing some halos and occasional blurriness, which I was told is normal. So glad I went through with Lasik and am already recommending it to my contact-wearing friends. 

Business response:

Kelsea your word of mouth is the best compliment of all ! We are so pleased to hear how great your experience was with Dr. Coad and I. Luckily with our state of the art technology those symptoms are normal and are not permanent, and will subside soon!

Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology was a great experience. Elizabeth, the LASIK coordinator, was extremely helpful from my consultation visit through surgery and post op visits. I went in for my consultation and i was scheduled for surgery the next week. The staff made the experience extremely easy and comforting as they assured me i was a great candidate after performing a number of tests. The surgery itself was a breeze and there were no surprises. Everything went exactly as the staff promised it would and I'm seeing 20/15 as of my... read more

My recent and highly successful cataract surgery and IOL implants, performed by Dr. Christopher Coad of Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology and his team at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, has resulted not only in wonderfully clear vision unlike any I've ever had, but a new, happier outlook on life. I've been highly nearsighted since birth. For a cataract patient, I'm still young, but cataracts are not unheard of with the significantly myopic. By the time of diagnosis, the cataracts were well developed, and causing major refraction... read more

I was really indecisive about getting LASIK for awhile, I had read a lot of reviews about Dr. Coad and Elizabeth and figured I'd at least go in for a consultation with them to see if I was a candidate. Elizabeth the surgical coordinator greeted me right away, and preformed and explained all the testings she was doing that we're going to determine if I was a candidate or not. As much as a foreign language medical terminology can sound, she really simplified everything so I would have a better understanding about the procedure... read more

Thank you for such a great review. Dr. Coad and I highly appreciate such positive feedback. enjoy your new vision!

I am a great fan of Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology! I was referred by a friend who had gotten LASIK a few months ago and had a great experience, and I have to wholeheartedly agree with her. Dr. Coad was completely professional and personable. He went through the entire procedure and was a very reassuring presence. Special shout out to Elizabeth Simeone, the LASIK coordinator. She was amazing. Just amazing. She went above and beyond. Her knowledge of LASIK was more than evident from the second I walked into the consult. She was a ... read more

Business response:

Aj, thank you so much, for such a great review! Dr. Coad and I are so happy we were both able to provide you with an amazing LASIK experience. We are looking forward to meeting with you at your 1-month Post-op!
