OMG! I CAN SEE!!!!

by pinklady001 at Citysearch

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.

• Pros: the best kind of LASIK, expert surgeon, great staff

The Best Decision I've made in years

by Jon K at Citysearch

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!!

• Pros: Excellent & knowledgeable staff
• Cons: none

Please do some research Before deciding

I have played baseball for many years and have been told to try out professionally. Every time I would try out for some big team, my eyes would always be the problem. I usually wear contacts when I play, which easily fall out at times, costing me big errors.

Since the league prohibits players from wearing glasses on the field, I have to wear these big nasty goggles, which are very ugly looking and annoying. I finally considered LASIK. I decided to go to 3 places before making my decision.

Chelsea eye center is a bite off ! They try to mix skincare and LASIK together but in a sour and untasteful way! They have a LASIK coordinator that has no clue about LASIK. I-LASIK was all they talked about and they have not even examined my eyes. They tried very hard to say they were the best. I was fooled by the internet reviews. They were way below average.

I was able to actually have my surgery done in two weeks following this consultation at another laser center. Now, I am playing better then ever and the ball has been clearer then I have ever seen. My batting average went up .050 in two weeks and I will eventually try out for a big team again come next season.

• Pros: nice staff but clueless
• Cons: that's about it
