Chelsea Eye & Cosmetic Surgery Associates is downtown Manhattan's leading eye care, laser, and cosmetic surgery center. Founded in 1989, the facility expanded 10 years later to its present location in the heart of Chelsea's gallery district.

The medical directors, Christopher T. Coad, MD and Joseph A. Eviatar, MD, are renowned eye specialists and instructors based in New York City. They have both been listed in the Guide to America's Top Ophthalmologists. They have gathered a team of highly gifted, board certified and fellowship-trained surgeons and staff to create a comprehensive center for eye care and cosmetic procedures. The emphasis here is on the finest quality and a patient centered approach to care. Patients spend time with the doctors and staff learning about the many exciting medical and surgical options available today and then design treatments to meet their needs.

This state-of-the-art facility boasts an art gallery in the reception area, a comfortable relaxed environment suggestive of a spa, an in-office surgical suite and fine attention to customer service.

Services include the most advanced techniques in laser vision correction and LASIK, comprehensive eye care including contact lens services, no-stitch cataract surgery, eye laser and glaucoma procedures as well as eyelid, cosmetic and facial plastic surgery, liposuction and laser hair removal. Affordable prices, extended office hours, 24-hour on-call availability and participation in Medicare and most managed care plans have fostered tremendous growth for the practice.

Unlike laser centers and clinics that specialize in only one procedure, the team approach to care at Chelsea Eye means that each patient gets customized treatments by experienced physicians.

The physicians at Chelsea Eye are all board certified leaders in their fields and are affiliated with renowned medical centers including New York University Medical Center, The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, The Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and St. Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center in New York City. Drs. Coad and Eviatar are pioneers in laser refractive surgery and have performed thousands of laser procedures since the FDA approved the excimer laser. Dr. Eviatar is well known for his expertise in eye plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The doctors have been featured on TV, radio and in the press for their outstanding work and have been recognized by their colleagues with "Best of" awards.
