Testimonial 1:
Because I got LASEK instead of LASIK, Dr. Chynn did not cut my eyeball in half. His staff is nice.

Testimonial 2:
I can’t believe I waited 31 years before getting my eyes fixed. I have been wearing glasses since I was in the 4th grade. Now here I am, more than 2 decades later, without glasses or contacts for the first time in my life. I went through many many pairs of glasses, and many different pairs of contact lenses.

I was absolutely terrified of the procedure. I was scared of anyone (including myself) coming near my eyeballs. I am the type of person who was even terrified of putting in contact lenses.

I came to PAL because I was referred by my coworker AND my sister. If they could do it; so could I.

Thank God Dr. Chynn has an amazing staff. The first person you see when you enter is his practice manager, Liz. She immediately put my fears at ease with her calm demeanor.

She assured me that everything would be okay, and that she had had the procedure done herself.

However, I still wanted to do my own independent research. I wanted to find out more about LASEK vs. LASIK. LASEK was definitely the route for me as I lead an active lifestyle and did not want to deal with the flap complications of LASIK. If you are considering LASIK because of the possible quicker healing time, please do google ‘LASIK complications’ before thinking any further about it. I also didn’t like some of the bait and switch pricing techniques of other centers.

I then saw all of Dr. Chynn’s certifications, degrees, and 16,000+ perfect cases. This all made me feel much better.

However, on the day of the surgery, I was still terrified; I had valium, a stress ball, nitrous oxide, and a whole group of people supporting me.

In retrospect, I was nervous for nothing. Dr. Chynn was extremely professional and I knew I was in good hands. He has a super team of Fellows and support staff. There is no bait and switch here; you are told everything that you should expect from Day 1.

I went from a minus 6 to 20/15 in only 5 weeks. I LOVE it. I still go to sleep feeling guilty; like I am falling asleep wearing contact lenses. I still wake up every morning surprised that my vision is so sharp.

If you have ANY doubts about this procedure; rest assured; it may seem expensive, but it is worth EVERY PENNY. It will be the best investment you have ever made. Stop thinking and start doing.

I had a great experience at Dr. Chynn’s office. Most importantly amazing results! I had my procedure in July 2011, and I couldn’t be happier. I am now seeing 20/20, and the best thing is LASEK is non cutting and no flaps! It’s a very safe procedure, and I was back at work in less than one week. Now I don’t need to worry about wearing uncomfortable contact lenses, or have my glasses slip off when treating my patients. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Aside from the surgery, Dr. Chynn and his staff made the whole experience enjoyable and stress free. Everyone at PAL is very knowledgeable about LASEK, and can give you first hand experience about the procedure since all of his staff are LASEK patients.

I can’t thank enough Dr. Chynn, Dr. Puri, Dr. Villaroel, Liz and Victor for making this a fun and less scary experience!

Thanks!

I’ve had to wear glasses since I was in 1st grade. I then switched to contacts in Middle school, because then I thought glasses were “dorky”. My contacts, though, constantly caused me problems, like dry eyes, and I even developed (but was treated for) eye ulcers at18. I finally decided it was time to change my life and get laser correction surgery. I found out that Dr. Chynn is the only doctor in NYC to do SafeSight, which means they don’t have to cut the lens. I loved how that made the procedure much safer and non-invasive.

I got it done ONLY a week and half ago, and already there is a HUGE difference in my life. I can already see almost perfectly. It takes about 3-4 weeks to get perfect 20/20 (or even 15/20) vision, but each day I wake up and can see more clearly. I always wake up and think, “Oh, no I slept with my contacts in!”. I then remember that I’ll have perfect vision for the rest of my life.

The procedure itself was not scary at all. The assistants are all MD’s, and are super helpful and nice. Dr. Chynn is an expert at what he does, and made me feel totally safe. They also give you the option of getting laughing gas to calm nerves, which I said yes to, and that wasn’t so bad either!! I am really appreciative to everyone at Park Avenue Lasek, and am so happy that my life is changed forever!

Sincerely,
Kate W.

Just wanted to let you know how happy i am with my surgery. it’s been three months and i fell a “a new and improved man”.. seriously, i feel great thanks to Dr Cynn and his wonderful staff who helped me a lot before and after surgery. I owe them my fast recovery, and all my gratitude goes to Dr Cynn and his great staff. Thank you again.

Dr. Chynn did my LASIK 8 years ago and when it was time for my enhancement, he remembered me.  When I had my LASEK a couple of weeks ago, I was treated like royalty by his staff, and I’m tough to please.  But what’s more, when I had a complication tonight having nothing to do with the surgery (a plug that stops my tears from draining came out), even though this was just an inconvenience that could have waited until Monday to fix, because everyone knew I was leaving for vacation, just to make sure I was in top form, at 11PM on a Friday night they opened the office just for me.  As an attorney who often has to give exceptional client service, it was sure nice to receive it for a change!!!!!!!!!! Dr. Chynn is great but his staff completes him.
