Best New York LASIK Doctors and Eye Surgeons

There are hundreds of eye doctors performing LASIK surgery in the greater New York Area, but some have much more experience and credentials than others. A good starting place is to get advice from friends, co-worker, or family that have had LASIK done - find out which doctor they used, what they liked or didn't like about them, how happy they are with their vision results, and whether they would recommend them. Then meet with a few of those doctors and see who you feel the most comfortable with. Some of the other best New York LASIK doctors include:
Dr. Ken Moadel at the New York Eye Specialist, located at 317 Madison Ave, Suite 1215 (42nd and Madison, NY2020.com, 212-490-EYES) in Manhattan (also in Stamford, CT). Dr. Moadel has performed almost 40,000 laser and LASIK procedures, ranking him among the top 100 most experienced eye surgeons. He has been performing only corrective eye surgeries since 1995 - that's all he does (how else do you get up to 40,000?!). Many local celebrities endorse him, as do all his patients you talk to. He is not the cheapest, but certainly one of the best. Check out the LASIK handbook offered on his site to learn more about the procedure.

 

The Diamond Vision Laser Center of Manhattan at 345 East 37th Street (corner of First Avenue) Suite 301 (800-984-2020, Diamondvision.com). Diamond Vision also has office in NJ and Connecticut. They have the largest LASIK practice in the Northeast and the New York area. Started by Dr. Vadim Filatov in Manhattan in 1999, the practice is currently staffed by Dr. Steven W. Stetson, Dr. Seth Biser, and Dr. Emerson T. Que. They offer both Intralase bladeless and CustomVue procedures in addition to standard LASIK surgery. Up to 97% of IntraLASIK patients attain 20/20 vision, making it a preferred, more expensive treatment option.

Finally, consider Manhattan Lasik Center, located at 110 East 55th Street (between Lexington & Park Avenue) in midtown Manhattan (212-759-9617, ManhattanLasikCenter.com). Their doctors, Dr. Kevin K. Niksarli and Dr. Mark Buchsbaum have performed more than 30,000 laser eye surgeries over the last 10 years, earning a strong reputation among New Yorkers. They also offer all the most advanced laser surgery techniques, including Visx Star S4 CustomVue, Intralase and Nidek. Again, all they do is laser eye surgery - that is their specialty. CustomVue is also known as Custom LASIK, which provide detailed maps of the individuals eyes, allowing for much greater accuracy in treatment and vision improvement. It costs more, but for many, the resulting near perfect vision after years or decades of glasses and contacts is worth the price.
