Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Lasek Experience
I had a great experience with my lasek surgery with Dr.Chynn. I’m 6 months post-op and have better than 20 20 vision already! I followed all of the recuperation guidelines and everything went smoothly. Dr.Chynn definitely knows what he’s doing! I highly recommend him.

Amazing
Incredible experience - went from 20 50 to 20 20 in 20 seconds with Lasek.Also love the fact that there was no cutting involved so I felt super calm and safe! Dr Chynn’s procedure ensures no cornea flap which was important for me. Life is so much better now.

Save Your Time Get The Best
Park Avenue's office is both accessible and affordable, eschewing traditional, outdated cutting methods in favor of advanced, non-invasive Lasek technology. Dr. Chynn, an alumnus of top-tier institutions, has been instrumental in pioneering these cutting-edge techniques. Notably, he enhanced my vision from 2010 to an impeccable 20 20--an outcome other clinics deemed impossible. This level of expertise and success sets Park Avenue apart, making them the definitive choice for laser eye correction.

can now see 2020
The overall experience is very pleasant and my vision is back to 2020. The surgery is non cutting which helped a lot when both my eyes got scratched when playing basketball, it would be bad if I had lasik!

The best choice
Before Dr. ChynnI had a stigmatism had to wear glasses or contacts after doing an extensive research on lasek and ophthalmologist. I found Dr. Chynn and park ave Lasek . I noticed that he perfected the procedure.Had my consultation with him and his team they made me feel comfortable. I knew that I had to go with Dr. Chynn after my consultation I did the procedure about 1 year ago it was quick and painless.now I have 2020 vision don’t have to worry about wearing glasses or contacts and definitely save me some money not having to order contacts every month I would definitely refer people to Dr. Chynn of park ave lasek .

Good Results
I’m very happy with my results. Dr. Chynn is clearly very experienced. I had LASEK and now see 20/15 in both eyes. I felt that Dr. Chynn took my concerns seriously during my recovery.

Lasek
After years of searching for a solution to my lazy eye, I came across Dr. Chynn who was the first surgeon who told me he can perform vision correction on my eyes and also possibly fix my outward turn. He is available on WhatsApp to talk anytime , and the staff even put me in touch with a similar patient who had the surgery done, which helped ease my nerves.

Wonderful place with wonderful doctor Emil Chyn. Everything done fast and with perfect treatment me as a person! I know that Emil made a lot for Ukrainians at the beginning of war and alot right now.. I'm highly recomended this place to anyone who have eye problems or anything else as well as help for Ukrainians. Let's list some thing i know he is done for Ukrainians: donated the 1st CXL machine to treat KC to Lviv 10 years ago, had 2 Ukrainian eye doctors working for he's clinic on park Avenue for a combined 8 years, then during the war brought medical aid physically into ukraine twice, & sponsored U4U visas for 4 people to get them out of Ukraine & gave them jobs in nyc - that's only a part of what i know.. !

I did my procedure for cross linking and LASEK. lasek is a safer newer noncutting version of lasik. Dr Chynn and the other doctors at his practice are very knowledgeable and accommodating.

I did LASEK procedure two months ago. Today I received my graduation certificate to celebrate my new vision. My original vision was OD -1.5 and OS -2 with some astigmatism. Now I can see everything very clear without grasses. My new vision is even better than 20/20! I am very grad that I overcome my fears and did the procedure. Thank you Dr. Chynn and everyone who worked with me to achieve a better vision. It is a blessing!

Dr Chynn & his lasek procedure has changed my life. I am a film producer, who struggled with poor vision for over 30 years. The last 3 years were horrible because I was getting constant headaches and dry eyes. I did the surgery a month ago and it has changed my life. I am producing a documentary on my lasek story, where I will share my experience at Park Ave lasek, interactions with Dr Chynn, his team, and my post op home recovery process.

Dr. Chynn was great. He's very strict and detail oriented, so to some this is offputting. But if you want a great doc who is going to get top tier results. Go with this guy. I'm seeing 20/20 and my eye doctor couldn't even tell my eyes were operated on!

Dr. Chynn has saved my eyes and my life. Due to my bad vision I had a very low self-esteem. As a ballet dancer I had to wear glasses for practice and wore nothing going on a stage, back in 90s contacts were not available in Eastern Europe. After I had arrived in States in 2010, I was very determined to fix my eyes. I was -10, also I had a lazy eye , astigmatism and some weird problem with my retina. Needles to say my mental state was horrible and I was quite depressed.
