Emil William Chynn, MD, FACS, MBA

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.

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.

Before Dr. Chynnl 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 l 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.

Before lasek i had moderate presc like -4 with astigmatism and now im seeing 20/20! My eyes are barely dry, i dont have any glare and im glad i dont have a flap to worry about.

I chose Park Avenue Lasek because i trust Dr. Chynn. His work speaks for itself.

So ready to travel to Europe without needing glasses!

I had my Lasek with Dr. Chynn a few months ago and I couldn't be happier with the decision. I am now better than 20/20!
I really hated depending on my glasses for everyday function and I would constantly misplace them or even break them when I playing sports.
Now that I don't have to rely on my glasses to see, there is so much freedom!

While posting this review, I noticed some negative reviews from people who never got lasered and also from people who were going to Dr. Chynn for pink eye or something not serious, complaining about the staff not clearing their insurance before coming in. This is unfair because a doctor shouldn't receive bad reviews based on staff inefficiencies. Dr. Chynn corrects his MDs because they are in training so it is his job to do so to
improve their functionality.

I hope people who actually got their procedure
with Dr. Chynn write reviews rather than people who never proceed, as this would be a true reflection of Dr. Chynn's expertise. I counldn't be happier with my outcome. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Chynn.

I had a great experience. I wanted a doc that performed no cutting, laser only LASEK surgery. Doctor Chynn and his staff answered all my questions and even put me in touch with a former patient to make me feel more comfortable. He is also the only practice that I got in touch with that performs the surgery on people with a history of keloids. He prescribed Doxycycline and LTM gel to prevent scarring. It was a very positive experience and i'm happy with the outcome.

Park Avenue Lasek is the only place around where you can have a refractive surgery or correction for your eyes without blade. It is a more advanced technique than Lasik.

Dr. Chynn is probably the most experienced refractive surgeon in the US. He completed his BS in Biology from the Dartmouth College and his MD from the Columbia Medical School which is a very hard school to get into and graduated with honors and did his Residency at the most prestigious place in the US for Ophthalmology Residency: Harvard University's Massachusetts Eye & Ear.

I have heard Dr. Chynn since long but I was rejected by too many doctors because my Astigmatism is so severe so I was afraid that he will reject me. And, at one point I was about to come to him but I went to Dr. Bonanni who accepted me. But, Dr. Bonnani passed away like last year because of Accident.

Dr. Chynn has been a pioneer since the Lasik technique was invented at the Columbia Medical School and also when LASEK was invented at Harvard.

When I came, there were a lot of people coming from far including Chicago and Europe just to have the surgery with Dr. Chynn.

Dr. Chynn said: he can regain my sight into 20/20 for both eyes while Dr. Bonnani the only person who accepted me said: he can only regain my sight into 15/20 and 18/20. Dr. Bonnani said he was very sure that nobody can regain my sight into 20/20. But, Dr. Chynn said he could.

After comparing, I believe Dr. Chynn credentials is way above Dr. Bonnani. I wish I had met him earlier or gave it a chance last 2 years. I believe my sight would have been 20/20 by now.

Dr. Chynn could solve my problem, I am very optimistic he could solve your Eye problems also.

I chose to get my Lasek done with Dr. Chynn at Park Avenue Lasek. Some people might be turned off by Dr. Chynn's personality and how he interacts with staff, but the guy is clearly brilliant. I personally have no issue with either, but I can see how other people might. I chose Park Ave Lasek based on recommendations from coworkers and friends who had gotten Lasek done through him and they had nothing but good things to say.

Ultimately what matters is the long term health of your eyes (you only have two after all and seeing is kind of important) both in regards to vision and lack of side effects. Towards that goal you want the most competent and experienced doctor you can find and Dr. Chynn fits the bill.

Dr. Chynn was the best decision I've ever made. I went to almost every LASIK center in NYC, but none of them could treat me vision because I had both a high prescription AND thin cornea, so they all said it would be unsafe to get LASIK. One day, a coworker who also had an extreme Rx (-15.00, which was significantly worse than my -10.00) said he got his eyes fixed with LASEK by Dr. Chynn. I googled his office and noted his very high ratings. In addition, he graduated from Dartmouth, Columbia, Harvard, Emory, and NYU (I graduated from "just" NYU myself), and had performed over 20,000 procedures, both LASIK and PRK and LASEK. Dr. Chynn also has the RECORD OF TREATING THE WORLD'S HIGHEST RX OF -24.00 which was important to me, as I was in that "extreme" category myself. I was really excited because I started to think nobody would treat me. So went on to a Free Consultation. I learned that unlike the old LASIK where they cut the cornea, where one can potentially get hit in the eye and it can come off, this is impossible because LASEK is 100% NON-INVASIVE. They remove just the skin of the eye called the epithelium to laser your eyes. NO CUTTING THE CORNEA, NO FLAP. This is why Park Avenue LASEK can safely treat much higher Rxs than is possible with LASIK, because by skipping the flap-cutting step they have much more cornea to work with. The rest is history. Now I am seeing better I was seeing in my ugly glasses and expensive ($500/pair) custom contacts, or a perfect 20/20 (before I only saw 20/25)--all thanks to Dr. Chynn!! It was the best decision I've ever made. Plus they only charged me $1/day more than what I was spending on glasses/contacts/solutions. Dr. Chynn is available by text 24/7, so whenever I had a question, he was always there, even on weekends/evenings. He is the only laser vision correction surgeon in NYC that allows this, which was important to me, as I was pretty scared, given my extreme Rx. Bottom line: if you were told by some eye doctor that you can't have LASIK, that may be true--but it also means you should go to Dr. Chynn for a free consultation to see if LASEK might be the answer for you--as it was for me!:)

After researching the various Laser vision correction methods, I knew I wanted to get a non-cutting procedure because I'm a full time student who values risk benefit ratio extremely highly. I also live an active life and play a lot of sports so I didn’t want any LASIK flap dislodging so I stayed away from any LASIK centers which turns out to be nearly every other center in NYC. I chose Park Avenue LASEK since they are the ONLY ones who offered a completely NON-cutting procedure with an extremely successful track record. The fact that Dr Chynn helped invent LASEK when he was at Harvard comforted me and sealed the deal, along with the fact that he has performed 5000 LASIKS so he is a unique position to evaluate the pros and cons of both LASIK and LASEK, providing me with enough information to make a safe and informed decision. Dr. Chynn was also the only surgeon to offer his cell phone number so that I was kept in contact 24/7 in case I had any questions. I couldn’t have felt more reassured! The process went smoothly and Dr Chynn’s professionalism and knowledge kept me informed and comfortable throughout my journey. Thanks to all those at the office. The procedure itself was completely pain-free and now I’m seeing better than I’ve ever seen before even with contacts. In fact, I’m now seeing better than 20/20 thanks to everyone at Park Avenue LASEK.
