I have serious doubts about trusting Park Avenue LASEK after a recent office meeting.  This place seems to be a lot of hype and promises, but delivering disappointment.  I agree with the negative reviews on YELP, this office is out for your money with a non-refundable 2nd opinion/appointment reservation fee of $500.  An extra $300 if you want PreVue Lens.  Miscommunications regarding procedure, scheduling, and fees abound.  I asked about discounts and the 20/15 guarantee in 2015 - totally ignored.  $3500 for one eye, $7000 for two eyes - way overpriced.  I heard many patients voice their disappointment about their surgery at this office.  LASEK is similar to PRK, you're probably better off going elsewhere and getting epi-LASIK by a more competent office.  Don't believe me, simply sit in the waiting room office for an hour.

Was never informed that there would be a $500 2nd opinion fee or the costs of the procedure.

Here is Dr. Chynn's message to me after the fact:

nice seeing you and your wife and ?son today richard, and glad it was a very productive visit
 
sorry mark put your chart and records someplace and we couldn't file them so we had to reprint, and sorry he "forgot" to tell you about the $500 second opinion fee, and that sergii forgot to collect it until after your visit
 
as i made sergii reiterate and hopefully he will remember, it is not a coincidence that our second opinion fee is the same price as our nonrefundable deposit to book your testing, as we actually credit the former towards the  latter. so you have already effectively deposited for your testing day, which is what allowed me to put it in for tue july 5 at 3pm
 
pls reply to ALL if you wish to move that appt
 
as we mentioned, i would suggest a HD LASEK on your right dominant eye to get you to 20/20 for distance with both eyes open, and not lasering your left eye, as you're already 41 and this will help you not need readers until 50. if we lasered both eyes you would not see much better than 20/20 for distance, you'd need readers at 45, and it would be 2x as expensive
 
pls reply to ALL if you have any ?s
 
thanks and see you in july for your PreVue lens and procedure all within 2 days, since you're coming from pitt
 
too bad you won yesterday as that kept my jets out of the playoffs:(
 
yours
