Laser and Corneal Surgery Associates

I’m a (CXL) Cornea Cross-linking Patient with Keratoconus. Dr. Abramson went out of her way to make sure I felt confident in my knowledge of the procedure and its importance for my specific case of Keratoconus in each eye. She truly listened to me and made a treatment plan that would maximize my quality of life between treatments and helped me to weigh and balance my options based on her expert opinion. The truth is, CXL won’t help me to see better most likely. And I’m so grateful for this surgeon’s honesty. She helped me set my expectations about outcomes and made it clear she’s just a text or call away if I’m ever concerned. Dr. Avila was the Optometrist who evaluated my candidacy. She was very kind and answered all of my questions. Samantha reviewed my financial options and I was treated with kindness by Karla (the technician who took my measurements and assisted with my procedure) and the front desk staff at each visit.Their team has great synergy from the front office to the surgical suite. I’ve only know myself to have Keratoconus for 2 months and it took the expert care and consideration of four practitioners to get me to this sight-preserving surgery. I urge anyone in the New York tri-state area to make an appointment and learn about their approach. NOTE: Because their machine is not FDA approved you will have to come out of pocket, but the surgery costs the least her office could reasonably charge and it covers follow up appointments for your recovery period. Additionally, Dr. Abramson is a pioneer in the space of CXL having participated in clinical research/trials over the years. She thoroughly understands the procedure for sensitive and complex cases. She goes for what works even when the US is behind the global standard of practice/care. I’ll update with how things are going at each milestone (this is 2/19…4days post op).

We had a great experience with Dr. Speaker! And his staff is amazing too!
