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.

Very Professional
Had my LASIK procedure done with Dr. Kelly and I am so pleased with the results. Went in for a yearly follow up last week and I am so happy with my quality of vision. Dr. Kelly and his staff are wonderful and his office space is beautiful!

Thrilled with My 2015 Vision After LASIK!
I had LASIK surgery last year, and I’m very happy with the results. It’s been incredible to have 2015 vision and not rely on glasses anymore. The staff is super friendly and nice everytime I visit. The procedure was quick, and everything went smoothly. Overall, I’m grateful for the excellent care and would definitely recommend going to Dr. Kelly.

Great Staff and Services
I went to get lasik on March 2018 and don't regret it. Staff was friendly and patient through the consultation process and I was given a monthly payment option as part of my budget. My vision is perfect, and I visit every year for my annual eye exams and never experienced health complications post-surgery. Definitely recommend.

Amazing treatment!
I had lasik eye surgery done in 2023 after wearing glasses my whole life and let’s say that it was one of the best decisions of my life to get this procedure done. I now see 20-15 out of both eyes and couldn’t be happier. The staff is amazing and you will be treated like family!

Highly recommend
I highly recommend Dr.Kelly and his Team in Manhattan.I was nervous as to be expected but from my consultation through to my post op check ups it’s been nothing but seamless.The day of surgery they were very reassuring but also very realistic they gave strict aftercare instructions which I followed and thankfully had a very speedy recovery. The surgery itself was extremely quick the hardest part was not being able to touch my eyes when they were stinging and burning as you naturally want to so I kept them closed and slept it off BUT by the next day I could open my eyes I could SEE and the pain was minimal just like grit in my eyes that lasted on and off for 5 days and since then I have barely even had to use lubricating eye drops. It has been an amazing transformation and I love not wearing glasses everyday now.As most people say my only regret is not having got it done sooner!

The best experience and investment.
I was considering lasik surgery for more than 8 years ago. I was really scared of any type of surgery, but Kelly and his staff make me feel at easy. I didn't know my vision was so affected until I got the surgery. The feeling of seeing the world with my own eyes and more clearly is amazing. I cannot describe this feeling of fullfilness. I just can say than a doctor is known for his work and Kelly nailed it. Thank you for giving me back something that I thought would be gone forever.

Amazing results! Amazing team! Amazing place!
Its been two years since my LASIK at Kelly Vision and my vision is still perfect! The team always has and continues to treat me like I am part of the family. They care about how I am feeling on top of how my eyes are feeling. I look forward to each checkup. If you are thinking about LASIK, do not hesitate to use Kelly Vision. I have been to both the Manhattan and Garden City offices. Both offices are immaculate. I really do feel at home with the Kelly Vision team.

Dr. Kelly and his staff were professional, confident, and above all reassuring during my entire experience. Under going a procedure on the eyes can be nerve wracking, but I felt safe in the hands of Dr. Kelly. I will recommend his excellent care to friends and family.

Incredible Team to trust your eyes to
While the premise of no contacts no glasses was alluring, the fear associated with laser eye surgery was tough to get over.I spent some time trying to convince myself and even visited a few different locations getting an idea of the process and cost associated.However, it was really different walking into Kelly Vision Center. The team there was kind, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable about the surgery options and took all the time to explain everything to me.I went into the consultation not expecting to book the surgery within the next two weeks. But Dr. Kelly and his staff had my complete trust and respect. I knew my eyes were in safe, well trained hands.I'm a few months post Lasik and I have thankfully zero regrets or issues. Amazing experience the whole way, including all the post Lasik examinations to make sure everything is healing well.If you're considering it, pick this team to trust your life changing experience too!

Excellent experiences!
I’ve been coming here for over a year since Dr Kelly performed my LASIK surgery, which was very smooth, and I had several post op appointments which were so helpful, and I now see them for regular checkups. I’d recommend this office to anyone in search of a knowledgeable team of eye doctors.

LASIK
I just went through my LASIK procedure at Dr. Kelly’s Office. I have wanted to do it for years but was hesitant due to not having the right person to perform it. That is until I went into Dr.Kelly’s office. The procedure was painless and I had minimal discomfort following. I now have excellent vision and could not be happier.

Best decision ever
I had ICL surgery with Dr. Kelly at Kelly Vision Center over a year ago, and my experience has been fantastic. Dr. Kelly and his team were professional, caring, and thorough from start to finish. The procedure was smooth, and my vision improved dramatically with no complications. Their attention to detail and post-surgery support were exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Kelly for anyone considering vision correction.

LASIK procedure
Had a great experience with Dr.Kelly and his team, I liked that I got to meet with the actual surgeon prior to my procedure, it made it feel more personal and put me at ease with him answering all my questions. He’s very nice and took his time to address any of my concerns. Would recommend his practice if you’re wanting lasik done.
