I went to Gotham Lasik last week and had surgery. Im so happy with my results. I now have 20/15!!! I still can't believe I can see. I have been to different centers in the last month trying to make a choice. There were so many to choose from. When I went to Gotham Lasik I knew in the first 20 minutes of being there, I would book. The office was the nicest and cleanest place i have been to. I got to meet Dr. Bonnani the day of my consult. It was very important to me speak to the doctor before I book my surgery. It was nice to be treated like a patient and not a customer. Thanks Doc!
Pros: Great space, very clean, good service

I am a fan of Dr. B. He was so nice and trust worthy. I went to 3 places before I made the decision and I liked his track record and confidence the best. You do not want to feel like just a number, I felt like the people there actually cared how I felt... my nervousness and everything. :) I had my surgery on a Saturday last month and the Dr. called me on the next day. I have NEVER had a Dr. call ME on a Sunday. I was shocked. If you are considering Lasik... consider Gotham Lasik Vision
Pros: the Doctor, service

Went here after going to five other places - I like to take my time in coming to an important decision concerning my vision. By far the most comfortable, informative, and professional place around; from the moment I first entered the place to when I left after my surgery a month ago.
It was the only place where the doctor took the time and answered all my questions (yes, I did have a lot, but the other places wanted to take my money and rush me out). And I didn't have to book surgery or put a deposit down just to see the surgeon like other places.
I did a lot of research on the web and found a lot of it confusing and contradictory, so I was glad Dr. Bonanni went into great detail to everything I asked about. There was no question he didn't answer at length, no matter how stupid it probably was. I finally got an understanding of what the real advances have been in the past few years and what is just marketing hype. He went over the risks and what the best procedure for me was for my particular situation and eye characteristics.
Everyone at Gotham treated me with respect and made me feel at home. And a big plus, there was none of the 'used car' salesman pressure I found at other places. (And the price was very fair.) At times it got busy, but it seems like they allow enough time for each patient so I never had to wait long to be seen.
Anyway, I am so thankful I went here to get my surgery. I am better than 20/20 (actually 20/15!) And everyone in the waiting area when I was there had the same results. We were a happy little family. I can recommend Gotham Lasik with no hesitation and I think Dr. Bonanni is the greatest.
Pros: In every detail a great lasik place
Cons: Can't think of any

I have played baseball for many years and have been told to try out professionally. Every time I would try out for some big team, my eyes would always be the problem. I usually wear contacts when I play, which easily fall out at times, costing me big errors.
Since the league prohibits players from wearing glasses on the field, I have to wear these big nasty goggles, which are very ugly looking and annoying. I finally considered LASIK surgery after one of my teammates just went through with the procedure. He recommended that I try out Gotham Lasik Vision in Midtown, because the yare simply the best there is. After the game I went home and did my research and had to agree with him. I had scheduled a free consultation the next day, which revealed that I am a perfect candidate for the surgery.
I was able to actually have my surgery done in two weeks following the consultation. Now, I am playing better then ever and the ball has been clearer then I have ever seen. My batting average went up .050 in two weeks and I will eventually try out for a big team again come next season. I would have never had this much confidence and accuracy in my game if it wasn’t for Gotham LASIK Vision. I have already recommended them to the rest of the team and my family. Play ball!!
Pros: Perfect Vision!
Cons: None!

First impression was positive and informative.
However, I ended up being treated as a stack of cash rather than a patient. It was all about how much money I can give and how quick.
Dr. did not answer some of my questions clearly, such as personal negligent cases or long term side effects his previous patients have experienced, and just moved on to another subject.
I also found them mudslinging their competitors very unprofessional.
Please do yourself a favor and do more research.
Pros: Warming and friendly environment
Cons: Salesy, unprofessional.

I looked at many different places in my search for Lasik. I found a lot of the places in NYC to be a little pushy & sales-y. The procedure is such an investment I really wanted to feel like I was in a capable Doctor's office, not a used car sales lot. I thought that some of the places had staff that was really doing the "Hard sell" and I even had to pay to get a consultation! That is what lead me to Gotham Lasik Vision. They had a free consultation policy and I felt the staff welcoming and pleasant. I was offered a latte (which was nice... was not offered more than once though) :) Dr. Bonanni was a very knowledgeable and sweet. I felt much better after leaving the office. Better about the procedure that was scheduled for the next week and better about finding a place where I did not feel as if I was being "Sold." Now my vision is rear perfect and my recovery was smooth sailing.
Pros: Great staff, great doctor & free consultations
Cons: not the cheapest price, but I felt the investment worth it

So it got to the point where I was so annoyed with having to bring my glasses every where I went, that I started to consider getting Lasik. My vision isn't horrible but its just bad enough to where it's annoying. I only wear glasses to see far away and having just moved to NYC I found myself bringing a map and of course, my glasses, every where I went. The fact that I would have to bring them whenever I left the house, just so I could see the street signs to save me from walking in the opposite direction , really started to urk me!
So I did some research online, read reviews, and talked to some people who had had the surgery. I heard and read amazing things about Gotham and Dr. Bonanni, but I thought I would check out some other places as well. I mean it is my eyes I'm def. going to have to have a couple of opinions and options.
So, it was time for my appt. at Gotham and when I walked in, the office was awesome and huge! They offered me a latte (which I kindly took of course) and sat down expecting to wait a half hour like other doctor offices. Nope, out came Dr. Bonnani, himself, to greet me and take me back to start some tests. I watched a little video about the procedure, asked 1 million questions (which he answered very patiently and honestly). Thank youuu, finally an honest Doctor who really wants you to understand what will be going on before, during and after your procedure. I then met with the Managing Director who went over pricing and my options. I was all for the financing they told me about, took a lot of anxiety away that I had about paying for the procedure.
The whole time I was at Gotham, I kept thinking to myself wow I am actually getting to meet with Dr. Bonanni! Unlike the other places that I had went to for a consultation, they wanted me to pay $100 or more to even see the Doctor and see if I was a candidate. Um, I thought that was a bit ridiculous. Not at Gotham, a Free consultation really meant Free and meant that I was seeing the Doctor himself. :)
Leaving relaxed, confident, knowledgeable and super excited about my procedure in 2 weeks, it couldn't come quick enough.
I have had my procedure now and my vision was absolutely perfect 20/15 when I left the office. Wahooo!
See ya annoying glasses and hello perfect vision. I can't thank Dr. B enough, he truly is a superb Doctor and I couldn't be happier!
Pros: Awesome down to earth Doctor who is completely honest

I just got Lasik Surgery on July 24, 2009 & the next day I was perfectly fine and could see 110% clearly. The surgery was painless and quick. Dr. Bonanni is an exceptional doctor who is honest, patient with questions or concerns, and absolutely the best at what he does.
I did lots of research on different doctors in the Manhattan, and he is by far the best. Getting lasik is the best decision that I have ever made personally, and I would recommend Dr. Bonanni of Gotham Lasik to anyone considering the surgery. I have already referred a peer who had the surgery the Monday after me and she is also extremely happy.
The office is very friendly and the staff makes you feel right at home. They did not sell or push Lasik on me. It was my decison, I inquired, and all they did was change my life in such a positive way.

From the minute I walked into the Gotham LASIK office I knew this was not your typical doctors’ office. I could not believe how upscale and gorgeous it was! The pictures do no justice you really need to experience this for yourself. They even offer you a cappuccino while you wait! Am I in heaven?! After my consultation with Dr. Bonanni himself, I decided to book a date to have the surgery done. I love the fact that I had my actual consultation with Dr. Bonanni. I have been to many other LASIK Centers around the tri state area and I was usually thrown to some pushy salesman who just saw me as another potential sale. At Gotham, I felt like I was part of their family, rather then just another patient. There was a great level of comfort through and through.
About the surgery: The surgery was the most quickest and painless surgery I have ever experienced in my life. Dr. Bonanni had gotten rid of any fear I may have had previously by describing what kind of machine they use (Allegretto Wave), how the procedure is TOTALLY BLADELESS, and then spoke to me through every step of the surgery. I am now at 20/15 (better then 20/20) two days later and I am still amazed. Did I mention that you get two years of follow up visits included? That is something I have never heard of! I am so pleased with the results and service that I am recommending everyone I know there!
Pros: Great staff, great surgery, gorgeous office.
Cons: No way!

At first, the whole idea of getting my vision corrected from LASIK surgery was something I have never even considered. I did not believe that a laser would actually make my vision perfect, and the whole idea of a laser in my eye frightened me. Although I was tired of wearing glasses to work and contacts to special events, I still was skeptical about LASIK surgery. I have heard so many stories about how painful, expensive, and unsafe it was. After a referral from a family member, who had a successful experience with it, I decided to redo my research. Sure enough Gotham Lasik Vision came up as one of the top LASIK centers in Manhattan. I even met with Dr. Brian Bonanni, who was extremely knowledgeable and caring. He performed numerous diagnostic tests on me, in order to find out if I was a candidate or not and had answered all of my questions. It turns out I was. When I finally had the surgery done, it was amazing. I was 20/15 the next day and my vision is as clear as ever. It was completely painless and took ten minutes! I want to thank my cousin for literally opening my eyes and recommending Gotham Lasik to me. Their level of professionalism and understanding was a great comfort for me.
Pros: Professional, Friendly Staff
Cons: None!
