Manhattan Face and Eye

Dr. Chelnis and his team are phenomenal. His front desk staff is friendly and accommodating. The office is well kept and very professional. The clinical assistants are sharp. Dr. Chelnis himself is knowledgeable, listens to you, and is excellent at what he does. This is what great medicine looks like. I will be referring family and friends who need aesthetic facial care and eyelid procedures to this practice.

I can’t say enough great things about Manhattan Face and Eye and Dr. Chelsi James. After dealing with a post-surgery condition in my right eye, I went to see Dr. James — and from the very first visit, I knew I was in the best hands. He was professional, patient, and incredibly kind, taking the time to explain each step of my treatment and answer all my questions. His attention to detail and genuine concern for my healing made all the difference. The entire office staff was equally wonderful — organized, friendly, and caring throughout the process. Thanks to Dr. James’s expertise, my eye has improved tremendously. I’m so grateful for his care and would recommend Manhattan Face and Eye to anyone looking for exceptional medical attention and compassion.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Chelnis and his team. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed. Dr. Chelnis explains everything and answers all questions (and I had a lot!) with patience and compassion. I'm very grateful that I found Dr. Chelnis and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring doctor.

I had a positive experience with Dr. Chelnis. I sought out a specialist to have a better understanding of what was happening and what my options were. Dr. Chelnis is very thorough in answering questions and just really comfortable to speak with. His team was gracious to fit me in for a second appt amid his full schedule. Happy with the results and care — thank you!

Dr. Chelnis is not only my trusted eye doctor, but also my new beauty guru. His expertise goes far beyond vision care—his precision with both injections and laser treatments is unmatched. I felt completely at ease knowing I was in the hands of a true professional who balances medical knowledge with an artistic eye. The results are natural and exactly what I hoped for.

Highly recommend Dr Chelnis and his team. Very friendly, responsive and well run practice - and he does great work too - sharing every detail of the procedure, what to expect and how you will feel post surgery. I didn’t realize how much I was missing until Dr Chelnis did my eye lid lift. Thanks for everything.

First the staff is very friendly and helpful. I was nervous about the procedure at first but speaking with staff calmed me. During the procedure I thought it would be painful but it really wasn't. Dr. Chenlis was very friendly and calming. He explained everything and it went very well. I had no pain during the procedure he explained it step by step. When the anesthesia wore off after the procedure. I had a little soreness and swelling but that was expected. I would definitely recommend. Now a week later swelling is down and everything is back to normal.

I was referred to Dr Chelnis by my ophthalmologist regarding what appeared to be a cyst under my eyelid. I wasn't feeling any pain or discomfort with it being there BUT I could see it and I could physically feel it through the eyelid. Dr Chelnis and his team were super responsive during the entire process. From scheduling the initial appointment to scheduling the actual procedure and then the post-op process and appointments. I'm about a month out from the surgery and my eye is basically back to normal. You'd be in good hands with Dr Chelnis...and his team!

Dr. Chelnis did a repair on my lower eyelid. He explained the whole process, answered all my questions and performed the surgery with skill and compassion. He and his staff have provided a great experience. My procedure was covered by insurance. He does perform a wide range of elective procedures, so he is very busy. When I needed a quick follow up he made time for me. 5 stars!

I’ve witnessed Dr. Chelnis’s patient care firsthand—thorough, gentle, and highly professional. He exemplifies what compassionate ophthalmology should be.
