Not Just an Eye Doctor

Monday, July 6th, 2009

By Alexis Wolfer–July 3, 2009– “One-stop-shop for your medical and cosmetic eye care needs”

Instead of going to a cosmetic surgeon for your sagging eyes and an opthamologist for your vision, it is now possible to one-stop-shop for all your eyecare needs at Dr. Bonanni’s new Gotham Lasik and Skincare.

Dr. Bonanni is a fellowship-trained corneal and refractive surgeon as well as a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American and European Societies of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, and the International Society of Refractive Surgery. While the qualifications are impressive, he is most sought by celebrities, music moguls, models, and business executives for his unique approach to overall “eye rejuvenation.”

In addition to general ophthalmology, Lasik, and corneal procedures, Dr. Bonanni does Botox and restylane injections and various other eye-rejuvenation treatments. “In my practice, I have a lot of Lasik surgery patients who come back for their cosmetic needs like Botox and facial fillers,” Bonanni says. “As an ophthalmologist, my patients realize that I know the anatomy and function of the eye and face better than even a plastic surgeon would.”

Gotham Lasik and Skincare may not only be better qualified to address all your eye issues, but could also be a serious time saver for those on the run. I look forward to the day my dentist will give me Denise Richards’ lips after a teeth cleaning. It’s probably only a matter of time.

NY Examiner- June 29th, Gabrielle Long- Beauty Secrets Examiner

One of the few surgeons in the world to have extensive experience with, and to be certified on, all the major laser platforms available in the country today, Dr. Bonanni is a fellowship-trained corneal and refractive surgeon who has performed over 35,000 successful laser refractive procedures. He is an expert in all types of laser vision correction; including LASIK, PRK, and LASEK, along with the new non-laser surgical modalities for refractive eye correction.

Dr. Bonanni has opened his own practice on West 56th – called Gotham Lasik and Skincare. Finally, there is a go-to doctor for lasik eye procedures. When people think of top derms, they think of Wexler, Brandt, etc., but there is not really a well known doctor for lasik…until now.

He is the sought after doctor for lasik surgery among celebs, models, business moguls, etc. His calming manner and charming personality make him the doctor of choice for New York’s elite J. He is also one of the only doctors in the state with Wavelight Allegretto Excimer, the type of surgery that does not require making cuts on the surface of the eye (although he offers that too for people who are not right for the newer technology.)

Besides his reputation and clientele, his overall approach to “eye rejuvenation” makes him unique. In addition to lasik (and general ophthalmology, corneal treatments, etc), he also does botox and restylane injections (amongst other kinds of injections) – his whole philosophy is that he offers a one-stop shop for your eyes – ditch the glasses and dry/red eyes from contacts and at the same time (if you want to) take off years with injections, etc. – a total eye makeover.
