My experience was great from start to finish. I didn't have to fill out an inordinate amount of papers, the admin staff were beyond nice and helpful. My tests were succinct and (Thank God) I have great vision! He answered all my questions and didn't sell me on future visits or products. Highly recommend.

It was a very professional office. The staff were very courtious and the techs were very knowledgable and helpful.
Dr. Kagan was right to the point, very straight forward with his diagnosis. He talked the talk and in my situation, he started me on a preventive treatment for recovery.
I have complete faith in him!!
I rate him high with several of the doctors out of many who have treated me.

Since 1996 Dr. Kagan has performed over 10,000 successful vision correction (LASIK), ophthalmic, oculoplastic, and facial aesthetic surgical procedures.
His expertise and innovative approach have earned him worldwide recognition among his peers and patients. Just in the last year patients have traveled from as far as Austria, South America, Russia, Australia, New York, Las Vegas, and San Francisco to have him operate on their eyes and their face.
In 2005 Dr. Kagan was chosen as one of the Top Ophthalmologist in the USA by The American Consumer Counsel an independent consumer group.
