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.
