Dr. Kagan is an Amazing Doctor.

Great Doctor and place.

I am 72 years old and I worked as a programmer. When I needed to correct vision me worrisome that tampering with my vision could change my career, therefore I have decided to choose the best expert in California, who doesn't want the very best?

I was referred to Dr. Arkady Kagan by a girlfriend of my wife - he is a highly professional doctor, exceptional service. I had heard great things about this doctor. However, I was hesitant because, well, it’s my eyesight and I wouldn’t just trust anyone - I had a very complicated situation - my vision before was very poor and I could not see clearly from the distance and near, I almost couldn’t see and was only getting worse. I had cataracts in both eyes and in one eye was very poor. But when I heard about Dr. Kagan and his phenomenal procedures, I gave in - I went for a consultation as I couldn’t read anymore.

Today Dr. Kagan is simply the best in Los Angeles. He is Honest, Professional, Knowledgeable. Extensively explains all alternatives, so his patients can make the best educated decision for themselves. He gave me a thorough evaluation on my eye problems.

In addition to him being a fantastic doctor he has friendly office staff always makes you comfortable and accommodating. I have been seeing Dr Kagan and his crew for a few months now, and they are really quite amazing. Great stuff, beautiful offices, lots of attention and care. I really like how doctor gives eye contact, answers questions, ask questions, explains procedures - it made me feel comfortable. Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, very knowledgeable and understanding doctor made a huge impression on me. They became like family after seeing them multiple time through my multiple visits for the procedure and check-ups. And I trusted Dr. Kagan with this procedure because of his many years of experience, credentials, excellent results and his latest top equipment. Arkady promised I would see and probably never have to wear glasses again.

After extensive research when I went in on the day of my surgery, my nervousness faded (primarily due to Dr. Kagan’s knowledge, caring attitude, and his staff’s understanding). September 5, 2019 for right eye and October 17, 2019 for left eye entire process from start to finish went exactly as they said it would. Everything went smooth and without complications. My surgery was very successful.
It has been 2 days since I had my second eye operated on and I am glad to report that i am doing well. The results are amazing. I can’t believe how 20-minute procedure could so immediately and drastically change my vision...and therefore my life!

Dr. Arkady Kagan is a true miracle worker! I was nearly blind in one eye. I could barely see an eye. It is rare that your expectations are exceeded. I’m a programmer, so I was able to do computer programming in 1 days after correction!!! Yet today, just one day after eye surgery by Dr. Kagan, I can already read very fine print with that eye and still cannot believe it! I see both far and near with both eyes with no glasses.

The world around me has changed. It’s become brighter, happier, and so much more wonderful. It really is like magic. I’m amazed by just how clear the world that surrounds me is. I was totally amazed at seeing things I had never seen before and the brightness of colors. This is a very new and unusual feeling for me, and I gradually get to it.

I'm very thankful to Arkady Kagan for perfect correction of my vision to 100 %. I don't need to use glasses anymore! Thank you, Dr Kagan and staff you did, an awesome job. I’m 100% satisfied. Remember, the most important - high quality! It truly is life changing.

I think Dr. Kagan and his team are the best in Ls Angeles. He is not only a great ophthalmologist and surgeon; he also does great cosmetic work. Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend Dr. Kagan to anyone who needs an eye surgery or a cosmetic procedure.
And I have told my family and friends that if they need eye care the best Dr. in L.A. is Arkady Kagan. He is very honest. When I brought in my wife for cataract surgery, he let us know that it wasn't necessary and too early at the time whereas other doctors tried to rush us into the procedure in 2001!
We'll be coming here for years to come! Every review on the Internet gives Dr. Kagan, who was named American's top ophthalmologist in 2004.
