Dr. Kagan is my primary care provider with the VA. He has given me great care and medical advice for several years. He is personable and understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Kagan.

Review for Dr. Kagan

He loads the patient up with so much antipsychotics that one becomes a virtual zombie.

Apr 18 2025

Review for Dr. Tolliver

I believe that the first visit to a specialist you should see the doctor, not the PA. I was not told how I did on the breathing tests I did before or after the medication.

Review for Dr. Thomas

Dr.Kagan provides excellent follow up with my medical needs, and provides outstanding medical care second to none! I feel fortunate to have him as my Primary Care Physician, and know I am in good hands at VAMC.
