We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Dr. Kagan and his staff are the best. Efficient and detailed at what they do. Had my MRI on Thursday and Dr. Kagan personally called me back with results of MRI on a Saturday night- very responsive, concerned about his patients and not just a nine to five Mon thru Fri Doctor! Would highly recommend!

If you are in need of quality orthopedic surgery, Dr. Kagan is the man to see in South Florida. I was assisted quickly upon both visits, and the MRI and X-Ray process was quick and painless. His staff was clearly experienced, and the office had been recently remodeled and had a modern and clean feeling. I definitely will be recommending him to my friends and family!

Unacceptable. In August made an appointment for November. One of the first to sign in. An hour+ later still waiting. Was told by the staff that I would be taken in "a little while". Terrible way to run a practice.

Dr Kagan is amazing. He read my x-rays and found I did not need a new hip but was suffering from an inflamed Bursa Sac. He gave me a shot in the Bursa and I feel great.

Dr Kagan is a Phenomenal Surgeon! ! He's proformed 3 surgeries on me. Two of the surgeries I had already had done elsewhere. Those "Surgeons" Botched me. Upon speaking with my Lawyers they had recommended Dr Kagan to me. Already skeptical, due to everything I had already been through. I went to see Dr Kagan . He set my mind at ease. He requested new MRI's , he reached out to me with his findings . We then scheduled the surgery dates. His follow up was impeccable!
Thank You Dr Kagan!

This was my first visit with Dr. K. He greeted me like we were old friends. He needed to remove the fluid from my knee and relieve the severe pain. I was TERRIFIED and started crying and went to leave. He took my hand and said quietly, You came all this way and you are in so much pain. LEt me help you.
Talked to me during entire process distracting me.
He was wonderful! !
