Your trust is our top concern.

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.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

5 Stars are not enough, we want to give him a Sky full of STARS. We visited specially from Houston, TX because my Left Eye cataract surgery went wrong so I decided to search for the best Cataract Surgeon and after some online search I find out about Doctor's Doctor, Dr. Uday Devgan. So we decided to go to Los Angeles from Houston. He explained to me everything in details about my Right Eye cataract surgery and which type of Lens will be good for me. After the surgery I get crystal clear vision. Not only Dr Devgan but his Office Staff is also very helpful on every step of the procedure. Dr. Devgan is not only the best Surgeon but also a great person. I will highly recommend him.

I do not reccomand Dr Devgan
My experience as a cataract surgery patient with Dr Devgan was horrible and in fact - traumatic. Dr Devagan yelled at me in front of the operating room’s nurses, while I was already connected to an IV. He threatened not to operate my eye, he put me down when I started crying, and he was overall out of control and frightening. Not someone you ever want to operate on you. Here are the details: A few days before the surgery, Dr. Devgan’s office personnel called me to collect the payment. I was in the middle of driving and couldn't attend it, so I told her I would call back. When I called back, the office voice mail picked up, and I left a message asking them to please call me back so I could pay. We tried to reach each other again, and at her final message the office personnel asked me to bring the payment with me on the morning of the surgery. I called again and left a message confirming that I will definitely do so. When I arrived early in the morning to the operation center, I

During my professional life, I worked with many doctors. Dr. Devgan is a 10 star doctor. I initially went to another cataract doctor that had little eye contact and did not answer my direct questions but told me something else. In her surgery she cuts all around the eye. Dr. Devgan makes a 1/8 in. incision and removes the old lens and puts the new one through that. She wanted $1500 per eye more to use the laser . He does not. He and the folks he employs are extraordinary! Thank you Dr. Devgan!

There are no words for me to possibly thank and commend Dr. Devgan, his staff and his team. Dr. Devgan spent nearly an hour confirming the 6-8 test results, explaining the cataract, its effects and every single treatment option. He explained the benefits, downsides and potential issues. He was thorough, kind, considerate and acted as if this was the first time he’d ever explained this and that I was his only friend on earth going through this. The surgery was scheduled around my schedule. I was in constant communication. I chose the Panoptic Trifocal Lens. The surgery was quick, painless, and miraculous. From the moment I sat up from the surgery the world was brand new. It’s like someone pulled back the curtains and showed me all the things I was missing. I tried to schedule my next eye while on the operating gurney. Within hours my eye was back to normal and my vision was nearly perfect. My left eye was 20/10! I couldn’t be any happier!

Zero pain and seemingly instant recovery. Dr Devgan is top-notch. Clearly an expert who exudes confidence, and passion while retaining a professional demeanor; this was immediately apparent and re-assuring upon first consultation. So, I went in with a severe cataract, which he effortlessly removed and corrected my near-sighted astigmatism with an implant. Two weeks later, I went in for the simpler Lasik procedure in the other eye, and now I see better than 20/20, it's unbelievable! Nothing was left to question from pre-op to post-op, including real-time updates during the procedure which for me, was comforting. The outcome has had a profound effect on my day to day life and for that I can't thank you enough...Thank You Dr. Devgan!

I am an active 76-years young grandparent that educates children with many life lessons through my platform as a professional tennis teacher. Within the last two years I have noticed that my vision seemed to be diminishing, especially while driving after dark. I went to an eye doctor in New Orleans I was told that I had the “C” word, cataracts. Upon returning to Los Angeles I received a referral from my physical therapist to go to Dr. Uday Devgan. I typically do not go to a doctor whose name

At 45 years of age, night driving became very difficult for me, I assumed I needed a new prescription for my glasses. To my dismay it was cataracts. The thought of having cataract surgery at my age was scary. After consulting with Dr. Devgan he assured me that while slightly uncommon for a person of my age, this surgery was not rare and on top of removing the cataracts, he would correct my severe nearsightedness as well as my astigmatism. As someone who has worn glasses all my life this sounded

As an ophthalmologist myself, I chose Dr. Uday Devgan to perform my LASIK procedure because he is known in our profession to have the best outcomes and lowest complications. Dr. Devgan is not only known for having gifted surgical hands, but he also trains ophthalmology residents, so he is always on the cutting edge of our field. My experience with Dr. Devgan and his office was absolutely perfect. Dr. Devgan is an amazing surgeon and I now have 20/15 vision in both eyes!

My experience with Uday was so good that when the treatment and followup came to a conclusion, I was saddened that I would not be seeing him again for a whole year. When you consider that I flew in from Phoenix to los Angeles for the privilege, that is really something. I am very happy with the surgical results and the caring manner and enthusiasm for each patient that he shows. I chose Uday over surgeons in my home town and elsewhere in the US due to his visibility on the world stage of Opht

My cataracts had reached the point where my quality of life had deteriorated greatly. I am 74 and tennis is my passion. I was not seeing clearly on the court or when I drove my car. Blessedly, my family doctor told me she knew the best surgeon in California and recommended Dr Devgen. I called his office for a consultation. A month later, Dr Devgan, simple the kindest and best eye surgeon one could hope to find, has enhanced my well-being greatly.

Dr Devgan is a gift !! My cataract surgery, in his incredibly deft hands, was flawless. His engaging and compassionate manner, gave me the assurance that all would be well. His competence, wonderful demeaner and expertise made my surgery seem routine. He truly cares about his patients and spends whatever time is necessary to answer questions and assuage concerns. I feel so fortunate to have been recommended to him by two Opthamalogists, one of whom knew of him from Philadelphia, PA. Yes, a gift!

I have worn glasses since I was five years old. (thick milk bottles ) When I needed a cataract operation, i was frightened that I would loose what ever vision I had left. I was recommended to Dr. Devgan by a friend.I was very much taken by his manner and his enthusiasm. He made me feel very comfortable. The operation was successful and I have no need to wear glasses except for reading. After seventy years of wearing heavy, uncomfortable glasses, I am free to do sports and exercises easily.

Dr. Uday Devgan is an outstanding cataract surgeon. Not only did he remove extremely thick and troublesome cataracts from both my eyes but because my eyes are extremely sensitive (severe myopia, history of retinal bleeding and even a scleral buckle on my right eye) his procedures were so flawless, painless and carried out with such passion and affection that I was in awe. After a lifetime of myopia and buildup of severe cataracts for the last 10 years I now enjoy 20-20 vision on both eyes !
