Uday Devgan, MD

I was referred to Dr. Devgan for cataract surgery because I’m a high risk for retinal detachment. Apparently he is versed in dealing with difficult eye cases. I am also severely myopic. Dr. Devgan and his staff are kind, reassuring and professional in all levels of care. He responded to my concerns immediately, did an amazing job surgically and I can see better than I have in years. I fully recommend him as a surgical physician and would return if I ever encountered any further issues.

Had successful cataract surgery May 2015. Now, one year later, still going strong. Dr. Devgan did a great job. I would highly recommend him.

Amazing doctor — amazing procedure! Both eyes done.
Painless, easy and so successful… I can’t thank you enough, Dr. Devgan!

Dr Devgan is a miracle worker! I spent 5 frustrating years trying to correct my vision. I couldn’t wear contacts and I couldn’t see well with or without my glasses. I had cataracts; however, several ophthalmologist told me they weren’t «ripe». A new ophthalmologist recommended Dr Devgan and I had cataract surgery on both eyes. With the new corrective lenses he put into my eyes I see everything far and near. I no longer where glasses and I only need 1.25 reading glasses for very very small print and dim lights.
The office staff is great. Everyone respects my appointment time, hardly any waiting. Dr Devgan is fabulous. Every Dr should take lessons from him!

I did a lot of research before I chose Dr. Devgan. He’s Chief of Ophthalmology at Olive View-​UCLA Medical Ctr. He’s an inventor of eye surgical tools with patents to his name. His impressive list of credentials goes on and on. He has lots of instructional videos for doctors on Youtube. He’s easy to access online, a super friendly relaxed guy who asked me to call him by his first name and answers all emails, and is very passionate about his work.
I saw two other surgeons before seeing Dr. Devgan, and went through their eval process. Neither had as modern equipment as Dr. Devgan. Dr. Devgan had fabulous before and after photos of my eyes. Dr. Devgan noticed things about my eyes and vision that neither of the other doctors mentioned. Dr. Devgan gave me the details of his approach to my more complex situation in an email so I could understand it.
His office is lovely, clean, classy etc. Everyone is super nice and accommodating and the paperwork was quick and simple. The surgery took place at a small surgical center in Beverly Hills. The surgical staff was organized and pleasant. You have your own nurse and anesthesiologist. A friend can come in with you while you are prepped.
Then they wheel you in to the surgery room. By then you are feeling wonderful from the anesthesia. They take control of your eye so you don’t have to worry about blinking. I saw some lights above my eye and what appeared to be multi-​colored marbles rolling around for a while. It seemed like 4 minutes but it must have been longer. I didn’t feel a thing. Then they rolled me back into the surgery prep room. They gave me some apple juice and sat me up and let me wait until I was ready to walk out.
The 2^nd surgery was a little different — I don’t remember seeing the colored marbles — only some white lights. Also this time I noticed the sensation of something propping my eye-​lid open for a moment. And after that I remembered even less and it seemed to be over even quicker. Of course you feel nothing as your eye is fully anesthetized.
In both surgeries I had acrylic toric lenses implanted to correct my nearsightedness and astigmatism. I need reading glasses for paper and monitors up close — just the same as when I wore contacts. I can usually squint to make out text if glasses aren’t handy.
When I got home from the first surgery I noticed all sorts of interesting things. The sky in the fixed eye was blue — and the right eye that hadn’t had the surgery yet — the sky was tan-​colored.
For 3 days before the surgery and 7 days after you do a bunch of eye drops throughout the day. Then there’s one drop you continue with at night for 3 more weeks. They need to be kept cool but not freezing. Check instructions on each eye drop as they are all different. I kept mine in a portable cooler with some ice as our fridge was too cold for one of them.
I now have ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision. Thank you so much Dr. Devgan and staff!

Dr. Devgan and his staff are the best. My vision (cataracts) in both eyes is now exceptional! Dr Devgan explains everything thoroughly and answers any and all questions. I could not have asked for a better experience and outcome!

Awesome!
31 days later and I’m ²⁰⁄₂₀. Experiencing a bit of dryness and light sensitivity but an easy trade for sight. Surgery was painless/​quick and the staff was very friendly/​professional. Ultimately you pay for what you get, Dr. Devgan is the best and my experience only solidified that. Thanks Dr. Devgan!

I was referred to Dr. Uday Devgan by ophthalmologist Dr. Michael Miller. I needed cataract surgery, but my case was difficult due to prior RK surgery. Dr. Miller felt Dr. Devgan has the expertise necessary to perform such difficult surgery.
His staff and colleges treat you with the upmost respect and courtesy. They are exceptionally helpful with any concerns you might have. Dr. Devgan takes the time to explain in detail the procedure and address any concerns. They are all very professional. I would most definitely refer my family and friends to Dr. Devgan.
I am ecstatic about the results.

I consider Dr. Devgan to be one of the best cataract surgeons in the world. He also runs one of the most professional offices I have ever seen. The equipment is cutting edge and his surgical skill is extremely impressive. His support staff was excellent. I was a very challenging case and searched for a surgeon with experience with high myopes. As a 44 year old with early cataracts and extremely long eyes, I was concerned that I would not be able to play sports and work as needed. Dr. Devgan was confident and straightforward with me and put me at ease. The surgery went very well and he took me from a –20 or more to a –0.25 and –2.00. Every doctor I see is impressed with the work he has done. I am very grateful!

From the moment you enter the office you are treated with great respect from an exceptionally helpful office staff. My wait time until I was taken back to an exam room was 5 minutes or less. The technician placed several drops in my eye, did readings, and finished with dilation of my eye.
Dr. Devgan came in. Very friendly and courteous. He did some more testing, then showed me the results and photos of my cataract on the computer. He explained in detail how the surgery would be done and exactly what to expect afterwards.
Surgery was EXACTLY as described. I felt absolutely no pain (they use conscious sedation) and 7 minutes after Dr Devgan began he was finished.
At the follow-​up visit the next morning he was very pleased. I have ²⁰⁄₂₀ in the eye from which the cataract was removed. He showed me the video of the Surgery (he asked if I would like to see it before showing the video).
I will be back when the other cataract is ripe for the picking.
I moved here to LA from NM. I have been disappointed with every physician I have gone to. I felt (and for the most part still do) that CA physicians were in the bottom 1% of their respective graduating classes. Dr. Devgan is the polar opposite to that. He is highly skilled, friendly and explains everything accurately on what to expect.
Two huge thumbs-​up for Devgan Eye. You could not make a better choice for ocular surgery!

Got LASIK last month, went absolutely perfectly. Dr. Devgan and his staff made me feel so at ease that it felt like I was getting a haircut rather than eye surgery. Would highly, highly recommend him to anyone even thinking about LASIK!

I was referred to Dr. Devgan by a colleague whose eyes were greatly improved through his care. He performed two cataract surgeries and lens implants. for me My vision has improved tremendously, and I no longer wear glasses which is wonderful.
Dr. Devgan is extremely professional and provides the most current procedures and expertise. His reassuring and caring manner make him exceptional. The office staff is helpful, informed, and excellent as well. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan for any ophthalmological needs.

This Dr. Devgan is a great doctor i never saw better in my entire life. He removed a cataract and corrected my eyesight at the same time! I got lucky to find him I suggest you use him if you are having cataract surgery ! The experience could not have been better and the Dr. Devgan is super nice and professional! A 10 out of 10 use him and be happy you read Unilocal

I wanted to get Lasik surgery because I was starting my career as a gastroenterologist and did not want to deal with clunky glasses and unreliable contacts. I went to Dr Devgan at the suggestion of a co-​worker and I am very happy I went to him for Lasik surgery. From day one, I had such an amazing experience from the kind and professional staff to the phenomenal Dr Devgan who answered all my questions and helped me really understand all the short term and long term side effects and was very in depth about the procedure itself.
I had the procedure done one week ago and I can honestly say that this was the best decision I made in a very long time. Not only can I see 20/​15, the best I have ever seen before, I don’t have the dreaded dry eye. I can start my gastroenterology fellowship soon knowing that I can visualize people’s colons with ease and not miss any polyps and without having to rely on my annoying glasses and contacts. Thank you so much Dr Devgan.

Incredible personal patient care and attention to detail. Highly recommend Dr. Devgan and his entire staff. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a comfortable, and most importantly, great results as promised with improving my vision.

I came to Dr. Devgan for Lasik Surgery by the suggestion of my sister and my grandparents who had been previous patients. My sister and my grandparents had such an amazing experience with Dr. Devgan which helped me to make my decision to have Dr. Devgan complete my Lasik procedure. When I first met Dr. Devgan, he made me feel very welcome like it was a person that I had known for a long time. He made sure I was the right candidate for Lasik and double check the result made through newest technology. He also assured me that it would be quick and painless procedure. He is one of those people who is friendly and makes you feel at ease when being treated. The staff that works for him is just as amazing and caring like him. Having a staff who is just as amazing as the doctor is hard to find. So, it means a lot when the whole staff and doctor is at the same level. Beside the staff being amazing, the equipment/​technology used by office is amazing it is very painless and quite extraordinary. The procedure took less than 30 mins for both eyes. The next day of the procedure I was able to see ²⁰⁄₂₀. Having the procedure about the week ago has totally changed my life. The money spent on this procedure was worth every penny. I am so glad to choose him as doctor/​surgeon! I hope this review helps you to choose Dr. Devgan as your Doctor/​Surgeon of choice.

The absolute best! — he is an outstanding and gifted eye surgeon. A brilliant, compassionate doctor who absolutely loves his profession and uses total state– of– the– art equipment and procedures. I would not trust my eyes to anyone else.

Dr. Devgan is a master at what he does. His staff is warm and friendly just like him. I had bad cataracts in both eyes and severe astigmatism. I now see ²⁰⁄₂₀ in both eyes. I am so grateful my husband found this man. I was worried when I went to The Vision Care Center in North Hollywood because the Dr. was odd and I felt like part of the herd they were moving through. Their equipment seems antiquated compared to Dr. Devgan’s state of the art facility. PLEASE, if you need eye surgery, go see Dr. Devgan. –Torrey in Studio City

I’ve been considering LASIK surgery for years, but was too nervous and uncomfortable with the thought of my eyes being worked on. However, my sight took a turn for the worse over a short period of time, and so I began looking for the right doctor. I have 3 friends that have had LASIK surgery with Dr. Devgan, so I booked an appointment with him.
Dr. Devgan is really personable and caring. I felt the most comfortable with him (I had also met with Dr. Maloney). I had the procedure last month and could not be more happy with the results! My eyes were a little dry at first, but that has subsided.

Dr. Devgan is a great surgeon who uses the newest and best lasers on his clients. I had lasik performed last year and still have perfect vision. He’s very thorough on all of his follow up appointments to make sure your eyes are healing correctly. Before Lasik he explains every step of the process to you in words you can understand and makes you feel very comfortable.
He’s not the cheapest option out there, but why in the world would you go cheap on a procedure involving your EYES?! I can’t believe some of my friends excited to purchase Groupons for half off lasik performed by inexperienced doctors who use out of date equipment. Dr. Devgan is worth every dollar. He’s the doctor that other eye doctors turn to when they want lasik. That says a lot.
I would recommend Dr. Devgan to my family and friends.
