My wife and my best friend have had lense implant surgery with Dr. Devgan. He let me watch the surgery with my friend.
My wife had the surgery 3 years ago and her eyesight went from 20/200 and 20/300 to 20/15. The minute she came out of surgery she could see almost perfectly. She was so excited that the colors were so bright and she didn't need glasses any more.
My friend had the surgery done on one eye by another well known surgeon. He came out of the surgery blind in that eye. After 11 months his vision was only 20/70. He was going to go back and have the other eye done when I insisted he see Dr. Devgan. On two appointments Dr. Devgan spend well over an hour each doing tests and explaining the procedures. Dr. Devgan did everything himself, no staff worked on my friend. Dr. Devgan said he had a new laser that would make my friend's surgery much easier than what he had gone through with the other doctor. My friend had a very difficult cataract, very big and very hard. I convinced my friend to have the surgery with Dr. Devgan. He has told me many times it changed his life. He now has 20/20 in the eye Dr. Devgan did.
The amount of time Dr. Devgan spent with him, the enthusiasm, and the expertise are compelling reasons to at least get a consultation from him before you have any surgery. I truly believe Dr. Devgan is not only a doctor, but a healer. There are people who excel far above their peers, and I believe Dr. Devgan is one of them.

I may be an exception among Dr. Devgan's patients, since I’ve never planned to have eye surgery. I had a regular ophthalmologist, but felt his 'bedside manner' was lacking. As a result, a few weeks ago I sought an experienced ophthalmologist near where I lived - and found Dr. Devgan, who seemed well-regarded. Little did I realize that I had made an appointment with a doctor widely considered to be among the best eye surgeons in the world.

After some initial eye tests using some very hi-tech instruments, I met with Dr. Devgan, who immediately put me at ease. I told him about my vision, and within minutes he had calmed my concern that my eyesight was on a downward trajectory. He was able to return my corrected sight to practically normal, and explained the mechanics of sight and showed me pictures, inside and out, of my eyes as he did so. Finally, he took the time to talk with me about overall eye care, made specific recommendations for eyewear and left me with his email address in the event I had any "post-treatment questions." I was impressed that a surgeon of such renown would take so long to examine and talk with a new, non-surgical patient.

When I scheduled a visit with Dr. Devgan, I thought I was just making an eye doctor appointment; in light of his qualifications and record however, I can see I REALLY won the lottery...

Dr. Devgan is open, informative and clear, clearly expert, friendly and upbeat and efficient. His office is well-organized, the surgery site for cataracts is clean, polite, efficient and no-nonsense. The results of my eye surgery make my life much better. Dr. Devgan is the most accessible physician I have ever experienced except my GP. He gave me his cell phone, urged me to call, told me to text or email with any questions. I have already recommended one friend and will continue to do so.

Dr Devgan and his entire staff made my lasik eye surgery an incredible experience. I couldn't be happier with the results. I had visited with a number of other doctors but Dr Devgan is in a league of his own. He spent time explaining all the tests, what to expect, post surgery protocol etc.
I had been very nervous about this surgery but after my first meeting with Dr Devgan I was totally confident and booked the surgery there and then for the following week. I highly recommend Dr Devgan

The bottom-line is Dr. Uday Devgan is an outstanding and compassionate doctor, surgeon, and human being. What follows is the short version of a horror that befell me, which Dr. Devgan miraculously cured.

I’m a professional oil painter and mostly a very visual person. At 67 years of age, I had cataract surgery in Rancho Mirage, California. The surgeon botched one of my eyes, resulting in the loss of practically all eyesight in that eye. I consulted SEVEN ophthalmologists to learn the answers to three simple questions: 1) what was the problem, 2) how did it develop, and 3) what could I do about it.

NONE of these doctors could answer any of these questions, and I didn’t want to sue anyone. I just wanted to fix my eyesight. Most of the responses were shoulder shrugs, and a few were downright insulting, for example, one supposedly famous doctor said, “It’s academic at this point.” Now, I have a Masters Degree in Fine Arts, and my husband holds two PhDs. So you can imagine our outrage.

Finally, the last of the seven docs said, “I’m a pretty good surgeon, but I’m not good enough for your problem. If I had your problem, there is only one doctor I’d go to in Southern California. His name is Uday Devgan. Don’t let anyone else touch your eye.”

We beat a path to Dr. Devgan’s door. Low and behold, not only did he have the most and more up to date equipment than any surgeon we had visited, but within five minutes, he had answered ALL my questions. My cataract surgeon had made too large of an incision in my eye that was too close to the center, causing extreme astigmatism.

Dr. Devgan did three important things for me. First, he explained the entire problem and how he could resolve it. Second, his manner and the expertise that shined through gave me hope. And finally, after a year of healing from my botched cataract surgery, Dr. Devgan performed a PRK laser operation on my harmed eye that reshaped it and gave me 20/20 vision two months later in that eye.

Dr. Devgan restored my vision. More importantly, he’s helped restore my confidence that a few in the medical profession are actually true professionals, not hacks that somehow made it through medical school and now spend their lives butchering others. I wholeheartedly and without qualification recommend that you meet Dr. Devgan to inquire about what he can do to improve the health of your eyesight.

When it became apparent that I would need cataract surgery, I did much research on the internet. I eventually chose Dr. Devgan, and I'm very satisfied with the results.

I learned that Dr. Devgan specializes in difficult cases. I'm very near-sighted, which means that retinal detachment is a potential complication of cataract surgery. Dr. Devgan referred me to a retinal specialist -- Dr. O'Hearn in Santa Monica -- to check my eyes before surgery, and fix any potential problems before they arose.

Dr. Devgan is very accessible. He answered all questions at his office, and also gave me his email to ask anything that might come to mind later. He was quick to respond to my emails, and remembered everything I'd asked and said.

He was very upbeat during surgery, and is a great morale booster.

Both my eye surgeries turned out very well. Both cataracts and near-sightedness are now gone. Dr. Devgan did a great job choosing the right IOL for both my eyes.

Dr. Devgan is hands down one of the best eye surgeons in the state (if not the best)! I was originally going to go to a run of the mill Laser Eye place I heard being advertised on the radio. However after doing a lot of research, I was referred to Dr. Devgan! He is amazing. I now have perfect vision and he was so helpful in explaining every detail every single step of the way! I would recommend him to anyone. He also did surgery on my mother's eyes who had 2 or 3 botched surgeries in the past and now she can see almost perfect as well. Look him up he is amazing!! Thank you Dr. Devgan!

Dr. Devgan is an absolute expert in the field. He has written hundreds of articles and lectures across the world teaching his pearls of cataract surgery to other surgeons. He explained all the risks and benefits of my treatment options. Everything was explained in detail, all my questions were answered, and I felt a lot better about choosing a treatment plan. If I had to rate Dr. Devgan on just their friendliness towards me I would give them the whole five stars alone. This was one of the warmest and most welcoming offices I've visited.
