Kagan, Arkady B, MD Kagan Institute

A surprise , beautiful environment , minimal, calm .\r Doctor who proved to be very well trained, tuned into the latest procedures and technology.\r My both parents , advanced in age ,had eye surgeries at both eyes and the results are spectacular; it feels like we took them out from a cave. Dr.Kagan had a quick, efficient way to treat them in a state of the art surgical facility .\r Personally I took a chance to have esthetic laser treatments, which before , for many years i had done in some of the top dermatological clinics in L.A. The results are exceptional. I am so excited to be able to get the same treatments , with a professional attitude, very affordable price and informal , easygoing style.\r Absolutely a gem to be discovered!!!\r Sometimes the small staff , which is very friendly,might be overwhelmed, however , these are the growing pains happening in operations which are growing fast.\r Kagan Institute will be the place to go and I would recommand it strongly. more

I had a Lasik surgery 8 years ago performed by Dr. Kagan. My vision before was very poor and I could not see clearly from the distance. I trusted Dr. Kagan with this procedure because of his many years of experience, credentials, excellent results and his latest top equipment. I like that he updates his medical knowledge by going to conferences and seminars. Since I had this surgery my life has changed completely, I can feel like a full functional person, not depending on lenses or glasses. All these years I never experienced any issues with my eyes thanks to Dr. Kagan’s help. I strongly recommend him for any of your ophthalmic needs. I am very happy with the results.\r \r more

I was a little apprehensive about having anything done to my eyes, for the obvious reasons. After my consultation with Dr. Kagan regarding correcting my near vision with Conductive Kertoplasty procedure, my uneasiness went right out the window. Dr. Kagan has the best bedside manners of any doctor. I have no doubt, that he truly wants the best results for each one of his patience. He thoroughly explained the up and down sides to CK procedure, and answered all of my questions and concerns.\r \r The day of my CK procedure Dr. Kagan consulated with me again. I felt very comfortable in his care. The procedure itself took less than 10 minutes and painless. It took a full day for my eyes to adjust. Now my sight and eyes feel fantastic. NO MORE READING GLASSES.\r \r Thank you Dr Kagan and staff you did a awesome job. I'm 100% satisfied.\r Anthony - Los Angeles, Ca more

\r NO PAIN .... ALL GAIN !!!!!\r It is rare that your expectations are exceeded. Before choosing to see Dr. Kagan I looked at the recommendation sites on my computer and found glowing reviews. I agree with all of the nice things that were said. Dr. Kagan and his staff are terrific. Appointments are easy to make and they are kept on time. When I choose my Dr. I was thinking about the Dr.’s skill in surgery. I now realize that equally important is the Dr.’s ability to choose the correct lens to use and the exact prescription of the lens. Dr. Kagan was perfect in his recommendations. I had astigmatism in one eye and the Dr. used a toric lens to correct that problem. Even with glasses, I was never able to see clearly with that eye. Now it is 20/20 ! I was totally amazed at seeing things I had never seen before and the brightness of colors. My other eye did not have astigmatism so he used a Softec h.d. lens. The surgery on that eye was just done 2 weeks ago and I already can see 20/25 with that eye and it improves daily. I see both far and near with both eyes. If the print is very small I need to use over the counter glasses to make it comfortably clear but I can even see it without glasses in good light. I can see the computer with no glasses. The surgery itself is quick and painless. I was at the surgery center for about and hour and a half. The actual procedure took about 20 minutes. I was awake at all times and when I asked the Dr. if we were half through yet his answer was we are almost done. The only problem I had was an allergic reaction to one of the eye drops. I stopped that drop and I was fine. I have told my family and friends that if they need eye care the best Dr. in L.A. is Arkady Kagan. I am confident that they will be as pleased as I am. more

I've been coming here for a few months. I recently had an operation with Dr. Kagan to remove some cataracts. Dr. Kagan did an amazing job and my vision has improved tremendously since then. Dr. Kagan is always extremely professional and friendly. The staff at his office is extremely caring, friendly and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Kagan to everyone. more

Dr. Kagan performed cataract surgery on me in the fall of 2011. I am very pleased with the results and with his willingness to answer all of my questions. I also appreciate the follow-up and the professional yet friendly treatment by his staff. more

It is hard for me to find enough words of praise and love for Los Angeles eye surgeon Dr. Arkady Kagan. He is a true miracle worker! All my life I was nearly blind in one eye. I could barely see an eye chart with it, much less read any lines. Numerous eye doctors in the past told me there was nothing that could be done. Yet today, just one day after cataract surgery by Dr. Kagan, I can already read very fine print with that eye and still cannot believe it!\r \r Every review on the Internet gives Dr. Kagan, who was named American's top opthamologist in 2004, five stars in every department.He is thorough, caring and compassionate and goes to great lengths to explain procedures. He was nearly in tears when he saw the result of his work on my eye. Every couple of months he travels nationally and internationally to professional meetings to keep on top of every modern technological development in eye care. I thank God for Dr. Arkady Kagan. \r more

I have been a patient of Dr Kagans for several years. He has done aesthetic treatments flawlessly for me. When my husband needed cataract surgery recently, I brought him to the doctor. My husband had a very complicated situation, a result of lots of damage created by very early radial keratotomy surgeries. Dr Kagan worked with him performing surgery necessary and guided him through the difficult aftercare and post treatment that has been able to reverse all that damage. My husband is a happy camper now, with great vision. more

For the past 10 years I heve trusted my health and physical appearance through non-sergical procedures to the hands of Dr. Kagan. I trust his judgement and experience as much as his honesty: he will not try to sell you something you don't need. In fact, I respect his declines to perform a procedure that he deems unnecessary. This alone has proven to me that he cares about his clients on a deeper level and not as much about the profit gained from their whims or insecurities. So far I have done Botox injections, fillers, and under eye laser skin resurfacing. To this day I am pleased with results and refuse to ""get work done"" anywhere else.\r Lucy. more

An added bonus--his office is welcoming, the staff is good, he runs on time and there is street parking on the side streets off of Wilshire. more

Guys, if you are really thinking of LASIK procedure, go to this place! 10 years ago, after extensive research, I ended up in the hands of Dr. Kagan. Everything went smooth and without complications. Not only it's still the best investment of my life, but it completely changed my life-style. Those out there in glasses or lenses know what I'm talking about. Just out of curiosity I took the second opinion from another Dr. in Beverly Hills. His professional verdict was the same as mine - the surgery was excellent, nobody could done it better! It's been 10 years and I'm 45 y.old now, but my vision is still perfect. I recommended Dr. Kagan to all my friends, and I've never heard a single complain about him! more

I feel he cares about how I look as much as I do.Truly ha is better than the rest. more

For years, I’ve been waiting to get LASIK, but was hesitant because, well, it’s my eyesight and I wouldn’t just trust anyone. When I heard about Dr. Kagan and his phenomenal LASIK procedure, I gave in. My entire experience, from the initial consultation to the follow up visits has been nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Kagan is extremely knowledgeable and highly professional with scrupulous attention to details. He was very thorough in explaining the entire procedure and educating me about the LASIK. He has so much love and passion for it. Thus, when I went in on the day of my surgery, my nervousness faded (primarily due to Dr. Kagan’s knowledge, caring attitude, and his staff’s understanding). Every day I think to myself, “I should have done it sooner.” The world around me has changed. It’s become brighter, happier, and so much more wonderful with my perfect, post LASIK vision. It really is like magic. I look forward to every day in life with a newfound appreciation and excitement. My glasses are gone and I love, love it. Day by day, I’m amazed by just how clear the world that surrounds me is. I’m ecstatic about the results. I have recommended Dr. Kagan to my entire family and would recommend him to anyone looking to change their life with LASIK. It truly is life changing. more
