I only remember a few things about kindergarten: playing handball during recess, watching Matilda eat paste, and learning the golden rule. The simple maxim of Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, which I learned when I was 5 years old, applies perfectly to the practice of medicine. The golden rule is the cornerstone of my practice and I have found success and satisfaction in applying it to the treatment of my patients.
About Dr. Uday Devgan
- Six years ago, I performed cataract surgery with astigmatism management on my own father (a retired surgeon with high demands of his vision). He was very happy with his new vision, immediately stating, Wow, I wish I had this surgery 5 years ago! I strive to deliver this same high quality to each of my patients, and it’s my test for every surgery I do: What would I do if this patient was my own father, mother, sister, or brother And perhaps more telling is that multiple eye surgeons in Los Angeles area had sent their parents to have cataract surgery by me.
- One way to learn about a surgeon, his high success rate, and his superior surgical skills is with actual patient testimonials. While Dr. Devgan has operated on many celebrities, he feels that more precise testimonials come from other eye doctors, MDs, and insiders who have selected him for their own eye surgeries.
- Whether our patients are celebrities, athletes, fellow doctors, or simply well-read patients, they are all given the highest level of care.

I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Uday Devgan for his exceptional care and the wonderful outcomes of my cataract surgeries. Because a previous vitrectomy had left me with ongoing retinal and macular issues, I was understandably terrified when I learned I needed cataract surgery. From my very first consultation, Dr. Devgan completely eased my anxiety. He took the time to carefully evaluate my eyes, select the precise lens powers, and tailor a specialized surgical approach for my complex history. He successfully performed my first cataract surgery, and because of that wonderful experience, I completely trusted him to do my second one as well. The results for both have been incredible. After needing corrective lenses for most of my life, my post-surgery vision is excellent and has given me a whole new level of confidence. If you are nervous or have a complicated eye history, you are in the safest possible hands with Dr. Devgan
Dr. Devgan is a master of his craft. More than that, he’s very personable and a great guy who loves helping his patients achieve the best possible outcome. I recommended a friend to him who is super happy with the results. I just had my cataract done and I’m thrilled with the outcome. I have referred another close friend and will continue to do so. If you’re nervous or concerned about getting the procedure done, rest assured that you’re in great hands. Dr. Devgan will guide you through the process and will review all the lens options that are tailored for your personal lifestyle. The staff is also great. The best of the best!!!
Response from the ownerThank you so much for taking the time to write such a generous review.

Thank you for your continued trust and for recommending your friends to our practice as we work to deliver the best cataract surgery outcomes in the Los Angeles area while upholding the high standards expected of the best cataract surgeon.There are doctors who are excellent at what they do, and then there are doctors who change lives. Dr. Devgan is the latter. My mom came to him with an extremely advanced cataract. Her vision had deteriorated to the point that she was effectively blind, profoundly impacting her independence and quality of life. As her son, watching that happen was heartbreaking. What Dr. Devgan did for her feels nothing short of miraculous. Within minutes of waking from her procedure, my mom could see. Not just a little better. She could see incredibly well. After living in a world that had become increasingly dark and inaccessible, suddenly she had her vision back. Her words say it better than mine ever could: “Dr. Devgan gave me a new life.” But what makes Dr. Devgan so extraordinary isn’t simply his remarkable skill as a surgeon. It’s the human being behind that skill. His bedside manner was impeccable. He was warm, patient, empathetic and reassuring. He listened to my mom, truly listened. He understood her fears and concerns, never rushed her, and gave her the confidence of knowing she was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared and was among the very best in his field. I’ll admit that I can be a little “protective” when it comes to my mom. I pay close attention to how people treat her and whether they give her the dignity and respect she deserves. Dr. Devgan put me completely at ease. He treated her with such patience, kindness and tenderness that it genuinely felt as though he were caring for his own mother. As her son, I will be forever grateful, not only for the extraordinary quality of his work, but for the care, compassion and respect he showed her throughout the experience. It is difficult to adequately thank someone who has given your mother her sight back. How do you put a value on being able to see the world again? On regaining her independence? On watching her face light up because she can suddenly see what she had been missing? You can’t. I cannot recommend Dr. Devgan highly enough. If someone I loved needed cataract surgery, there is simply no one I would trust more. And candidly, if you ask my mom, she’ll tell you exactly what she believes: “Dr. Devgan was a gift from God.”
Response from the ownerThank you so much for taking the time to share such a deeply moving review.

Thank you for trusting your sight to our practice as we continue working to deliver the best cataract surgery outcomes in the Los Angeles area while upholding the high standards expected of the best cataract surgeon.Having lost the central vision in my left eye to a past cataract surgery that went wrong, followed shortly by a retinal detachment, I was terrified when it came time to address my right eye, my only eye with functional vision. As a high-risk patient with lattice degeneration in both eyes, I was genuinely afraid of experiencing the same tragic outcome. In my search for the best possible care, I found Dr. Devgan. His reviews were exceptional, and his expertise in high-risk procedures was unmatched. From my very first consultation, I knew I was in the right hands. Dr. Devgan took the time to listen, ease my fears, and reassure me. Knowing he had performed successful surgeries on many monocular patients gave me immense confidence. I left his office feeling understood, safe, and ready to trust him with my sight. I am thrilled to report that my surgery went smoothly and successfully, exactly as he assured me it would. Dr. Devgan, words cannot fully express my gratitude for your extraordinary skill, meticulous care, and compassionate approach. Thank you for protecting my vision when everything was on the line. With deep gratitude, Elizabeth Hyett

### Exceptional Expertise and Care As a practicing physician, I have a particularly high appreciation for clinical expertise, precision, and attention to detail. I was experiencing progressively changing vision from cataracts, compounded by the visual changes following previous LASIK, and choosing the right surgeon was therefore especially important to me. From my initial consultation through surgery and follow-up, I was consistently impressed by Dr. Devgan’s depth of expertise, meticulous approach, and thoughtful attention to my individual visual needs. I felt completely confident that I was in exceptionally capable hands. He communicated very promptly by email and text and answered all my questions. The surgery was remarkably smooth, and the improvement in my vision has been truly wonderful. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I am extremely grateful for the skill and care that went into achieving such an excellent outcome. The entire team was professional, warm, and attentive throughout the experience. As a physician myself, I do not make recommendations lightly. **For anyone with complex or special visual needs, I would place Dr. Devgan among the very best choices. His expertise, precision, and experience inspire confidence, and his commitment to achieving the best possible visual outcome is truly exceptional.** I recommend him with the utmost confidence.
