AMAZING! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!…read more 6 months ago I had a LASIK performed by Dr. Khodabakhsh and that has been the best money I have ever spent in my life. After calling around looking for the surgeon that I would trust, I was recommended Dr.Khodabakhsh by a friend. I called and had the sweetest front desk lady explain me everything in detail, answer all my questions and book a consultation. I went to the consultation (which is free) and instantly felt that I was in a right place. Everyone in the office was extremely friendly, professional and helpful. Dr. Khodabakhsh is very knowledgeable and makes you feel important and taken care of as a patient. I never felt rushed or pushed into anything. I decided to go through with the surgery and asked the Doctor to do it as soon as possible. My consultation was on Monday and on that following Wednesday I was already scheduled in for LASIK. Surgery went with no problems and I was done with the whole experience in less than 30 minutes. Doctor provided me with all the medication I would need for after surgery. Next day I woke up and could see! It was a bit blurry but already amazing. The procedure included 4 additional check-ups, during which Doctor made sure that I completely understand where in the process of healing I am. 6 months later, my eyes are amazing. My vision is perfect and I am so happy I went for it, especially with such an amazing Doctor. Realistically, my vision has been amazing ever since 2nd day post surgery and I was able to go back to work 1st day after surgery. Doctor is so great that I will keep coming for yearly check ups regularly.

I regret trusting Dr. Khodabakhsh, who performed a femtolaser assisted cataract surgery on my left…read moreeye using a light adjustable lens (LAL) last year. He's supposed to be the best, but his treatment led to months of misery both for my vision and time wasted trying to get reimbursed for procedures that ended up being covered by insurance and being double billed for the lens. While my treated eye is functional, it's not optimal nor what he promised. If you see Dr. K., do not trust him that everything is out of pocket, ask him to submit insurance claims for everything even if he tells you no insurance will ever cover it (it's up to the insurance to determine that) and get a written quote for anything out of pocket. If you end up prepaying for supposedly "noncovered services," make him put in the contract that he will reimburse you the excess should insurance cover the procedure. Pay close attention to your insurance claims so you do not get double billed by Dr. K and the Surgery Center. Also, do not let Dr. K.'s office use your credit card to pay the referring optometrist. Details are as follows: 1) He convinced me to get an expensive LAL lens that would allow him to adjust my vision post-surgery if his prediction of the lens power was off pre-surgery. He did not disclose that he would be making me so farsighted after the surgery that I could not read my phone without holding it 2 feet away! He assumed I knew so he could "fix" the power later. This caused a huge problem between my normal untreated eye and the surgical eye; I ended up getting a needle stick at work a week after the surgery-Dr. K. did not care when I told him. This is not proper informed consent. He also misled me when he said I would not need glasses if I picked the LAL lens; I ended up compromising far vision to get reasonable near vision without reading glasses 2) He told me that the LAL lens, the femtolaser (instead of a traditional scalpel) and the laser treatments to adjust the lens power were not covered by insurance, quoting me $9000 (later discounted to $8000). My research showed that this was about double what others were charging. I decided to proceed since this was for my eye and he was supposed to be the "best." 3) After the surgery, I found out that my insurance covered all of what Dr. K said was out of pocket. My insurance allotted $2100 to the Surgery Center (of which Dr. K is a part owner) for my lens! That meant that I had paid for the lens twice-first to Dr. K. for the lens package before the surgery and then again as part of my coinsurance to the Surgery Center. The Surgery Center eventually gave me back the coinsurance for the lens, but Dr. K.'s office refused to submit an insurance claim for the lens and tried to prevent me from submitting my own claim by saying it would be "medical fraud" for me to claim the lens using Dr. K's tax ID #; since Dr. K did not purchase the lens directly from the manufacturer (he bought the lens from the Surgery Center), he was not allowed to bill insurance for it (but he billed me!). Fortunately, my insurance company helped me get Dr. K's tax ID # (he refused to provide it) and file the claim; insurance approved all the procedure codes (with allowable contracted amounts-about 50% of the out of pocket charge); but Dr. K never gave me back the excess out of pocket charge. 4) He has a suspicious deal with my optometrist. His surgical coordinator called me to charge my credit card $8000 the day before the surgery, but then charged $1000 on my card to my optometrist and $7000 to Dr. K's office. It made it look like I was the one paying the optometrist willingly with my credit card, circumventing the appearance of Dr. K. paying the optometrist for my referral. Dr. K's coordinator kept on trying to get me to see my optometrist for the post-op visits, but I never did. I insisted on following up with Dr. K, but his office blocked that and scheduled me with an optometrist working for Dr. K. However, even if I did see the referring optometrist post-op, he would not have been entitled to the out of pocket payment. Aftercare within 90 days post cataract surgery is covered by the insurance payment for the surgery even if it is provided by an optometrist. Seeing me for a vision check without providing laser treatment on the lens would only allow the optometrist to get paid out of the cataract surgery insurance payment, not a portion of my out of pocket payment. I confronted the referring optometrist who first tried to claim that the yearly routine vision screening paid for by my vision insurance was the "pre-op" for the cataract surgery, but then eventually gave me back the $1000 as he had not participated in the surgery/aftercare. However, he made me sign something saying it was a "system error" as his office does a lot of business/referrals with Dr. K's office. Overall, the most horrid medical experience I have ever had. Stay away unless you want to be deceived, overcharged and disregarded!

I had unusually complex cases of brunescent cataracts (4+ and 4+++, weak corneal endothelium, and…read moredesire to maintain excellent close vision (-5 range). Dr. Devgan saved my sight and my life. Conventional ECCE surgery was the only recommendation from highly successful surgeons in SoCal including Kaiser Foundation who 99% of the time dealt with non-complex cases and quick surgeries using phacoemulsification procedures to extract the cataract lens which include high frequency vibrational aspects which generally do not disturb the posterior capsule or retina. However, in my case, using phaco could induce surgical or post surgical retinal detachment. ECCE (pre-phaco and femto surgical techniques were commonly used and was the only method recommended by other surgeons for 15 years). ECCE involves piercing and entering the anterior lens capsule through the cornea. This could result in a failed cornea and require a corneal transplant. ECCE also involves a very large incision, sutures, a protracted recovery and extended convalescence of many months. Greatly increased astigmatism generally results from such complex cases. Dr. Devgan perfected MSCIS surgery with 40,000 surgeries. This procedure uses a scleral tunnel technique wherein the small incision is made in the white of the eye (sclera) proximate to the lens capsule chamber and extracts the cataract lens and installs the IOL (implant lens), generally with the flap closing without sutures (I required 3 small hidden nylon sutures and one quick dissolving front suture). The operation and post surgery was painless. It did not disturb the retina as there was no strong phaco vibration involved. My corneas shrank back close to a safer thickness the day after and continued to become normal size (they were 120 micron edematous pre-surgery with weak endothelium structure). Four days post surgery I obtained corrective lens with nearly perfect vision which after 6 weeks met the exact corrective expectations of Dr. Devgan. He illustrated the mathematics of various IOL options for resolution distances per diopter of correction so I could choose the correction I wanted (3.5" inches to about 10" without glasses with prime focus at 8", then distance glasses). Dr. Devgan has mastered every aspect of manual manipulation for cataract surgery including use of alternative devices and securing the eye's physiology without resorting to more invasive phaco and ECCE techniques in preserving vision and greatly reducing negative potential mishaps during and post surgery. I owe my sight to his superior knowledge and experience. My optical case is in the 1% difficulty of cataract surgical challenges. For the majority of cataract cases, Dr. Devgan uses the least invasive techniques, the quickest surgery while preserving all optic physiology and in my case, 100% success, no pain and extremely quick recovery. I had 100% confidence when I was wheeled into surgery. The many prior surgeons I consulted made me feel afraid and extremely anxious to have them perform an ECCE type surgery. We are fortunate in SoCal to have the finest cataract surgeon located here.

When I first met Dr. Devgan, his intense confidence actually surprised me, but after looking up his impressive background, I understood why. Following our initial consultation, we communicated through text messages, and his supportive attitude never changed. Through both surgery days and checkups, he explained complex medical details perfectly and shared in my recovery. The optometrist also put me at ease during my exams. Thanks to this team, I had my surgeries with more ease. Following his advice (monofocal lenses, target vision of -2.0), I now enjoy a comfortable life indoors and only need glasses when driving. He even told me I could play ice hockey just a week after surgery! Dr. Devgan is a truly wonderful surgeon, and I recognize him as the absolute best.
