I'm so glad I saw Dr. Shamie for a second opinion because she immediately identified underlying dry eye issues that needed to be treated before undergoing any vision correction. What makes the Maloney Shamie Hura Vision Institute so special is that they offer the full suite of vision correction procedures, allowing them to provide a truly unbiased recommendation for each patient. It turns out EVO ICL was the best fit for me. I am now a little over a week post-op and enjoying the best, crispest vision of my life. I couldn't recommend Dr. Shamie and her team more!

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.

I had gone to him, second to my primary glaucoma specialist, only to do monthly pressure checks before getting misled into a horrible situation. The day after the procedure, I became 100% blind in that eye, along with a hemorrhagic choroidal detachment and a hyphema. He also left a cut in my eye which bled for a week, along with zero intraocular pressure, until I had a surgery from a truly experienced competent medical doctor, to mend it. This tragic event, along with total blindness, has caused ongoing unbearable and excruciating pain. He had not scheduled a post-op appointment until 10 days after the procedure, implying that it was as superficial as he made it out to be. Instead, he trotted off to vacation the day after the procedure. I have experienced him to be incompetent and medically dangerous, causing me to endure a living nightmare! I am terribly sorry that I crossed paths with this unbelievably greedy money-hungry and incompetent liar, and that I actually placed my trust in him! BTW, I had been referred to him by a front desk receptionist at a prominent ophthalmologist's office. When I called recently to inquire about him, they had never heard of him. My intention here is not to lash out, but to prevent anyone else from getting victimized.

My case was not easy--back in 2005, I had LASIK surgery with a very high prescription of -12 in my right eye and -10 in my left. Over time, I began to lose vision in my right eye again, and after a thorough evaluation, Dr. Seibel determined that cataract surgery was necessary. From the first consultation, Dr. Seibel's professionalism, experience, and calm confidence gave me great peace of mind. He explained the procedure thoroughly and made sure I understood what to expect. What truly stood out to me is how skilled and meticulous he is--my surgery was complex due to my history, but he performed it with absolute precision. Despite the difficulty, he achieved an excellent outcome and my vision has significantly improved. Dr. Seibel is not just a top surgeon--he's a leading educator in the field, having authored multiple cataract surgery textbooks and trained other surgeons. You can truly feel that expertise when you're under his care. It's clear he treats every patient with the same care and attention he gives to teaching others. This review is the least I can do to thank him. If you're considering cataract surgery or any vision correction procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Seibel.
