While there was nothing additional we could do at this time to accelerate the healing process, I left the appointment feeling confident that I received the best care possible. I also feel grateful to now have Dr. Lazar as a trusted resource and a doctor I can turn to in the future when I change health plans.

I was apprehensive about doing the surgery so I did many hours of research and had consultations with other highly reputable surgeons. But I found that none of them came close to Dr. Devgan in terms in knowledge and experience. After all, he is The Cataract Coach and has performed over 40,000 surgeries, including many for other ophthalmologists. Plus he spent a great deal of time during my consultation reviewing my images taken in his office, discussing lens options, explaining the surgery process, and patiently answering my many questions. Dr. Devgan loves what he does and his passion is evident when you meet with him. Additionally, everyone on his staff is very pleasant and professional. And Dr. Devgan gives his patients his email and cell number so we can contact him with any questions. I texted him on three occasions and he responded immediately! And in each case, he gave me very thorough answers to my questions. It was very comforting to know that he was always just a text away. I don't know of any other doctor who is so available to their patients. Dr Devgan recommended the Alcon Vivity in both eyes for me and my surgeries went well with no issues. They were both quick and painless and everything went smoothly at the Surgical Center. He came over and talked to me before I went into the operating room which I appreciated. I am very happy with the results. I requested the focus be set at near/intermediate, and I was OK wearing glasses for distance. I use a mild reader for fine print, my intermediate is perfect, and my distance is better than I expected. I can drive in the daytime without glasses, so I just I need them for driving at night. And there is very minimal halos and glare at night; much less than before surgery. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Devgan as my surgeon. I will not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family because I know they will be in excellent and very skilled hands!

The employees that I came in contact with before Dr. Tara were amazing. I then met Dr. Tara for the results. That's when I found out officially that I had ocular melanoma. She showed me the tumor on the scan. I can remember feeling so numb at that moment. Dr. Tara explained that she does not sit and watch these,she goes in aggressively, exactly what I wanted. She explained plaque radiation and how it's done. She told me that I will be getting a phone call from her right-hand man, Andre, and he will go over everything that we had talked about, and all the information that I need for upcoming appointments and procedures. Dr. Tara has an amazing bedside manner. People come from all different states to be treated by her. She is well-renowned, respected and sought after ocular oncologist. When giving this very scary diagnosis this is comforting. You can find her videos on YouTube and she also has a book on Amazon called Finding Your Way With Ocular Melanoma. I was able to purchase it on Amazon. I definitely recommend this book and her YouTube videos. This cancer is rare six in one million will be diagnosed. It's aggressive and likes to metastasize to the liver. It's good to have her expertise and the handbook to refer to. Unfortunately, after healing from the surgery and having the radiation plaque put in for a week, my retina detached. I had to undergo another major surgery. Now my life will include continuous scans of my body to make sure that it has not metastasized. I feel I am in amazing hands with Dr. Tara. I want to thank Andre and Priscilla, who work with Dr. Tara. Another example of amazing patient care and going above and beyond. Thank you for taking great care of me during this scary time. 4/30/26

I have likely lost my hearing permanently due to the incompetent and delayed care I received here…read more I was given an "urgent" referral from my PCP following sudden hearing loss and was given an appointment several weeks out (already suboptimal but maybe unavoidable). When they brought me in, the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong and told me I needed to see an "ear specialist." Why on earth they would have assigned me to someone who was NOT an ear specialist when I was coming in for hearing loss is beyond me. I waited to see that person and then was told she wanted me to go do a repeat of the audiology testing because she didn't trust the first testing even though it was done within their own office!! At that point, I decided to seek care through the House clinic downtown, where I was accommodated immediately due to the time sensitive nature of this concern and was met by very kind and competent doctors. Unfortunately, at this point, I am well beyond the window where it's likely that steroids could save my hearing. Do yourself a favor and start with the House clinic if you have any serious hearing concerns as this office does not appear to be able to manage them competently.
