Uday Devgan

Uday Devgan, MD, FACS is known as The Doctors' Doctor for Ocular Surgery

When other eye doctors or their families require vision correction surgery, they turn to Uday Devgan MD.

"The biggest honor that I receive is when fellow eye surgeons ask me to operate on their family members and on their own eyes. I perform each surgery with the same high level of skill, judgment, and expertise that I would use to do surgery on my own family. I truly take pride and passion in every delicate surgery that I do, because my work has the ability to greatly improve our most precious sense, our sight. A truly superb ocular surgery is a delicate balance of science, engineering, and artistry which results in the gift of great sight for a lifetime." - Uday Devgan MD
