Dr. Kagan was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was attentive to my concerns and answered questions. He did not push medication but rather looked to find causes of issues vs medicate the symptoms. Refreshing

Dr. Kagan has been my primary VA doctor for several years and each time I have visited him in person or by telephone, he has always been straight-forward with me concerning my health and spending enough time answering all my questions, so i can understand. His dedication and professionalism is above and beyond based upon my observation of him over the years. Great job and keep up the good work.

Dr. Kagan is a wonderful provider to work with. He is very easy to talk to and very understanding when it comes to discussing medical issues that can sometimes seem too personal to discuss with anyone.
