My 85 year old mother had an appointment with Dr. Gagnon. That's was fine except for a 30 minute delay. However, the receptionist lacked customer service 'skills'. Be kind to the elderly, they have deserved that at the very least. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Gagnon for 3 years. My ophthalmologist referred me to his care after a questionable outcome from cataract surgery. His office is amazing, they are thorough and efficient. I trust Dr. Gagnon and so respect his dedication to his profession in caring for patients around the world, donating his time. read more

My cataract surgery with Dr. Michael Gagnon and his excellent staff went quite remarkably well. His staff, which are quite a few, are each pleasant and easy to work with, which I find exceptional. Dr. Gagnon himself is very gentle, easy to work with and quite pleasant. One feels as though you are his one and only patient! When in his care you never feel as though he is rushed to get onto the next patient. I highly recommend Dr. Gagnon for any correction you may need to your precious eyes! My surgery was easy and very gently done. Able to see perfectly 24 hours later. Toni-Jane Dabel a cataract patient in late 2025 read more

All staff are focused on providing excellent service and that is exactly what I received!

I consulted Dr. Gagnon Michael for cataract surgery in November 2024. Dr. Gagnon Michael is friendly and patient during consultation. He even asked staff to remeasure some numbers to ensure data quality due to systems incompatibility issues. We converged to LAL (Light adjustable Lens) after going over a few lens options. After evaluating my data, he recommended other doctors who already implanted LALs with more experiences as he will be adopting LAL early 2025. Though I didn't ended up doing surgery there, I was really impressed by his professionalism, open mindedness, and putting patient's interest first. read more

I was referred to Dr. Gagnon about 6 months ago for cataract surgery and an ocular implant (to correct my near-sightedness) by my Opthamologist Having just completed the procedure on my Left and Right Eye, the outcome could not have been better. Bottom line is that 20/20 vision (distance) has been restored and the cataracts have been removed successfully from both eyes. I can see for the first time in about 60 years without glasses and my vision is brighter by about 10-15%. I can now drive and ride a road bike without wearing corrective lenses...read glasses or contacts. Dr Gagnon is a medical professional of the highest caliber as well as his pre and post op staff. If you are considering cataract surgery Dr Gagnon is one of the very best performing this delicate and critical procedure. He took the time to carefully explain the procedure, the inherent risks and the pre and post operative process which is crucial to a quick and successful recovery. Thank you Dr Gagnon for restoring my vision. Regaining my distance vision is a real Game Changer of a procedure and for that I will be forever grateful. read more

They will waste your money on unnecessary tests, will upsell you whenever they can, make you come for more appointments than needed, and be shady about what your appointment will actually cover. Obvious money suckers. They asked for feedback and I gave it to them and then say said they won't work with me. Don't ask for feedback if you are too precious to hear it. Incredibly rude. But glad they doubled down on their true colors so I didn't waste more time with these clowns. read more

I had a cataract surgery on my left eye done by Dr. Gagnon who was referred to me by my retina specialist. Today after a month after the surgery I hundred percent recommend him. I have a very good result and have a vision that I have not had since I was 9 years old (65 now). In addition, I found him a very patient man who answered my questions before the surgery. His staff are also super friendly, an excellent experience all around. Thank you Dr. Gagnon, I appreciate you. read more

See all

Words cannot express how pleased I am with the results of my cataract surgery. When my regular ophthalmologist said she was going to refer me to a cornea specialist, I got nervous. I did not schedule an appointment immediately, but talked to a few folks who had undergone the procedure first. While waiting for my 94 year old dad to get his flu shot at the local CVS, I passed the time as usual, looking at and trying on reading glasses. A nice couple waiting in line heard me complaining to my dad about how many different readers I had around the house - why do I keep buying them? Turns out, the couple had both just had cataract surgery and were very happy with the outcome. They spent time answering my questions and they made me feel at ease about scheduling the first appointment. I am a week post-op today and am on a cancellation list to have the right eye done asap. Everyone in the office is professional and courteous. The environment even during COVID is clean and safe. Their diagnostic tools are state-of-the-art. Finally, Dr. Gagnon is amazing and enthusiastic about what he does. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL SOON! read more

I just had a great experience with my visit to Dr. Gagnon. He and his team determined that i had "Floaters" in my 60yr old eyes. I thought i had something really terrible in my eyes and it turns out it was very normal and everyone should expect this type of thing to happen when you 'age'. Their staff stayed late (kept the office open) along with Dr Gagnon to see me the same day i called-in to see them. Got great service along with a safe diagnosis. Thanks! read more

I want to say a big "THANK YOU" to Dr. Gagnon from the bottom of my heart, for performing cataract surgeries on both of my eyes. Had the 1st surgery in 2013 and the 2nd surgery was done in Nov. 2017. Both surgeries were painless & quick. It took longer time to prep my eye for surgery than the surgery itself. It's truly a life changing experience as colors are more vivid & crisp, the whole world opens up with so much more clarity now. Dr. Gagnon is a well-trained, highly skilled & extraordinary surgeon. Apart from being a great surgeon, I certify that Dr. Gagnon also has the following skills - Good Listener, Lots of Patience and Caring Attitude. His team at Valley Eyecare Center is also friendly & supportive. Overall I am extremely happy with my procedure and results. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gagnon to anyone who is considering cataract surgeries. read more

Best of all, after dr Gagnon did a cataract surgery on both of my eyes I can now walk and drive with no glasses and see perfectly clear!

I went for Cataract surgery for both of my eyes in Nov. and Dec  2019. I don't  need glasses anymore for reading, computer, checking text on cell phone or for watching TV, cooking and Driving. Dr Gagnon fixed one eye for reading and other for farsight. I will highly recommend him. He does not leave room until he has answered all your questions and concerns. He knows what he is doing. I am not looking for glasses when I wake up in the morning! My husband will need cataract surgery sooner or later and He will just go straight to Dr. Gagnon. Lori is Dr Gagnon assistant who helps with coordinating surgery dates, questions and measurements. She is very nice and helpful. She answers her email and phone messages on time. If you are in tri valley and need cataract surgery, just go to him! read more

Thank you Dr. Gagnon for performing cataract procedure (both eyes) of my father in the month of May. He can see much better after the procedure. The whole process was seamless, Clear communication, sincere advice, comfortable at visits and surgery/procedure though prepaid out of pocket as my father did not had necessary insurance. Thank you Dr. Gagnon and all the team members involved in the procedure at ValleyCare Medical Center, part of Stanford Healthcare System. read more

Dr. Gagnon performed cataract surgery on both eyes for my husband. He was very professional, skilled, experienced, and caring in all aspects of the appointments both during the surgeries and post op. We were pleased he offered the choice of having the surgeries done at the excellent ValleyCare Medical Center, part of Stanford Healthcare System. I had selected him from researching the internet as we are new to the area. The truth is my husband passes out at the site of blood, and can't even think about having an incision in his eye, so was relying on my choice of physician. These reviews are helpful for just such reasons and I certainly would recommend Dr. Michael Gagnon to anyone needing eye surgery of any kind. Now my hubby can once again see the beautiful colors of the world and everything is clear with 20/20 in each eye! read more

I'm so glad I found Dr. Gagnon! I had cataract surgery in both eyes one week apart and I'm thrilled with the results. Dr. Gagnon is an excellent surgeon and his team is professional and caring. Everything about the experience was quick and painless. His staff took care of the insurance authorization, clearly explained the procedure, the follow up, and after care. I wanted to eliminate the need for glasses or contacts, so I decided on PanOptic trifocal lenses. I understand that the recovery is different for everyone, but I was amazed by the results. The morning after the surgery, I could see distance, mid-range, and up close. After 45 years of wearing glasses, I'm free. I no longer need glasses or contacts. The surgery itself was only 10 or 15 minutes, and again, everything was quick and painless. I went into the surgery room at 7:45, at 8:30 I was on my way home, and at 10:00 I was able to attend a work meeting (from home). I couldn't be happier with the results and I definitely would recommend Dr. Gagnon to anyone needing cataract surgery. read more

Have worn glasses and contacts for almost 50 years. I'm both astigmatic and VERY near sighted. Was told I was not a candidate for Lasik as I am too near sighted. When I was diagnosed with a Cataract I was referred to Dr. Gagnon. After a couple of visits and being measured by Lori I was scheduled for surgery on my eyes (1 week apart). After counseling from Dr. Gagnon and Lori, I chose a multifocal Symphony IOL for each eye. They are both thorough and patient. Just finished the second surgery this week and all I can say is WOW and thank you. I'm blown away at how well I can see. No glasses or contacts for me! The surgery was painless and only took about 15 minutes. My recovery was fast and I was seeing very well the next day. Thank you Dr. Gagnon. I give you and your wonderful team the highest recommendation to my friends and family! I simply cannot believe how well I can now see when I wake up in the morning, not only clear vision, but the colors are bolder. Life changing. read more
