William S. Fagman, M.D.

Dr. Fagman is an outstanding human being and doctor. I believe the Yiddish word commonly used to describe someone of his caliber is «mensch.» I’ve seen him for two different conditions, a corneal abrasion and the sudden onset of flashes and floaters (which can indicate impending retinal detachment). In both cases, he saw me within half an hour of phone contact. Due to my family history, he considered the possible detaching retina an emergency and met me at the Skokie office after hours on a Saturday. He was heading for a meeting in Yorkville but immediately turned the car around. Luckily, my retina was intact. He ordered me to go home and have a glass of wine! He has a very reassuring and calming chairside manner. When I saw him for the corneal abrasion due to a gardening mishap, he immediately stopped the pain and treated the scratch with a contact lens, antibiotics and an analgesic. In both instances, he followed up closely and gave me a direct number to call if necessary. Both his office staff and Dr. Choi were kind and helpful. All around great experience and so much better than a sharp stick in the eye!

What an incredible office!
I was referred to Dr Fagman by LasikPlus. The office was completely packed and Dr Fagman was running late due to the weather but I was seen by Dr Choi to run the first tests. It was only 10 minutes in to my appointment and she kept apologizing profusely for making me wait which to me seems like they rarely run behind. I really enjoyed her company and was scared that she set the bar too high for when i saw Dr Fagman. But Dr Fagman was so wonderful! He was also very funny and super nice. He was very thorough and made me feel comfortable the whole time.
Best opthalmolgist ever!
