I had my hernia repair, and I was really glad to see Dr. Lalezari before the surgery. Seeing a familiar face among strangers, even though everyone was kind and treated me well. It’s comforting to have someone you already know in that situation. I understand why many people are hesitant about surgery. In fact, I put it off…

I had my hernia repair, and I was really glad to see Dr. Lalezari before the surgery. Seeing a familiar face among strangers, even though everyone was kind and treated me well. It’s comforting to have someone you already know in that situation.
I understand why many people are hesitant about surgery. In fact, I put it off last year myself. But this year, I finally decided to go with Doctor Lalezari and do the surgery, he is a good doctor, I know that making that decision isn’t easy, especially if you’ve never experienced anything like it before. Still, it’s something we need to do to feel better and improve our quality of life

I got my gallbladder removed because I had gallstones, I know that a lot of people avoid to have surgery because they're scared

I got my gallbladder removed because I had gallstones, I know that a lot of people avoid to have surgery because they're scared, but, I mean, it's a very quick and easy procedure. It's a common procedure using minimally invasive process, it's a safety procedure that can be done because honestly, these gallbladder attacks, they're horrible. So if you experience any of that, to just get it and I definitely recommend Dr. Lalazari The whole process was pretty good I thought it was going to be pretty long, but it was pretty fast, honestly. Once I got all my labs done and I got cleared for surgery, Dr. Lalassari just told me I could have surgery the next day. I would honestly recommend him and give him 10 out of 10 The part that I most liked was when I had my appointments, he was patient, asking me what the problem was and everything. And then I guess that when it came to the surgery, I was very shocked that my surgery happened super quick But overall, I feel good from the surgery

My Bariatrics surgery was done due to health issues. I had a bloody liver, high blood pressure, and I also suffered from liver cirrhosis

My Bariatrics surgery was done due to health issues. I had a bloody liver, high blood pressure, and I also suffered from liver cirrhosis. I'm healed now with the surgery. It's been a week and a half since the surgery and I no longer need take the high blood pressure medication, and my heart rate has been stable. Hopefully, my liver feels a lot better, and I'm actually feeling a lot better now. I already lost about 30 pounds before the surgery, but I weighed myself at 264. And this last checkup with the surgery, I weighed 236. So, I feel great. There’s some pain, but it's normal. I would recommend Dr Lalezari to anybody because he was really helpful, he held the surgery and he was also very helpful not just during the surgery, but also throughout the entire process leading up to it. He guided me through every necessary step to ensure a successful surgery

I had a great experience with my Bariatric Surgery, It was like a 10 out of 10.

I had a great experience with my Bariatric Surgery, It was like a 10 out of 10. The doctor is really, really nice and he's always willing to answer all the questions.
He made me feel really comfortable because it was actually my first, in general, my first surgery. So he made me feel so comfortable, at first I was really scared when I was going to go in surgery but then after he came to the room and he spoke to me, he made me feel okay, everything's going to be okay. If I was able to recommend him, I would, because I had a great experience with him, when it comes to his surgery he did a good job on me. There's not a lot of bruises or I'm not even in pain and I'm barely one week. I feel really happy and have already started seeing changes, I’m really excited

The recovery has been very quick with good results. I feel much better after my gallstone surgery.

The recovery has been very quick with good results. I feel much better after my gallstone surgery. They have a wonderful team, very attentive, respectful, and approachable. If someone doesn’t speak English, there is always staff available to assist in Spanish. The service the doctor provided was excellent; he always answered my questions and made me feel very confident. He is an exceptional doctor. The way he treats his patients, very attentive and respectful, always looking out for them, there are very few doctors like him.

Before my surgery, I had my diabetes always high. My blood pressure was always high

Before my surgery, I had my diabetes always high. My blood pressure was always high and I was really scared to do the surgery, but then with time, I felt better the way Dr. Lalezari talks to you, the way he does his job, gave me this comfort to continue with the process, After the surgery, my blood pressure is normal. My diabetes is good. It hasn't gone higher than 120, and I was at 230, I feel really good, it changed me totally. I feel like a new person, my old person went out, and a new person came in. That's exactly how I feel and that’s the main reason I give him not 10 but 100 It's not my first surgery I've been through and I felt comfortable. I wasn't scared. He gives you this support, this way of him making you comfortable through surgery, through the process, through everything. He just gives you this willingness of “doing it, keep going, you're doing good”. it's awesome.

I recently had my post-operative appointment thank God everything went great.

I recently had my post-operative appointment thank God everything went great. Seeing my stomach without the hernia makes me very happy. I’m still a bit swollen but Dr. Lalezari explained that the swelling will go down gradually, and the pain will eventually disappear. He has been very kind, trustworthy, and professional, the staff has also been amazing, they always treating me with care and professionalism. I appreciate the attention and support I received and absolutely I would recommend Dr. Lalezari and his team to anyone in need of hernia repair.

I had surgery a week ago and I’m feeling much better.

I had surgery a week ago and I’m feeling much better. I feel a little pain when I sit down and stand up, but overall, I’m doing great. I was treated very quickly. Dr. Lalezari is very kind and took the time to clearly explain the process to me. If you have the same issue I had with gallstones, I highly recommend getting treated by Dr. Lalezari. You’ll be in good hands
