I felt good and comfortable throughout my post-surgery process. I would have liked to see the doctor after my bariatric surgery, but I understand he’s a very busy person. He always made me feel comfortable and was very efficient during appointments, always taking the time to ask how I was doing. I give the doctor a 10 out…

I felt good and comfortable throughout my post-surgery process.

I felt good and comfortable throughout my post-surgery process. I would have liked to see the doctor after my bariatric surgery, but I understand he’s a very busy person. He always made me feel comfortable and was very efficient during appointments, always taking the time to ask how I was doing. I give the doctor a 10 out of 10!
My experience with the clinic was also great. The staff at his other office on Wilshire are very kind, attentive, and always treated me with care.
If you’re thinking about having bariatric surgery, I can tell you it’s a difficult decision, and you need to find the strength to stay consistent throughout the process. It’s not just about getting the surgery, what comes afterward is the real challenge. But it is possible, and I’m living proof of that

The process with Dr. Lalezari was very smooth and efficient. He always made sure I was following my bariatric plan. My husband was also in treatment with another doctor, but he couldn’t go through with his surgery because he wasn’t treated well and that’s when I truly noticed the difference. With Dr. Lalezari and his team, I always felt supported and encouraged. Once, during the holiday season, I gained a little weight instead of losing, but they never made me feel bad about it. Instead, they motivated me to keep going. My husband, on the other hand, was scolded by his doctor for gaining. But Dr. Lalezari was always positive and understanding, he would tell me, “It’s okay if you gained a little; you still have time to get back on track.” And when I lost even one pound, he celebrated it with me, reminding me that every pound lost is a victory.
The staff was also incredibly kind and uplifting. The girls always encouraged me, It was truly a beautiful experience with Dr. Lalezari and all.

Everything went well, thank God. The entire experience was excellent, both Dr. Lalezari and his staff were wonderful.

Everything went well, thank God. The entire experience was excellent, both Dr. Lalezari and his staff were wonderful. From the moment you walk into the office, everyone is so kind and helpful; I never expected such attentive care.
I encourage anyone considering bariatric surgery to go for it. It’s a life-changing and truly beneficial experience for your health and well-being. Don’t be afraid, feeling nervous at first is completely normal, but that fear goes away once you go through the process and receive the guidance and support they provide. Do it, you won’t regret it!

I 100% recommend Dr. Lalezari. I have no complaints, I’ve received excellent care, and the staff was very kind. After my bariatric surgery, my feet no longer hurt, and I’ve already lost about 20 pounds. I feel so much better! If you’re considering the surgery, go for it, you won’t regret it. It’s normal to be afraid before surgery, but with God’s help, everything is possible. I truly recommend Dr. Lalezari and his team because they’re excellent. Honestly, I’m so happy I made the decision to have the surgery.

Dr. Lalezari was very professional, and everything was great. The staff was wonderful, they were perfect. I felt fully supported and well-informed throughout the process, and I received all the information I needed.
Now, I have so much more energy and a greater awareness of my body. I’m motivated to keep improving my health and well-being.
If you’re considering bariatric surgery, I want to share that there are many things people say about it, but most of them aren’t true. My experience was excellent, and I have no regrets at all.

Five years ago, I was told that I needed surgery for gallstones, but I postponed it out of fear.

Five years ago, I was told that I needed surgery for gallstones, but I postponed it out of fear. Recently, I was told once again that I needed the surgery, even though I wasn’t feeling any discomfort. This time, I decided to go through with it because I didn’t want to wait until it became complicated or painful.On the day of my surgery, I was very nervous and even scared, but I reminded myself that I didn’t want to wait until things got worse or the pain became unbearable. I knew I needed the surgery, and I made the decision to move forward. When I met Dr. Lalezari, I immediately felt confident and at ease. The entire process went smoothly. Dr. Lalezari was very kind and caring, and so was his staff.
Now I feel well and have very little discomfort. If you need surgery, I highly recommend coming to Dr. Lalezari. Don’t pay attention to negative comments or wait until your condition gets worse—take care of yourself right away, because your health comes first.

If I could give Dr. Lalezari a score of 100 or even 1,000, I absolutely would.

If I could give Dr. Lalezari a score of 100 or even 1,000, I absolutely would. I had been dealing with this pain for over two years and had seen other doctors, but no one would operate on me. God placed Dr. Lalezari in my path, and I’m deeply grateful to him for performing my surgery. The staff was also incredibly kind and caring. I had surgery for my hernia, and I won’t lie, the first two days were painful. I had never been operated on or put under anesthesia before. Now I truly understand what my mother and wife went through with the pain of childbirth. But thank God, I’m walking again, going out, picking up my kids from school, and feeling so much better every day.
