Before my surgery, I was nervous. I shared my plans with people, but the negative comments made me decide to keep it to myself and trust in myself and Dr. Lalezari. Before, my life was mostly working, eating, and sleeping. Now, I have so much energy — I work overnight shifts, come home to clean, play with my son and my ca…

Before my surgery, I was nervous. I shared my plans with people, but the negative comments made me decide to keep it to myself

Before my surgery, I was nervous. I shared my plans with people, but the negative comments made me decide to keep it to myself and trust in myself and Dr. Lalezari. Before, my life was mostly working, eating, and sleeping. Now, I have so much energy — I work overnight shifts, come home to clean, play with my son and my cat, and even go for walks. No one knew I had surgery, but everyone keeps telling me how amazing I look, and that motivates me even more. My clothes finally fit again, and I love picking out outfits instead of hiding in hoodies. People warned me with scary stories, but I noticed that if you don't follow the instructions from your doctor, that I believe you might get sick. Because I've been following step by step. And starting from my pre-op diet all the way until now, I haven't skipped a day without getting my vitamins, without drinking my water, my protein, and everything has been amazing for me. If anyone asks me, I’ll say: absolutely, do it. It will change your life

I received excellent care at the hospital, and my surgery was a complete success.

I received excellent care at the hospital, and my surgery was a complete success. I’m now about to return to work, feeling healthy and grateful. Dr. Lalezari has provided outstanding service — he has always taken the time to explain every step of the process and has been kind. The clinic staff has also been incredibly attentive and welcoming. I would recommend them to anyone considering gallbladder surgery or any other procedure Dr. Lalezari performs. I’ve already told a friend so she can start her treatment because you all are awesome. To anyone thinking about having surgery with Dr. Lalezari, I encourage you to go for it, he is an excellent surgeon. In God’s name, everything will turn out well. Don’t wait too long, because illnesses only progress with time

I was prepared for my gastric sleeve surgery, and that’s why I recommend bariatric surgery

I was prepared for my gastric sleeve surgery, and that’s why I recommend bariatric surgery, to be healthier and to do things you haven’t been able to do in years. People will say many things about the surgery, and some of those comments affected me and made me a bit nervous, but I trusted Dr. Lalezari, who performed my surgery, and everything went well. The staff was also very kind, and everything turned out great

After my Bariatric Surgery I feel really good, honestly, it improved my blood pressure and my back pain and a lot of things I felt before, if anybody wants to do it I can say just do it if you get the chance, It's better to do it now than when it's late. You can start the treatment with my Doctor, I highly recommend him based on my personal experience He's very good. I really love his work and he's very professional, The entire staff is also excellent and they're all really nice.

I feel good, really happy and excited for the future. Dr. Lalezari was very polite and explained everything to me clearly.

I feel good, really happy and excited for the future. Dr. Lalezari was very polite and explained everything to me clearly. I would definitely recommend him, on a scale from 1 to 10, I’d give him a 10 without hesitation. The staff was always very respectful. I remember one day I went in thinking I had an appointment, and even though I didn’t, they still took me in because it was time for my monthly follow-up. They didn’t send me home or make me reschedule.
If you’re considering the surgery, know that it can be a little painful — but if you’ve had children, it’s nothing compared to that. But do it — don’t give up, it’s worth it

The entire process, including the day of the Bariatric surgery, was quick.

The entire process, including the day of the Bariatric surgery, was quick. At first, I was nervous and scared, but I’m surprised that just three days after the surgery, I can walk and move around comfortably. I’m very grateful to Dr. Lalezari, he’s an excellent doctor and the staff is always kind. To anyone considering this life changing step, don’t hesitate to come and start your treatment with him.

I had my hernia repair, and I was really glad to see Dr. Lalezari before the surgery.

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
