I feel great after my bariatric Surgery, happy emotions, definitely positive emotions.

I feel great after my bariatric Surgery, happy emotions, definitely positive emotions. From 1 to 10, I would definitely give Dr Lalezari a 10. He was very informative, very detailed with the procedures and requirements that I had to get before the surgery. And as well with different type of offers such as diet, medication before the surgery, other options besides the surgery. The aftercare of the hospital was amazing. I definitely give them a 10 plus. Their hospitality was on point. Their time management as well too, everything was great

This is the second time I’ve had surgery with Dr. Lalezari.

This is the second time I’ve had surgery with Dr. Lalezari. The first one was two years ago for my gastric sleeve, and this time he repaired my hernia. He has always been kind and very patient with me, and he takes the time to make sure everything is clearly explained. Throughout all this time, both he and his staff have been very attentive—Jennifer, the doctor’s wife, and the entire team always make sure I’m well cared for and understand everything. I’ve recommended Dr. Lalezari to my primary care doctor and even shared several of his flyers at my main clinic. I actually found out about him through a specialist who was treating my lower back. After my first surgery with him, my primary doctor was amazed at how healthy and well I looked. I used to have diabetes, but after the surgery, my condition improved significantly. My life has truly changed since I met Dr. Lalezari, and now I feel so much better.

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

It’s been two weeks since my bariatric surgery, and I’m already feeling great. I had no complications, everything went well. The doctor and staff treated me very good, and I really appreciated that they took the time to explain the entire procedure to me before the surgery. I definitely recommend them!

My experience with Dr. Lalezari and his staff was excellent, everyone was very kind and attentive throughout the entire process. The bariatric surgery has helped me a lot, the first two days were a bit painful, but by the third and fourth day, I was already feeling much better. I highly recommend them.

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.
