World-Renowned Surgical Specialist Based at Cedars-Sinai Hospital
If you are reading this, you or a loved one are likely concerned about a medical issue that might require surgery. Many patients who come to us have either been recently diagnosed or are coping with a chronic medical condition that they want to have examined by a top-notch surgeon to ensure they get the best advice and treatment. Our team of surgeons are all board-certified general surgeons, who all specialize in a specific area of surgery. However, despite our team’s surgical skills and experience, our goal is avoid performing surgery whenever possible. Should surgery be necessary, each of our surgeons utilizes their advanced skills and state-of-the-art technology to perform minimally invasive surgery. As trusted experts, our surgeons are often called upon to perform emergency surgery on patients admitted to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, as well as other leading hospitals in LA. Each one of our surgeons are also highly regarded as educators and leaders in their respective fields. Most importantly, their skills and experience are equally matched by their compassion and listening skills – which we believe are as important as their surgical skills.
More importantly, our team of world-renowned surgeons have saved countless lives, and have enabled countless more to live healthy, happy lives.
