I liked Doctor Mehran. He was funny and made me feel comfertable. The only thing that is slightly negative I guess is that he seemed to rush or always seem like he was in a hurry. Posted on 04/28/2009 |

I had my procedure a week ago at UCLA. While I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Mehran, I must say that I found his ancillary staff very rude and disorganized. Everytime I called the office and spoke to a woman named Maggie, she was very rude, short and acted like my call was an inconvenience. 4 days after surgery, I had to call the office, and once again was faced with her attitude, but I was in pain and couldn't take it anymore, so I yelled back at her. Only then did she seem to have compassion and seemed eager to help me. Also, she once made an appointment for me, but didn't tell the office. I had to wait 3 hours to be seen (no exxaggeration)! Another time, I had to wait 45 minutues in an examination room for Maria to fill out surgical consents.Other than that, the...

My first impression was Dr. Mehran was energetic and funny.
My impression changed when I became aware of how seriously he take the safety of the patients pre- and post-op. Although he did not have a lot of time to spend during apppointments, he was very responsive by email when I had questions and concerns.
The clinic staff was very thorough even though they are extremely busy. Maria Harrison keeps the place running like a well oiled machine.
What I liked the least I liked about Dr. Mehran is he was always in a hurry. Also, for my own good, he was strict with me but it worked out in the end.
Dr. Mehran is part of an outstanding team of professionals.
Overall I would rate this program an "A". Posted on 01/10/2009 |

My first impression was that I really liked Dr. Amir. He trys to be funny sometimes. But, he is a stickler for losing weight before having surgery. He feels this shows that you are serious and determined in having this surgery and committed to your success. His research shows greater overall weightloss success when losing weight first.

I love Dr. Mehran and everyone at UCLA Medical Center. I definitely give him and his staff 10/10 points.
I would give Dr. Mehran 10/10 on surgical competence and 10/10 on bedside manner, and bedside manner is very important to me. Posted on 10/15/2008 |

I was very nervous in the beginning just not knowing what to say or expect but I have to say over all it was fine. The staff was very nice and Dr. Mehran is really down to earth and funny. Posted on 04/18/2008 |

I had my surgery 12/12/07 and Dr Mehran was great he gave me a hard time about the surgery and why I wanted it. but it was for my own good... he was also good with my husband and very pateint...my hubby did not meet the doctor until the day of the surgery and I had a few minor complications and he came out and explained every thing to my husband and assured him every thing was ok... Dr. Mehran and his staff came to see me the next day and they were all great. I could not ask for a better team of people. now some of the nurse at the hospital is another story!!!

My first impression of Dr Mehran was he is quite funny, very warm and was constantly trying to talk me OUT of having the surgery. After further time I understand this is a process of weeding out the patients that are using this as a crutch or a miracle pill. During the surgery process I found him to be very informative and incredibly nice to my mother who was with me prior to and in recovery. I adore his office staff and Maria the program coordinator. I love that they try to guilt you into the support groups. I am 3 1/2 mos post op and am having issues with nausea. He has ordered a battery of tests and insisted I bring this up with my therapist as this could be emotional or mental as well as a physical issue.
I think he is an excellent Bariatric Surgeon, cannot say enough good... [Click here for more] things about him and HIGHLY recommend him to any one in the LA area.
My only negativity stems from he is very hard to get hold of and you must go thru Maria for pretty much everything...

My first Impression of Dr. Mehran was his sense of humor. I must admit I gave him a hard time but he never folded.
He made some staff changes in the midst of my preparing for the surgery. To the best if I must say so myself. There was nothing major I really did not like about Dr. Mehran. What I think patients should know about Dr. Mehran is that he is one of the best Dr.'s at UCLA. He is a stickler for the rules. Everything he does is always in the best interest of his patients.

My First impression of Dr. Mehran was a good one. I felt satisfied that I would be in good hands during surgery. Overtime my impression became more and more positive at every meeting with him. His office staff was very efficient and inline with your personal goal. The least thing that I liked about Dr. Mehran was, that I felt and still feel that he needs to slow down! He is very efficient, confident, and knowledgable at what he does, however when he is in his office I felt that he needed to take a deep breathe and simply slow down a little bit. Dr. Mahran and his staff greatly emphasize the importance of before and after care. They have wonderful programs set up with straightforward information about life before & after the surgery. Dr. Mehran is very direct about the risks of surgery.... [Click here for more] At every meeting he would emphasize those risks to make sure I was very clear on what I was getting into. Overall Dr Mehran was wonderful. His bedside manner was also great, and the support he gave my family was so appreciated.
