"I chose Dr. Yasrebi because of his record. He has done over 1200 surgeries and never lost one patient. He has not had a patient even come close. That was very important to me. I checked out his medical license with the state of Florida and Dr. Yasrebi has no reports of any patient filing a claim with the medical board or any medical law suits. He had not one infraction. I checked out the other surgeon in Jacksonville that my insurance wanted me to use and his record was not clean. Nor had he done no where near the amount of surgeries. Dr Yasrebi is very stern. He doesn't play games. He expects you to do as you are told. He chooses who he wants to operate on. He spends so much time with you. On my first visit consultation he spent 2 hours with me examining me and talking to me and getting my history. I didn't have this done by a nurse. I visit him about every 3 weeks and he takes time to check me over, talk with me, go over my eating journal, and my breathing machine. I am very impressed that he doesn't rush into surgery. He makes you lose 10% of your weight before he will operate. He also runs a battry of tests and sends you to a psychiarist (spelling) to make sure you are mentally stable. Even though he is not covered by my insurance, I feel paying the $8000 out of packet is worth the quality of care I am receiving. rnI had the surgery on 1-20-05. Dr. Yasrebi was wonderful. He spent about 25 hours with me before I had surgery. He stayed with me until I was awake and made sure I was OK. He came back to see me the day of my surgery at 7PM and stayed with me and walked with me for an hour. He came back the next morning at 8AM to walk with me and show me how to use my feeding tube for another hour. Then he released me to go home. Dr. Yasrebi's patients only stay one night in the hospital. He makes sure you are so healthy before surgery that you recover so fast. The first day I was sore and some pain, the second day was worse and the third day was bad too. Just felt like I had been kicked in the chest. By the forth day I was much better. Today is the fifth day and I am so much better.Dr. Yasrebi calls you 2 times a day for the first 10 days to check on you. He calls you from his home. You have his home and cell number too. I would recommend Dr. Yasrebi to anyone. I did my homework to find the best surgeon in North Florida and according the the DBPR he is the best. His medical record for the past 25 years in clean as whistle. That is something you don't see with weight loss surgions. He has done almost 1200 and never lost one person. I go back tomorrow for my 1 week checkup. I will follow up with him every month for one year.rn2-22-05rnWent back for my one month follow up and I was down to 209. Dr. says I am right on track. I can say enough good things about Dr. Yasrebi. rn7-19-07rnWow has time flown by. I still see Dr Yasrebi once a month and I am still losing. He is the best surgeon. I advise people to please do their homework on Doctors before having the surgery. Most people just want a quick fix and will let anyone cut on them. Research your surgeon. Ask them questions. If they can't answer your questions, find another Doctor. I am down to 155 now and I am shooting for 145-149.

Still follow up often with Dr. Yasrebi, if you don't he will call you and check on you himself. Still keeping my weigh off because of his long care follow up. 6.5 years and would do it again tommorrow. "
