Bakersfield Surgical Associates Bariatric Center


Dr. Irani was very professional and someone I was able to trust. His office staff are very nice and Dr. Irani explains the procedure and risks. I would recommend Dr. Irani to anyone.

Dr. Irani is a very caring doctor and his nurse, Karen, is awesome. Dr. Irani took the time to explain the risks/benefits of this surgery to me and my husband.

Dr. Irani performed hernia surgery on my husband in Dec 03 & we couldn't have asked for a better person to have performed his surgery.
He hasn't been doing gastric bypass surgery very long but as far as a surgeon goes you don't get much better. My personal physician speaks very highly of his skills & bed-side manners & this means alot to me. I was a bit skeptical at first but after meeting with him I had no doubt that he was the right surgeon for me.

<b>I didn't really get to talk to the Dr. that much. I dealt with his assistant for the whole visit except for the last 2 or 3 minutes. He seemed nice but I can't say more than that because I didn't see him long enough. His assistant (I feel so bad I can't remember his name) was very nice and very helpful. He answered every question I had and even some I didn't. I also loved talking to the ladies in the office because they have such great personalities. All in all, if he's anything like his staff then he must be great.</b>

Thank you Dr. Irani. I can not believe how good I am starting to feel.My husband and I were very impressed with the time you have taken to be sure all of our questions were answered. The knowledge base of you and your staff is excellent. You have brought to your practice a very caring and efficient group of employees. I don't think any of your patients, myself included, could be in better hands. Again, thank-you.

I was happy with Dr. Irani. He was very informative. His office staff has been friendly and helpful as well.
I was concerned that he would have an accent that I couldn't understand, but he was clear and easy to understand. (sounds strange but i think that is a huge concern for any of us that have had a Dr who was hard to understand...not knowing what the Dr is talking about is dangerous...this is my health I am talking about!) So I was pleased with that aspect.
He brought up dangers of the surgery, such as complications like leakage. He described how the srugery is performed as well.
I was pleased with him and am crossing my fingers that he has made a good case for my insurance co.

I met Dr Irani on 8/22/03. He was a very compassionate man. He seemed very sure that this surgery can be a life changing event for me. I hope he's right, because @ 420lbs, I need help. I am too heavy to do many everyday things.
I also like the staff of BSA. They have all been nice people who are easing my aprehensions about the surgery.
I will let you know how things progress.
