Saw Dr. Shouhed three years ago and it greatly improved my quality of life. My GERD symptoms were debilitating and now I sleep easy and can eat just about anything I want. I've been able to maintain a healthy weight and I have no noticeable scars which is awesome. Great doc with great team. read more

We reached out a few times, but he will Not read the CAT Scan that he asked us to send, and that we sent, because they misclassified it as an ultrasound before the appointment, and so now he wants us to wait many months until we do three more tests to look at it, and so we don't know anything at all, after waiting months for the first appointment. Instead of doing that, they spend time writing this false general statement. It's not right. read more

Dr Shouhed and his staff have been warm and friendly. Good communication and insight into VSG surgery and other options for me. Deisy was great at helping me understand the insurance process and getting my date for surgery. Valentine's Day 2023 was my surgery and everything went smoothly and I feel great! This robotic surgery left me very little incision and no pain. I would recommend Dr Shouhed and his staff to anyone! read more

Danny Shouhed, MD - Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

See all

I had a hiatal hernia repair with fundoplication and was very nervous about the procedure. Dr. Danny made me feel very comfortable and my entire experience from beginning to end was like no other doctor I've ever seen. His staff were very helpful the entire process. They followed up with me to make sure everything was going smoothly. When I arrived at the hospital for my surgery The staff was incredible I am now 30 days post op and I could never be happier with my results. I've lost 25 pounds and I haven't had heartburn once. It's amazing to know what it feels like to have your stomach in the proper location. I'm so grateful to Dr. Danny and I would recommend anybody to go see him. He is a genius. Thank you Dr. Danny for everything you've done for me in my life!!! read more

Dr. Shouhed is a very professional and caring doctor that helped me during my health issues. His staff especially Deisy, the patient coordinator, was very approachable and responsive when I contacted her about my concerns. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Shouhed for any procedure you need. read more

I'm from a rural county and I spent over two years being kicked around the system, without anyone ever really taking ownership, curiosity, passion or real interest in the complex mysteries surrounding my case. A year into my suffering, I discovered MALS and felt that the symptoms lined up with my experience in a way that seemed different than any other condition I had read about to date. Despite bringing this information into multiple providers, they were unable to help me rule out MALS for the subsequent year. I was beaten down, weak, doubting myself, burning through my cash reserves. I was unseen, unheard, and alone. I felt nearly defeated; I felt that I would never be heard, and that I would have to resign myself to a life of torture. In desperation, I began looking for MALS specialists online and called Dr. Shouhed's office. Sylvia listened to my story and immediately began speaking my language. From that point forward, I experienced nothing but world-class care, both on the medical side and the administrative side. All of my email correspondences (there were a lot) were responded to almost immediately, which blew me away. Deisy and the admin team walked me through every step of the process and Gabriella helped me write an awesome letter to convince my insurance company of the medical necessity of Dr. Shouhed's cutting-edge robotic MALS surgery. The team secured a one-time access to care exception for out-of-network care from my insurance company, and my out-of-pocket cost was minimal. The surgery brought me incredible, mind-blowing relief and Cecelia did an amazing job preparing me for surgery as well as answering my questions in real time, post surgery. Dr. Shouhed has such passion for the subject matter. He's a world-class surgeon, a world-class troubleshooter, and a world-class compassionate caregiver. He is exactly what I imagined in an ideal care provider as I languished in a basic healthcare network that would rather treat boilerplate conditions like high blood pressure than engage in any sort of sustained, cohesive, comprehensive diagnostic strategy. Dr. Shouhed and his talented team changed my life read more

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Shouhed and his entire staff. Alleza and Silva make the front office move like you are a VIP. Was referred to Dr. Shouhed by both my nutritionist and a close friend who had a procedure done by Dr. Shouhed. From day one felt like I was in the hands of the best of the best. I could have gone to other doctors/surgeons who would have been "in-network" ( and cheaper) none of them treated me like a person. Dr. Shouhed and the team at Providence St. John were amazing. While had planned for a routine gallbladder removal ended up with complications but under the care of Dr. Shouhed all was taken care of. I would recommend Dr. Shouhed any day of the week. Not only is he at the top of his game when it comes to being a surgeon but he is also one of the nicest doctors i have ever had. His bedside manner is truly like non-other. He is not a cocky bastard, and is beyond honest and always makes time to listen and answer all questions. Would not think twice about using Dr. Shouhed or referring him to anyone. read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Shouhed's office! I was referred for Gallbladder surgery and it was a seamless and easy process from start to finish. Dr. Shouhed is attentive, kind, and very detailed in his responses and made sure I got all my questions (even if I didn't think of them) answered in depth. He also did a fantastic job with the surgery and I'm excited for the minimal scars and getting back to normal life! I also want to shoutout Silvia who I worked with the most for coordination and booking the surgery. Silvia was patient and very kind to me as I was a bit anxious during the process. She was super proactive and I never felt like I was waiting on a response/follow up from her. Dr. Shouhed has a great, well run office and I would definitely recommend them if you are in need of GI surgery or consultation. read more

My daughter just had MALS surgery with Dr. Shouhed last week. He is an excellent surgeon who is very knowledgeable about MALS. He is very kind, caring, and has a wonderful bedside manner. It was worth flying across the country to have him do my daughter's surgery. read more

I found Dr. Shouhed by doing some research on bariatric surgeons in LA County. My hospital of choice is Cedar's... and Dr. Shouhed came highly recommended. Dr. Shoehed and his team are excellent. Super knowledgable, I never felt insecure or embarrassed, I felt totally supported by his entire staff, and appreciated the kind care and courtesy they all afforded me and other patients. My surgery went well, I have lost 85% of expected weight loss in just under a year (103 lbs!). I feel fantastic and look awesome (if I do say so myself). Dr. Shouhed has been my cheerleader and friend through this entire process. I would recommend him without hesitation. Feel free to message me on Yelp with any questions you might have! read more

Dr. Shouhed was the only surgeon who understood what I needed for my revision. He is kind and skilled and I'm so grateful for his service and support. read more

Dr Shouhed is wonderful, very skilled and he really listens. I have never been treated so well by a Dr and his staff it on top of everything as well. Such a great experience especially compared to most others I have been to. Very thankful to have found them. read more

I am 59, pre diabetic, high blood pressure and elevated resting heart rate. My cardiologist said my makers indicated with family history a heart attack in the next 8 to ten years if I didn't loose weight. Since the surgery, 2.5 months ago, Ive dropped 40 pds and have been adjusting well to dietary changes. I am feeling really good in general. Dr. Shouhed is an excellent surgeon, just amazing on the robotics used for this easy surgery. He is a 10 in personality and responsiveness to my needs! He and his office staff. I am recommending him to anyone who asks. read more

5 years ago I had gastric bypass surgery by Dr Shouhed. Yes the robotics was fun and left very small scars. But the result of this horrible surgery on my life has been a disaster. After a consultation with another gastric bypass surgeon, he wondered why I had such extensive surgery, when a sleeve would have helped. I am now malnourished. I cannot eat, or eat very little. My bones are like paper, according to the spine surgeon who did back surgery on me where I developed two fractures. I am nauseous when I eat. Protein makes me sick. Very little doesn't make me sick, so it's hard to get the nutrition I need. At some point Dr Shouhed said his job was done and now I should just see GI doctor, who was not helpful. I am about to change GI docs again, since they know very little about bypass surgery. I lost 50 pounds (at one point I was down to 103 pounds; I'm at a healthy 130 now). The reasons for surgery were high blood pressure and really bad GERD. Both are back. Surgery was a waste of time and has changed my life in a negative way forever. There is no patient care here. I would not recommend him or this surgery!! read more

As a physician myself, I did thorough research on many surgeons before consulting with Dr. Shouhed. He was thorough, responsive, and willing to answer any questions or concerns I had about my procedure. His staff worked with my unique insurance situation and scheduling limitations without hesitation. On the day of my surgery, I was treated with the utmost professionalism and care. I had minimal pain post-operatively and again, Dr. Shouhed was available to answer any concerns I had despite his busy schedule. I can feel that my procedure was performed by a world-class surgeon. I would trust my health in his hands again, and highly recommend him to anyone considering a surgical procedure under his area of experience. read more

I went to Daniel for my ingrinual hernia on both sides. Daniel is SUPER NICE and goes above and beyond to make sure you're okay. The surgery he performed on my hernia was amazing and followed up with me after to see how I'm doing. He truly is an amazing doctor and an amazing person with a great heart. read more

Dr Shouhed is really a gem. I went to a few consults with other drs, but knew he'd be the dr for me right when I met him. Great bedside manner, very professional and his office is always running on time. Got great results from my surgery with Dr. Shouhed. Highly recommend him. Thanks Dr. Shouhed! read more

Great Doctor, great office and staff. Explained everything from start to finish and had minimal pain after surgery. could not ask for anything more. If I had to do it again I would definitely call Shouhed. Thanks for everything doc. Keep up the good work. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr Shouhed and his team. From initial consult to post op visit (both video due to Covid but fantastic) I had a superb experience with him. He understood my health concerns and goals and did an excellent job counseling me through my surgical plan. I have always been very meticulous when it comes to choosing products/services so it's no surprise I took my time looking into reviews, his background, and of course the procedure itself that I was considering. Dr. Shouhed has an excellent educational background. He completed his residency at Cedars-Sinai and his fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital - two highly reputable hospitals in the nation. He has received a resident teaching award - meaning not only do his patients admire him and his work but the next generation of surgeons do as well. When I called his office (Cedars-Sinai) to schedule an initial consult, I was very confident that I would be in excellent hands with him. My surgery went extremely well. My procedure was done laparoscopically and I honestly don't think I'll have much scarring - it already looks so good at 2 weeks post op. If I had to do it all over again... without a question, Dr. Shouhed would be my surgeon every time. read more

The moment I met Dr. Shouhed, I knew I was in good hands. He explained my upcoming surgery in a way that I could understand. He listened to my concerns in a way that made me feel comfortable. My surgery was a success with no problems. I was out of the hospital one day earlier than expected! Thank you Dr. Shouhed. read more

Dr. Shouhed is the best! He goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and taken care of. He's also super talented at what he does and is very professional and thorough. I can not say enough great things about Dr. Shouhed. read more

Dr. Shouhed is a very smart and caring doctor. I have been to so many gastroenterologists who found nothing wrong with me before finding him. Dr. Shouhed said that if he did not find the cause of my lifelong pain and nausea with eating (and sometimes even with drinking water) that he would keep brainstorming until he got to the bottom of my symptoms. When my gastric emptying scan came back normal, he ordered a barium swallow for me where he discovered that I have severe GERD and a mild hernia. He also wrote an order for me to get a celiac plexus block which gave me two pain-free months that I am grateful for. He serves a unique population of patients with complicated gastrointestinal issues. Today, he placed a bravo pH study capsule to see how far up my acid reflux goes. He was even there when I woke up from the anesthesia! I thought he'd be too busy seeing other patients by then, but he cared enough to come back to check on me! I am so blessed that I found this kind and brilliant doctor. He helps so many people with years of pain and I am grateful to have found him! read more

After terrible abdominal pain landed me in the ER, an ultrasound revealed gallstones with a recommendation for gallbladder removal surgery. I was referred to Dr. Danny Shouhed by my gastroenterologist. From start (a quickly scheduled teleconference call) to finish (post-op follow-up appointment) and everything in between (a robotic cholecystectomy), everything was handled with extreme professionalism, forward-thinking talent and calm. Dr. Shouhed was available at all times and made the unexpected medical experience as pleasant as possible. I'd highly recommend him. read more

This Surgeon made unrealistic promises..did an unnecessary surgery..and after 5 emergency room visits I cannot eat or drink and am on a feeding tube and he just abandonded me forcing me to find someone to help me...terrifying...Run read more

Dr. Shouhed was the one who did my appendectomy. He and his team were wonderful throughout the entire process. He is very professional, knowledgeable and caring towards his patients. I have never had any problems on the surgery and I am at my healthiest I have ever been. Thank you so much Dr. Shouhed!!! read more

Dr. Shouhed did a minimally invasive laparoscopic gallbladder removal on me about a year ago and the results were fantastic ! I didn't have any complications and it truly was minimally invasive ! I walked out with a few Band-Aids closures and I was in the hospital just for two days for observation normally it's one day but I do have a lot of health issues and medical observation for two days was necessary. I have a lot of abdominal complications and I've had many operations, other surgeons did not want to do a laparoscopic removal of my gallbladder however Dr. Shouhed was able and confident enough that he can do a minimally invasive laparoscopic removal of my gallbladder and as he promised the outcome was amazing. Thank you Dr Shouhed read more

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Dr. Shouhed and his team. When I found out I needed surgery I wanted to have it as quickly as possible. Dr. Shouhed's team appreciated this urgency and did their best to accommodate me. They scheduled my surgery for the beginning of November which was relatively quick (a little over a month from the diagnosis). I was then notified of a cancellation and was able to get the surgery performed just a week after my initial consultation. Dr. Shouhed was incredibly knowledgeable and sensitive about my condition and concerns. I truly felt I was in very good hands throughout the process and can't recommend him and his team enough. read more

What do you consider when selecting a doctor? Skill, caring/empathy and a solid office staff are the factors I look at. Dr. Shouhed excels in all three categories! I went to see him for a heital hernia after having an initial surgery with anoher doctor that did not solve the problem. He was great and his office staff was always a pleasure to deal with. I can't say enough positive statements about him and would not hesitate to strongly recommend him to anyone. read more

I had a RNY gastric bypass in 2006 by a different Dr and 14 years later I was having some problems. I went to visit Dr Shouhed for a follow up on some of the problems. I spent not even 5 minutes in the waiting room. Shortly thereafter saw a nurse and Dr Shouhed in a room. He explained what possibly could be going on. After some diagnostic testing to see what was going on it was what he thought. He explained that I would need a revision. I was reluctant and he was totally understanding. I told him I needed to think about it. My medical problems were still bothering me, I decided to have the revision. He was able to get me in as soon as insurance would clear me. In the surgery room there was Dr Shouhed, a big robot looking thing, and several students. I was treated with the utmost respect. Afterwards, I had a private room. I was there for three days and can't say enough of wonderful things about the nurses, their assistants, the food (for after bariatric surgery was awesome, especially the flavored ice and broth). After the revision, a newly constructed esophageal valve, hernia removal. I now feel 100% better. The recovery was like night and day from my first surgery. I have to contribute that to Dr Shouhed's excellent medical expertise. I would highly recommend him and his staff. Please don't go anywhere else. He is it!!! read more

Simply the best! I had been suffering from severe acid reflux most of my adult life. I was on multiple medications and had to watch my diet and even then I still continued to have acid reflux. Some nights the reflux was so bad I was unable to sleep and felt lethargic and tired the next day. I decided enough was enough and consulted with my internist regarding fundoplaction. My internist advised me against surgery and recommended we increase my meds to 3'xs daily. I decided I could not continue living like this and made my first appointment Dr. Shouhed. During my first visit I was very impressed with his knowledge, understanding and patience to explain everything from potential causes and required testing to get to the root cause of my problem. After having all my testing completed Dr. Shouhed recommended we move forward with surgery and I very happy he did. His technique is amazing and honestly I can't believe I didn't see him sooner. I'm 5 weeks post surgery and thanks to Dr. Shouhed no more acid reflux. I highly recommend Dr. Shouhed and am very grateful that I found him. read more
