I'm 6 months out from my fat grafting to my cheeks and chin, and I'm really happy with my results!…read moreI've always been insecure about the hollowness in my face, esp my right cheek area. I tend to sleep and chew on that side and I felt like it made my face look uneven. I didn't want to keep getting fillers, so I decided to go with fat grafting instead. The procedure only took about an hour, and I'm really glad I did it. My face looks more balanced, and I love that the results still look natural. Overall, I'm really happy with my decision!

Turning 50 is right around the corner,I decided to get my lower facelift done before then. I'm so…read moreglad I did. My face had already started bothering me my cheeks were dropping, my laugh lines were getting deeper, and the area around my mouth was making me look tired and sad. I didn't want to wait another 10 years to finally do something about it. I wanted to do it now so I could enjoy the results now and hopefully help slow down some of the visible signs of aging. Because Dr. Choi had performed my eyelid surgery 10 years ago , I already had confidence in his skill and approach. Dr. Choi guided me through the entire process of a deep plane/SMAS facelift, answered my questions, and helped me feel comfortable and informed throughout the experience. I'm very pleased with my results. My jawline is more defined, my face looks refreshed, and the lines around my mouth have softened significantly while still maintaining a natural appearance. I'm really happy I decided to do this for myself now instead of waiting until I was older. I feel refreshed, but I still look like me.

I had a breast reduction and lift here in October 2025. While undergoing major surgery requires…read moretrust and clear communication, my experience with both Dr. Zeineh and her office staff has been deeply frustrating and disappointing from start to finish. While Dr. Zeineh is polite in person, her complete lack of respect for patients' time is deeply upsetting. She was consistently at least 45 minutes late to my office appointments and was almost an hour late on the morning of my actual surgery. Having worked in medical offices myself alongside doctors managing high patient volumes who rarely ran more than 15-20 minutes behind, this level of constant delay is unreasonable. Additionally, front office interactions were routinely cold. When I called anxious about a potential abscess based on imaging results, I misspoke out of fear; rather than responding with empathy to a scared post-op patient, Stephanie cut me off and patronized me, asking, "Who told you that?" This pattern of poor communication extended to my medical care as well. I developed tissue necrosis post-op, and while the Dr. Zeineh did treat the area and it eventually healed, she never directly named the condition or offered any personal reassurance that what I was experiencing was a manageable part of recovery. Navigating a scary surgical complication without direct, comforting communication from my surgeon was extremely unsettling. To make matters worse, at 10 months post-op, my breasts show significant sagging. When I scheduled a consultation to discuss a revision, the office canceled my appointment under the premise of drafting a self-pay estimate first. It has now been over a month since I requested the quote--and weeks past my original appointment date--with zero outreach from their team. It should never be the patient's responsibility to constantly chase down a practice for basic administrative follow-up and necessary post-surgical support. Major surgery requires punctuality, transparency, and compassionate care, and this practice fell short across the board. I cannot recommend them.

I was walking & doing errands same day. I felt little bit of pain but the pain management medication Dr. Khosravi prescribed for me help elevate the pain but other than that I am doing great. I would recommend Dr. Khosravi to anyone who want to hernia repair or any other procedure. He is the best & I am grateful he preform my procedure. Thank you so much Dr. Khosravi Abdisalam Dualeh

On May 30, 2023 I had a double hernia repair where the doctor placed mesh on both sides. The…read moresurgery was just for a fatty hernia on the right side. The doctor took advantage of my older 1970's hernia to call them a repair and place mesh. The doctor didn't explain the procedure to me prior to the surgery of that he was focusing on a repair of something that I didn't complain about or was even an issue. I thought I was just describing my prior health history and he took that as a way to fix something that wasn't an issue and profit by the work. Around August 2024 I started having the most excruciating and severe pain in my lower pelvic area and I knew it had to be the mesh. The doctors office was very slow to respond and set up an appointment. I had taken 3 emergency room visits in total. The ER would only run a CAT scan which did not show any results the doctor scheduled an MRI and he claimed it did not show a mesh issue. I had to wait 6 months for an appointment with a UCLA specialist who used the same MRI to verify an issue with the right side and the left. I had to wait for a surgery date until February 2025 for the right and July 2025 for the left side. In both cases the mesh had migrated down to my lower pelvic area. They had to dig out the right side in sections. The specialist said both sides were the worst he ever seen and both surgeries took longer than most of this situation. The mesh had adhered to my organs and other internal components in that area. Whether it was failure of the mesh or poor installation of the mesh is hard to say. But it is ironic that they both failed. The pain from this type of situation is indescribably painful and unbearable. I have no idea how I survived. It cost me my job as I could focus or concentrate. The doctor ignored my begging and pleading to remove the mesh. He wouldn't even acknowledge the mesh as the issue and he looked at the same MRI that the specialist looked at. This doctor lacks any compassion or concern for his patients well being and health. I would run and not look back. If you were to have an issue, and I suggest you look into mesh failure, as it can fail, don't expect and support from Dr. K he seems to think he is beyond a mistake or that something that was beyond his control, like product failure, could even happen on one of his surgeries. When I had my last appointment with you, Dr. Khosravi, I had mentioned the name of the surgeon, and you said you knew who he was, I would suggest you reach out to his office and ask them to send you a copy of the two surgery report and the photos of the mesh while they removed it. If not I'd be happy to send you a copy as I have them on file as I now have two law suites pending for product failure. The only reason you get even one star is that fact that they don't allow you to do negative stars.

My ob was not on call that evening (sad, because he's great!), but I had the privilege of receiving care from Dr. lao! My first baby I got the epidural, but this one I was hoping to go unmedicated. MAN is that so much easier said than done! As I lingered for awhile at 9/10 centimeters, I was becoming more and more tired, scared, and indecisive on my next steps for bringing my son into the world. Every contraction made me less confident that I could do it, but Dr Lao was one of the 3 in the room who reassured me and helped me through! My biggest praise has to go to her CALM CALM demeanor. What a difference that made! She was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness, never pressed me for what she wanted over what I wanted, but also (so) kindly gave her recommendations and gave me both the space to think things through and all the options before me. She also took great care and extra steps in physically delivering my son, and honored my wish to delay cord clamping until the cord turned white. Never with a hint of annoyance either. Thank you Dr. Lao!!

Had an appt scheduled with Dr Lao today when I was informed that she no longer worked there.

I hope our paths cross again in the future. Blessings!

If I could give Dr Jeffrey Johnsrud zero stars I would!!! He is absolutely the WORST surgeon/…read moredoctor I have ever encountered. He performed a routine surgery on my dad, and completely ruined his life. His surgery was supposed to be an outpatient surgery, quick and an easy recovery.... Boy was that a lie with Johnsrud as the surgeon. My dad was admitted to the hospital where he suffered horrible complications due to a mistake performed during surgery by him. My dad suffered excruciating pain and extreme weight loss for 9 months following this "routine and safe" surgery. He had to undergo numerous nerve block procedures, and additional surgeries to correct his mistake. The entire 10 months this doctor was rude, inconsiderate and Gave my family the run around of "it will get better". But guess what?! It didn't get better!!!!! Finally my dad went to see a doctor at cedar sinai who confirmed what we all knew... Johnsrud did a botched surgery and it needed to be corrected. Once the dr performed her surgery she was astonished at what she found on the inside... The original mesh used to hold the hernia in place was not even intact! It was found balled up in his lower abdominal cavity, causing cuts all over!! The hernia was NEVER repaired, and the damage he had caused was life threatening. This man is a horrible doctor and has ruined my dads life, forcing him into early retirement and almost killing him. If you value your loved one, or your own life... Do NOT go to him for any surgery!! Do your research first.

STAY FAR AWAY if you value you or your family members' health. This man has absolutely RUINED the…read morelife of someone close to me with his botched surgeries. It's one thing if he made a mistake and actually gave a shit, but he doesn't. Do your research, there have been many suits against him, and I'm sure there will be many more. You have many options for surgeons, and Dr Johnsrude should NEVER BE considered one of them. You've been warned.
