I can't thank Dr Feiz enough, for he literally saved my life, I went into the emergency room because my small intestine was completely blocked, and I went into surgery with Dr. Feix quickly, if not I would not have been able to write this review, He took care of me while in hospital, and made sure I was progressing correctly. He answered honestly all my doubts and fears, and always greeted me with a smile. His office staff is very friendly and helpful as well! Thank you Dr. Feiz for everything! God bless you! read more

I recently had an emergency appendectomy after my Appendix suddenly burst. It was the middle of the night. I got a call from Dr Feiz the next morning. I had my surgery that afternoon. There were complications. My abdomen was filled with sepsis. Dr Feiz and his associate had to open my stomach. Part of my colon was infected. It was a 5 hour surgery. He saved my life. The care, and communication was exceptional. I've had two office visits so far and felt well taken care of! read more

I had an emergency appendectomy done by Dr Feiz and Dr Rim at Cedars in MDR. They explained the procedure, the details and plan so well, I had no questions. Also, the bed side manner and over interaction is top notch and exactly what I needed in my painful and confused and a little scared state. Both surgeons came to visit me in the hospital and also had my follow up, all is well! Thank you so much Doctors!! read more

Dr Feiz is most helpful as a surgeon who spends time and explained in detail what I was going through.

Amazing service from the doctor and staff everyone so friendly and helpful. My surgery was a success thanks to Doctor feiz and his staff I appreciate all your help read more

I can't recommend Dr. Feiz and his caring office staff enough. I had a very complicated surgery but it was successful. Emely is amazing too - she always returns calls and has a wonderful demeanor. read more

My recommendation comes with great satisfaction from having my gastric sleeve performed in Jan.2020 which was covered by my PPO insurance. Both Dr Feize and Dr Rim performed my surgery at Cedar Sinai Hospital which I found my care and stay to be positive and best received. As of today Sept.2022 I have lost 99 pounds. My weight goal has been always 130 pounds however currently I am working on gaining weight. Nothing contributed to my surgery. Weight Loss surgery is permanent therefore I recommend you ask any questions you may have during your psychological screening. Best of luck and thank Dr Feize and associates for helping me find myself in my weight loss journey. read more

Amazing doctor! Great skills & excellent patient care. Great office & staff. Very knowledgeable.

Best decision I ever made... I am 1.5 yrs post op and I'm 115lbs down. I feel amazing. My entire life changed and I'm thankful to Dr Feiz and Dr Rim for helping me get here. The process was super easy. The staff in the office is wonderful. I was only in pain for maybe 3days and after that, I no longer needed pain medication. I was walking a mile after a few weeks (slowly) but joined the gym after I was cleared by the doctors. I haven't stopped. I was working out and hiking but now I'm in the gym at least 3 days a week and now I'm running on the treadmill. I can't believe it. I went from a size 22 to an 8. If you are considering weight loss surgery definitely give them a call. You have to ready for a lifestyle change (I'm plant based/vegan now). This surgery is a great tool but not a magic wand; work is still required on your part to be successful. read more

Michael Feiz, MD - Heaviest to current weight. Down 115lbs - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I'm so glad I had my procedure done with Dr Feiz and Dr Rim. They are so caring and such great Drs. The team is wonderful and they guided me through the process and prepare me well for the big day. Dr Rim did my post op care. He kept checking on me and how my diet was going. I had my surgery about 7 months ago and I have lost 60 LB. My surgical areas are almost seamless. Over all I only had great experience from the Drs and their team and the results that I have are more than I expected it to be. read more

This review is overdue! The team of Dr. Feiz and Dr. Rim and their staff are truly a dream. Every call and email was answered sooner than expected. I had had VSG surgery in the back of my mind for a long time, but never made the call because it was intimidating to 1) admit you need medical intervention 2) fear of failure, and 3) the stigma that comes with following through with it ("you took the easy way out" comments). I have to admit that last part is what held me back from publicly writing this sooner, and kept it to myself outside of my trusted circle. I am now just shy of my "surgiversary" date (7/6/22), and this praise for them is so well deserved after this years' journey. This is not the easy way out: after nearly 12 months of hard work, I still very strictly follow daily goals as recommended by the team. Dr. Feiz' work is meticulous. I have seen incisions of others' work, and they're quite large. My incisions are paper thin, and no longer than a centimeter in length. They've changed my life, and repaired relationships with food/eating habits. They have many professional supports in place, and are resourceful to help you through it all. My patient coordinator was Izzy and she quite literally held my hand through the entire process - even a year later. My three small children get a brand new mom full of energy and ready for the day every single day, and that alone is worth doing it over and over again. I never thought I would be a "mommy and me" photo session person, but this year I finally felt confident enough to be photographed with my little girls rather than just standing behind the camera. The cherry on top is that mirrors are a little bit kinder to you and shopping for a new wardrobe is SO MUCH FUN! The only regret is not having made the call sooner. I have already referred them, and they too feel fortunate to have placed their trust in the team - you should too! read more

I'm confident both Dr. Feiz and Dr. Rim are probably the best bariatric surgeons that exists. the fact that I still get random calls 3 years later just checking up on my progress shows a lot about how professional they are. read more

I had gastric sleeve surgery on March 31. 2022 from Dr. Feiz and Dr. Rim. It was the best decision I ever made. Izzy, Armine and the office staff made the process easy and convenient. They even answered all my questions any time I would reach out to them. I am almost 6 months post op and am down 90 pounds. Thank you for giving me my life back. I highly recommend gastric sleeve surgery from Dr. Feiz and Dr. Rim. read more

Nothing was working I couldn't drop pass 189 lbs. the day of my surfing was 210lbs and was so ready. Surgery went great. Recovery was good tough but went smooth here i am a year and 3 months post opp I am weighing 145-148lbs. I feel healthy and full is more energy.

My review comes from a place of such gratitude. Dr.Feiz & Dr. Rim provided me with the opportunity to play an active role in my own life again. Pre-op, I feel that my personality wanted to express itself but was held back from being comfortable in my own skin. I have always been who I am but I was living in the back seat of my own life. It has only been a few months since I have started my weight loss voyage but I have been given the jumpstart I needed to live life optimistically with even more gratitude to express. Everyone here has been so very professional & pleasant. Thank you all! read more

Michael Feiz, MD - 4 months post op - spring 2021 - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

After going through years of fertility treatment, having a baby, more fertility treatments and inching my way to 40, I felt like my body was no longer mine. I have struggled with my weight since I was 9 years old, constantly dieting, constantly going up and down and it took a major toll on my mental and emotional health -- physical too. I had been exploring weight-loss surgery for a couple of years, meeting with several doctors and each doctor I felt did not take the time to get to know me, what I wanted and what would be best for my body until I met Dr. Feiz and his team. Dr. Feiz and Dr. Rim were incredibly supportive, informative, encouraging and realistic. His office staff is very responsive and understands each step, making sure you're being taken care of (especially with the process of insurance and pre-operative stuff that can feel overwhelming.) I am nearly 4 months post op and today I hit 80 pounds down. I feel amazing. My relationship with food has completely changed. I am eating food that I have always loved but I look at food like fuel versus medicine. I crave protein. I listen to my body. I know how much I can eat and I know that if I do not hydrate or get my protein in, I feel it. This was never about vanity for me. I just want to feel good, hike without feeling like I am going to pass out, bike-ride, surf and keep up with my energetic daughter. This has been life-changing. Thank you so much Dr. Feiz and Dr. Rim. read more

Check out this review of Dr. Feiz and Dr. Rim SAVED MY LIFE!!! 5 years ago today I went in for gastric bypass surgery with Dr. Michael Feiz.

AND NOW I AM ENGAGED TO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!!! https://m.facebook.com/DrFeiz/photos/a.525245634167647/3779594112066100/?type=3&d=m read more

I had my surgery on 6/30/2022 and I was very nervous but when I arrived they quickly put me to ease and I treated so good. I felt safe and my after care was amazing, I was taken very good care of and if I had any issues after I was contacted right away. I am down 50lbs and my diabetes is under control that my doctor took me off all diabetic medications. This is a mild stone for me. Thank you Doctor and especially the patient coordinators who I was calling non stop with questions. Itzel Guzman never let me down always getting back to me and helping me as much as she could. read more

I am so thankful with Dr Feiz and associates. It was a smooth process getting me prepared for my surgery date. I had some complications on my surgery but that was due to my poor health. Dr. Rim was so caring and making sure I was taken care of at the hospital, checking in on me constantly. Im so grateful they helped me gain control of my life. It's been 5 months and I've lost 125+lbs and I feel amazing. No more diabetes medication, sleep apnea is gone. Overall health wise I'm doing amazing. I'm forever grateful and I really appreciate Dr.Feiz and associates for being there every step of the way. read more

One evening this past August, feeling very sick, I went to the Marina Del Rey Cedars Sinai Emergency Room. Appendicitis was diagnosed. I was admitted, and scheduled for surgery the next day. In the morning, Dr. Sean Rim came by and said he would soon do the surgery. My infection was very bad, and from the CT scan results, Dr. Rim felt more was going on than just the appendicitis. He was right. After the appendectomy, Dr. Rim told me the appendix had ruptured and had actually blown its own created waste into my belly cavity, and he had a lot of cleaning to do inside me. I would have liked to fully recover a bit faster, but I was fortunate to be above ground, rather than below. Dr. Rim is skilled, compassionate, pleasant, and truly quite caring. He even gave me his personal cell phone number with the directive to call anytime if I had any concern after my hospital discharge, and he would take the call. I know this to be true, because I called the second night after 12:30 AM with a concern (I was OK), and he took the call. Dr. Rim's boss, Dr. Michael Feiz, met with me on a post-op appointment, and as he clearly explained all that had happened to me and what I was still feeling, I found him to be patient, articulate, and very empathetic. The Office Coordinator, Armine, is super nice, meticulous with scheduling and follow-ups, and even answers non-urgent emails over weekends and holidays. I found Dr. Michael Feiz and Associates to be a professional and trustworthy surgical group. read more

I had my surgery 4 months ago and the office of Michael Feiz MD has been great and very helpful with me. Dr. Rim Sean has also been super with me asking him question and making me feel comfortable talking to him. Thank you very much team! read more

Highly recommend Dr Feiz , Dr.Rim and the whole team ! I am two months post op and lost 65 lbs so far . Dr Rim and Dr Feiz are the absolute sweetest. They are literally just a call away. Izzy helped me through the whole process and made everything so easy and organized . It felt great to be able to connect with someone on a personal level . She made me feel at home and if it truly wasn't for her I would have been discouraged to get this surgery done. The insurnace , the pre ops , the authorization , and scheduling the surgery itself can be extremely over whelming, But Izzy took care of everything and all I had to do honestly is show up . There's something about this process that becomes a bit emotional . I was truly blessed with such a great team . 100 stars for this amazing practice . Best decision ever made in my life ,the gastric sleeve has changed my life around a complete 360 degrees. read more

Update: I've now lost enough weight to fix my ventral hernia I've suffered with since before the sleeve surgery. I elected to have an abdomiplasty (tummy tuck) at the same tame, and am now 6 weeks post op & a size 10; I feel great! Update 9/21/17-size 8 & feeling healthier every day. Hiking, swimming in the ocean, truly living life I never knew before due to weight considerations or obstacles. Truly life-changing read more

DO NOT USE THIS OFFICE I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, FIND A CENTER THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE FOLLOW UP CARE AND ATTENTION THAT YOU NEED AFTER YOUR SURGERY! DR FEIZ DOES NOT OFFER THAT AND IF THERE'S COMPLICATIONS BEWARE!!! HE BLAMES THE PATIENT BEFORE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY POSSIBLE ISSUES. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN MY CASE AND WOUND UP CAUSING ME AS WELL AS MY SON HARM BECAUSE OF IT!! All Dr Feiz did for me was promise that that his patients were like family to him and once he cuts into them any complications after that he washes his hands of them and says not my problem, not my fault, when he was actually the cause of problem and refuses to fix it. I had so much trauma done to my body because of this man and I almost lost my son due to him. And when I brought to him my records after surgery from my 2 week hospital say his response was, "it's all in your head", at that point I didn't want him operating on me again because I didn't trust him to touch me. As you can imagine every time I see a commercial for him advertising that he's this epic surgeon, I just couldn't keep my mouth shut anymore. read more

So I had already left a review a few weeks ago but i felt the need to give an update. So far its been slightly over a month and I have lost over 35 pounds, 37 to be exact. When doing my blood work prior to this procedure it had been discovered that I have type 2 diabetes. My sugar levels were in the high 100's close to 200 on an empty stomach, my general doctor had to prescribe me 2 types of meds to help with my diabetes. Now with about a month after the gastric sleeve I had a check up appointment with my general doctor and my blood sugar numbers while having drank my protein and not being on an empty stomach where 106 and anything under 125 is considered good and the doctor told me I did not have to take my diabetes meds anymore which is a relief because diabetes runs in my family. I am so happy that I got the gastric sleeve done by Dr. Rim. Dr. Rim and the team are caring and helpful and are there anytime you have questions or issues. read more

I had a lap band by a different doctor in 2005 and a replaced band in 2009. I've had many different doctors fill the band but had issues with other doctors. Based on the positive reviews I came to Dr. Feiz. His office was very friendly. I also really liked how he did the band adjustment! It was MUCH different than any other doctor and MUCH better than just guessing! I was very happy with my experience and I look forward to continuing my care with him. read more

Insurance verification is free anyways. I can call my insurance company to find out if a procedure is covered. False advertisement I hear on TV daily. As a policy holder I can get this info on my own. So if I provide my proof do I get a discount? read more

Wow, can I just say my journey so far with Dr. Feiz and his team has been AMAZING. I cannot begin to express how much gratitude I hold for the entire team that helped me achieve the next step toward the rest of my life! So, it was the day of my surgery (wow that was only five day ago at this point!) and I was having severe anxiety about going through with it. I knew this is what I wanted to do but I was terrified of the unknown. It was at this moment the doctor walked in and comfortingly grabbed my shoulder as if you say "you got this". He looked me in the eyes, which were calm and calculated, and said "Are you ready?" Everyone was so understanding and kind. This team knows what they are doing, they do not hesitate when performing this act of saving lives. And that is exactly what they did for me. They saved my life, and gave me the motivation and confidence to prove to myself that I can be the best me that I am. This surgery is more than getting to my goal weight. This is about me being able to healthily carry my future children to term, it's my ability to go rock climbing and hiking, it's the added years to my life that I was worried I would never have. So as I type this, tearing up while thinking of what they gave me, I say, from the deepest part of my soul and heart, thank you... Thank you so much. read more

I started interviewing surgeons in October 2019, and met with several before and after speaking with Dr. Feiz. He was by far the most educational surgeon, both in terms of surgical options, and what to look for when choosing a surgeon. He took all the time that I needed for him to answer my wife's and my questions. What I appreciated most is that Dr. Fiez is not just interested in getting through your surgery... he wants to help his patients make the necessary life changes to make the surgery successful over time. Dr. Feiz did my Vertical Gastric Sleeve surgery in January 2020. In the last 12 months, I have lost 125 lbs, and my life has completely changed. It culminated today in a 30 year dream of mine to go skydiving: https://youtu.be/nGkxvxo79_E Dr. Feiz is my hero! He saved my life, and gave me the opportunity to live like I never have before. The only reason I gave 4 stars, in stead of 5 stars, is that my discussions with the front office did not educate me well with regard to the challenges that would come with working with insurance to pay for everything. Because Dr. Feiz is out-of-network for a lot of plans, and I had a VERY good plan, it is taking a lot of time to get all of the bills paid. I am 1 year into this, and it is not resolved. I strongly recommend that anyone considering surgery to speak directly with both their insurance company and Dr. Feiz's front office to understand what is and is not in-network and what their final out-of-pocket costs will be. read more

My surgerywent well. The peocess was smooth and the nurses were very helpful. Dr Friz is an awsomedoctor. I had my surgery on November 4th. My weight in on surgery day was 271. As of today i have lost 41 pounds. Im very happy. Highly recommend. Izzy was awsome and very helpful read more

From the start I was in communication with Izzy and I can't say enough how helpful she is. Izzy supported me through the entire process and really made me feel comfortable to ask anything. Having GS surgery wasn't the easiest thing I have ever done but having Dr. Rim, Dr. Feiz, and Izzy definitely made it so much easier. The support system I get from this office is amazing. I wouldn't change one thing about my experience choosing Dr. Feiz and Associates. read more
