I needed emergency gall bladder removal. Dr Fallas came highly recommended from my primary care Dr. he was attentive, informative, efficient and got the job done. I was out the next day and all went smoothly. Very experienced with laparoscopic . read more

My father had hernia surgery with Dr. Moses Fallas on 3/18/2026 about 3 weeks ago now. Immediately afterwards he started having complications that night, It landed him in the emergency room and in a hospital stay for about five days. The entire time we were trying to get a hold of Dr. Fallas to come and see my father since nobody else was able to work on him. It Took two different hospitals And almost a week for Dr. Fallas to come see my father all for him to say that he was fine. My dad has been home for a week now and has been having a lot of pain and bleeding from the Incision . So tomorrow was his first post op Appointment with Dr. and now they call us to reschedule because he has a holiday. His staff is very unprofessional, unorganized and they genuinely don't care about the patient's health. We told them many times that my father has leukemia and for the surgery he had to get off his leukemia medication and they still have been prolonging this entire process. Today I called his office in Beverly Hills to get a little bit more information on some aftercare for my father or some information on who to speak with and the male receptionist didn't seem to care. We've been getting the same treatment from day one. So just a heads up for anyone thinking of getting surgery do your research first and make sure you choose a team who's Considerate and has some compassion towards their patient. read more

Dr. Fallas is extremely capable and is very efficient. Bedside manner from hospital staff was amazing but from the Dr. himself, eh, it was whatever. That's the only critique . Nobody's perfect. I would still highly recommend this Dr. read more

If you want to end up with unbearable stomach pain for the rest of your life choose him, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SURGEON! A basic gallbladder surgery will turn into you ending up in the ICU WITH A SYSTEMIC INFECTION OR WORST.... with a G-tube or COLOSTOMY BAG . Please choose another provider. read more

Dr. Fallas has done 3 major surgeries on me. The first was an incisional hernia repair. The second surgery, gall bladder removal, was very difficult as I have extensive adhesions from previous surgeries. I was in a lot of pain, and his office moved quickly to get me into the hospital. The most recent surgery was a small bowel resection, again dealing with my morass of adhesions. I can't recommend Dr. Fallas highly enough. He's very personable and attentive, he has a first-rate surgical team, and his surgical skills, for regular and laparoscopic procedures, are unsurpassed. If you're going into a major surgery, the importance of feeling confident in your surgeon can't be over-stated. Dr. Fallas provides that. read more

Dr. Fallas is phenomenal! Top care. Incredible quality work and his entire staff is top shelf! From my consultation through my procedure, Dr. Falls exemplified excellence at every step. I wish there were more than 5 stars available. 10/10!!!!! read more

Dr. Fallas is an *excellent* surgeon -- he listens to the needs of his patients and takes care of them. He helped me when other physicians were dismissing my symptoms, thank you very much! read more

WARNING!!!!! BE VERY VERY CAREFUL OF THIS OFFICE!!! GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!!!!! Wish I could give this office a -10. I went there on a consultation, and the doctor talked to me for 5 or ten minutes, and I do not in any way denigrate his help here, because Dr. Fallas was excellent. But after this very short consultation, I asked how much I owed him, because he is not covered by our insurance. He said to 'just give me $100." So I did. But now, his office is trying to extort another $275 from us. We explained the situation many times, and they keep demanding more money and sent us to collections. VERY VERY DISHONEST. read more

Avoid this surgeon at all costs. Extremely rude and condescending. He threatened to cancel my surgery while I was in pre op because I asked him questions regarding the risks. He didn't tell me all of the risks and now I'm left with nerve damage. He also didn't leave me a script for pain meds for after surgery. read more

Dr. Moses Fallas surgically repaired a double hernia for me recently. After he diagnosed my problem, the office staff was very helpful and professional in scheduling surgery and preparing me. Dr. Fallas was very kind and caring when he visited me Pre op...after surgery and follow up visit. I would highly recommend him. read more

I am really not quite sure what to say. I was referred to Dr Fallas by a friend who swears by him after having had a life threatening medical emergency where Dr Fallas was his surgeon. I went for a second opinion on a surgical procedure that another doctor says I MUST have. I waited 1 1/2 hours to be seen. I was the last patient left in the waiting room at that point. Dr Fallas asked me why i was there. He had no memory of operating on my friend or even his name. I brought all my tests including colonoscopy, CT Scan, medication and a ton of questions. I quickly explained my "condition" and symptoms and the surgery my other doctor wants to do. He listened as I talked as fast as I could...he did not want to see any of the paperwork I brought - but I sort of forced my colonoscopy photos on him which he glanced at but refused to see the CT Scan report and told me just "don't have the surgery". Well, that's good to hear but also very confusing without any reference to my tests and no conversation as to why he was saying that. His asst/nurse, Renee, is super nice. Even the patients in the waiting room were nice. He wasn't "nice or not nice". Just fast. I couldn't have been with him even 5 minutes. So I have no clue as to how to "rate" this except for being the most bizarre doctor appointment I've ever had. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Last year, Dr. Fallas identified a definite left and possible right side inguinal hernia. He recommended a laparoscopic repair, which we scheduled for shortly after our initial meeting. Unfortunately, during our first surgery, Dr. Fallas entrapped my lateral femoral cutaneous nerve with a spike intended to affix a hernia mesh to surrounding tissue. In layman's terms, this means the doctor put a spike into one of the larger nerves in the body, which runs from the spine/hip to the knee. I have had much pain in my life, none of which remotely compares to the type of pain that came from this nerve damage. It truly caused some of the most painful moments of my life. Upon returning home and experiencing excruciating and abnormal pain, I tried to reach Dr. Fallas. He did not respond until the next day, noting that his staff had copied the wrong phone number down and that he had indeed tried to reach me. Based on how the rest of this story unfolds (as I will describe below), I believe this explanation is likely false and that he was careless. He did not wait for me to describe my pain and instead made assumptions about shoulder pain--something that might be expected of someone with poor bedside manner. After explaining I had pain in my leg, he became alarmed and asked that I come in to see him. I could not walk, I could not stand, I could not sleep, and I could not move without excruciating pain. Going to the doctor's office caused blinding pain. After seeing me, the doctor suggested that I try to "bust [the tack] loose" by walking around over the next few days. I think the doctor would have struggled to come up with a worse recommendation. I walked around in extreme pain for the ensuing days. Shortly after it became apparent that the "bust it loose" strategy was--shockingly--not effective, the doctor recommended a second surgery, which was prescribed to occur less than a week after the first surgery. I felt terrified that I would have to go under for the second time in a week. I went back under the knife for a second laporoscopic repair. I was nervous, as any person going under anesthesia would be, of the risks of the surgery and did not particularly enjoy signing all of the paperwork again that reminded me that I may have teeth knocked out from the tubes or that "unexpected complications" may arise. The operative report states that he clearly identified the tack attached to my nerve, which he removed and gave to me--a nice memento of this process which I have kept hidden away in a drawer. What should have been one surgery with a ~3 day recovery turned into an over week-long process. To add insult to injury, I still had to pay out of pocket to pay for medical costs related to the second surgery (e.g., anesthesiology)--something that is odd and offensive given the doctor made huge mistakes and caused the harm in the first place, and was only conducting the second surgery to fix his error. After a few weeks passed, I felt and saw another hernia on the right side. Dr. Fallas stated in the operating report that my right side was "pristine" but, given that another doctor diagnosed the right side hernia just a short time after the first surgery, and that I was not engaged in any risky behavior in the interim, I find his statement hard to believe. I went in for a third surgery with a much, much better surgeon. I had less pain from the process, I recovered more quickly, I only had one surgery and the scars are MUCH better. I feel like Dr. Fallas just chopped me up with wanton abandon. This summer, I reached out to Dr. Fallas to ask for my money back: the amounts which I view as rightfully owed to me given the mistakes he made and the subsequent surgeries required. After promising to get back to me following an initial phone call after he had a chance to "look at [my] chart", he disappeared and refused to engage further. Weeks went by without a response. He did not respond to any correspondence until his insurance company started responding weeks later on his behalf. He then directed the insurance company not to settle or make any reimbursement to me, which forces me now to choose between putting this horrible episode behind me or pursuing costly and lengthy litigation. He handled my requests without compassion, grace, or any sense of fairness or responsibility, and his lack of responsiveness speaks volumes about his deficiency in professionalism. Unfortunately, I will have to live with the damage Dr. Fallas has caused. I will bear the scars for the rest of my life, and Dr. Fallas will keep his profit and the money he took from me and from my insurance company for performing my surgeries. There is no reason you should have to live with his horrible mistakes. He will not treat you fairly, he will not help you. I recommend that you retain another surgeon--perhaps a first year medical student would do a better job. read more

I definitely agree that Dr. Fallas is a gifted surgeon. However, I believe deep in my heart that he dropped the ball when it came to my beloved, 78 year old mother. Dr. Fallas was my mother's surgeon for a number of years. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2002 and she lived another 13 years following this diagnosis -- a spiritual and medical miracle. In September 2014 my mother went to Dr. Fallas complaining of severe stomach pain. He sent her home and told her he would schedule her to be admitted to the hospital to get a colostomy bag soon. My mother went to the ER two days later, in even more severe pain; she was admitted to Cedars Sinai. Two days later, BEFORE she got a colostomy bag her colon ruptured. Before she went to the ER I talked to her about why Dr. Fallas hadn't sent her straight to the hospital, from his office, to get the colostomy bag. She said she didn't know, he only told her to go to the ER if the pain got worse, which it did. Because my mother's colon ruptured, she was unable to start any form of cancer treatment; her pancreatic cancer had returned. My mother was in ICU at Cedars for five weeks. She had a number of surgeries, performed by Dr. Fallas. I am convinced that if he had sent her from his office to the hospital, my mother would be alive today. The cancer had returned and her oncologist had given her nine months to live without treatment, and two years to live with treatment, but because her colon ruptured and she was very sick and weak, she was unable to receive any form of cancer treatment. After five weeks at Cedars, my mother was moved to Kindred Hospital where she died a slow, painful death seven months later. On April 7th, my mother died from pancreatic cancer. Her grandkids, family, and friends, could have had more time to love with her IF Dr. Fallas had not sent her home from his office that day in September. If her colon had not ruptured, she would have been able to start cancer treatment in September. Lastly, for months, my mother would cry and ask me to call Dr. Fallas, she just wanted to talk to him. He never returned my calls or came to visit her while she was in Kindred Hospital. In retrospect, when my mother first started to complain about her stomach, I should have taken her to City of Hope to get a second opinion on the best plan of action for her condition. Writing this post is therapeutic for me as I grieve the loss of my precious mother knowing that my mother did not have to die that way. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better experience or outcome. Dr. Fallas and the surgical team at Cedars took excellent care of me. I'm 7 days post laparoscopic splenectomy today and 100% mobile, pain-free, and thrilled that I've been able to entirely avoid pain medication in the process. My wounds are healing beautifully. It's hard to believe a week ago i was on the table. Highly recommend! read more

I was referred to Dr. Fallas for a gallbladder removal. Though this is not my first surgery, anytime you're having an organ removed, it will make you nervous. Turns out there was nothing to worry about. The time of my referral to the day of procedure was only a short week and a half. His office even helped find someone to do a pre-operative checkup on short notice. When the day of the procedure arrived, I was taken care of by a team of 8 professionals. The procedure went so well that I did not even have to take a single pain pill after the fact. This speaks volumes to the high level of skill Dr. Fallas possesses. He really is a miracle worker of sorts. I couldn't be happier to have such a skilled doctor for this procedure. read more

Dr. Moses Fallas is exceptional !!! He is professional, has a great bedside manner, he is HIGHLY RESPECTED among his colleagues, and with that he comes highly referred . He is a perfectionist!!!

I highly recommend Dr Moses Fallas and he will always be held with the highest respect and admiration !!! Thank you Dr. Fallas for your respect, expertise, and for taking such great care of me during surgery !!! read more

As far as I am concerned Dr. Fallas walks on water. !!! He is personable, warm, and assured me everything would be fine. I can't say enough wonderful things about him. He is an amazing surgeon. I am forever grateful to this man, as is my family!! Lisa A. South Pasadena read more

You could not be in better hands than those of Dr Fallas. He is an excellent surgeon with a compassionate bedside manner. He's honest and speaks in layperson's terms so I understood everything to do with my umbilical hernia procedure. read more

I'm writing this the evening of my laparoscopic gall bladder removal. Seriously. Less than 12 hours ago, i was out cold and on the table. For anyone facing gall bladder surgery, THIS IS THE ]DOCTOR. I now know why his parents named him Moses. He leads scared, worried, surgery-freaked patients out of the wilderness and into what i can only classify as a super simple recovery. ok. maybe i'm just lucky or have a high pain threshold. but i'm convinced it's because he is incredibly talented, careful, and, well, basically the best there could be at this procedure. Shout out (also) to The Center for Surgery in Beverly Hills. Smart, experienced, caring staff. I felt very calm and safe with them. Just a great facility. read more

Dr. Moses Fallas was recommended to me by my gastroenterologist when I described having what he said sounded like a hernia. Scheduled an appointment to see Dr. Fallas in mid-December, 2017. Came in, filled out a ton of forms, gave them my insurance card. Dr. Fallas was nice enough, had me pull down my pants, took a look, and said, "Yup, you have a hernia." He then spent several minutes talking about the two surgical options, laparoscopic and open and recommended that I schedule a laparoscopic surgery. As I was going to be traveling, he said that I could wait to schedule it for the beginning of the year. When I went to the front desk to check out, they gave me a referral for a "pre-op" doctor and said I need to see HIM first, and THEN schedule the surgery. I asked about the fees and they said that the surgery and everything was covered by my insurance. I called that doctor the beginning of January 2018 and was told that normally, they see patients AFTER they've scheduled the surgery, and that I should call Dr. Fallas back and schedule the surgery first. I've had a bad cold the past couple of weeks so I've been delaying the process. A few days ago - towards the end of January (and still with a cold), I got an invoice from Dr. Fallas, saying that the visit was $350 and my insurance paid $224 and that I owe them $126. I just called their business office and was told that no, they're NOT in network. I asked why the front desk had told me that everything was covered. She said that they usually just check to see if your insurance is active. I have no idea why they LIED to me. I could have easily been faced with thousands of dollars in medical bills they originally told me were covered. I have no idea whether Dr. Fallas is a good surgeon or not, but certainly, his office staff are terrible. For that reason, I would avoid him like the plague. read more

Dr. Fallas was recommended to us by the best radiologist in L.A., Dr. Leslie Botnick. Dr. Fallas explained the pros and cons of my husbands sports hernia surgery, and the haste to get it done sooner rather than later, to avoid the danger of an emergency surgery. He explained the possible discomfort my husband may have, but 2 hours after the procedure at La Peer medical facility in Beverly Hills, Alan and I enjoyed a lovely brunch at Nate N Al's . Alan took 1 Tylenol that night, and another Tylenol the night after, and that was it for pain and discomfort. He never took or needed the recommended opiate pain killers, thank heavens. With Dr. Fallas's approval, and after a 3 week recuperation, Alan is playing tennis again this week. We give him the highest rating. Thank you Dr. Fallas! read more

Please do not go to this doctor for surgery. He made a mistake during my son's operation. After four days of abnormal pain, my son had to go back under another general for Fallas to repair his mistake, which is casually admitted to us. We were upset but understanding. Then, several months later my son needed to see another surgery for the same problem! Even the second time it had not been properly done. Upon asking Dr Fallas to cover the cost of his mistake he refused and called his insurance company to get involved. Let me reiterate my son was only asking for his costs! Stay away. The third surgery was successfully performed at UCLA. read more

Dr. Fallas is a great surgeon. He removed my gallbladder and it was so simple. I trust him and he is also very nice.

What an amazing person. Had to have my gallbladder removed right before new years, and Dr. Fallas really came through. Not only did he do an amazing job, he truly wanted to make sure I started the new year without pain! Thank you read more

I was very pleased with my experience with Dr. Moses Fallas. When I found my tumor I had a million questions. Dr. Fallas was a comforting presence from my first consultation to the end of my surgery and care. He was very knowledgeable patient and kind. His bedside manner was professional and extraordinary (he takes his time) It was nice to be put at ease when you're so nervous. His office staff(especially Diane) made me feel that I was in great hands. They were very friendly, organized and responsive to my needs. I am very grateful to Dr. Fallas and his staff. But, I am especially grateful that I have minimal scarring (tiny) and didn't have ANY pain after my surgery. Amazing! read more

While he seems to be a knowledgeable surgeon, I had the same billing issues as the other reviewer and felt like the only thing he was interested in was money. He also has fairly bad bedside manner and refuses to see patients before surgery!!! If you have a choice, don't use him. read more

I'm biased. Dr. Fallas saved my life. I was brought into the Cedars-Sinai Emergency Room with a perforated colon. Dr. Fallas was called in to perform emergency surgery. He performed brilliantly. I would have died otherwise. His follow-up was careful and competent. Good guy. His colleagues call him "Mo." read more

I have been an extremely satisfied and feel fortunate to be patient of Dr. Moses J. Fallas for many years. I first came to the office of Moses J. Fallas, M.D., F.A.C.S., for an inguinal hernia repair, on my left side, as well as an umbilical cord hernia repair at the same time. I was scheduled for a surgical procedure by former office manager, Marci Matt. My procedure went fine with absolutely no complications, including very limited discomfort for several days, following the operation. Dr. Fallas did provide me with a prescription for some pain medication, which, to my surprise, I did not need to use during my recovery. Fast forward to the year 2017, I developed another inguinal hernia, this time on my right side, which was incredibly annoying and somewhat painful. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Fallas at his new offices which are located at 9001 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, Ca, 90211. I was greeted by two new front office people, since, Marci Matt had retired. My call was taken by Renee Harris, at the front desk, who efficiently and courteously expedited a few preliminary questions before introducing me to Dyana Yates, the senior office administrator. The entire process, including filling out a very short health-history questionnaire, took only a few minutes. Dyana Yates and Renee Harris handled everything connected to my visit and future surgical procedure with Dr. Fallas with great care, compassion and aplomb. During my visit with Dr. Fallas, he fully confirmed, within about 10-seconds, that I did, in fact, have another hernia, this time, on the right-side, compared to the former left-side. There are not enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe how my case was so expeditiously handled by these two highly efficient and caring office personnel, Renee and Dyana. I was scheduled for a 'pre-op' which consisted of a simple EKG, a chest X-Ray, and some basic lab work. Following that, my family physician and internist, Dr. Lester Holstein, M.D., wrote a clearance letter providing the 'OK' for my surgery with Dr. Moses Fallas, M.D. All of that took less than 45-minutes in total. Once my 'pre-op' information was completed and faxed over to the offices of Dr. Fallas, Dyana and Renee informed me of their receipt of all my test results, followed by offering me a schedule of available dates and times for my surgical procedure. I really appreciated how Dyana and Renee worked so diligently, on my behalf, until they received the final results of all my medical tests, as well as clearance from family physician and internist, Dr. Lester Holstein, M.D., which cleared me for the surgical procedure to take place at La Peer Surgical Center. I arrived at La Peer Health Systems Surgical Center in Beverly Hills at 12:30 PM on January 30, 2017. I was greeted by a very lovely woman by the name of Michelle. Michelle walked me through answering a few short questions, which I signed and initialed, followed by my being taken directly to a private room to change from my street clothes to a robe. I was greeted by a lovely RN by the name of 'Yulia', who tucked me in to a very comfortable bed, with warm blankets. Next, I was visited by the anesthesiologist, Dr. Jereme Thom, M.D., who introduced himself and asked some questions, since, I have OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea). I asked Dr. Thom is he would like to hook up my CPAP machine before my surgery, which I brought with me in case it may be needed; he said that would not be necessary. I should say, that this is the very first time in my life that I have gone through a medical procedure, which requires anesthesia, in which I did not wake up with a sore-throat or any other complications. I also woke up feeling 100% alert and incredibly strong, and, of course, happy that my surgery was over. I should interject that, the next day following my surgical procedure, Yulia contacted me by phone to make certain I was doing well. I really appreciated this kind gesture. Moses Fallas, M.D. is an amazingly talented 'world-class' surgeon. Dr. Fallas selected La Peer Surgical Center for my procedure, which turned out to be another blessing; this is the finest, most caring surgical center I have ever experienced and, is located on Wilshire Boulevard, in Beverly Hills, CA, just across the street from the offices of Dr. Fallas. The next day, I received a follow up call from Yulia, my R.N. at La Peer Surgery Center, following my procedure as well as a "Get Well" card from Cindy, at La Peer. This really made me feel good to know that I have been in such good caring and concerned hands. Compared to having surgery in a Hospital setting, this was far more convenient and, in my opinion, a great deal more personal. Dr. Fallas is a 10-Star surgeon with a 10-Star staff. The most stars available on this YELP review are 5-Stars, which I most graciously give. Compared to suffering with the discomfort of my hernia, this entire procedure was a walk in the park. read more

He has Horrible Bedside manner that borders on rude and condescending. I ended up with a hernia after he operated on me for Gallbladder surgery. When I went back for the follow up to have the stitches removed he wasn't there and his staff member said.. He had to go to Cedars for a Gall Bladder surgery. "You know you have to jump on those right away." Also while I was on a gurney in brutal pain at Cedars Emergency they made me cough up $500.00 bucks even though I had insurance by saying "the surgeon" would feel "more comfortable" if I put up $500 as good faith. I was in so much pain I just gave them my card. To this day I have no idea where that money went and neither does my insurance company. I could go on but suffice it to say my friend also got stuck with him for emergency surgery at Cedars and to this day still hates the guy. He's a condescending jerk in my opinion and not that great of a surgeon since I had to have another surgery to repair what he screwed up. I would avoid him like the ten plagues. read more

While the actual "bedside manner" and professionalism of Dr. Fallas himself is beyond reproach, the billing practices and "sign-your-credit away" mentality of the office staff and manager leave much to be desired, taking what might be a 5 star review down to 2 stars. My experience came about after I was referred by my doctor to this office for examination of a cut on my thumb, suffered while I prepared a pre-New Year's dinner with some recently purchased EverPro knives (side note: great knives, VERY sharp!) My girlfriend had helped me bandage up the wound pretty tightly, but we felt I should make sure no stitches were required, since a call to the local emergency room confirmed that such a visit would cost between $300-$600. Seeing as the holiday season had left us with some big AMEX bills coming due in January, we decided the more prudent course would be to visit my normal in-network doctor and decide what needed to happen -- we knew he would be fair in his billing, from past experience. Since he was not quite sure if the injury required stitches, we were referred on to an associate of his, the office of Dr. Fallas. As we sat in the waiting room filling out paperwork, my concern was that if I did indeed need stitches, this whole exercise could end up costing as much as the low end of the emergency room visit estimate, a few hundred bucks -- what a bummer that would be, but if I needed stitches, then so be it. Finally we saw that doctor and the good news was that based on his quick and efficient examination of my thumb, a sterioscopic bandage or three over the next few days should be all my thumb needs and with that, I was much relieved and on my way! Not only did my thumb not need stitches (which promised to be painful), but I didn't need to incurr that increased cost for a "surgical procedure"...yeah! So then imagine my surprise when a couple of months later (the office may be slow, but they pack a whammy when they finally get there!) I receive a bill for a "repair" S/N/A/G/T 2.5 cm in the amount of $325 -- wow, there goes all my holiday money from family for a band-aid! No amount of rational conversation with the office manager and billing department could sway them from this figure, which certainly surprised my personal doctor who had referred me -- apparently, that is the going rate at Dr. Fallas' office for putting a bandaid on someone's finger and telling them that they do NOT need stitches! Wow, what the hell do they charge if they actually DO something!? So in wrapping up my review, I would be VERY dilligent in questioning ahead of time what you are going to be paying at this doctor's office (they apparently don't take a lot of insurance since my Anthem BlueCross didn't count for the doctor's visit). Oh, quick update, I was informed that they misbilled me initially and it is actually only $275 for the visit and bandaid...what a relief! read more

Dr. Fallas is truly amazing at his work.....I received incredible counsel and care before, during and after my procedure which in this case was a Sigmoidectomy (removal of about 8" of my colon due to diverticulitis). Not only was he responsive and supportive but he made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I felt all of my questions and concerns were always addressed and taken into consideration throughout the process. I would not trust another surgeon to poke around in my abdomen. I cannot recommend Dr. Fallas enough. read more

Dr. Moses "Mo" Fallas is the BEST of the BEST!!! He is a modern day Michelangelo with a scalpel. I went to see Dr. Fallas with an umbilical omentum hernia I'd had for more than 10 years. I felt a lot of shame, as it was the size of tennis ball. Dr. Fallas was extremely kind and sensitive as he answered my many questions. He took the time to explain in detail what the procedure entailed, and the recovery that followed. I soon learned that a close friend had Dr. Fallas perform surgery on him years earlier, and raved about him. Dr. Fallas made me feel relaxed and at ease in his office, and his caring bedside manor at Cedars reassured me I was in highly capable hands. His amazing office staff was very helpful in scheduling my procedure, and providing the important follow up information I needed. My recovery from the surgery has been phenomenal. I have already recommended Dr. Fallas to a close friend needing a procedure, and will continue to do so in the future. I consider myself very particular in selecting a doctor, especially a surgeon. I feel truly fortunate to have had Dr. Fallas take care of me. read more

Dr. Fallas saved my life twice. He showed me a great kindness, which I will not go into here, but to say I am forever grateful to him. He is a wonderful doctor and a lovely and humble person. read more

Dr. Fallas is the BEST surgeon in the world! This month marks two years since my emergency surgery for an obstruction of my small bowel at Cedars. I know that Dr. Fallas saved my life and will always be grateful to him. I was suddenly so ill and talking to him right before I was taken into surgery, there was something comforting and safe about this amazing surgeon who told me that I will be okay. He was right. I'm back to being healthy and feel very lucky. I saw him for few months post-op. He always took the time to explain and answer all my 100 questions no matter how busy he was. I first met him five years before in the emergency room at Cedars for another issue. I ended up not having surgery at that time and he followed up to make sure that I was okay. Dr. Fallas is not only a great surgeon but most importantly, he is a good, caring person who takes pride in his profession. I always recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you, Dr. Fallas. read more
