I have been overweight all my life, time and again I’d diet, exercise. I’d lose weight but gained it back and more. At age 45 and 350 pounds, health issues caught up. I developed high blood pressure, high cholesterol, an enlarged heart and sleep apnea. I was told my kidneys are failing. I met Dr Mehran about sleeve gastric surgery. I had to make milestone changes. I was overwhelmed. A written plan was developed by my nutritionist Alona, who was amazing. After six months, I lost 90lbs strictly by eating right. Dr Mehran set up the surgery. But, I lost more weight than expected and my health improved. I was taken off my meds. I wanted to end the cycle of losing and gaining weight. After the surgery, I continued my diet and walked 12-15 miles per week. I lost 150 pounds in a year! I no longer take prescription medicines nor sleep with a CPAP. Dr Mehran prolonged my life for the better. I can’t thank him enough. I’m living a life I couldn’t before!

My appointment was right on time [A rarity compared to other MDs I've seen in the past. His staff is polite and knowledgeable. Dr. Mehran took the time to go over all options, but suggested that I first speak with his Nutrissonist to see how weight I could shed without surgery.

I have never ever had such an amazing experience with a Dr.
Dr. Mehran and his staff are so amazing. They made sure that I was highly informed and knew exactly what to expect. From the nutritionist that he recommended it was education, having informed expectations and getting into the right mindset. He made sure that I was comfortable with the surgery that we chose together. He checks on you through the process and will communicate through text too that makes it easier. He worked with me and my PCP to get done what I needed before surgery. I just had my 2 week check up and everything is great. The only thing I wish I did differently was have this done sooner. I have never felt in such good hands as with Dr. Mehran. Thank you for giving me the tool to-change my my life.

Best experience ever. All appointments leading up to surgery were amazing. 2 days in hospital and he was there visiting and amazing bedside manner. Every question I had I will text and within just a few I have it answered. 8 months out 110 pounds down. Call him. Stop waiting.

Dr Mehran is just a great guy along with Yvonne at his office. They run an organized office, very professional and personable. I'm glad I decided to go with him for my surgery. I'm only 7 days past VSG surgery but I've been seeing him for 10 months in total. He is one of those people who doesn't need to make anything complicated. Easy going and experienced. You can't go wrong.

My experience with University Bariatrics was 100% excellent. The doctor answered all of my questions and made me feel great about the decision I was making. I saw the doctor the morning of my surgery and he also came to visit me that night as well. The next two days in the hospital he checked up on me to see how I was doing before discharging me. Yvonne in the office has been very helpful. The questions that she does not have the answers too, she double checked with the doctor. I really enjoyed my experience. My only regret is that I wish I did this sooner!

Was extremely impressed with Dr Mehran hitting all marks with expectations. Timeline exceeded my wildest expectations. Surgery went well and I was feeling great immediately. Recovery was a breeze and my life is so much better now. I would highly recommend, that if someone is considering this surgury do not put it off any longer, and let Dr Mehran perform this for you.

I've had two consultations with Dr. Mehran regarding a sleeve. I appreciate his professionalism. He takes pause to listen to your questions and the time to ensure the answers are presented in a way easily understood. I was informed thoroughly and felt no pressure to proceed further than consultation.

My initial visit to Dr Mehran this year was one of comfort, as I was referred to him in confidence by my trusted primary Internist.
I found Dr Mehran to be professional, personable & thorough with clear communication and direction.
I can now safely move forward with my PreOp and planned surgery.
Thank you Dr Mehran!

Had my gallbladder removed earlier this week by Dr. Mehran – couldn’t be happier with the easy procedure! In and out the same day, and I appreciated that he wanted to see me again before I was discharged. I felt very well taken care of and all of the nurses sang his praises. Highly recommend! Also being able to text the office was super convenient!

Unfortunately, I see a great many doctors because of several medical issues. I saw Dr Mehran one time and can honestly say I have never been more impressed with any doctor. It was very apparent Dr Mehran is smart and on top of his profession. He is friendly and personable, but perhaps the most impressive characteristic was Dr Mehran's ability to listen and address the specific issues which I raised. He is one doctor I wouldn't mind seeing continuously.

Dr. Mehran was my choice for gastric by-pass surgery. I chose him first, because I felt comfortable with him! He is straight forward, kind, funny, efficient, reachable whenever needed, and most importantly a wonderful surgeon! He answered all my questions and never rushed me. He requires that you be responsible for your process and that is a blessing. My surgery was a success, I had no pain after, and was taking NO pain meds after day 2. Dr. Mehran is there for you before, during and after!

I love Dr. Merhan! His sense of humor put me at ease. He’s very professional and is willing to answer any question and I asked some odd ones. He did a great job with my surgery and I had no problems at all. I felt very well cared for.

There is so much to say! I will try to I keep it short. Dr. Mehran has an excellent bedside manner and that is not easy to come by with surgeons. He and his staff are responsive, nice, helpful, and accommodating. The staff I spoke with at St. John’s said he is great. He is great! Post op my nurse friend told me she would have surgery with him just based on the short interaction she had with him!!! He had plenty to be frustrated with during my initial post op period and he never let on a smidge that he may have been irritated! I trust him with my life. I will be having a second surgery with him coming up soon. I’m very pleased that I have a choice and that I chose him.
Thank you Dr. Mehran and Yvonne!
