Hormuz Irani Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Dr. Irani is one of the best surgeon's I've had. I would highly recommend him. I answered every question that I had with honesty and compassion. I'm 4 months post-op, and my impression of Dr. Irani and his staff remains the same. They are very friendly and helpful. It's always a pleasant experience to go into their office. I have referred several people considering this surgery in Bakersfield, to Dr. Irani's office and his surgery team. Dr. Irani strongly emphasizes after surgery care. His patients are strongly encouraged to attend all support group meetings which take place several times a month. The days and hours are very convenient. In addition, his patients are seen by the bariactrics office once a month for weigh ins. Dr. Irani was forthcoming with all information regarding this surgery, including the benefits and risks of surgery. Overall, I would have to say that through my experience with Dr. Irani, his surgery team, and his office staff, I would highly recommend him for the weight loss surgery. Dr. Irani is professional, surgical competent, and has an awesome bedside manner. To be honest, I have heard some negative comments regarding Dr. Irani's office staff, and then again I've heard positive comments from others. The above comments are of my personal experience and my peronal impressions only.

Dr. Irani was great. He was very nice and answered any questions that I had. He was as nice the day of my surgery. I was freaking out until he came in and talked to me and the jitters went away. Dr. Irani is very big on after care. Especially with gastric bypass. You have to take care of yourself or something bad will happen. They give me a booklet that I should follow that tells you what to eat and what not to. And when you should start trying new things. Dr. Irani told me the good and the bad of the surgery. He told me that i could die from the surgery but that it is very minimal.He was great I would recomend him to anyone. I liked both. All of the dr's that I talked to told me how great he was. After my surgery he came in and talked to me and told me everything was fine. That was a big weight off my shoulders.

My first impression of Dr Irani was one of being comfortable...great bedside manner...easy to talk to. Overtime my impression just gets better..his office staff are all very friendly...just as interested in the patients well being as the doctor.... his main concern is the patient and will go to bat for his patients.
Dr. Irani emphasize aftercare strongly and has a structured aftercare program that is top notch....He and his staff educated me on the pros and cons of surgery as well the risk factors...but assured me through their confidence that all would be fine.
I would rate Dr. Irani 10 out of 10 for both his surgical competence and bedside manner....Ü

Dr. Irani ans his staff are great. So is the Mercy Hospital Bariatric Coordinator, Susan Martinez. I had all my tests & insurance approval in less than 8 weeks. I highly recommend using Mercy Hospital Bariatrics and Dr. Irani over the other practices in Bakersfield.

Dr Irani is The Best!! The staff is very friendly and make you feel comfortable. Deffinatly do your research when choosing a Doctor. Aftercare is very important to my Dr. I have been explained all risks in a extremely detailed manner. Very helpful!! =)

Well I started inquiring about the surgery in late may. I went to my physician over at Perferred Family Care Physicians and Dr. Kothary sent me to Terri the office manager and she in turn had me call Susan Martinez over at Mercy Hospital. How was I to guess that that one call could change my life. From the first time I talked to Suzzie she made me feel so at ease and comfortable. She kept reminding me that she would see me through this and has done a great job so far. I went to the class at mercy with her and Dr Irani and enjoyed meeting them both. They make a great team. Suzie sent me to the psych, nutritionist, and at last to Dr. Irani. Everyone was excellent in serving me. Once all these appointments were done Suzie sent to the insurance for pre authorization. In about five days she called me at work to tell me the great news that my insurance had approved me! Awh!!! what a shock. She told me to make some more appts. to get some tests done so I did. Dr. Irani has been wonderful and his assistant Bella The same. from the first time I met him I knew he was gonna me a wonderful Doctor and I cant wait to tell you how good surgery went. Well Until I can get back online.... Peace- nick.

Dr. Irani is the most professional and gifted surgeon I know. Dr. Irani went over
the risks of bariatric surgery and answered all my questions. I did not feel rushed
or hurried by Dr. Irani on my Pre-Op visit. When I had post operative depression Dr.
Irani listened to me and cared about my problem. He has a good bedside manner along
with great surgical skills. I would rate Dr. Irani a 10 out of 10.

Mercy Hospital has a wonderful Bariatric Coordinator named Susan Martinez. Susan
provides any needed support and really cares about each of her bariatric patients.
She had the surgery herself so can really relate to all we're going through. Being a
nurse I was really watching to see how my care would be and I have nothing but kudos
for the entire experience. From Susan's visit right before surgery to encourage and
give a bariatric bear to support your post-op deep breathing and coughing, clear on
through to the discharge I would rate Mercy a 10 out of 10. After the surgery Mercy
is helping to keep us sucessful by giving us a support group run by Susan Martinez
and a licensed psychologist that specializes in weight issues. Mercy's Bariatric
Program is excellent!!

I am so excited, more so by the day. My surgery is now two weeks away. I have known my surgeon for many years from working with him in the hospital. I have the utmost respect for him. He is a wonderful surgeon. His staff is also great, they are very helpful andhave a wealth of knowledge. They work along with the bariatric center at the hospital which strongly emphasizes pre and post aftercare. All the risks were explained fully by Dr. Irani. I would rate him a A+!!!

my first impression was great he was very nice and had a lot of helpful information
The office staff was wonderful- Karen was an absolute joy she helped me in ever way possible and wanted to make me comfortable and excited about the new me.
Future patients should know that they are great and are always welcome to help in ever way.
