John Yadegar Bariatric Surgeon MD

Best, kindest doctor around! Very caring, brought a little abnormality internally to our attention after surgery and had it researched, CT'd along with my upper GI the morning after surgery and went the extra mile to talk to the radiologist about it too. Thankfully, all is well but it was a little scary there for a few hours.

Dr. Y really, really cares. Talked to a patient in his waiting room who'd not had WLS but had cancer surgery done by him a few years ago. This man is very, very gifted and the most caring doctor I've ever had. Bedside manner outstanding, informative to family in timely manner, office staff follow his lead in manner, too. All-in-all, the most caring doctor and office staff I've ever dealt with.

I could "sing-his-praises" for a long time but I know you get my drift:-)

Best wishes!

Dr Yadegar and his office are a wonderful, caring and involved establishment. They have many patients but they always know your name and treat you as friend who is coming to visit. They are professional and comfortable at the same time.
Dr Yadegar is a wonderful doctor. He greets you with a handshake at first but as he gets to know you he gives you a hug (I personally like this due it makes me more relaxed). He is gentle and attentive. In the hospital he is your advocate and ensures you receive nothing but the best care and attention. He visits often and is full of information, if you forgot to ask a question he will probably cover it in the next breathe. I would recommend Dr Yadegar and his office to anyone who is thinking of exploring weightloss surgery or going for weightloss surgery.
They are a professional, knowledgeable, and caring group of people!
Dr Yadegar and his office made an uneasy situation comfortable and a overall positive experience and continue to do so.

Dr Yadegar is absolutely incredible. He put me at ease immediately. He is a qualified compassionate physician. He genuinely cares about the health of his patients. He takes the time to talk to you and understand your fears and expectations. One sweet thing he did for me was during my exam when he had to lower the waist of my pants to look at my tummy, he must have sensed my embarrassment, well he patted me on the hand and said "Its okay, don't be shy". Just a nice human touch. I would completely recommend him to anyone. He is the best. His staff are incredible, friendly and professional. I honestly do not have one negative comment regarding Dr. Yadegar or his staff.

I went to Dr. Yadegar because my insurance company sent me. I have not regretted it at all, have been very happy with my care from both Dr.Y and his staff. He showed me my options and explained the differences to me. I choose the VSG and it's gone very well. They make sure that you are very informed and educated before you have surgery. My husband is going to have RNY surgery in a few months with Dr. Yadegar, the more I see him, the more I like him. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Y is great. Excellent bedside manner. He is a real person who is sympathetic to the plight of the big person. I love him so far.

Dr. Yadegar is the best doctor and he cares so much for his patients. He wants me to succeed and be in optimal health. I am his patient for life!

Dr. Yadegar is the most caring surgeon, I'm not just saying that. He is always there to answer any question you may have. I felt very safe in this hands. His office is right next to Lancaster Commuity Hospital. He is very informative, making sure you understand everything about the process. When I was in the hospital he gave me his personal pager number so I could reach him at any time. I would rate him a 10. His surgical competence and bedside manner is what makes him stand out to other surgeons. From the first moment you meet him you can tell he cares about what he does and cares about you the patient.

I first met Dr. Yadegar at the Kaiser Orientation in Panorama City. I found him to be very knowledgable and his presentation as good as the UCLA presentation I saw 2 weeks before. I decided that I would like to have him do my WLS if he could get me in sooner than UCLA.rnrnHis creditials and success rate are outstanding. He has a charming bedside manner but is very matter of fact when it comes to the possible risks. You will understand EVERYTHING before you go under the knife and if you don't- you obviously weren't paying attention.rnrnHis office staff is accessable, kind and extremely friendly. When it comes to the ins and outs of the insurance game- let me bluntly say that they know their shit.rnrnHis program- BEFORE AND AFTERCARE is Headed by Liz Roark and is by far one of the best and most detailed follow up programs available. They REALLY want you to succeed and provide all the tools to do so!rnrnOverall, I would rate the Surgeon and his office a 10 out of 10. I feel confident that I will succeed and that I the best support with the Doctor and his team behind me.
