South San Francisco Medical Center Kaiser Hospital
I recommend Dr. Robert , Li because he is very Cadre and seridad for making the final desicion that allowed feel very safe , I did 10 days ago with my surgery and I feel better every day
Dr Khayat has moved to South San Francisco Kaiser and that is where he did my surgery. He was very clear on his explanation of the surgery and why he want to do a sleeve on me rather then R&Y. He also showed concern about my being in a wheel chair cause of needing a new knee and how my limited mobility was a risk factor for blood clots. He listened to my concerns and my previous experiences in surgery with attention and caring.
I felt very safe with him emotionally and physically. His staff is very good.
My only criticism is with the per-surgery group appointments. I wish they separated those meetings by the surgery you were having. The person talking did not do a clear job of talking about which instructions in the manual were for R&Y patients and which instructions were for sleeve patients.
I had no complications from the surgery and compared to other surgeries I have had, this was a much better experience. Pain was manageble and over in about 5 days.
Dr. Le is awesome! I can't say enough good things about him. He is absolutely the best-- his technique as a surgeon is very advanced. I had NO problems and after a week I didn't even feel like I had surgery... I was as good as new... He explains everything to the best of his ability, he's prompt and checked on me 2x a day while I was in the hospital. The staff as SSF Kaiser is also remarkable from Lorna, Giselle and the nurses. You won't go wrong going through the bariatrics program. But be prepared to lose the weight prior to surgery because it's a MUST!

Dr David Le was superb! Not only is he a great Surgeon, but he was an excellent guide in motivating me to lose the weight to meet his target for approval! Cannot thank him enough! He and his entire team has been just plain fabulous.

I think Dr. Li is an outstanding surgeon. I say this because my incisions healed well and I appreciate a very frank and serious doctor when it comes to my own health. During my visits with him he is quite serious during the appointment. Was happy to see him smile during my 2 week post-op appointment as I dropped a considerable amount my first two weeks.
HE IS A GREAT DOCTOR HE MADE ME FEEL SO COMFORTABLE CALLED MY MOM AS SOON AS HE WAS DONE , HES SO NICE AN EFFICIENT AT WHAT HE DOES , HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING, MY WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT THEY MADE ME FEEL SO COMFORTABLE AT KAISER WEST LA .
