Dr. Shouhed is an internationally renowned, board-certified minimally invasive surgeon with specialized expertise in robotic bariatric, gastrointestinal, and complex general surgery.

Whether you're exploring weight loss surgery, struggling with chronic acid reflux, or seeking answers for a complex GI condition, Dr. Shouhed will honor your time and travel from out of state or internationally to get you the answers and resolve your GI condition.
Our clinic is located at 436 N. Bedford Drive, Suite 311, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, just minutes from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and within convenient driving distance of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR).
Before traveling, our team can help gather medical records, imaging studies, operative reports, and other relevant information so Dr. Shouhed can review your case. In many situations, an initial consultation may be completed virtually, allowing you to discuss your condition, treatment options, and next steps before making travel arrangements.
If surgery is recommended, we will help coordinate the timing of your visit, preoperative testing, and follow-up care to minimize unnecessary trips whenever possible.
Every patient's treatment plan is different, but our goal is always to make the process efficient without compromising the quality of care.
Many patients begin with a virtual consultation, followed by an in-person evaluation when necessary. Depending on the procedure, you may need to arrive several days before surgery for testing and preparation. After surgery, Dr. Shouhed will determine how long you should remain in the Los Angeles area before returning home.
Whenever appropriate, postoperative appointments can be conducted through telemedicine, and our office can coordinate with your local physicians to ensure continuity of care. We remain available throughout your recovery to answer questions, monitor your progress, and provide guidance as you heal.
Recovery timelines vary based on the procedure performed, your overall health, and the complexity of your condition. Before surgery, you will receive detailed instructions regarding travel, lodging, activity restrictions, follow-up appointments, and when it is safe to return home.
Our team will help you understand exactly what to expect so you can plan confidently and focus on your recovery. From your first consultation through postoperative follow-up, we strive to provide a seamless experience for patients who have chosen to travel to Beverly Hills for their care.
