Dr. Shouhed saved my life. He's a talented surgeon with a great bedside manner, and he continues to help me with any questions I have months after my surgery. His team is also very friendly and responsive. I'm very glad I went with him for my MALS surgery. He was able to help me get back to my life.

Dr. Shouhed and his team are amazing. He gave me my life back by fixing my MALS and SMAS. Thank you so much! This experience has given me hope for having a normal life.

Dr Shouhed from the beginning made my wife and myself feel comfortable. He explained a bit of his background and experiences he has had with MALS and used a 3D visual to explain what is going on. He then proceeded to explain that he only does a certain amount of surgeries due to the planning and preparation that goes into the surgery. We feel comfortable in the hands of Dr. Shouhed.

I'm beyond grateful for having Dr. Shouhed as my bariatric surgeon. From his knowledge, skills, honesty, bedside manner and actually caring for his patients, I couldn't have asked for a better Doctor. Going on almost 5 years from surgery and have not had one issue and I'm the healthiest I've ever been. He does not rush you and listens to every word you say. I went in for my first visit filled with anxiety being nervous now knowing what to expect and left with so much confidence and reassurance that I was in good hands. I can not thank him enough for giving me a second chance at life and I'm forever thankful!

"I feel so lucky I found Dr. Shouhed! After 21 years of my first gastric bypass and almost 3 years of having my son, some weight regain was the cause of some orthopedic problems. As an added value he had trained with the best experts in this area. A total win, decided to follow the steps to check every single item of the checklist, in the process he discovered I also had an hiatal hernia (which he also took care of) and voilà! I had my surgery this past December 21st. 2022, already at 12 pounds lost post surgery. Couldn’t be more thankful to his amazing team, Sylvia and Daisy in his office and Cecilia in the post op team! So great at following up and making sure everything was on track! Dr. Shouhed, thank you again for helping me change my life a second time and for going the extra-mile with me! Forever thankful!"

Dr. Shouhed is the best Dr for weight loss surgery. I'm a patient who had the gastric sleeve surgery. I was so nervous but in all . It was so wonderful. I have lost 27 lbs in one month since surgery. Dr shouted is so kind and patient. He is the best for any weight loss procedure in my opinion. I have no regrets choosing him. He was referred by my primary Dr.. I'm happy patient.

Dr. Shouhed is the best Surgeon with the best bedside manner’s. He cares above and beyond! My sleeve was without complications! If you are looking for a world class dr with amazing abilities and has a heart for the people he serves you need to choose him! He even texted me a few times after my surgery just to make sure I was feeling ok. Never have I ever felt better about my decision to go with him and to have my sleeve! The office staff are great too!

I can't say enough about how amazing Dr. Shouhed is! He truly cares about his patients and helping them feel better. After struggling with Mals and SMaS for two years Dr. Danny Shouhed did everything to help me get a diagnosis and the surgery I need.

Dr. Shouhed has been one of the most caring doctors I have met. I’m so incredibly thankful to have found him and for everything he has done for me. He has stuck with me from my first consult to my MALS surgery to my surgery for SMAS 5 months later and have no doubt he will continue to always be there for me and never give up. I truly believe that he has saved my life twice. Everyone in his office is also amazing and so helpful. It really feels like being a part of a family.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Shouhed's office! I was referred for Gallbladder surgery and it was a seamless and easy process from start to finish. Dr. Shouhed is attentive, kind, and very detailed in his responses and made sure I got all my questions (even if I didn't think of them) answered in depth. He also did a fantastic job with the surgery and I'm excited for the minimal scars and getting back to normal life! I also want to shoutout Silvia who I worked with the most for coordination and booking the surgery. Silvia was patient and very kind to me as I was a bit anxious during the process. She was super proactive and I never felt like I was waiting on a response/follow up from her. Dr. Shouhed has a great, well run office and I would definitely recommend them if you are in need of GI surgery or consultation.

Dr. Shouhed removed my gallbladder one week ago. He was extremely thoughtful throughout the entire process and explained everything really well. The surgery was a success, and I already feel 100% back to normal 8 days after surgery. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Shouhed recently removed my gallbladder and he and his team were wonderful throughout the entire process. He was calming through the process, kind, and the entire staff working with him was so incredibly nice and helpful. From Cecilia, the NP, who was available before and after the surgery to answer any questions I had with so much knowledge and kindness, to Christian who coordinated the surgery for me, everyone was WONDERFUL throughout.

Dr. Shouhed is an excellent surgeon. I had him for a hiatal hernia surgery a year and a half ago, and when I needed another emergency surgery recently for my gallbladder, I came back to him specifically because I trust him. Great bedside manner, nice guy, and talented.

"Dr. Shouhed from the first visit assured me that he could help me, and would help me get to the bottom of my issues. He was able to relieve my pain associated with MALS. Dr. Shouhed has been able to refer me to specialists that can address my other issues and is overseeing to the end. I cannot say enough about Dr. Shouhed and his care of his patients. He is up on everything MALS and more."

Dr. Shouhed is absolutely wonderful. Best experience I have ever had with a physician. His staff is amazing as well. I love that he is doing all that he can to educate and train others in the treatment of MALS (median arcuate ligament syndrome, as well as other vascular compressions). I had MALS release surgery by him on October 21, 2022. My recovery is going very well. He listens and truly cares for the well-being of his patients, and is an excellent robotic surgeon.

Dr. Shouhed is truly the best doctor I’ve worked with in years. I suffered with debilitating pain, vomiting, and breathlessness for 12 years. After seeing 72 doctors over the years, he was finally the one who was able to diagnose me with MALS. I just had surgery with him on 2/7/23 and am already feeling so much better. Dr. Shouhed’s bedside manner and care is unmatched. I will be forever grateful that I found him.

Dr. Shouhed is awesome! He is very knowledgeable about what he does, which includes treating some rare and complicated illnesses such as MALS and SMAS. He is extremely thorough, thoughtful, caring, and precise in his diagnosis, treatment plan, surgery, and follow-up care. He is a very experienced robotic surgeon which makes for smaller incisions and faster recovery times. In addition, his entire office staff is friendly, responsive, and helpful. Thank you Dr. Shouhed!!

Great experience from the start to finish in a very serious condition. Dr. Shouhed was available for any questions and his entire team made me feel like family. Flew from Indiana to California just to see him and have him do my surgery. They helped me through the entire process and even went to battle with my insurance company for me. Very knowledgeable and professional!!

Kathryn J.

Dr. Shouhed was the only name given to me as a referral by my top-of-his-field retiring surgeon. I looked no further. His technical expertise, knowledge, compassion and dedication to excellence gave me the confidence and courage to tackle one of my most difficult challenges. His approach is to fully commit himself to his life’s work as a healer….and it shows. I’m forever grateful to be a recipient of his care.

Hi, my name is Hugh and i received robotic surgery in April of this year (2021). Dr. Shouhed was my surgeon and spoke to my wife and myself explaining in detail the instructions I was to follow prior to my surgery. He is an expert in robotic surgery and we both felt very reassured because of his experience.

Dr. Shouhed did a minimally invasive laparoscopic gallbladder removal on me about a year ago and the results were fantastic ! I didn't have any complications and it truly was minimally invasive ! I walked out with a few Band-Aids closures and I was in the hospital just for two days for observation.

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Dr. Shouhed and his team. When I found out I needed surgery I wanted to have it as quickly as possible. Dr. Shouhed's team appreciated this urgency and did their best to accommodate me. Dr. Shouhed was incredibly knowledgeable and sensitive about my condition and concerns.

I can't say enough good things about Dr Shouhed and his team. From initial consult to post op visit (both video due to Covid but fantastic) I had a superb experience with him. He understood my health concerns and goals and did an excellent job counseling me through my surgical plan.

Daniel is an amazing doctor and truly cares for you. He goes above and beyond to make sure you’re doing before surgery and after surgery. I had hernia surgery in October and Daniel did an AMAZING job! I highly recommend him!

Aaron T.

Dr Shouhed is simply incredible. He has always been accessible even during odd hours. Random texts from him checking in on me is something I wasn't accustomed to. He is caring and skilled as a surgeon. I have never felt rushed during an appointment as he provides a personal welcoming atmosphere. His staff is first rate.

Steve C.
Verified Patient

Like every other person who left comments, I can't say enough about this man. He had to repair damage left by a different surgeon two years ago. and the operation took seven hours. If I had listened to the first surgeon who told me that nothing was wrong with me, there is a good chance that I might have died from the complications. The entire health care team is the best.
