Although this doctor is very busy and it was a bit difficult to schedule an appointment with him, it obviously proves how popular he is. My father needed a very complicated operation and several other doctors I saw turned him down. Dr. Gheissari, however, took upon the task of performing the surgery and it went great. It has been a year and a half and my father is great. The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful and patient to help me and my dad. The only thing particularly negative about this experience was the inconvenience of driving an hour to see him, as he only has one office that is in down town LA. Otherwise, great.
