We met Dr. Mehran in Oct. of 2018. He was going to perform surgery on our daughter who had 3 synovial sarcoma tumors. He was so reassuring and positive! He really put us at ease. The surgery went well! Excellent surgeon!He's very humble and gives credit to his team! We were in such good hands! Just a positive all around!!

My wife (the patient) and I are completely satisfied with Dr. Mehran. I have never experienced such calming demeanor. On top of that, his diagnosis was 100% accurate!

Spring of 2008, I discovered I had cancer of the esophagus. Dr. Mehran was assigned to my case. I had no problems during or after recover and couldn't be happier with Dr. Mehran or the staff of MD Anderson.

Dr. Mehran is an amazing surgeon. He performed a minimally invasive surgery for a right upper lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection last week. I barely have any pain at my main incision and none at the others. All I have been taking since released from hospital is Gabapentin and Tylenol. The next day of surgery I was walking, breezing comfortably and three days later I was able to accomplish alone most of my basic daily activities. I can not say enough how skilled he is, but he is also compassionate, humble, and he also speaks French!!! I totally trust him and you are lucky if he is your surgeon!
