Scorpion11 99 Posted August 4, 2014 Hi CaliGirl, I had my sleeve last year 11/14/13 wiry Dr Quicili in Burbank, CA. He's known to be the best of the best. Not only for WLS but as a surgeon for many other medical needs. #1 for WLS in So. Cal. Google him, I'm in Glendale and all doctors I asked about Dr Quicili knew of him and his history and all recommended him. These where doctors I was seeing for injuries, orthopedics and primary doctors, to Obgyn doctors. He performs his surgeries in your chose of hospital either St Joseph's in Burbank, which is across the street from his office building or at Cedar Sinai in Beverly Hills. I had mine at St Joseph's as it was conveinant for me and my primary doctor suggested St Joe's vs. Cedar's, she told me St Joe's was known to be much cleaner and to review infection reports to compare. Very true fact. St Joe's was awesome from the days before I had to pre-register to moment I walked in super nervous day of surgery to when I was taken into surgery room in icu until I was ready to be moved up to my recovery room, to day I left the nurse walked me our to my car(hubby driving). I felt very well taken care of and attended too. The best part was the floor I was recovering on, I knew other patients from the wls group and seeing them at Dr Q office. Felt like a family and that particular floor is designated to all wls patients and others such as hernia, gall bladder etc... So the nurses understand and attend to your needs with appropriate experience and lots of LTC and truly understand your liquid diet needs and intakes. I loved how much they knew and were able to not only comfort my pain but my emotional nerds as well. It felt like a family all around experience. Highly recommend Dr Quicili. One thing I will share is he's a super busy doctor and sometimes follow-up appt took longer than expected but well worth it. He's staff and nurses are all very kind and caring. Sleeve Surgery is the best things I could of done. Tough at first with new life style changes, but it does get better and easier month by month. No regrets!! I'd be more than glad to answer any questions. Feel free to private message me. Best wishes and good luck!! : ) 1 UrCaliGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking at a Dr with Old Del Mar Surgical or these Drs in Beverly Hills. But not knowing anything about them I'm scared. Referrals always work best for me❤️ I'm going to look him up right now. How many surgeries has he done and has he had any leaks or deaths? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
