Shahram Salimitari M.D.

This is my first post for this website but I have a question. I am considering having the surgery done by Dr. Salimitari and his staff but I was wondering if someone whose insurance did not cover it could tell me approximately how much it costs and if they got it financed how much a month they have to pay? My fiancee has agreed to this because he knows that being overweight has always made me feel like I don't belong and we both have great jobs but I do not want to put us too far in debt if I can help it. So yeah if someone could let me know. If you don't want to respond here you can email me at cllgsweetpea@yahoo.com

Thank you everyone! Your comments on the surgeon have really encouraged me!

Hello everybody! I just had my consultation with Dr. Salimitari. I liked him and was scheduled for an endoscopy for the 24th I too was wondering what to expect I currently weight 298 exactly what they said and am hoping that at least within the next year or 2 to get back down to my pre baby weight of 135 we'll see I'm determined and was wondering if anyone else in the West Valley area wants to get together for support or for exercise?? I live right by the West Hills hospital...

I live in Valencia, and yes...I had issues with his office, but he is the BEST, he is an awesome doctor, will give you his personal number if you have any issues, and gives great care. His office is not a reflection of his skill, and I have seen them get a bit better actually now that some have been replaced.

About the Endoscopy...

It was really easy. The wait time was the worst. The procedure only took about 10 minutes but I had to wait about an hour and a half until they were ready for me. It didn't hurt, I was just groggy afterwards. I wish all procedures were that easy.

I had Dr. Salimitari, he is a good doctor, my surgery had no complications, and he was very good at hearing my concerns and getting me to the place I needed to be when I began having fills. I highly recommend him.

They do their surgery at one of their facilities. The Beverly Hills site has an OR. I don't know how many of their sites have an OR but I saw the evacuation map at their Palmdale site and it shows 2 OR rooms.

I had mine in Beverly Hills, and I am pretty sure that is the only place they the lapband surgeries.
