Doctor was excellent, basically saved me and my unborn child’s life by doing my appendix surgery at me being 37 weeks and not feeling comfortable doing it, as he had never done surgery on somebody that far along.

I saw Dr. Ahari on consultation from Lark T. (Dr Tannous) for internal hemorrhoids. I met Dr. Ahari for the first time and was impressed by his manners and knowledge. Following an examination he was of the same conclusion as Dr. Tannous. He said that surgery would not be necessary but explained a band procedure that they are now using on internal hemorrhoids; showing me diagrams and explaining in detail the procedure and said he could do it today if I desired. I had not been prepared for this today and was taking a rather lengthy trip within a couple of days. He indicated I could call him this when I was ready. Following a colonoscopy earlier I had been prescribed the use of Metamucil 1 TBS twice daily. I had had only one bleeding episode since taking that. He directed me to continue the use of the Metamucil and if I continued having the heavy bleeding episodes to just call him and he would get those taken care of. Doctor and nurses were all exceptional in their care and concern. I will be calling to schedule this procedure sometime after May 8th, as I continue to have spotting and one additional heavy bleeding episode. - T.B
I had a f/u with Dr. Ahari after being admitted to the hospital, they found a small umbilical hernia on the ct scan. I was greeted with smiling faces by the clerks. I did not have to wait long for the nurse to take me back to the room.. she was very nice. It was not long after that that Dr. Ahari arrived. Dr. Ahari was nice and professional. He took the time to answer my questions, showed me my ct scan and explained the findings. - D.S
Very helpful diagnosis - A.J

Good. Dr was very thorough with detailed explanation. - A.S
Install port for use in blood draws and inserting chemotherapy. Everything went okay as far as I know. I was basically out of it for the procedure. Anesthesiologist, assistant surgeon and Dr.Ahari plus support staff were all very professional and efficient. Dr. Ahari is known for not much of a bedside manner, but as far as I am concerned he is top notch. He isn't there to babysit the faint hearted. He is there to make sure that invasive surgeries under his control and responsibility are the right ones done perfectly. His concern for me as a patient was genuine and he involved me in the decision as to choice of direction to the extent I understood the situation. He seemed pleased to have a patient who "got it" immediately and did not question his recommendation based on fear or ignorance. I would recommend him to anyone who requested assurance of his abilities or knowledge of his craft. - N.K
I had a scope down the throat as a follow up to an angiogram. The scope showed no problems. I had a follow-up appt. with Dr. Ahari on 1-23-17. - S.S

Very impressed with Dr. Ahari. Was quick, yet thorough. He was able to diagnose and treat my problem right away. I was so relieved that someone finally listened and understood what I was going through! The surgery was quick, almost painless and I felt very comfortable. Not to mention he had two great nurses assisting throughout the procedure. It was nice to have the same nurse at all of my visits, she was very personable as well! Would definitely recommend Dr. Ahari to friends and family. - C.M
My experience was a great one in a scary situation. Dr. Ahari always made sure I knew what was going on and allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted answered. My nurses were all excellent and cared for me greatly. - M.R

Doctor was excellent, basically saved me and my unborn child’s life by doing my appendix surgery at me being 37 weeks and not feeling comfortable doing it, as he had never done surgery on somebody that far along.

I had an incisional hernia repaired. Everything went well and results are good. My only negative comment is in regards to my staples and the removal. I believe I had 13 staples and upon removal steri-strips were placed over the staple site. When the strips fell off about 5 days later I discovered that one of the staples was not removed. I removed the staple myself,which in hindsightI should not have done. All is fine now. - R.H
Every thing was fine except controling the pain that was more in my right upper leg then the incision. As of now, Apr 15, very little pain and not using pain meds. - E.S

I had a f/u with Dr. Ahari after being admitted to the hospital, they found a small umbilical hernia on the ct scan. I was greeted with smiling faces by the clerks. I did not have to wait long for the nurse to take me back to the room.. she was very nice. It was not long after that that Dr. Ahari arrived. Dr. Ahari was nice and professional. He took the time to answer my questions, showed me my ct scan and explained the findings. - D.S

Install port for use in blood draws and inserting chemotherapy. Everything went okay as far as I know. I was basically out of it for the procedure. Anesthesiologist, assistant surgeon and Dr.Ahari plus support staff were all very professional and efficient. Dr. Ahari is known for not much of a bedside manner, but as far as I am concerned he is top notch. He isn't there to babysit the faint hearted. He is there to make sure that invasive surgeries under his control and responsibility are the right ones done perfectly. His concern for me as a patient was genuine and he involved me in the decision as to choice of direction to the extent I understood the situation. He seemed pleased to have a patient who "got it" immediately and did not question his recommendation based on fear or ignorance. I would recommend him to anyone who requested assurance of his abilities or knowledge of his craft. - N.K
Very happy with appointment. - R.F

Dr Ahari performed a colon resection on this date. However, I had been seeing him since January 2016 for my colon cancer. He was always well prepared for each meeting and for the surgery. He explained options and the procedures we had decided upon. He prepared me for all of the possible outcomes. He visited me more than once each day in the hospital and always informed me of my condition (lab values, etc.) and exactly his plans to manage my care. While I was initially assigned Dr Ahari through the cancer team, he would be my first choice if I were to need any other surgeries in the future. - C.Z
