Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
I was a patient of WLS back in November of 2008. Dr. Katkhouda took great care of me, even helping out since he wasn’t exactly a physician in my network. He saved my life! Initial visit: 350lbs, WLS day: 320lbs. Current weight: 165! God is amazing! Thank you Dr. K!!

Dr. Katkhouda, was my only option in Southern
California if not the whole world that was
Competent in an adrenalectomy on my right
Side.My surgery was complex an in actuality
No surgeon would accept me to conduct the
Procedure. The reason being you have to be
Very precise and superiorly confident in your
Hands as a surgeon to undertake my procedure.
Let me say all is irrelevant when Dr. Katkhouda is in the room,God truly blessed his eyes and his
hands.He has an Aura! I am alive!

Dr. Katkhouda is a great Dr and knows his craft. I was sent to him by my Dr who is at a DIFFERENT institution because my Dr felt that Dr Katkhouda would be the best in LA for my condition. That says a whole lot to me that my PCP would send me (and another patient) to USC and Dr Katkhouda. Just a warning Dr Katkhouda is very direct but not mean so if you are easily offended you need to prepare your self. His staff is all great.

I met Dr. katkhouda the other day for my consult !
He was extremely nice and very down to earth. He made me feel comfortable and I had a scene of trust immediately with him. I can't wait to get surgery and I love this doctor. ! He is the best ! And he has done over 5k cases !!!!!! He is the professor and an expert in laperscopic surgery. Feel lucky if you get to have him be your surgeon !!!!!!

The worst of the worst there is as far as doctors go! Arrogant, unprofessional, more concerned about what you wear to the office than what you came for. I have been seriously ill in need of a surgery and this bad excuse for a doctor comes in and tells me that my case is difficult so his analogy would be that he is a pilot and he is heading towards a storm, and he prefers to land and run home than try to navigate the storm, what? Said he would call me in a few days, no call up till now!

Dr. Katkhouda is an amazing doctor/surgeon! I would trust him with any surgical procedure I needed done. His office is extremely clean and has a great staff. I have recommended him to 3 friends, all of which are now patients of his.
