I met my wife in 2020. About 3or4 months into the relationship, I disclosed that I had H.S. also, I had to wear feminine pads to catch the drainage. She was more than understanding. She began to research the disease. She found me a dermatologist to go to. I received steroid injections directly into the nodules, which at this point had covered both of my buttocks and was creating sinus tracts down my inner thighs. Over the course of a year, the steroid injections became more frequent, and I also tried many, many antibiotics I. Conjuction with the steroid injections. I knew I needed to have surgery to correct my stage 3-4 H.S. but because of my previous difficulty finding a doctor to operate, I wouldn't look. My wife found Dr Tihernia,She searched ,"Best Hydradnitis Surgeon." His name appeared. She called as I was unwilling. To my surprise he,"Dr Tihernia answered the phone.He was busy at the time but agreed to text. I began texting him my situation. He asked for pictures. I couldn't take them myself, so my wife did. I texted him the pictures and he said he could help me ,no problem. I could feel his confidence through the phone, which gave me a sense of relief. I started planning to go see him, but my insurance would not approve the surgery.I spent the next year under the treatment of my dermatologist, allowing all of the treatment options to fail. The final thing I took from the dermatologist was Humira, I took it for 6 months with moderate help. It didn't help stop the disease progression or sinus tracks, but it did help with the pain. After taking it for 6 months, I developed psoriasis. I then stopped the Humira and had to start treatment for Psoriasis. Mean while I had failed all of the treatment options,I also tried light therapy, as well. Insurance is the biggest nightmare, actually getting a person on the phone. I was denied by Blue Cross Blue Shiield when with a previous job. I changed jobs and got Humana. After about 14-16hours on the phone, different days total . Dr Tihernia, who was on the phone with me for many of those hours. Got an approval for a Letter of Agreement to allow him to get paid for the surgery. I also needed a letter of agreement for the facility because my insurance is not in network with the facility. I found that out late and didn't get it until the day before surgery. I live in Texas and had already flown to California before getting that letter. Yes ,I was a nervous mess. Lol The actual surgery, Dr T. Prepared me well for what to expect. I have such large areas that my surgery is going to be a 4-part surgery. 2 parts have been performed during this stay. I will return to California in 3-5 months for the next 2 parts. My surgery was performed in 2 stages. 1: Opening consisted of removing the diseased tissue, preping the skin/tissue for use to perform the reconstruction of the affected areas. 2. Closing: Taking the prepped skin/tissue and reconstructing the affected areas and closing them. When I say closing, I mean you are left without wound care for that particular area. Recovery: I am in the hospital currently: Opening I was pa in-free ,I have the use of a strong pain medicine at my disposal. However, I have not had to use it at all. I can say the same for closing , I have only used a combo med tylenol/advil that I brought with me that can be bought over the counter at any CVS,Grocery store,Walgreens any place like that.i am going home with very minimal wound care and pain free. I actually got out of bed day 1 for each surgery and walked . THE SURGERY WAS MUCH EASIER THAN I EXPECTED!!! I read more

I could write a really good book about Dr. Tahernia. Dr. Tahernia received lots of calls and emails from me. He answered and responded promptly to each one. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I have stage 3 Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Dr. Tahernia explained to me thoroughly the surgery procedure and he was there for me every step of the way. His bedside manner is impeccable. I never met a Dr. So understanding, caring, professional, efficient, and approachable. If you or anyone you know suffers with Hidradenitis Suppurativa please reach out to Dr. T he is here for us.

First met with Dr. Tahernia to help treat my HS, made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process he was able to remove the HS in my inner thigh and has not come back since. Have also not felt any pain in the area. He also did my my breast augmentation just last week. I can say that he exceeded my expectations. I went from a small B to full D. They look so natural and the scarring is minimal. Would definitely recommend Dr. Tahernia for any HS AND COSMETIC/CONSTRUCTIVE surgery you would like to get done. Thank you DR. T. read more

Dr. T is the best doctor with the best results when it comes to HS. I've been going to different doctors for over 20 years about my skin condition, and finally I've met such an extraordinary named Dr. Taherni, who has for once been able to relieve me of all my HS problems and pains. I highly recommend Dr. Tahernia, most of his patients are from out of town, so definitely take advantage of this opportunity if your local, in California and you're tired of dealing with HS. read more

Amir is a great doctor and human being. Very skilled and efficient. He did a great job on a friend of mine. One of the top surgeons in the country. read more

When Iiving with HS, it is important to find a doctor who is knowledgeable about the disease, has significant experience treating it, is trustworthy, is compassionate, and knows how to remove the disease and repair the area in the best way possible.  Dr. Tahernia is all of these things. From my first appointment, he took the time out (something a lot of physicians don't these days) to discuss who i am; the progression of the disease, his experience, and potential ways to go about surgery. He established himself as someone I felt comfortable with, trusted to handle surgery, and was very responsive to my numerous emails and questions before and after surgery. He kept me fully informed every step of the way, which helped me prepare for the upcoming surgery and what to expect afterward. Surgery went well and i am pleased with how things were put back together after the disease was cut out. This disease has been debilitating, but I am relieved that I have found a great surgeon and human being to help along this journey. read more

Dr Tahernia is simply amazing. I was attacked by robbers and they threw me high in the air and as a result I landed on the ground had a broken arm in three places and a major laceration on my chin . I was taken to the hospital emergency room. There was blood gushing out of my chin and I was extremely lucky to have known Dr. Amir Tahernia. Dr. Tahernia came to my rescue in the middle of all the chaos and his demeanor totally calmed me down. His bedside manner with his patients is second to none . You find yourself having an immense amount of respect for this gentleman. He's so caring for his patients makes you feel like you're the most important person in the world. The level of his knowledge and medical care is in the highest level . Dr. Tahernia is also double board certified which makes him to be in the highest level of a cosmetic surgeon. Overall I can't brag about Dr. Tahernia enough. He stitched up my chin within minutes and nine month later I can't even see a visible mark from the big laceration that Dr. Tahernia stitched for me. It's like he made it disappear. Dr. Tahernia is definitely one of the most talented doctors out there and I really felt like I was touched by an angel in his hands. Thanks a million Dr. Amir Tahernia. You're a miracle worker. read more

"Breast Augmentation by Silicone Implants" Having heard plenty of difficult experiences & regretful thoughts after breast augmentation surgeries from people around, I always feared to do this surgery... When I met Dr. Tahernia, the first thing I admired about him was his broad knowledge & his willingness to patiently & realistically go over my related fears & ambiguities. His composure & self-esteem helped me feel a great deal of assurance & certainty. I flied overseas just to have my surgery done by him! My post-surgical pain was surprisingly negligible by taking the lowest dose of my prescribed medications. My recovery was so fast, I didn't even feel the need to take more than 1/4 of my painkillers! Overall, my post-surgery experience was shockingly easy & nothing as troublesome as others had told me. As a dentist, I know the level of pain & discomfort a patient goes through after a surgery is directly dictated by the surgeon's precision in creating the incisions, gentle handling of tissues & excellent management of the surgical field. I realized my doctor has mastered all these skills! Thank you Dr. Tahernia for taking such good care of me, for turning my fear to excitement & my dream to reality, with results as natural & gorgeous & as close to my expectations as it could possibly be! read more

Dr. Tahernia is the best work I have had done on my face EVER! I have been getting my lips and cheeks done for the last 5 years...no one has given me the golden ratio like Amir. I feel the prettiest I have ever felt in my life. read more

Dr Tahernia is one of the best surgeons out there ! i have HS and he just knows how to welcome me into his office every single time

I got an awake BBL and lipo 360 with back bra roll with Dr Tahernia in November and I want to shout it from the rooftops how amazing he is! I'm an RN and I've seen some crazy things with some of my patients undergoing plastic surgery... and as someone who has never had a surgery, I was terrified. I searched high and low to find a surgeon with precision and expertise that could give me the results I wanted in a safe manner. I found that in Dr. Tahernia and more! Dr. Tahernia has amazing bedside manner... he is always smiling, so kind and easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He took the time to really talk me through everything, educate me regarding the surgery and he and his staff took such good care of me. It was so different for me to be in the patient role and I appreciated that they were all so caring and supportive. I went into surgery the most out of shape I had been in my life. Coming out of the pandemic, a tired nurse and mama feeling hopeless about her body. I'm now 8 weeks post op and I couldn't be happier with my results. Dr Tahernia really listened to my concerns regarding my body and the shape I wanted to achieve, he exceeded my expectations!!!! I have an hourglass body, a tiny waist with a popping booty that looks amazing and natural. I've been wearing all the outfits I was never confident enough to wear. I get endless compliments from friends and coworkers and I feel so good in my own skin. He gave me my self esteem back and I couldn't be more thankful for him! Trust me when I say that I will be coming back to him for all of my cosmetic needs... he is so amazing! Thank you again Dr. Tahernia read more

Where do I even start complementing Dr. Tahernia. First of all I met Dr. Tahernia along time ago when I worked along side him when he was doing wound care rounds. I was a nurse that follows him during that time in a SubAcute. Dr. Tahernia would always have a BIG smile on his face and a demeanor that you hope every doctor would have. He was very pleasant . I liked him and the rest of his group (Dr. Bardia Anvar and Henry Okonkwo PA-C). They are the TRIO of amazing doctors!! This time I've consulted Dr. Tahernia for a different reason (breast augmentation) something that I have been wanting for almost 10 years. After having 3 wonderful kids, my breast did not have that fullness like it used to have. I was not impressed every time I see the twins in the mirror. Despite doing CrossFit 6 days a week sometimes 2 times a day for almost 2 years, my breast did not look any better. So I decided to go for consultation with Dr. Tahernia, I've seen his work through his Facebook page and Instagram and I was impressed to say the least I messaged him on FB messenger and how could you not?? Dr. Tahernia replied! I was nervous. He gave me his office number and I booked my appointment for consultation. I went to my appointment with my sister as I was having an anxiety , I needed the support! I've never had any surgery in my life and now I'm here in his office. When I got inside he gave me a very warm welcome and as always he had the biggest smile .Dr. Tahernia just took away some of my anxiety at that point, got to the examining room and I changed with just the paper gown covering my upper body waiting to be examined. He went in the examining room and we just started catching up from all the years we didn't have contact, it was great! I was more at ease knowing that he is so personable then and now. He was the-same as I remember him. Dr. Tahernia explained all the details of breast augmentation and he was very detailed and such a perfectionist that I understood everything. He answered all the questions my sister and I had that day. I left that day with the confidence that he is the right surgeon for me, no question about it. I booked my appointment within days for the BIG DAY! I was overwhelmed with happiness and excitement .I didn't need to go see another plastic surgeon, Dr. Tahernia was the one! The day of surgery was something I was more impressed with him. He took the time to introduced himself and talked with my boyfriend who flew in for the surgery. That day I was not nervous or having an anxiety at all. He talked to me before I went into the OR. The staff at the surgery center were all kind too. My boyfriend was well informed of what was happening to me every step of the way. Surgery went so well. Post surgery I wasn't worried, Dr. Tahernia gave me his personal cell# prior to me having the surgery. He said to text or call if I have any concern about anything. Who would do that? I know my review is long but Dr. Tahernia is outstanding and he needs to be recognize for his job well done. I know I'm not the only one who's so happy about the way he treats his patients. Thanks for taking the time to read and I can guarantee you that you can have the same experience when you meet him. I'm happy with my results and Dr. Tahernia gave me my confidence back. Now I look in the mirror and my twins looks healthy as ever! read more

I never write yelp reviews, however feel compelled to write one for Dr. Tahernia, as I am so grateful to him. Our 2 year old toddler son recently fell down and had a deep tear in his lower lip. Understandably, we were very distraught and so fearful of taking our son to the emergency room. My husband is a general surgeon and was really worried about the permanent damage the tear could cause and therefore was insistent on finding a plastic surgeon. We were so fortunate in being able to contact Dr. Tahernia who showed up at Cedars and did the sutures for our son. Not only was his work impeccable, the whole experience was a pleasant one for our son. He goes through the story daily of how he fell and was in pain, then went to the Dr. who helped feel all better. We are truly grateful to Dr. Tahernia. read more

From the girls, We are very happy without results, you've boosted our self confidence since the car accident. We want to thank Dr. Tahernia and all the staff for being so kind and making us feel so comfortable. You guys are the best! And our surgeries came out very well. Thanks so much. read more

Amir Tahernia, MD, FACS - After the car accident after Dr. Tahernia's surgery. - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

After a lot of research on the internet. I found Dr Amir Tahernia who is highly experienced in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He explains exactly what is wrong and how he is going to treat the problem. I sincerely trust him, his medical knowledge and his judgment. Dr. Tahernia is very responsive and helpful. He makes himself available via phone - very convenient. The entire staff is friendly and makes you feel at ease. ********** 10 stars for his work and commitment read more

I can't recommend Dr Tahernia highly enough. I was a patient of Dr Tahernia's for a breast augmentation. He was always focused on delivering me the results I wanted, and always made me feel comfortable and confident in his care. The result was amazing, he delivered exactly what i was after (natural). During and after operation he was by my side, and checking in with me in the hours and days following. Don't waste your time with anyone else! read more

Dr. Tahernia is not just a plastic surgeon, he is a kind hearted, caring and down to earth HERO. My husband had rectal cancer that required major surgery, radiation and chemotherapy and we found Dr. Tahernia by recommendation of his colorectal surgeon. Before we found him, we had consultations with over 7 plastic surgeons all over the state of California and not a single one of them put us at ease about their ability to do such a big surgery and instill TRUST in us about their interest in his OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLNESS. When you are dealing with something as scary as a cancer diagnosis can be, you need to find a team of people that are on your side, share your values and gives you a sense of hope. And that is what we found when we brought Dr. Tahernia along with us on this crazy journey. From the moment I picked up the phone to schedule an appointment the dynamic changed completely compared to the other plastic surgeons we had seen previously. His staff is unparalleled (Gina is a tremendous asset to the office), she extended the same courteous, kind, warm and caring treatment that the Dr. has from the very beginning of my husbands road to recovery. My husband never felt like a cancer patient, he was treated like a human being and was blown away by the Dr. Tahernia's warmth, positivity, optimism and uncompromised care. I was incredibly moved by his genuine kindness and good nature. He remained actively involved in my husbands recovery, never once was unavailable for a post-op appointment and we never felt like he was just trying to get rid of us to move on to the next case. He is the best plastic surgeon around because he has a 360 degree approach to his profession. You cannot teach the innate qualities that Dr. Tahernia possesses and that is why we will be forever GRATEFUL for him. Don't hesitate because he is the man for the job! read more

I have HS, and though I was only diagnosed 10 years ago it has been a disease that I have struggled with since puberty. Over the years, I have had multiple surgeries to remove troublesome cysts - some by plastic surgeons and some not - most unsatisfactory with either significant scarring or cyst recurrence in the area of removal. Needing surgery again and now living in LA, I decided to turn to google to see if there were any plastic surgeons with HS experience and through that I found Dr. Tahernia. I've never found a physician this way and so I was a little skeptical to make that first call. After meeting with another plastic surgeon whose techniques would seemingly leave me with the recurring issues I'd experienced in the past, I decided to make the call and get a second opinion and I am certainly glad I did. As many people with HS know, it is a disease that often goes undiagnosed and under-researched and finding physicians with experience treating or removing HS can be quite the task. I wish I had found him sooner. At our first meeting, Dr. Tahernia examined the area of issue and walked me through the whole process of removal. He took the time to answer ALL of my questions (and I had a two page document of questions), and more importantly than anything - I didn't walk away from our first meeting feeling shame or needing to put up the defenses to prevent feeling shame for this disease. For the first time, I felt like I finally found a surgeon that could help me beyond just excision. Following the surgery, he continued to answer my questions and went over and above to maintain communication during the recovery process. I am now 4-weeks post op and finally cleared to return to normal activities and I could not be happier. The scar will heal with time and compared to my other scarring, it is beautiful. I would recommend Dr. Tahernia to anyone struggling with HS, and for those living in other states needing care - if I had known about him when I was on the east coast, I would have traveled to receive this level of care and experience. It is by far unparalleled in my experience. read more

Working with Dr. Tahernia was the best experience I could have hoped for. I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a rare chronic skin disease, which was impacting my quality of life. I found Dr. Tahernia after researching specialists who treat this disease. I reached out to Dr. Tahernia for a consult and was instantly put at ease. He is very experienced with performing this type of surgery and he took time to answer all of my questions. I was also happy with how quickly I was able to make an appointment for the consult and the surgery. The procedure went perfectly and he went above and beyond in follow-up. He even gave me his cell phone number to text pictures and questions throughout my recovery. I appreciated that Dr. Tahernia makes an effort to reduce scarring and explains at length what to do for after care and exactly what to expect throughout the recovery process. His office staff was also very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Tahernia. read more

Dr. Tahernia is literally a life saver!!! His reconstructive surgery he performed on me has healed up so wonderful! I had been dealing with Hidradenitis (HS) for almost 10 years now! January 11th, 2018 my life changed completely. In a good way! I thank Dr. Tahernia so much for always being honest and thorough with me during the whole process of this major surgery that took place under BOTH of my armpits. I am now HS free! I have new armpits! Yay!! And man, I have never felt so good!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! read more

Very kind and professional when I called to set up an appointment. I have heard a lot about Dr. Tahernia and can't wait to see him

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Amir Tahernia. My 6 yr old son had a horrible accident a few weeks ago and it was any mother's worst nightmare. On my way to the hospital, I called Dr. Tahernia and he went straight to the hospital to meet us there. He made sure we had the best team, that we were calm, and most importantly that my son was taken care of. I will never forget that moment when Amir was taking my son into surgery. I was so scared to leave him, but Amir had him so engaged in conversation, he had no idea I was no longer there.He is truly the most caring surgeon and his work is remarkable. Everyone should have his phone number on speed dial! I am truly grateful to him. read more

I have HS and like many other HS sufferers it is SO hard to find a doctor/surgeon knowledgeable in this disease. I had decided that I wanted a family and I wanted to try every medicine/natural remedy/biologic before surgery. Nothing worked. I had found Dr. Tahernia 4 years before I had surgery and had researched him. I kept my options open throughout the years but always came back to him. I haven't found one bad review or experience written about him. Anyways, fast forward and I am 26 and am done having my family. I decided to have surgery. I called the office and she gave me the doctors email. I emailed him pictures and I received a call from Dr. Tahernia 2 hours later. That day we had a plan and surgery scheduled for the next month. The day came and I flew from I flew from Idaho to LA to meet Dr. Tahernia. The hospital itself is a little older but the care is top notch. The nurses all know about HS and are so kind. The doctors are amazing. Dr. Tahernia himself is already a miracle worker but his team as a whole makes this whole very scary, life changing experience a little easier. His anesthesiologist was a sweet Russian man and I loved how he held my hand when he talked to me. Both surgerys went great and he let me know what to expect when I went home. You know he's a busy man and he's still taken the time to talk with my healthcare providers here in Idaho and get on the same page with them so we all know what's going on and what's to come. I've never had a doctor give me his number and it gives me so much comfort to be able to text him my concerns. He's texted me everything is going to okay and hearing that from him calms me more than anything right now. I'm 2 weeks post OP and life is hard, my mind is tired, my body is SO tired but I would do it all again because I know and trust that the surgery he's done on my armpits will leave me pain free and more mobile. He's already changed my life. HS pain is agony. Its unbearable. I know I'm taking painkillers right now but the pain level I have daily is a 1 and at its worst a 5. My HS pain was a 10 every single day. I would just sit in the bath and sob. If you're reading this and have HS you don't need to research any further. Dr. Dr. Tahernia is the doctor you need and want. You deserve the best and he is the best. read more

Dr. Tahernia is AMAZING!! He was recommended to me by a friend who had her breasts done (and they look fantastic!). I have been seeing him for a little "sprucing up" here and there. I absolutely love him, professional, compassionate and most importantly attentive!! read more

Dr. Amir Tahernia was amazing when our Alex was injured and urgently needed a plastic Surgeon at Cedar Hospital. There are no words to describe Dr. Tahernia other than simply astonishing. He is truly skilled. Amir and team, thank you so much for being there for us during our time of need. I'm forever grateful. read more

Dr. Tahernia saw my wife, Liz, in emergency at St. John's after she fell and tore her forehead badly. He was a total calming influence. She relaxed, talked with him as he worked and now one week later--stitches out, healing continues and she is confident that there will be very little scaring. It is not just the quality of his work, but the fabulous attitude and personal relations that make Dr. Amir a God send for us. Thank you Dr.Tahernia for being there when we most need you! read more

Dr. Tahernia was wonderful. I was seeking a doctor for Botox and was pretty nervous, as it was my first time, but Dr. Tahernia was great. He was super friendly, which put me at ease, and offered his expert opinion on how to go about achieving the look I wanted. It definitely was not pain-free, but they applied numbing gel so it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am very happy with the results and look forward to my next appointment! read more

First with a condition like HS, it's very hard to even find a doctor that knows what it is, well enough one that has done prior surgeries. Before I found Dr. Tahernia, I went to 3 referrals from insurance. One had experience with 2 armpit surgeries. It's really hard to find a good surgeon with experience with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The other 2 didn't have experience with this! But the icing on the cake is he is a plastic surgeon too. So he not only fixes it, but makes it look good. I went there once for a consultation. In and out in 15 minutes. He knew exactly what he was talking about. I knew then I wanted him to do all of my surgeries. My problem was I also have white coat syndrome, from an experience that happened at the hospital, when I gave birth to my son, 11 years before. He said just get medical clearance and I can do the surgery. The day of the surgery, of course, I'm having panic attacks and they are taking my blood pressure over and over. It's like 200/111. He explains to me that he can't do the surgery with it that high. That I need to calm down, and left me alone with the machine, to keep retaking my blood pressure. I switched it to a large cuff. The 3rd one I took was fine. I was good for surgery! Next the anesthesiologist was awesome. He put me to sleep without even knowing I was going to sleep. I loved that. The nurse woke me up, and she said your surgery is over. I said, but I haven't gone to sleep yet! After surgery my blood pressure was great and I was so relaxed I could do it in front of the nurses. I remember the last reading was 30 minutes later. It was 123/79. I was so happy that means I did 6 blood pressure readings in front of nurses. So I think the doctor cured me of my white coat syndrome. Before the surgery, I read all of these reviews about the hospital. It didn't sound like it was a good hospital to use. I was worried about it. But now, I love this hospital. Everybody was so attentive!! Just excellent care. Nurses that weren't even my nurse were totally helping with whatever I needed. I was ready for discharge about 1 hour after surgery. What the anesthesiologist used to knock me out, was great because I was awake and alert. I had an hour and half train ride home. I didn't even need to sleep when i got home. Gina works for him. She is so pleasant, sweet. She has the best demeanor. Just calling her, really calms me down.She is so attentive. I was given an antibiotic I never took, so I didn't want to take it. Then I called and they switched it to another one not a problem. Then that one wasn't working on this area. So I called again, they switched it to another one. That one worked great. I still need to have breast done again. I had a laser surgery done from another doctor that isn't really cleared up. I have a lot of scares under my breast from that surgery and I still get HS there. Plus now it's moved down to the rib cage area. I need him to do my breast. I need to do my vagina area. But that one is a big surgery so I'm probably going to save that for last. Oh I know what I was going to say, I was talking to someone with HS from Texas. She needed a good doctor and I wanted to refer her to him. I called into the office at 9:00 in the morning, and he answered his own phone! I was blown away. All of his follow up appointments are great super fast. I don't have to pay much for parking. Park on that street at the meter. You only need 30 minutes really, because you will be in and out. I've never had a wait there. read more

If I could give Dr. Tahernia 6 stars, I would do that! I first met him a number of years ago in the emergency room when I needed stitches in my eyebrow after walking into the trunk of my car! The attending ER doctor told me that if she did it, I would have a permanent scar across my eyebrow, but alternatively, the plastic surgeon could do it, after which no one would ever see a scar. Of course, I chose the latter. Not only does my eyebrow look like nothing ever happened, but Dr. Tahernia was so personable that I walked away feeling like he was a friend. Nine years later when I was ready for cosmetic surgery on my eyes, I knew who I would turn to. I am now three weeks out, and my eyes already look fabulous. The black circles are gone, and the skin beneath my eyes looks bright. The top lids are healing seamlessly. Additionally, Dr. Tahernia made the surgical process easy, and he was there for me in every respect afterwards as I called a number of times with questions. I could not imagine a better experience with a plastic surgeon and would never consider going to anyone else! Oh -- and he recently got a new office which has a super cool vibe! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Tahernia for any cosmetic surgery!! His work is amazing. I am extremely happy with my breast augmentation. He is very personable, honest and truly cares about your well being. I have recommended Dr. Tahernia to many of my girlfriends and they to are more than happy with their results. I could go on and on about how amazing Dr. Tahernia is!! If you are considering any type beauty enhancement go see Dr.Tahernia!! read more

Need help with HS??? This is the doctor to see! I cannot say enough great things about him and how he has changed my life. I had both my armpits done by him a few weeks ago and am so grateful for what he has done for me and my family. If you know how debilitating this disease can be, I could no longer live with it and needed to take the next step since other treatments did not work for me. I seen many other doctors and could not get the help I needed from them. Surgery was the only thing that was going to save me from a life of pain. There is no cure just management, who wants to live like that? Not me so I went to this amazing doctor and here I am HS pain free!!! He is so sympathetic to people with HS I just admire him so much and everything he has done for me and everyone else he has helped with HS. Out of all the research I did to find a doctor nobody is more qualified than him. Also his staff is great, Yordanos always calls me right back to answer all my questions. Thank you Dr. Tahernia and staff you guys are the best!!! read more

Dr. Tahernia is one of the greats people I know. Just when I thought my world was coming to end he helped me get control of my life again. It all started my beginning of senior year of high school as a boil. Usual I would just let the boil pop on it's own, but a week went by and the boil continue to grow bigger. So, I decided to tell my parents and they took me to the hospital. The surgeons just thought it was a average boil; until I came back the next week with another boil on side the cut. The outbreaks continue to come and the doctors was running out of answers. The doctors said I have a skin disease called HS. I've been to 3 different hospitals within the past 4 months and had a totally of 18 surgeries. Finally my mom found Dr. Tahernia website and proceed to take me there. Once I began talking to Dr. Tahernia I just knew he was the right doctor for me. Since then I have never had another outbreak. Also I was healed enough to attend my last prom and was able to walk across the stage for graduation. So if you guys are still looking for a surgeon look no more he is the best. read more

Dr. Amir Tahernia is an accomplished, dedicated and talented plastic surgeon who truly cares about his patients. I actually went to Dr. Tahernia because of the positive reviews I read online. He knew immediately that I had trigger finger and upon first meeting him, he was smart, kind, dedicated and went over all the information I needed. I first started with a cortisone shot, but one year later.. as explained, I needed to have the simple surgery which would correct my trigger finger. Prior to starting my procedure, Dr. Tahernia took his time to thoroughly explain the procedure and the process involved for desired results. I had a clear understanding of what was involved and was fully comfortable with the plan he had tailored specifically to address my problem area. I am so grateful to him for all his help. Not only is he an amazing plastic surgeon, he is an incredible human being with a deep desire to help people. He is a kind and compassionate individual who genuinely cares about his patients. It only takes one meeting with him to know that he is very passionate about what he is doing and takes pride in his work, let alone a very, very very smart doctor. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Tahernia and his staff for helping me. It goes without saying I would highly recommend him. I will be going back to him for other cosmetic procedures. I already sent my sister and she was equally happy. read more

I went to see Dr Tahernia when my daughter was biten in the face by a dog. She is 10 years old. We thought she had possibly lost her eye. He was incredible. He held steady, he was able to calm us down and get my daughter to the point of relaxing enough so that he could do his magic. I thought she was going to be scarred for life, but she isnt. After a month and a half you can barley see the puncture wound or the stiches along her eye. I can't say enough about him. He is a wonderful surgeon. His work is impeccable, his bedside manner is unbelievable and his follow up is top notch. We got phone calls for days to make sure that it was healing properly. We were given precise instructions on how to keep it clean and how to keep it from scarring. He reassured my daughter a million times that it would be okay and along the way he had stories to keep her from getting upset. When we went in for the follow up appts, his staff was kind and accomodating and we were seen right away. I can not recommend him enough. He is wonderful. He literally is as good as it gets! read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. T during a very difficult time in my life. He has performed five surgeries which ran from removal of a chest wall tumor to reconstruction afterwards. With one more surgery to go, there is no one else I would ever trust. His bedside manner was warm, and he was able to connect to me as a person and as his patient. The emotional security I felt in his care, was as important as how secure I felt with his skill. For anyone going through surgery, from something complicated to something more routine, I would not hesitate to recommend him His assistant Gina, is also as lovely as they come. She literally held my hand through some difficult moments in the office, which is not exactly her role there, but they work together as a team to the benefit of their patients. I actually go there now without any anxiety, I'm greeted as a friend and it makes going through difficult times more bearable. read more
