Dr. Shervin Aminpour changed my life. When I was 12 years old, I got accidentally hit on the nose…read morewith a hockey stick in PE class. It broke my nose. I was afraid to tell my parents. Even though they noticed my nose looked crooked all of a sudden, I denied it out of fear, because I was afraid of doctors/hospitals at the time. I couldn't breathe well out of my right nostril. A few years later I started to notice the change in my face due to this unaddressed fracture. I hated how I looked in the mirror and I didn't feel like myself. In my late teens I went to my primary doc, told them I think I broke my nose, and explained the injury. The doctor took a look at me and said my nose was completely normal, didn't address the obstructed right nostril, and said my nose just changed because of puberty and it was my underlying genetics that made me look that way. I was disappointed but accepted what they said because they were an MD, and I didn't want to undergo an unnecessary procedure. Fast forward many years and I just couldn't shake the feeling that something was not right. I stumbled upon a picture of myself before the injury and that was the final straw that led me to seek a second opinion. I searched online for different docs and wanted to find someone who specialized in this form of reconstruction and cosmetic procedure. Long story short, I found Dr. Aminpour. The second he walked into the examination room, without even reading my file, he took one look at me and said "You broke your nose." I cannot emphasize enough how relieving this was for me. I felt like I was crazy for seeing something wrong when my primary doc told me there wasn't. Dr. Aminpour then discovered my septum was deviated through the physical exam, because it was obvious to him that I wasn't passing much air through the right nostril. I was very nervous on surgery day but he did a great job of reassuring me and easing my nerves. I can't tell you how much this procedure changed my life for the better. I got a combo septo/rhinoplasty. After I was cleared to take the bandages off, I left my house to run errands and saw my reflection in a car window. And for the first time in years, I loved what I saw. I felt like MYSELF. Finally my outward appearance matched what I felt on the inside. I asked Dr. Aminpour to make my nose look as similar as possible to what it was before my injury and he did so wonderfully. I stated my concerns about having a nose that had too much of a upturned swoop and a tip that was too thin/pointy. He reassured me that he wouldn't create that look and left the tip alone. The result is natural-looking AND... Taking a real full inhale for the first time in 2 decades made me realize what I was missing for so long. I no longer have to breathe through my mouth when exerting myself, and it's even improved my amateur signing voice, haha. THANK YOU DR. AMINPOUR FOR CHANGING MY LIFE!!!

https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/101-help/index.cfm…read more DR. AMINPOUR IS THIS HOW YOU LET YOUR STAFF TREAT YOUR PATIENTS? THIS IS NOT THE ONLY REVIEW WHERE THEY HAVE DONE THIS TO PATIENTS! They wait until you go into the office and rush you inside to see the doctor saying they are busy with too many appointments and didn't have time to check your insurance before confirming whether your insurance is covered or not when they have a copy of it and work enough with insurance to know by now which ones they accept and which they don't. Then they turn around and put the blame on their patients saying it's their responsibility to verify if they are covered as if the patients are the one with the title "medical receptionist" allegedly this office exists for a money grab they don't care at all and take advantage of they use these words "we will send it to collections" just so they can pay their out of office doctors they bring in, they will turn around and tell you that you took up their doctors time, but don't even consider the fact that you're not there for fun. You also have a life and have a job and they have now taken up your time because they failed to let you know that they don't accept your insurance until after the appointment and now you have to fight for your right as well as go see another doctor again take another day off again lose out on money that you need to pay your bills again. If they hire someone at the front desk they need to give them enough training, so that they don't turn around and blame it on the patients when their employees fail to do their duty. When somebody doesn't know how to do their job why does it become the patient's fault? While I was there, there was another man in there that was arguing with them so it seems as if this isn't the first time they try to swindle patients. Their manager is very rude and aggressive towards someone who is just trying to figure out why they waited until after you have seen the doctor to let you know how much you are going to have to pay for the visit and just tells you that you're arguing with her I didn't realize how easy it is to use "I don't wanna argue with you" as a way to shut down someone who's just trying to figure out why their office messed up this bad when they are a doctors office. If you have patients triple checking with you that you accept their insurance that means they can't afford to pay for a $200 visit! If you let patients know you're gonna get them an authorization because you accept their insurance that means there is no co-pay, and there is no fees if you discover as a medical receptionist as a doctor as a billing encoding employee that a patients insurance is not covered after you have told them it is covered then you should let them know before they go into the visit so that they can decide whether they can afford to pay it or whether they will cancel their appointment and go with a doctor that does accept their insurance because if they could afford private doctors they would have private health insurance. Mind you they will have you fill out a new patient authorization form online where you upload pictures of your insurance card so this means now they have your insurance card in multiple ways and they still fail to do their job correctly!

I also never thought I would look in the mirror and love the way my nose looked. I didn't even know what I was missing. Dr. Aminpour Showed me what it would be like to have the surgery to improve my health and my self confidence. I was scared. I didn't want to have this surgery if it could be avoided. I planned to live my life just how I had been. But Dr. Aminpour and his ENTIRE staff made me feel comfortable. They treated me like family. Everyone knew my name and was excited to take this joinery with my. I decided to take a leap of faith and set up my Rhino/septoplasty. After the surgery I was nervous to unveil my nose to the world, but even more so to myself. When the bandages finally came off I looked in the mirror and started to cry. In that moment I had never felt more beautiful. My nose looked completely natural and I could finally breath. Even with the redness and swelling still present, I knew that I was looking at the nose I couldn't have even dreamed of being so beautiful. My parents cried when they saw me saying this was the nose I was always supposed to have and Dr. Aminpour was the one to give it to me. I could never explain the gratitude and admiration I have for Dr. Aminpour and his team. They spend their lives making others better. That's what they did for me! Thank you Iris, Annie and all of the staff for helping me along the way! And thank you Dr. Aminpour for being so invested in my health and happiness!

The clinic is spotlessly clean and offers full privacy,we were the only ones there, and there are several treatment rooms to ensure each patient receives individualized care. Oh, and in the waiting area, there's a massage chair, tea, and books, it's the first time I've ever seen a massage chair in a waiting room! It made me feel truly welcomed, and the massage was amazing. There's such peace and quiet here, I truly feel like I'm in a spa. I'm even working on my laptop in the cozy waiting area, and it's such a pleasant atmosphere. Dr. Chizari even took the initiative to ask if I had internet. At first, I was using my phone's hotspot, and he immediately offered to connect me to the clinic's Wi-Fi. He's attentive to every detail and genuinely cares about the needs of everyone who walks through the door. also really love this area in general, there's convenient parking, and the neighborhood is quiet, upscale, and pleasant. Definitely a 5-star experience.

From the initial time I had the procedure done to this second go around about a year later, his professionalism, thorough explanations, and gentle approach made me feel completely at ease. So much so, I call myself a walking advertisement for any family and friends who are suffering from similar aches. PRP with Dr. Shukhman is the way to go. The procedure itself was smooth. Dr. Shukhman has always taken the time to explain every step and made sure I understood what to expect during and after the treatment. The first go around it was within a short period of time I started to feel the difference. He has become my primary care doctor, the PRP is just a plus side to the many health procedures he offers. The staff is courteous, the environment is clean and calming, and Dr. Shukhman always takes the time to truly listen. His medical practice has been a real asset to my overall health and recovery. This is something that is RARELY seen in medical practices. You typically get 10 minutes with a doctor before they have to move on. Dr. Shukhman ALWAYS takes his time to listen to every single concern and explain everything to the most minute detail. A complete change to the medical world. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My Friend (AA)has been through multiple surgeon consults, he somehow found Dr. Lake and immediately after his first consult with Dr. Lake he turned to me and said " thats my fucking surgeon" Dr.Lake not only exemplifies amazing bed side manner( and I say that as a healthcare professional myself) he never gives up he always continously guides the most resistant patients( due to past bad experiences with other surgeons) and he does it with such calmness charm and finesse. HE IS THE DEFINITION OF A PROFESSIONAL. He actually cares. My friend got his surgery done on MediCal for christ sake, and the level of care was emaculate. My friends surgery was 9 hours and after the surgery you would think the surgeon would be tired or just wants to give you the news and get out of there, nope this man was smiling sat with us and joked and comforted us- true professional and good human in every senses. The nurses also at valley cedar sinai will tell you the same. He knows how to get the most apprehensive resistant patients to comply. Thats an art they dont teach in med school, you either have it or you dont. I could go on and on, all I will say is Dr. Lake we are so blessed to have found you and thank you so much for all you deligence and hard work, we are forever grateful!!!
