I forgot to post my annual review for the anniversary of my mom's quadruple bypass. She had the surgery over 8 years ago. How many people can say they extended a person's life 8 years? Dr. Malekmehr makes miracles happen. My family is very grateful. read more

Great experience getting my allergies treated with Dr. Cutiller-Garcia. The doctor and staff are nice and make you feel welcomed.

People often tell me I'm lucky to be alive -- but the truth is, the only "luck" involved was that Dr. Malekmehr was in the area and on call that day. His quick action, unmatched medical brilliance, and extraordinary attentiveness quite literally saved my life. Dr. Malekmehr is a cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon, and his ability to identify what others might have missed -- the subtle symptoms that prompted immediate and life-saving intervention -- is nothing short of remarkable. When I awoke from surgery, he was standing at my bedside. That was in 2009. Fast forward to today -- he still knows me, remembers my case, and continues to care for me with the same compassion, focus, and integrity that defined that first encounter. His medical expertise is extraordinary, but what sets him apart is his human acumen -- his empathy, his memory, and his genuine dedication to the people he treats. I could not recommend anyone more highly. He doesn't just save lives -- he remembers them. If you're looking for a surgeon who is both brilliant and deeply human, Dr. Malekmehr is that rare combination. read more

These people are crooks! Came in for a consultation over a procedure on my legs. Dr.Malekmehr checked me out and said he could not provide me service over my insurance situation. I was fine with paying cash for the procedure but said they would not do it. Yet they had the audacity to charge me $1,200.00 for turning me away. I ended up going to Nu Vella and had no issues paying cash for the procedure and was happy with the results. Don't go here unless you want to be ripped off! read more

This review is for hospital care only. Never seen in his office One of the most condescending professionals I have ever had to deal with. The lack of any trace of empathy still has me shaking my head. Zero bedside manner. Will never agree to any future form of treatment by him, ever, and I doubt all of his Yelp accolades are legit read more

Dr. Malekmehr was great in addressing my foot issues. His approach felt personalized and he took the time to explain everything thoroughly. The staff was friendly, and I appreciated the overall atmosphere of the clinic. I left feeling more informed and confident about my treatment plan. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 is that I had to wait a bit longer than expected for my appointment. Overall, I would recommend him! read more

Very Pleased to have been treated by Dr Malekmeh. His compassionate care and professional approach really made the difference. I was in need of a vascular intervention to my lower extremity. Dr Malekmehr explained in depth of every step that he was going to take and he did not deviate at all from his initial plan. I got my endovascular procedure done in his lab located in Encino. My whole experience to minute I walked in with a smile and warm welcome from staff to the minute I walked out with new arteries. His excelent knowledge and world class patient care was very obvious . thank you kindly ! Avedis T read more

Great office people and Dr are so friendly just takes months to get an appointment. But overall it was very welcoming

‼DONT GO HERE‼ The lack of care, poor communication, and rude staff made it an unpleasant visit. The staff seemed disinterested and did not take the time to listen to my concerns or answer my questions. The communication was also lacking, with important information being overlooked. The front desk worker's attitude was rude and unprofessional, making me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Worst experience ever! read more

Dr. Makekmehr is the most awesome doctor there is. He is knowledgeable in all aspects of medicine. He listened carefully to all of my concerns and his approach to my care was on point. His support staff are the greatest. As I walked in I was greeted by a very professional young lady by the name of Margarita who helped check me in. His ultrasound technician Greg was just wonderful. Did not hurt me one bit. Kept me entertained even though I was nervous. My procedure went uneventful and I left the office feeling great. I highly recommend this doctor to anyone. I drove an hour from marina Del Rey to get here and it was well worth the drive. read more

My teenage son suffered from seveve hyperhydrosis. We tried every remedy possible including creams, homeopathic treatments, anticholinergics, iontophoresis and Botox with no relief at all. Our last option was the most effective and most invasive procedure, a bilateral endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. We did an extensive search of many physicians, and after our initial consultation with Dr. Malekmehr, knew he was the best possible surgeon. Despite many major medical centers near us in Ann Arbor, Michigan, we flew over 2,200 miles to Los Angeles, California. His team was wonderful in helping us coordinate our pre-operative care. The surgery was uncomplicated and the results are beyond our expectations. To say that my son's life has been greatly changed for the better is an understatement. Dr. Malekmehr is kind, highly intelligent and so skilled. We are so grateful to him and so thankful that he was able to care for my son. Thank you Dr. Malekmehr and my God bless you always! read more

I'm really sorry to the angry man who is copying and pasting a bad review in 6 different places for Dr. Malekmehr because he may have lost a loved one. Even the best surgeon in the world can't "win" 100% of the time, but I can assure you that it's not because he didn't try his best. Dr. M is amazing, and at the top of his game. He takes on difficult cases that others say can't be done. When we saw him, he was practicing in an office near Valley Presbyterian Hospital in the SFV. In 2008, my Father, who was 8 years out of a major stroke, was found to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm that most said couldn't be operated on because it was too large. He quickly got 4D images to the mfg of the stents and had one custom made, and the mfg had one of their employees on a plane to deliver it the following day. The surgery went better than expected, took half of the anticipated time, and this physician saved my Dad's life. When he came out to tell us that everything went well, I was literally jumping up and down and nearly squealing. When I asked him if it would be OK if I hugged him, he finally broke a big smile and said "sure"! Going in to the procedure, we were told that there was a significant possibility that things could go catastrophically bad because of the size of the AAA and Dad's prior conditions. Dr. M came out to give us good news 2 hours earlier than we were told they would be done, and I expected the worst.. When he came to say it was a success, I asked him "how are you not out here squealing like we are, and dancing around giving high fives?" So, for all of those who think he is a cold man.. his response to me was "I am happier inside than you can imagine, but I can't allow myself the luxury of expressing the highs like you are right now.. because we unfortunately don't win every time. If I were to allow myself to celebrate the successes, you can only imagine what I would go through when we lose. I have to try my best to remain balanced," What he said was sobering and made complete sense to me. But he had a twinkle in his eye and he did smile. He was happy! Almost 2 years later, a separate issue landed my Father in Henry Mayo. when he needed to have a central line dropped, my Dad's primary called Dr. M because he felt he was "the best". This man, after working a full day at Valley Presbyterian, got in his car and drove all the way up to Valencia to do this procedure for my Father. He remembered our family and said "hi".. how anyone can't see that he gives compassionate care shocks me. I'm not related, I'm not a current patient.. I'm just someone who is grateful for this good human. read more

He just did my mother in laws surgery and didn't even bother to come talk to us post surgery. Give us an update... How hard is that? I'm adding the content that was removed by yelp. This guy is something. Worst doctor I've been around. Even the nurses at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital said that he always does this to his patients. WOW!! read more

I have had pneumonitis since August. My pulmonologist said enough of different tests and meds and referred me to Dr. Malekmehr. My first consultation was brief but informative. Doctor said that he wanted to do a VAT. A VAT is taking tissues from each lung for biopsy. I have an awful group Insurance and it was at the 11th hour that my surgery was approved thanks to Dr. Malekmehr and his assistant, Margarita! My surgery was about 2 hours. Doctor came in and said everything went well and I was discharged 3 days later. I had my follow-up appointment 1 week later at which time some of the biopsies had come back negative! Dr. Malekmehr advised me to follow-up with him in 2 months and lose weight! I'm still not out of the woods but I have the best doctors who really care about my well being and on top of the best is Dr. Malekmehr! Thank you so much doctor and Margarita! read more

I recently saw dr Malekmehr's ad in the Santa Clarita magazine and decided to make an appointment. I was surprised how quickly I was able to get in to see him. I have had varicose veins for years and have seen vascular doctors before and none have been able to help me with more than just compression stockings. I was very relieved to have found out during his appointment he offered more treatments other than just stockings. The appointment went great and I'm excited to see how he can help me with my legs. read more

Five weeks ago I went through a life-altering experience. A couple days following a very routine and minor shoulder surgery, the inside of my arm near the elbow started hurting. Over the next 48 hours it became warm to the touch, I had difficulty straightening my arm and it appeared red. I went in for my post-op meeting with my surgeon's assistant. During his tests of my mobility, I mentioned the pain in my arm. He dismissed it as residual stiffness and pain from the shoulder surgery. I told him I had researched my symptoms on Google and asked about the possibility of a blood clot. He dismissed my comments as "blood clots after a minor surgery, especially in the arm, just don't happen." I insisted on getting tested for it. When I say he was dismissive, he dismissed my concerns FOUR times in the office. Finally, I insisted. He obliged by saying, "Fine. If it gives you peace of mind, I'll send you to get an ultrasound." Fast forward, I was diagnosed with three major blood clots in my upper arm and rushed to ER and put on immediate blood thinners. Another doctor the following day told me, "I read your reports. You have very large clots. You should probably find a surgeon." Well thanks, that's helpful. I was scared, lost, in pain, and confused. I immediately did a search online for DVT blood clots and surgeon. Dr. Malekmehr's website came up. I messaged my situation through his website and to my shock, he answered me personally the same day stating that he could see me the following day. Fast forward to the following day, Dr. Malekmehr had already researched my situation and recommended immediate emergency surgery. He and his amazing team performed the surgery the following morning successfully removing the life-threatening blood clots in my upper arm. To say that Dr. Malekmehr saved my life is an understatement. This was the scariest time in my life. Following the surgery, I learned that if not resolved in the first week or so, I would have lost all use of my right arm, or worse. Dr. Malekmehr is kind, direct, patient, and brilliant. I thank god each day now, for many things, and included on that list is a doctor who I have come to admire and owe so much to... doctor who actually answers emails to people who aren't even his patients yet, who sits and consoles, who answers questions, who acts with knowledge and professionalism, who cares and heals. Thank you Dr. Malekmehr for the lives you save each and every day. - A grateful patient read more

Dr. Malekmehr saved my live. I was near death after being misdiagnosed by my primary care doctor. He performed surgery on my left lung and he had to remove part of it because it was so infected.

I recently took my mom in for a consultation, my mom is diabetic and she's always been skeptical about getting her varicose veins treated because of her condition. We are both very pleased with the doctor he answered all our questions and verified that there is treatment for her that won't affect her condition. We highly recommend this practice and doctor. Not only that but staff was also very helpful (great customer service) read more

Dr. Malekmehr was called in to consult when I was admitted to ER for a blood clot in my chest caused by a PICC line. He admitted me and performed a procedure on me to dilute and remove the clot, thereby restoring the impaired function in my arm and hand. He was skillful, knowledgeable and compassionate. When I followed up with him after hospitalization and went to his office, I learned he had a ton of patients. Nonetheless, when he walked in to examining room, he knew exactly who I was, knew my history and thoroughly explained the procedure and followup care. I felt as though I was his only patient. (Wait was only about 10 minutes...) I would go to Dr. Malekmehr for any problem in his arena in a fast second. read more

Near Death Experience Thwarted by Masterful Surgeon On November 24th, 2 days before Thanksgiving 2015, I was given the greatest reason to be thankful, Doctor Farshad Malekmehr miraculously saved my life. Having a history of hypertension and heart disease, on Tuesday late afternoon during a school meeting, I suddenly had an extreme abdominal pain, so excruciating resulting in doubling me over at the waist and on the floor. I was immediately rushed by ambulance to Providence Holy Cross Hospital. Upon arriving, my luck changed because the greatest surgeon in the world happen to be available, Dr. Farshad Malekmehr. After preliminary exam results were sent to him, his years of expertise enabled him to quickly diagnose the condition and determine an emergency Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm repair was necessary immediately or I would die. Malekmehr quickly arrived at the hospital and discovered a massive infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with abnormal soft tissue density which could represent a contained rupture. Aneurysm dimensions ( 9.7 cm x 9.6 cm and 17.5 cm in length) He wasted no time getting me on the operating table to create a stint to repair the ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and bilateral iliac artery aneurysms. Dr. Malekmehr's experience taught him there were two methods of surgery namely; open versus endovascular technique. It was explained that I was at very high risk of mortality and severe morbity with an open operation due to excruciating factors and the massive size of the aneurysm. The normal life expectancy rate of this operation is only 3% but with Dr. Malekmehr's skills and expertise increased the outcome exponentially. The confidence Doctor Malekmehr portrayed in his demeanor prior to surgery was the result of years of success in this tedious tactical procedure. I could go into detail about the step by step procedure and what stints and grafts were created during the 14 hour surgery but with no medical background, I doubt you would understand it any better than me. The point is that Doctor Malekmehr performed a miracle and saved my life with the expertise and gifted hands of a Super Star Surgeon. I am convinced that Doctor Farshad Malekmehr was the only surgeon who could have done this procedure as miraculously and superbly as he did and virtually eliminate the risk of death, defying the historical data for this life threatening tedious procedure. If you happen to find yourself in this predicament, you don't want anyone else to do this surgery other than Doctor Farshad Malekmehr, MD. read more
