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.

Consummate and Friendly Pro
If you want a pro with an efficient and warm communication style, Fass is your guy.I had two pinhole central hernias. In 10 seconds in his office he identified exactly what was up, offered me the options (including doing nothing now and just monitoring them), and we established that he had worked with Fallas who had done a previous hernia repair for me back at Cedar-Sinai.I am sitting here, 30 hours after my surgery, in minor dull pain and thrilled that I got this handled. And his staff has been wonderful.Two big ????????.

Excellent surgeon
Dr. Fass was extremely competent, professional, and efficient. He explained his diagnosis and the surgery process thoroughly. He followed up the day following surgery, and I had a visit a week later. He performed the surgery on my large hernia with no complications. Couldn't have hoped for a better experience.

Doctor Fass is clearly a surgical nerd. He LOVES what he does and knows all the little bits and likes to share. I had a lot of fun talking to him. He has an excellent bedside manner. If I were needing to be opened up again, he's #1

When I was referred to Dr. Fass by my PCP, I was able to make an appointment promptly, and the check in and wait were of minimal time. Dr. Fas is courteous, informative, and above all...professional. I was in need of a surgical procedure, that he then scheduled within a week...and that procedure will necessitate me writing another 5 Star review!

Dr Fass just as kind as he was years ago. He listened and affirmed he can likely help with my situation. Amazed that Jenna is still there. Speaks volumes of caliber of the team there. No one looks forward to surgery but to know you are in the hands of a great surgeon offers a lot if comfort at a stressful time!
