Meet Our Team

Theodore M. Khalili, MD, FACS
"We’ve created a center we hope will inspire our patients—where someone is always there for them. When you’re a patient of ours, you become part of our family."
Gregg Kai Nishi, MD, FACS, Surgery
"Our patients have made the choice to have surgery and change their lives, and we’re here to support them in any way we can—for as long as they need us."
Eraj Basseri, MD, Surgery
"It’s not about a number on a scale. It's about overcoming something you’ve struggled with for a long time. We all go through it. And, when we accomplish what we set out to do, we feel better about ourselves."
Steve C. Chen, MD, FACS, FAAP, Pediatric Surgery
"I always come back to this: how would I want my own children treated? That’s why I do everything I can to provide the best care possible for my young patients and their families. It’s all about the trust we build together."
Omid A. Shaye, MD, Gastroenterology
"Our most successful patients are those who take an active role in their healthcare. And, as their partners, we encourage them along this journey."
Pedram J. Enayati, MD, Gastroenterology
"Our patients mean the world to us, and our medical philosophy is to treat everyone equally. Whoever they are — and whatever their backgrounds or symptoms—we strive to always be compassionate and show them kindness and consideration."
Ritu Chopra, MD, Plastic Surgery
"We’re here because we want to make a difference in people’s lives—whether by controlling their obesity or diabetes or making them feel better about the way they look."
