- “Nezhat’s contribution was and is unique. He has developed such facility with the technique in the operating room that he serves as a mentor for other physicians, challenging us to learn the new technique by showing us not only the art of the possible, by the tremendous advantage minimal surgery offers. When you watch hi operate, you have to cast off the excuse, ‘this procedure can’t be done using video laparoscopy; the introduction of videolaparoscopy and videolaseroscopy by Nezhat allowed the involvement of the entire operating team in the surgery. Camran along with his brothers not only performed these procedures elegantly, but he was also willing to teach any- and everyone who expressed an interest. They are very freely and unselfishly willing to share their experience and knowledge with the world.” –Dr. Mary Lake Pollan, OB/GYN Department Chairman at Stanford, 1995
- “In my opinion, with the cooperation of his 2 brothers, Camran enriched the entire field of surgical laparoscopy. Today, Dr. Nezhat’s book opens a new door to a whole new era of endoscopic surgery.” –Dr. Kurt Semm, 2000
- “Dr. Nezhat dared to go where no man had gone before and, by doing this, he opened up unimagined vistas to endoscopic surgeons all over the world. For his courage, Camran over the years has suffered but persevered.” –Dr. Alan DeCherney, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UCLA, 1995
- “Camran is testament to the fact that being a pioneer is often a very lonely place until our beliefs are tested and proven. It took 20 years, but we are grateful that Camran preserved and held steadfast to his dreams.” –Dr. James Carter, 2006
- “I can’t thank Dr. Nezhat enough and his team for helping with my endometriosis.
I have been a patient of Dr. Camran Nezhat since I was18 years old. I’m 31 years old & thanks for Dr. Nezhat, I have a beautiful 8years old son. Dr. Nezhat changed my life. I recommend every woman to go see him if you aren’t sure if surgery is the right treatment option for you. Don’t waste your time going from doctor to the other. Dr. Nezhat is a miracle maker. My family & I love you so much Dr. Nezhat :)”— Sylvia S. Palo Alto, CA, 2014 - “Dr. Nezhat is THE guy for laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. He literally has written textbooks on it. If you aren’t sure that surgery is the right treatment option for you, I recommend discussing your options with your OB/GYN first. Go see Dr. Nezhat once you’ve decided on surgery… Dr. Nezhat genuinely wants to help and is extremely skilled and knowledgeable. He’s one of the few people that I’ve met that seems to truly understand how painful and debilitating endometriosis can be, without having experienced it firsthand. I had an excellent surgical experience with him and his team in 2009, and most importantly, good results. I was able to stay pain free long enough to postpone a hysterectomy, until after 2 pregnancies. I also attribute the success of my IVF procedure to starting with the clean (endometriosis-free) slate Dr. Nezhat provided for me. ”—Rebecca O., Yelp, 2014
- “Dr. Nezhat and his colleagues performed a minimally invasive surgery on my wife for endometriosis, which we discovered after a painful, late-night visit to the emergency room. Throughout the whole process, Dr. Nezhat and his team were incredibly supportive, empathetic, and encouraging. They patiently explained everything that we needed to do, all the steps in the process, and what we should expect afterwards. Everything was very clear, and all our questions were answered. They provided us with all the information we wanted, including primary source articles. On the day of the surgery, everything went perfectly, and after a speedy recovery, my wife was back to playing beach volleyball in just a few weeks. The surgical scars are tiny, and the surgical team’s attention to detail was outstanding; they checked for all sorts of other problems, and luckily found nothing other than endometriosis. It’s so rare to find a doctor who is willing to invest this kind of time to actually get to know their patients, and Dr. Nezhat is a brilliant example of a real, honest-to-goodness doctor who cares about the people he helps. He is what I wish every doctor could be. Dr. Nezhat’s extensive experience and soothing manner inspire confidence, and in this hurried, modern world of health insurance and “managed care,” his compassion, empathy, and dedication to patient care have an almost old-fashioned quality. But at the same time, he has pioneered cutting edge techniques for minimally invasive surgery. I am so incredibly glad that we chose him to perform my wife’s operation. The whole team was excellent!”—Thad H., 2013
- “My daughter suffered from endometriosis. Fortunately, I knew about Dr. Nezhat and had her see him right away. He was very sensitive and smart about how to plan for treatment…My daughter needed surgery and Camran suggested one of his fellows, since she was one of the providers on my daughter’s insurance plan. My daughter has been pain free for the last three years—ever since the surgery. I am so glad Dr. Nezhat teaches other doctors how to perform surgery. There are many who don’t know how to properly treat endometriosis.”—Sarah D., Yelp, 2013
- “My wife has got ovarian cyst and consulted several Gynecologists. However, the situation was not optimistic and we were told that ovaries on one side or even on both sides may be cut. That was scary because we found there would be many sequelae without estrogen generated by ovarian. After some research, we found that Dr. Nezhat has very high reputation in the field of laparoscopic surgery. After discussed with Dr. Nezhat, we decided to start surgery as soon as possible. In late Dec 2013, after more than 3 hours surgery, Dr. Nezhat told me that although cyst symptom was very severe, he saved both ovaries and only removed cysts. That is really a wonderful news! Many thanks for Dr’s excellence and expertise. In the following 2 weeks recovery, my wife has very little pain, the incisions are very small and heal very smoothly. We really appreciate Dr. Nezhat and his team’s for all their care, time, attention and expertise.I think we are very lucky that we find Dr. Nezhat to perform this surgery. His God-given surgical skills and knowledge are very impressive. And his team is very supportive, empathetic and helpful. We highly recommend Dr.Nezhat and his team for help.Thanks again, Dr. Nezhat!”— Scott D. San Jose, CA , 2014
- “Dr. Nezhat is the best doctor I have ever seen. I am so glad that I flew to CA to see him. Not only is he so good at surgeries, but he also cares about the patient. I had very severe endometriosis and infertility issues. He was able to solve all my problems in one surgery. He also accepts my insurance, which is not always the case, especially for famous doctors. He gives me hope for my fight with endometriosis. I am so grateful and feel lucky to have him as my doctor.”—Jane Z., Yelp, 2013
- “Angel on Earth…That is how I describe Dr. Nezhat. I am an adenomyosis and endometriosis sufferer. For years, I have been misled by other doctors and their misdiagnoses. Dr. Nezhat performed 2 surgeries on me: the second one being a hysterectomy. The diseases finally defeated me and I could no longer stand the pain. The end result took away my chance to carry a baby, but I got my life back. Dr. Nezhat sets an example of empathy for his patients, professionalism, and bedside manner that every Doctor should follow. He truly cares about your wellbeing. The staff at his office is very helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Nezhat grabbed my hand right before surgery and told me he is going to take good care of me. That is exactly what he and his staff did. They made it possible for me to cope with a very sad experience. You can feel the passion to heal from Dr. Nezhat and his team from start to finish. He saved my life, and allowed me to gain trust and faith in the medical system…Thank you Dr. Nezhat for saving my life, and thank you for giving us sufferers of this horrific disease, a voice!!”—Nicole M., Yelp, 2013
- “I can’t begin to describe how grateful I am to Dr. Nezhat and his incredible team! I have been dealing with endometriosis for what seems like an eternity. I have seen many doctors, tried numerous different procedures, undergone surgery, and nothing worked. I was at the end of my rope and completely frustrated when I went to see Dr. Nezhat. I was nervous from the beginning; I don’t enjoy doctors’ visits, but the moment I set foot inside his office, things changed. The front desk team is so friendly and kind. They greet you with a smile and are willing to answer whatever questions you have. The doctors on staff are top notch and are truly interested in your care and wellbeing. Dr. Nezhat himself is kind, considerate, and an exceptional surgeon. Don’t hesitate to call! I assure you, you will have no regrets and be thankful that you did.”—Jen C., Yelp, 2013
- “Dr. Nezhat and his staff are truly AMAZING! I am so grateful to have been referred to him by my wonderful primary care physician. He is a thought leader and excellent surgeon! I completely trust him and know I am in good hands with him and his staff. I highly recommend him, if you want the best!”—Naz B., Yelp, 2013
- “…Words could never convey the true depth of my appreciation for what you have done for me, for my marriage, for my family, and for my future…What you have done for me, and so many women like me, is nothing short of a miracle…you have given me back the gift of hopefulness…You inspire me in ways I am still unable to articulate. You are an incredible man, doctor, and human being. There is a level of unparalleled aptitude, honesty, and integrity that you demonstrate; it is unrivaled in modern medicine and in today’s world…There is no question your method and skill are far superior to any other doctors I have seen in the field of women’s reproductive health or endometriosis…Your incredible skill is exceeded only by your incredible heart…I’d also like to thank your entire staff…To the many women who now sit where I sat: should you read this letter…please know that you are in unparalleled and unrivaled hands. Do not feel any fear or apprehension. You do not have to live in pain any longer. You are not alone. You deserve to be happy in this life. The fact that you are here is a tremendous gift. You have nothing to fear. This Doctor, this Man, he will forever change your life. You are so blessed to be here…”—Katie E., Letter to Dr. Nezhat, 2012
