History

Established in 2010.

Founded in 2010, the Khalili Center for Bariatric Care is a one-​of-​a-​kind medical practice offering a comprehensive approach to weight loss surgery, with tools and support to help people transform their lives. The Center is built on the ideal that our relationship with patients is truly a Partnership for Life – one that is far more inclusive than simply surgery and follow-​up visits. We believe that together, as patients and doctors, we can create ongoing and long-​lasting healthy changes in our patients’ lives. Theodore Khalili, MD; Gregg Kai Nishi, MD; and Eraj Basseri, MD have worked together for more than ten years at Cedars-​Sinai Medical Center, one of the largest and most renowned facilities of its kind in the world. Doctors Khalili, Nishi and Basseri have operated on more than 5,000 patients together. Their combined experience and state of the art facility create what we feel is one of the finest Bariatric Surgery Programs in the country.
