California Surgical Institute of Beverly Hills

Horrible experience! Doctor is terrible! Stay away!!! This place should be closed. The staff is incompetent and the Dr. Has no interest in patient care!

My friend Ruba referred me so I went in for laugh lines and am SO happy with the results. It was my first time in, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They answered all my questions and helped calm my nerves. I’d absolutely go back.

**WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE**
My initial consultation was back in August 2015.
First off, the staff was superb and friendly. Both on the phone and in person.
They answered any and all questions thoroughly and with no hesitation.
Dr. Smaili was very informative. All questions were answered professionally and thoroughly.
I had done some research on Dr. Smaili and I felt confident he would perform the procedure well and all, in my best interest. I met with Edith Calix soon after & she provided all the information needed in regards to any info I might need Pre and Post op. She spent a significant amount of time with me. No rush feeling whatsoever. So polite, so friendly and so caring. That is the feeling I experienced across the board.
I booked the surgery right then and there.
My surgery date was September 17^th, 2015. The staff was so delightful and so thoughtful when I arrived. Hugs and everything. The nurses, the admin personnel as well as the anesthesiologist. They comforted my family as they were nervous. That showed me how caring the entire staff was and is.
I am completely satisfied with the results. The experience for having it be my first surgery, was excellent. I would highly recommend Dr. Smaili to friends and family… I already have :-)
**OVERALL, VERY SATISFIED!!**

I came into this Office and the staff was very comforting and helpful with all my questions.
I brought my girlfriend in to get Breast implants. They gave me all the positive feedback on all the Pro s and Cons on doing the Surgery. The Surgery went Well Dr Smaili Did wonders with my Girlfriends Appearance and Confidence. The Great Staff including the Consultant named Edith Really answered most of the Questions me and my girlfriend had about the Results. Hope Everyone will visit California Surgical Institute of Beverly Hills and Experience the wonderful staff, amazing follow up, and Best Results any Women Can ask For. Please Call and Try Dr. Smaili.

I actually chose another doctor to do my procedure, but I wanted to share my experience with California Surgical Institute.
I went in for a consultation on gynecomastia surgery. The main reception office is very small, so it was very crowded in there. It is obvious that they are a very busy practice and have many patients. However, this is what made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
Since they were very busy I had to wait a while to see the doctor. The consultation was very brief and to the point, it only lasted a couple of minutes. I then met with Edith to go over the cost and logistics of the surgery. She was amazing and is really the only reason I’m writing a somewhat positive review. She was nice, attentive, and made me feel comfortable. If everyone there, including the doctor, had been as nice and attentive as Edith then I would definitely have chosen them.
I do not want to discourage anyone from coming here, but you really have to do your research and find a doctor you feel comfortable with that specializes in your procedure. I ended up choosing another doctor (also reviewed on here) and although I will be paying more, I feel confident that I made the right decision for me.

I would not recommend this place to anyone! Dr. Smaili ruined my face!

My review does not show. I would not recommend Dr. Smaili. There is not a real patient interest. It’s evident he’s interested in only getting paid. Consultation lasts a good 6 minutes. The staff is unorganized and arrogant. There was only one nurse there that was kind and patient.
There are many great doctors out there. Don’t be fooled by the Beverly Hills location.

As you can see from my profile, I am typically not one to write reviews, However, I had to take a few minutes and write a review for California Surgical Institute.
I spent 2 years combing through surgeons in NYC and LA and finally choosing California Surgical Institute to conduct my procedure. I was not only looking for a surgeon who was a master in their line of work, but also a facility that kept to their schedule, clean, and most importantly true professionals.
My experience with Edith, Dr. Dhir, Dr, Smaili and the rest of the California Surgical Institute staff was beyond expectation. My first contact with California Surgical Institute was with Edith who’s very knowledgeable and made it priority to make me feel comfortable and answering all my questions clearly. When I met my surgeon (Dr Dhir) I was astonished by his demeanor, positive, thorough, attentive, and flexible attitude. He listened to everything I had to say and in the end… Delivered! I’m truly pleased with the outcome of my procedure and the follow-​up after from the staff. I can tell you from experience its very challenging to find an organization that can deliver on all ends like California Surgical Institute. I would like to thank them again for a job well done and all the best!

Dr. Saul did my breast Augmentation a week and a half ago. I couldn’t be more pleased with how they look! His bed side manner is great and he’s honest! I wanted a pretty large implant and he told me they would make me look top heavy so he recommended a size and they’re perfect! My best friend is going to be going to him for her mommy makeover!

When I initially called in to sched a consult, the person answering the phone had me on speaker and I could hear them eating food. I told her my name, what I would like to get a consult for, she asked which location I would like to go to, and then took my contact information and was about to end the call when I asked for a date for my consult. She seemed very absent-​minded. She gave me a date and time and then asked again for what procedure I wanted, my name, all the info I had already given her. This was not a good first impression.
When I went in for a consultation and when Dr Smaili came in he was very brusque, seemed rushed and I felt more like I was at the mechanic getting my car serviced than about to make a life-​changing decision. He never sat down with me but stood in the center of the room, clipboard in hand. He asked me maybe 2 or 3 questions and that was it. I had done a bit of research online so when he stopped asking me questions and seemed to be finished with our VERY brief consult, I asked some questions about implant choices, how the procedure goes, etc. He offered very curt answers; didn’t elaborate much at all. He seemed to think I should already know all about breast augmentation.
I told him I wanted teardrop implants, which he quickly agreed to. Later, when I went to another surgeon who actually ended up doing my procedure, he educated me on why I shouldn’t go with teardrop and that patient education helped me make a right choice. Dr. Smaili was just quick to agree with me, no questions as to why I wanted them or education about them.
After 5 or 6 minutes (and that’s not an exaggeration) we were done. He had be get dressed and sit with the patient coordinator to be presented with the cost of the procedure (over $ 7000).
I felt like I was being shuffled through an assembly line where there was little, if any, personal care or attention from the Dr. The patient coordinator was actually more warm and friendly than the Dr.
I decided before I left that I would not be getting my work done there.
As a note, the office spaces and waiting room are outdated, cluttered and seemed dirty.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Dr Smaili is a terrible surgeon. Had to remove my implants 9 months after he did his magic on me. Terrible experience. Review RATEMDS​.COM before coming to this so called DR!

By far, Dr. Smaili is the best plastic surgeon on the planet. He’s not your average plastic surgeon that just did well in school and can do surgery. He is an artist. Knows exactly what he is doing and even more than anyone else, but also has an artistic side to him. My best friend and aunt still look as natural as ever after their procedures with Dr. Smaili.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. From the bottom of my heart. You have changed my family’s life for the better, and I will keep recommending you to all my friends and family members.
