Reviews of Sadeghi Alireza MD (Plastic Surgery)

Arrived about 2 hours late for surgery. I forgave that. What's not forgivable is that he talked me into fat transfer saying that it was the procedure I needed for what I wanted. I questioned it but trusted him. My results suck. After talking to several people that know him they said that this happens often...him promising results he knows he cannot give. He ignored my email about my unsatisfactory results. He doesn't stand behind his work. Now I will pay someone else to fix his work. I feel Scammed

I first met Dr. Sadeghi when I was visiting NOLA and needed a doctor's recommendation/prescription for home health nursing service. I'd had a double mastectomy in Florida. A prominent surgeon had implanted a plate into my chest wall to prepare for implants. However, after a few months, I still was not healing. I didn't feel well, and was fighting fever every night. My Florida surgeon didn't know why I was not healing, and attributed it to my smoking five cigarettes a day. Within the first five minutes, Dr. Sadeghi knew the problem. He took handfuls of 4x4's and pressed against my chest wall. Fluid shot out of my chest over him, the table, and the floor until he had expressed about 100 cc's of the fluid. He told me that I needed surgery immediately, that I could not wait to see my Florida surgeon after my expected return in three weeks. I would not last that long. I was just days away from sepsis, which would kill me within a week! Being from Florida, it took longer to get approval for surgery from my insurance company. Dr. Sadeghi went to the head of the hospital for permission to operate immediately. Surgery went very well, and I was completely healed in two weeks! I then returned to Florida, packed up my things, and moved back to NOLA. After getting a job and new insurance, one year later Dr. Sadeghi performed my successful second attempt at breast reconstruction. A psychiatrist once said that a mastectomy for a woman is psychologically like castration for a man. Considering my psychological responses to my mastectomy, I believe it. And as a lupus patient, Dr. Sadeghi explained that the only reconstruction that would work for me was to use my own tissue, something my Florida surgeon refused to do. I am very grateful that Dr. Sadeghi not only saved my life, he made it possible for me to feel like a whole woman again! He is not only a talented surgeon, he is creative. He explains everything ahead of time so that the patient knows what to expect, what to do or not do. He considers all of the patients' concerns. Those patients to whom I've referred Dr. Sadeghi sing his praises. As a senior, I can't count the number of doctors I've seen in my lifetime. Dr. Ali Sadeghi is one of the nicest, most sincere, most creative, and most intelligent doctors I've ever had the experience to meet.

I was referred to Dr. Sadeghi by my sister who had a bilateral mastectomy and needed reconstruction. Unfortunately before she could have her surgery she found out her cancer had returned and was terminal. She told me how much she loved Dr. Sadeghi and how he took his time with her, answered all of her questions and that he made her feel like the most important patient he ever had. She asked me to please see him because I needed mastectomy and reconstruction also. At my first visit I could tell he really cared about my situation along with the nurse in the room. I left feeling like I found my doc. I had 4 surgeries due to complication from being a previous smoker and he took his time to make sure everything was taken care of so that my final result would be perfect. The office staff is wonderful and will take very good care of scheduling, getting your medications for you, and anything else you may need. After every visit and every surgery I left feeling like I was "the most important patient he ever had". I have finished my journey with this doctor and staff and must say I could NOT imagine going through this journey with any other group. If you are searching for a doctor with compassion, that expects nothing but the best of himself and takes the time to make sure you are happy with your results , this is your doctor. After having a lumpectomy and radiation in 2001 I never felt whole again and had a bad body image. I have to say I wish I had done this surgery sooner because I can finally look at myself and love my body again.
