Patient Reviews - Magdi Alexander MD - Magdi Alexander MD - General Surgeon in Pasadena California

Back in September, I was in need of a hernia repair procedure. My appointments were clean, efficient and thorough. Through my first visit, Dr. Magdi recommended that I have the robotic approach performed for my needs. This was the first time I had ever heard of the use of a robot in performing this type of surgery. Granted, this was my first surgery ever in my life, I had nothing to compare. Knowing the type of person I am, I had a lot of questions, but every answer led me to the same feeing I had about originally. I was all for it. The nurse practitioner; Kaya was in my room right away going over the procedure, and scheduling a date for the procedure.

The day came and went. I was in at 8A and was released by 3:30P. My post recovery was quick and almost painless. My scarring is very minimal with only three, 3/4″ incision sites on my upper stomach with little to no discoloration.

Dr. Magdi and NP Kayla are an amazing team with great experience and takes the patient care first.

I needed to have my gallbladder removed. I had put it off for years and delt with the painful episodes my large gallstones caused. I was nervous about the procedure because I am obese and a friend had just gone through a nightmare with her gallbladder surgery. Dr. Alexander spent time with me discussing the procedure in detail. He made me aware of any complications that might arise due to my weight. The surgery went great, I went home the same day. I never needed pain meds. I was able to walk with ease, take care of minor chores around the house and I even returned to work the next week after my staples were removed. I did well thanks to Dr. Alexander.

Kayla got me right in and Dr Alexander saw me right away when others offered appointments weeks down the road. He made the diagnosis right away then gave me three options for treatment. I chose the least invasive procedure offered, which was a quick in and out minor operation. As promised recovery was within 72 hours. This doctor is easy going, funny, and no nonsense. He uses a lot of analogies to make you understand your current problem and what he proposes to do about it. Thank you Dr A.

My experience with Dr. Alexander from beginning to end was fantastic. He was caring, thoughtful, truthful, and you just felt at ease with him. He never seemed rush and would answer all my questions. I am so grateful to him and how he has changed my life.

Lisa M. I cannot thank Dr. Alexander and his staff enough. After two weeks of pain and visits to urgent care, my primary physician, and an ER, I brought my test results to Dr. Alexander. He made time for an emergency visit, and let me know the reason for my severe pain was a faulty gallbladder. He had an excellent bedside manner and took the time to answer every question I had. I work full time and am pursuing my PhD, and was in such pain I could not work. Dr. Alexander (and the fabulous nurse).

I had a great experience with Dr. Alexander. Fearful of surgery for many years, he made me feel at ease and comfortable with my situation. Pre-op and surgery was a success. Didn’t feel a thing before and after surgery. Dr. Alexander is the best.

I was in so much pain, wasn’t able to work for a month. Doctors who kept treating my hemroids only as an infection i was tired so i found Dr. A who specializes in hemroids, i was happy to see him on my first visit he knew right away it was more than an infection. Finally found a doctor who knew what had to be done next! Got outpatient surgery same week. No hassle! i am over joyed and right after surgery i felt so much better! no pressure on my stomach or pain on my bottom! Was able to sit w/o crying!

Saw Dr Alexander regarding an issue that had been bothering me and giving me much pain for months. He did a fantastic job repairing it and had me back on my feet within a few days after surgery. He’s an excellent surgeon. Additionally, his office staff was very patient and compassionate with me, answering a myriad of questions I had. They made me feel calm and confident about the procedure. So thank you to Kayla as well.

I was nervous and Dr. Alexander was very kind the day of surgery. I was up walking later the day of surgery, and within a week was able to return to work. I am so grateful that I found him.

I think the reason for so few reviews here is that most post theirs on Vitals or Healthgrades.  If you need laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, I cannot recommend him enough!
