Amir Tahernia, MD, FACS

I can only say how wonderful Dr. Tahernia is. He has absolutely the best bedside manor. He’s very considerate, caring and supportive when it comes to his patients. My surgery went extremely well and all my other Dr’s were very impressed with his work. When I first saw Dr. Tahernia he acted as if he knew me for awhile. Made us feel welcome and assured me that it would all be fine. He told me exactly what he was gonna do and what I didn’t understand he made sure I did. I don’t think I could of found anyone better. Dr. Tahernia I don’t know how to Thank You for your work well done.

I was so lucky to come across Dr Tahernia online when looking for a surgeon to help me with HS, this debilitating painful disease. Right off the bat with the first phone call, office staff Gina was professional, sweet and accommodating to our schedule. Our consultation went well with Dr. Tahernia, he is professional but also down to earth, he is truly a very special person with a kind heart to be honest. I trusted him and knew his plan was on track (I knew this because I did my research before hand) He is understanding and knows what approach take, he explains everything in detail. Which made my husband and I very comfortable. My family loves Dr. Tahernia to pieces, they are grateful and happy to see me healing!
My experience has been a very humbling just knowing that the pain I was in prior to seeing Dr. Tahernia is now non existent from HS. It’s great not even having to remember the HS pain at all. If you are suffering with HS start your healing process! You will not regret seeing Dr. Tahernia.

Words can’t describe Dr. Ta Hernia, «simply amazing». He is truly gifted and will change your life for the better if you give him the opportunity.

I thought that I was going to have to live with HS (which is a horrible and painful disease) for the rest of my life, but after my first visit with Dr. Tahernia I was given hope that I would not have to suffer anymore. This has definitely not been an easy road to go down, but with Dr. Tahernia having such a positive outlook on everything it has helped tremendously. He has wonderful bedside manor and takes his time to listen to you. If you are suffering from HS please call him, you will be happy you did. It has only been 3 months since my last procedure and I feel like I have my life back.

To put it short: I learned more about HS in 10 minutes with Dr. Tahernia than I did with the months I spent at various dermatologists. The guy is without a doubt the best HS specialist in the country (and I’m not the only one who thinks so)
I was nervous going in to see a specialist about HS, which is already a weird disease to discuss, but Dr. Tahernia was amazingly friendly, polite, and professional. He sat me down, explained how his surgery process works, how the recovery would be, and was very patient with me through the process. He’s an expert in HS and I really do recommend him to anyone who is tired of living with Hidradenitis.

Dr. Amir Tahernia is an accomplished, dedicated and talented plastic surgeon who truly cares about his patients. I actually went to Dr. Tahernia because of the positive reviews I read online. He knew immediately that I had trigger finger and upon first meeting him, he was smart, kind, dedicated and went over all the information I needed. I first started with a cortisone shot, but one year later. as explained, I needed to have the simple surgery which would correct my trigger finger.
Prior to starting my procedure, Dr. Tahernia took his time to thoroughly explain the procedure and the process involved for desired results. I had a clear understanding of what was involved and was fully comfortable with the plan he had tailored specifically to address my problem area. I am so grateful to him for all his help. Not only is he an amazing plastic surgeon, he is an incredible human being with a deep desire to help people. He is a kind and compassionate individual who genuinely cares about his patients. It only takes one meeting with him to know that he is very passionate about what he is doing and takes pride in his work, let alone a very, very very smart doctor. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Tahernia and his staff for helping me. It goes without saying I would highly recommend him. I will be going back to him for other cosmetic procedures. I already sent my sister and she was equally happy.

Dr. Tahernia was wonderful. I was seeking a doctor for Botox and was pretty nervous, as it was my first time, but Dr. Tahernia was great. He was super friendly, which put me at ease, and offered his expert opinion on how to go about achieving the look I wanted. It definitely was not pain-​free, but they applied numbing gel so it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I am very happy with the results and look forward to my next appointment!

Dr. Tahernia is not just a plastic surgeon, he is a kind hearted, caring and down to earth HERO. My husband had rectal cancer that required major surgery, radiation and chemotherapy and we found Dr. Tahernia by recommendation of his colorectal surgeon. Before we found him, we had consultations with over 7 plastic surgeons all over the state of California and not a single one of them put us at ease about their ability to do such a big surgery and instill TRUST in us about their interest in his OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLNESS. When you are dealing with something as scary as a cancer diagnosis can be, you need to find a team of people that are on your side, share your values and gives you a sense of hope. And that is what we found when we brought Dr. Tahernia along with us on this crazy journey.
From the moment I picked up the phone to schedule an appointment the dynamic changed completely compared to the other plastic surgeons we had seen previously. His staff is unparalleled (Gina is a tremendous asset to the office), she extended the same courteous, kind, warm and caring treatment that the Dr. has from the very beginning of my husbands road to recovery.
My husband never felt like a cancer patient, he was treated like a human being and was blown away by the Dr. Tahernia’s warmth, positivity, optimism and uncompromised care. I was incredibly moved by his genuine kindness and good nature. He remained actively involved in my husbands recovery, never once was unavailable for a post-​op appointment and we never felt like he was just trying to get rid of us to move on to the next case.
He is the best plastic surgeon around because he has a 360 degree approach to his profession. You cannot teach the innate qualities that Dr. Tahernia possesses and that is why we will be forever GRATEFUL for him.
Don’t hesitate because he is the man for the job!

I’m currently uninsured. After a hellish and emotional day on the phone with multiple hand specialists in LA, I finally found Gina, Dr. Tahernia’s receptionist, on the other end.
Dr. Tahernia helped me work within my budget and still provided me with exceptional care. I ended up having a minor hand injury which he diagnosed quickly. The compassion, empathy, and peace of mind I received in his office made the previous day’s agony worth it.

I met Dr Tahernia after an unfortunate accident in which my daughter required stitches. He has been absolutely lovely and the scar is minimal which can be attributed to his being a very skilled surgeon. I would recommend Dr Tahernia and I would give him more stars if I could.

Dr. Tahernia saw my wife, Liz, in emergency at St. John’s after she fell and tore her forehead badly. He was a total calming influence. She relaxed, talked with him as he worked and now one week later – stitches out, healing continues and she is confident that there will be very little scaring. It is not just the quality of his work, but the fabulous attitude and personal relations that make Dr. Amir a God send for us.
Thank you Dr. Tahernia for being there when we most need you!

Dr. Tahernia is simply amazing. In November 2010, I had an accident and had multiple pieces of glass in my hand which led to transected tendons, arteries, and veins. St. Josephs sent me home and told me to come back 48 hours later to see a hand surgeon, but I was in so much pain I was rushed to Cedars. Dr. Tahernia was my surgeon, and 3 years later, I have regained 100% use of my hand. The big scar down the middle of my palm has taught me a valuable lesson and made me appreciate life that much more. Without Dr. Tahernia, I may not have use of my left hand today. I am so thankful. His bedside manner is awesome. And my insurance severely underpaid him, and he didn’t take it out on me. I work in the medical field with a lot of prominent Drs in the same area as Dr. Tahernia’s office and I promise you that you will not find a Dr. much better than him.

Dr. Tahernia is AMAZING! He was recommended to me by a friend who had her breasts done (and they look fantastic!). I have been seeing him for a little «sprucing up» here and there. I absolutely love him, professional, compassionate and most importantly attentive!

Dr. Amir Tahernia is a gifted, kind, and empathetic physician. Several other Drs agreed that I would need a skin graft to treat a deep wound. Dr. Tahernia said that if I followed. his instructions, and had patience. the wound would heal and that is what happened. My deep, painful wound has healed to a healthy scar. I am deeply grateful and recommend this skilled plastic surgeon to everyone with need.

I went to see Dr Tahernia when my daughter was biten in the face by a dog. She is 10 years old. We thought she had possibly lost her eye. He was incredible. He held steady, he was able to calm us down and get my daughter to the point of relaxing enough so that he could do his magic. I thought she was going to be scarred for life, but she isnt. After a month and a half you can barley see the puncture wound or the stiches along her eye. I can’t say enough about him. He is a wonderful surgeon. His work is impeccable, his bedside manner is unbelievable and his follow up is top notch. We got phone calls for days to make sure that it was healing properly. We were given precise instructions on how to keep it clean and how to keep it from scarring. He reassured my daughter a million times that it would be okay and along the way he had stories to keep her from getting upset. When we went in for the follow up appts, his staff was kind and accomodating and we were seen right away. I can not recommend him enough. He is wonderful. He literally is as good as it gets!

I highly recommend Dr. Tahernia for any cosmetic surgery! His work is amazing. I am extremely happy with my breast augmentation. He is very personable, honest and truly cares about your well being. I have recommended Dr. Tahernia to many of my girlfriends and they to are more than happy with their results. I could go on and on about how amazing Dr. Tahernia is! If you are considering any type beauty enhancement go see Dr. Tahernia!

One of my girlfriends went to Dr. Tahernia for a breast augmentation, and let me tell you… THEY LOOK AMAZING!!!
His work is impeccable, and having gone to consultations and pre-​op appointments with my friend, I’ve been able to interact with Dr. Tahernia myself. He has amazing bedside manner, and really truly cares about his patients. He’s not like most plastic surgeons in Los Angeles who are extremely cocky and arrogant. Dr. Tahernia is very humble, professional, and pleasant.
Highly recommended to anyone considering anything from fillers, to botox, to a tummy tuck, face lift, etc. You name it… he does it!
