Gregg Kai Nishi, MD, FACS

One of the top surgeons in the world (yes, that’s tight folks, this man is global), I had multiple hernia surgery from this incredible surgeon who is truly a pioneer of his craft. Multiple hernias is being fixed through a single incision robotic surgery is no easy feat! Best end side manner ever! Thanks to the expert skill and life saving determination of this man, I am well and fully recovered. He gave me my life back and for this I’m forever grateful!

I had Dr. Nishi for my hernia surgery and he was just awesome. Great guy, very fun and professional, and probably the best guy for the job in LA.
I made a video about my experience so you can see his work first-​hand!

Dr. Nishi is one awesome dude. I saw him at the Beverly Hills Hernia Institute for my hernia repair. From start to finish between kind reception, attentive nurses, and a highly skilled and experienced doctor I could not have been in better hands. Dr. Nishi was able to diagnose and treat me in a very timely manner and with minimal incision. The hernia surgery was an absolute success I highly recommend him!

My 23 year old son had been ill for many years with several serious medical problems, some of which were identified, others of which remained undiagnosed. His condition was frequently life-​threatening, and he required dozens of ICU hospitalizations. Having spent years with many reputable physicians in well-​known and well-​respected hospitals throughout the country who unsuccessfully tried to identify and resolve his medical problems, my son didn’t have much confidence in ever being well.
My son was introduced to Khalili Center’s Dr. Gregg Nishi, named 2013’s «Top Bariatrician in the Nation» by HealthTap, and the Director of the Institute for Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery at K and B Surgical Center by Dr. Omid Shaye, Co-​Director of Gastroenterology Associates at Beverly Hills. Dr. Nishi performed surgery on my son in March, 2014.

Prior to surgery, my son felt hopeless; he was extremely ill and very weak most of the time, vomiting profusely and often (which impacted his other health conditions) and never felt «well.» He couldn’t ever make plans to do things with friends; holiday and travel plans were routinely cancelled.
Today, thanks to our «team» (Dr. Shaye, Dr. Nishi and their gracious and helpful staff members, all of whom took a personal interest in my son and our family), my son is well, happy, socially active, and able to travel and make plans with family and friends. He is re-​enrolled in college (after being forced three times to withdraw for medical reasons.) He just traveled cross-​country for a wedding, is currently on vacation, and will be attending a family reunion next week. NONE of this was previously possible, and he told me yesterday that he doesn’t believe he’d still be alive if it weren’t for these two doctors and family support.
Dr. Shaye and Dr. Nishi achieved what no other physicians were able to, and are quite literally «life-​savers.» There is no way we can ever adequately thank them…

Dr. Nishi is the best. I came to him because my pcp told me I need to have my gallbladder taken out. He speaks very intelligently and automatically was able to put me at ease about my impending surgery. He has pioneered new techniques so that when they take out my gallbladder there won’t be a scar. How cool. I would never say I am looking forward to major surgery, but he was instrumental in making sure that I understand the procedure and am comfortable with the process. I will definitely recommend any friends and family to him if God forbid they ever need general or weight loss surgery.

10 STARS FOR DR. NISHI
If you’re reading Unilocal reviews looking for bariatric surgeons, you should look no further than Dr. Gregg Kai Nishi and the Khalili Center for Bariatric Care. Not only is Dr. Nishi a board certified surgeon who excels in laparoscopic surgery, but also he’s trained as a ER/​Trauma surgeon too. You are in very skilled hands!
After four years as a patient of Dr. Nishi’s I know there is no one better suited to help me on my weight loss surgery journey. Dr. Nishi has been there as my surgeon, my biggest supporter and he has also been there when I needed to be redirected on a healthier path! He is very personable, nice and he always puts me at ease with the way he explains things. When I was confused about the different surgeries, he went above and beyond to explain each procedure (with so much patience!) and he even introduced me to patients so I could hear what life would be like after surgery. That was amazing help — FYI, I chose a RNY gastric bypass.
In addition to his expertise in weight loss surgery, Dr. Nishi has been a tremendous resource with his understanding of obesity. What I now know is the surgery is a very effective tool, but to achieve lasting and long term weight loss — — I also had to implement a much healthier way of life. Dr. Nishi, and the Khalili Center Support Program, have guided me on this journey ever step of the way!
I have much gratitude for Dr. Nishi as he has always treated me with dignity and respect… and most of all, he gave me hope (when I had none) that I could achieve my goals and dreams And, four years later, he is right! With Dr. Nishi’s guidance, I am living a life I had never imagined possible! Thank you Dr. Nishi and the Khalili Center.

Awesome Doctor and Person! He’s very trust worthy and knowledgable! Best in his field!
