Patient Care Compliments

  • "I had a fibroid surgery performed by Dr. Mehta, and I was truly in the best hands. He is extremely knowledgeable and has the best bedside manner. He and his staff made me feel incredibly comfortable during every visit and on the day of my surgery. He truly knows what he’s doing, and I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else. I also referred a friend to him for the same issue, and she was so grateful—she had an incredible experience as well! "
  • "I am writing to provide my highest recommendation for Dr. Mehta, a truly exceptional physician whose expertise and compassionate care have made a profound difference in my life. For months, I struggled with severe cramping and hemorrhaging that left me anemic and in constant discomfort. Despite my attempts to get help, I was told by my regular OBGYN that I would have to wait another four months before I could even be scheduled for surgery. The thought of enduring that level of suffering for so much longer was overwhelming and heartbreaking. Thankfully, my primary care physician referred me to Dr. Mehta, and I can confidently say it was one of the best recommendations I’ve ever received. From the moment I met Dr. Mehta, I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to listen to my concerns and genuinely empathized with my situation. In a world where many doctors are pressed for time and efficiency, Dr. Mehta truly stands out for his dedication to patient care. He is incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and kind, and his approach to medicine reflects a deep sense of compassion and professionalism. It is rare to find a doctor who genuinely listens and prioritizes the well-being of their patients as much as Dr. Mehta does. Not only is Dr. Mehta a knowledgeable and skilled physician, but he also takes the time to explain everything in a way that is clear and reassuring. His approach is both gentle and empowering, making me feel informed and supported every step of the way. I have no doubt that his care has been instrumental in my recovery. In short, Dr. Mehta is a rare gem in the medical field, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are seeking a compassionate, skilled, and genuinely caring physician, look no further than Dr. Mehta."
  • "I felt compelled to share my experience because I was truly impressed with Dr. Mehta’s care and expertise. As a PA, I have worked with many physicians, but I have never encountered a doctor as knowledgeable, skilled, and genuinely humble as Dr. Mehta. His compassionate approach and dedication to patient care set him apart. Dr. Mehta is not only a gifted surgeon but also a rare gem in the medical field!"
  • “Dr. Sukrant Mehta is truly one of the most compassionate and understanding doctors I have ever met. From the very first appointment, he took the time to listen to my concerns without rushing me, making me feel genuinely heard and cared for. He explains everything so clearly, making even the most complex medical details easy to understand. His patience and kindness make all the difference, and you can tell he truly cares about his patients, not just as cases but as people. It's rare to find a doctor who combines such deep expertise with an incredible bedside manner, and I feel so lucky to have found him. If you’re looking for a doctor who will treat you with respect, empathy, and the utmost professionalism, Dr. Mehta is the one. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
  • "I feel unbelievably blessed and privileged to have been placed in the gifted hands of Dr. Sukrant Mehta. Dr. Mehta is an extraordinarily excellent Doctor, in my opinion, the absolute best! I am so grateful that I found him to take care of me. Dr. Mehta has incredibly warm energy and is very attentive, patient, kind, thorough and very pleasant to be around. He is undeniably wicked smart, and a total Master in his field of expertise. The complicated and intense issue that I was dealing with due to a very large, and invasive fibroid was taken very seriously and with the most focused and mindful care. Every experience and appointment with Doctor Mehta was and will always be a very happy memory because I finally felt that I was going to be taken care of with complete respect, compassion and whatever time it needed to take. I will always remember his enthusiasm and genuine happiness from the results of my major surgery. The second he drew back the curtain when I was about to go under for surgery, his radiant smile immediately put me at ease, and I knew I was going to be more than OK! After my major surgery, his continued thoughtfulness and concern and care just made me feel better and better about having such a big surgery. My life has completely changed, and I feel so much better and honestly like a brand new person! I cannot thank Dr. Mehta enough, and I will always be eternally grateful for him. I must take a moment to thank as many wonderful people as I can remember that were a big part of my surgery morning. The nurses and staff at UCLA Medical Center were AMAZING! Thank you to Jeffrey, Ani, Kat, Maggie, Loren, Caroline, Jenny, Gisel, Amy, Ann, Marie, Raquel and I am so sorry for whomever I missed. God bless you all."
  • "Dr. Mehta's dedication to medical education, especially within the context of gynecologic surgery, deserves recognition and continued institutional support. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from him, and I know many future students would benefit from his guidance as well. (Medical Student Angelina Wei)"
