About Dr. Michael Feiz and Associates

What is Dr. Michael Feiz and Associates?

Dr. Michael Feiz and Associates is a bariatric surgery practice, so weight loss surgery is its main business. It has offices in Beverly Hills, Valencia, Rancho Cucamonga, Victorville and Palmdale. The prescribing surgeons are Michael Feiz, FACS, M.D. and Sean Rim, M.D., and the clinic describes both as board certified bariatric surgeons. Its surgical services include sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, Lap Band and Lap Band Revision to Sleeve, along with gallbladder surgery, anti-reflux surgery and hiatal hernia repair.

Medication is a smaller part of the practice. If a patient does not qualify for weight loss surgery, it can discuss an at-home treatment using once weekly semaglutide injections. Its weight loss program also includes lifestyle coaching with nutritionists and therapists, blood work every three months, and lifetime follow-up care with the team. The clinic cites 30 years of experience.

This listing is for its Beverly Hills office at 433 N. Camden Dr. Suite 550.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, for surgery or for the semaglutide treatment. The consultation and its informational seminars are listed as free. In its own words: "We accept most PPO insurance plans," and it offers free insurance verification. Patients without insurance can apply for financing with flexible payment plans. The clinic does not say whether the medication is included in any price, so ask for the full monthly or program cost in writing before you agree to anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and manages the semaglutide prescription. The clinic names Michael Feiz and Sean Rim, but it does not say which of them, or anyone else, prescribes the at-home treatment. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and the blood work cost, and whether the every-three-months lab schedule is included. Ask whether any part of the program can be handled by telehealth, since the clinic does not say.

The clinic lists several offices, but it does not say which one would handle your care. It also writes about towns such as Oxnard and Encino, yet lists no office in either. Ask which office you would visit, and how the commitment works and how to cancel.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are considering a bariatric operation and want surgeons involved in your care, as long as you get the costs in writing first. If you were told you don't qualify for surgery, the at-home semaglutide option is worth a call, but only after you have clear answers about the prescriber, the medication and the price.
