Lalezari Surgical
Verified listingAbout Lalezari Surgical
Lalezari Surgical is a bariatric surgical practice at 1245 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 907, Los Angeles, that runs a medical weight-loss service alongside endoscopic procedures. It bills insurance rather than selling cash-pay packages, and it publishes no self-pay price of any kind. If you are shopping for a posted monthly GLP-1 cost, this is not that sort of clinic.
## What does the practice do?
The weight-loss page covers both drugs and procedures. Named procedures include endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, published as EndoSleeve, AspireAssist, a gastric balloon, intragastric Botox injections, Plenity and transoral outlet reduction (TORe). The medication list is long: semaglutide (Wegovy and Ozempic), tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound), liraglutide (Saxenda), phentermine (Adipex-P and Lomaira), phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia), naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave), orlistat (Xenical and Alli), setmelanotide (Imcivree), oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) and retatrutide, which is an investigational compound rather than an approved product. The same page discusses supplement ingredients such as green tea extract and glucomannan, but discusses them as ingredients rather than as things prescribed here.
## What does it cost?
No price exists on this site. There is no consultation fee, no program price, no per-injection or per-month medication figure and no membership tier. The semaglutide page deflects the question directly, saying "The cost of Semaglutide can vary depending on your insurance coverage". That is the closest the site comes to a number.
## How is care paid for?
Through insurance, as published. The financing and insurances page says "We proudly accept all major Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans." and names ten payers: MultiPlan, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Oscar Health, Medicare, Angeles IPA, Blue Shield of California, Korean American Medical Group, Preferred IPA of California and Good Samaritan Medical Practice Association. The same page adds that "Many insurance plans cover medical weight loss consultations and some medications", and offers financing options and payment plans. It publishes no cash or self-pay rate at all.
## Who is the surgeon, and where are the offices?
One clinician is named. The service page publishes the credential string "Dr. Sepehr Lalezari, MD, FACS". His dedicated bio page names no credentials in a single string and lists no board certification at all, giving instead an education narrative: UCLA magna cum laude in neuroscience, a Johns Hopkins bariatric and minimally invasive fellowship, and training in Florida, New York, California and at the Mayo Clinic. The site publishes a tenure claim of eight years of specialized bariatric work. Two addresses appear on the site: the Wilshire Blvd office above, and a second at 432 E 10th St, Long Beach, CA 90813. Hours are identical at both, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm.
## What we could not confirm
Telehealth is not mentioned anywhere, with no virtual-visit language, no state list and no online consultation flow. No service area is published beyond the two office addresses. No commitment or cancellation terms exist, no eligibility statement is published, and no step-by-step process is laid out. Checked on 22 September 2026.
