I just recently had parathyroid surgery with Dr. Harari in January 2016. The staff and Dr. Harari made me feel very comfortable and they all were very competent and caring. I used their distance service since I was coming from Reno, NV. I saw Dr. Harari and had my CT scan on Friday, had surgery the next Tuesday, saw Dr. Harari again the next Friday and then was able to fly home. Despite having problems with finding my parathyroids and having a low calcium level for a couple of weeks, everything is going fine now. My scar, about 2 inches, is healing well, still a little pink, but looking better every day. I am so glad that I chose UCLA for my surgery, as I feel that the local surgeon may have had a challenge with my case. I really wanted a place that does hundreds of these surgeries every year. Dr. Harari was very good at explaining the testing, the surgery, and the healing. Will have my lab tests repeated in March and then again in 3 months. I am hoping that my osteoporosis will be greatly improved in a year since that was the main reason for having the surgery. My primary doctor told me that I had the bones of a 70 year old and I am only 54. Thanks again UCLA Endocrine Surgery for a job well done.
