Dr. Iqbal is an excellent surgeon with the kindest personality and a fabulous sense of humor to make anyone feel at ease when having to discuss such intimate medical issues. I had a double hernia for which doctor performed a type of surgery that only required 3 small incisions through my belly button and lower area. Only because is he highly trained in his field, was he able to do this type of surgery on a hernia and not have to cut me open with a long recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Iqbal not only for his surgical expertis... read more
I was diagnosed with GERDS when I was 18 years old and suffered from severe acid reflux and heartburn for 6 years. I was referred to Dr. Iqbal and from the very first meeting he was caring, knowledgeable, and nurturing to my symptoms. He recommended a couple tests which confirmed that I had a pretty severe hiatal hernia in my esophagus. Dr. Iqbal performed Nissen fundoplication surgery and skillfully repaired my stomach and esophagus. Not only is he extremely talented but he is also thoughtful with his patients. Due to insur... read more
Diagnosed in July 2015 with severe Barrett's Esophagus and a hiatal hernia, I underwent a esophageal manometry to determine if I was eligible for surgery to correct my hernia, but more importantly to stop any more acid from entering my esophagus, as I already had acid damage there and in my lungs. Since my condition was at the severe stage, the next progression would have been cancer, and this one is fatal. The results came back that I was eligible for surgery so off I went to Dr. Iqbal. Right away I could see his passion fo... read more
I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure about 7 years ago and was on 6 different medications at the time that I met Dr. Iqbal in February 2014. It took my primary physician 3 years to convince me that weight loss surgery was my best option. Dr. Iqbal is a such a kind and patient person who answered my questions and was very good at calming my fears about my upcoming surgery. He was very encouraging and supportive. I had my surgery on April 2nd. Having surgery saved my life. During surgery, he found that my heart medica... read more
I've had heart burn ever since I got married, started to gain weight, and had a stressful job. So I would just live it and pop some antacids until it would go away for a while. It got to he point where I had to carry antacid pills with me all the time. After I retired I finally decided to do something about my GERD. I wasn't even sure that's what it was until I met Dr.Iqbal and he suggested a whole battery of tests to confirm what I suspected. After it was confirmed that I had the disease, he gave me some choices as to how t... read more
I was referred to Dr Iqbal for a possible hernia. I visited him on August 24th. He exam-ed me, and said I had a slight hernia, but he also discussed the possibility of weight loss surgery. He showed me all 3 surgeries that he performs and explained how each one works. He recommended the Gastric Sleeve for me. I was really excited about this, as I have been battling Obesity for many years. I weighed 304lbs at the time I first started the whole process. I went to the Fountain Valley Surgical Weight loss program and went throug... read more
I have had severe GERD for many years. I kept getting bounced back and forth between physicians before I found Dr. Iqbal.. I was pleasantly suprised at how helpful and knowledge he was about GERD and all of the side effects I was experiencing. He was more than willing to accomodate and help me in any way possible. I was able to get all of my tests done and surgery within just weeks of consulting with him. The surgery went AMAZING. I could not be happier. My reflux has dimished and I am having way less problems. The staff was... read more
I had the gastric sleeve surgery. I was asked to be there at 5:30 am and didn't even get to preop until 9 am. The nurses originally called back the wrong patient even showing me the patients wrist band with name and info (hello hippa violation) then when I was finally seen Dr Iqbal came in and told me I had a lapband that needed to be removed and then we were doing sleeve. I said no, I don't have a lapband. He said yes, Dr Jones put in a lapband and we are to remove it. I said NO! I don't have a lapband. He then looks at my ... read more
If I could rate Dr. Iqbal with a higher rating that 5 stars, I would!!! He is the nicest and most compassionate surgeon ever! I was diabetic for 5 years and did not feel well. My health was deteriorating and I was having trouble keeping up with my then 18 year old daughter. I was referred to Dr. Iqbal by my primary care physician to explore the option of gastric bypass surgery to cure my diabetes. He was so nice and so knowledgeable during the consultation that I immediately felt at easy and knew that this was the way to go ... read more
