What Our Patients Are Saying
I had an awesome experience and can’t recommend this place enough. Dr. Basseri was incredibly informative, kind, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. His staff was just as friendly and professional, and together they created a really positive environment.
They took the time to explain everything they were going to do, which made a huge difference in easing any nerves I had. The procedure itself was handled with great expertise, and I felt confident I was in the best hands. Honestly, getting this surgery was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life and I cannot thank him and his team enough. If you’re thinking about it, I highly recommend moving forward with Dr. Basseri and his team.

Getting ETS Surgery With Dr. Basseri in 2022 was without a doubt the worst decision I have ever made. The clamping method is not reversible as directly advertised on the center’s website. (I had my clamps out one month post-original operation) and the side effects have been and continue to be drastically and distressingly worse than communicated by Dr. Basseri and his team. Daily discomfort I did not know prior to the surgery. Not a single say goes by that I do not regret making the decision to trust this doctor over 3 years ago. Do not trust this practice. They white-wash the reality of ETS surgery.

I truly cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Basseri and his team. I have suffered from hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember, and it has affected so many parts of my life. I had almost accepted that this was just something I would have to live with forever as I had exhausted every possible treatment option over the last handful of years. I had only heard about ETS as an intervention and of this center last year and I can honestly say the entire experience has been better than I could have imagined. Everyone I’ve spoken to from start to end has been incredibly kind and informative!
Of course, I knew before surgery that my sweating made my everyday life hard, but I do not think I fully realized just how much it had taken over my life until I finally experienced what it was like to no longer have to think about it constantly. Having dry hands now has been genuinely life-changing. It is such an incredible feeling to do normal everyday things without that constant worry in the back of my mind. I do not have to think about handshakes, touching things, holding things, or whether someone will notice. It feels like such a weight has been lifted off of me. I didn’t realize just how anxious it always made me. Something that used to affect me every single day, every waking hour, is no longer controlling my life in the same way.
I am beyond thankful to Dr. Basseri and his team for that. This has been one of the most meaningful and life-changing decisions I have made, and my only regret is that I did not find out about this center and pursue surgery sooner.
I’m hoping I’ll get to treat my plantar hyperhidrosis with this center someday too!
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Basseri and his team without hesitation to anyone struggling with hyperhidrosis, seriously!!

*****This Surgery Gave Me My Life Back
I have lived with severe hyperhidrosis since I was 15 years old. If you don’t suffer from it, it’s hard to understand how much it can control your life. My hands armpits and feet were constantly cold and soaking wet. Simple EVERYDAY things most people take for granted — shaking someone’s hand, holding hands, typing, picking out clothes or shoes— filled me with anxiety and embarrassment. I missed out on opportunities and avoided situations because I was so self-conscious.
After years of living like that, I finally had ETS and ELS surgery with Dr.Eraj Basseri at the Center for Hyperhidrosis — and it truly changed my life.
For the first time since I was a teenager, my hands, armpits and feet are dry. I can shake someone’s hand with confidence. I can hold my husband’s or my child’s hand, I don’t see my shirt drenched at the armpits, I can wear open toed shoes! I can actually go to work without feeling mortified. I’m no longer constantly cold and sweaty, and I finally feel like I have control over my own body again.
I cannot thank Dr. Basseri enough, and I am also deeply grateful to Dr. Rafael Reisfeld for pioneering this life-changing procedure. What they do for patients with hyperhidrosis is nothing short of incredible.
I also want to recognize the amazing staff — Rebecca, Natalia, Sandra, and Katrin — who went to hell and back dealing with my insurance company to make sure this surgery could happen. Their persistence and support meant everything to me.
Hyperhidrosis is something many people don’t know about, but for those of us who live with it, it can be incredibly isolating and life-limiting. If sharing my story helps even one person realize there is a solution and there are doctors who truly understand this condition, then it’s worth it.
This surgery gave me confidence, freedom, and a sense of normalcy that I never thought I would experience.
I will be forever grateful.

It’s hard to fully express how grateful I am for Dr. Basseri and Dr. Reisfeld.
They were the only people who had even the slightest clue of how debilitating hyperhydrosis is, especially in the hands. In fact, I didn’t even understand how bad it really was until I started reflecting about it — the hands was becoming unbearable and I was seeking solutions – tried ionto for hands and pits – tried botox for arms as well.
If I would have listened to other people I wouldn’t have got the surgery. Everyone said not to, but I knew I needed it. They all said, you won’t sweat at all from the nipples up, uh… wrong! In fact my face used to go crazy sweaty sometimes and that has been fixed as well.
I get a Light forehead sweat when eating spicy food although I’ve never been able to handle the cayenne really 😅 I can use hand lotion, enjoy driving a car and typing without my keyboard getting wet, etc etc etcccc…..
I used to sweat from my armpits excessively which was a huge problem – I mean from pits to darn near waist just dripping all the time so cold changing shirts all day just awful.
Dr. Basseri has a technique for the armpits in combination with the face that is working wonders.
I really love fashion and I can wear any shirt I want now. This could seem arbitrary and vein, however , wearing black all the time might hide the sweat but black also absorbs all the energy from your environment which isn’t good sometimes.
It so nice to wear all white. Its nice to wear clothing i like and not even think about it.
Shaking people’s hands is awesome. It’s hard to even describe what a relief it’s been.
I’m about 6 months post op and I feel like my brain is fully adjusted and I feel amazing.
It’s important to rest afterward and let your body and mind adjust. I still have dreams where my hands are sweaty but then I know I’m dreaming! Such a gigantic relief!!!
A special thanks to my nurse Ms. Tara 🙏 She immediately put my mind at ease, with her humble confidence and calming presence.
It couldn’t have went any better. It went perfectly. Everyone was kind and attentive and the atmosphere was peaceful.
If you’re suffering like a MFer like I was, just go do it. Try and get insurance to pay for it and just do it. You’ll be soar a couple days n that’s that.
Thank you Dr. Basseri!!! Truly life changing!

Dr. Basseri and his entire team have been nothing short of life-changing. From my very first consultation, I was impressed not only by his exceptional clinical expertise but also by the professionalism, kindness, and dedication of every staff member in the office. The facility is immaculate, modern, and welcoming, creating a level of confidence and comfort that is hard to find.
What sets Dr. Basseri apart is his commitment to his patients. When insurance obstacles stood in the way of my treatment, he and his team refused to give up. They fought tirelessly on my behalf, navigated the appeals process, and ultimately won approval for the care I desperately needed. Their persistence and advocacy changed the course of my life.
As an ETS/ELS surgeon, Dr. Basseri’s skill and experience are truly remarkable. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I only wish I had done this years ago. The improvement in my quality of life has been profound, and I am incredibly grateful for the care I received every step of the way.
If you are considering treatment, I cannot recommend Dr. Basseri highly enough. You are not just another patient to him and his team—they genuinely care, they listen, they advocate for you, and they deliver outstanding results. Thank you, Dr. Basseri, for giving me a new level of freedom and confidence that I never thought possible. Five stars are simply not enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Basseri and the ENTIRE team at the The Center of Hyperhidrosis deserve the world! They completely changed my life from when I first saw them in November of 2024, to when I had my last surgery in January of this year. They honestly made me feel so special and safe, I specifically remember them being so personable and kind. I truthfully don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am to Dr. and the whole team, absolute, beautiful angels!!

M
Milayt Martinez
Can’t express the gratitude I have for Dr. B and his entire team at the center of hyperhidrosis!! I got both ELS and ETS done and have been living my intended best life since. I have very minimal compensatory sweating that only happens when I am working out, or it’s a million degrees outside, which is normal for all humans. I waited so many years, scared to pull the trigger and change my life. If I could give any advice to others thinking of getting the surgery, I would look at the research and outcome statistics because they speak for themselves.

Ivy Lynch _ Staff – CounselStudentSrv
I had ETS surgery in July of 2023, and I could not speak more highly about this office. All of the staff members are very encouraging and helpful, and no time is wasted. Before going into surgery Dr. Basseri explains exactly what the process is like, and what will take place. The team cares very well for each patient and they work at getting you to feel your best as soon as possible. This office has definitely perfected this procedure, and I am so grateful that I was able to get this ETS surgery. I am so very thankful for this office, the doctors, nurses, and staff, and all of their care because they have changed my life!
M
Maranda Prins
It’s almost been a year since my ETS surgery and I’m still thrilled with the results. Recovery took about two weeks and the “side effects” have been minimal. I’ll sweat a bit on my stomach and groin area now when I’m really hot or anxious, but it feels like normal people sweating. It’s so minimal and I’d do the surgery again in a heartbeat. My hands are still completely dry and I even have to use lotion! lol. I couldn’t recommend this place or Doctor Basseri enough. He reached out to me multiple times after surgery and always text me back when I had a concern. The entire team was patient and took great care of me! They worked with my insurance company and I was able to get the surgery for less than $1000. If you’ve been thinking about it, do it!

Wow, I cannot say enough good things about the incredible experience I had with Dr. Basseri and his staff. I got back home to Georgia yesterday after having the ETS procedure for my hands earlier this week, and every aspect of the experience far exceeded my highest expectations heading in. There is truly no embellishment in all of the incredible feedback that you read from other patients about Dr. Basseri and his staff. The testimonials you watch and read don’t exaggerate the experience or the feeling coming out of the procedure at all, what you see and read is truly what you get. Dr. Basseri is truly a cut above and I couldn’t be more grateful for my experience with him and the impact this will have on my life.
I have coped with excessively sweaty hands since Kindergarten, and for the better part of the past 30 years. Pretty much everything you read that other people experienced with sweaty hands, that was me too. I tried all other treatment options throughout my life, and had finally resolved myself to the fact that I would just have to manage my symptoms as best as possible with medication (glycopyrollate) for the rest of my life. Even on the best days, the effects of the medication would wear off at the worst times, give me horrible cotton mouth, or have no effect at all. As a professional, every handshake with a colleague or new client brought about concern that my handshake would convey fear, or a lack of confidence and ability. I was forever going to be the guy with sweaty hands that would try to avoid interactions where my wet hands would become apparent to those around me, or I’d have to give some awkward explanation that people still found odd. I had honestly taken for granted how much time I spent thinking about, dealing with, planning for, or hiding my sweaty hands until the weeks leading up to my surgery as the anticipation built.
As a guy from the South, the initial idea of travelling to California for an elective procedure seemed like something that just wasn’t for me. I had convinced myself that it was an unnecessary luxury to fix something that I had learned to manage and deal with for so long, I might as well continue to live my life dealing with it. I couldn’t have been farther off and I’m so glad I didn’t let that thought control my decision. Dr. Basseri and his staff make you feel like you are working with people in your home town who are personally invested in making you comfortable with the procedure and the environment, and delivering the best results possible. I was comfortable and my mind was at ease the entire time. My nurses were Chika, Angelina, and Mariam, who were all wonderful to me and my family. My anesthesiologist was also fantastic. I felt like I was in the best hands the entire time i was in the office. A special thanks to Bri as well, who took time to share her experience and answer questions as a former patient, which helped give me the confidence to go through with the procedure. She also helped to put my wife and mom’s nerves at ease when we were in the office preparing for the procedure. The personalized care and attention makes you feel as if you are the only patient their office is taking care of. To emphasize that point, my mom is a nurse with 40 years of experience throughout most of the major hospital systems in the Atlanta area. She got to travel with me and my wife for the procedure and was absolutely blown away by the professionalism, attention to detail, personability, and top to bottom experience with Dr. Basseri, the nurses, the surgical team, and the entire office staff.
This procedure is truly a cure that I never imagined was attainable. I’m still having trouble wrapping my mind around how significantly this is going to improve my day to day life. If you have sweaty hands that preoccupy your mind and affect your day to day life, this procedure is the single best investment you can make in yourself. I would make the decision to commit to this procedure with Dr. Basseri 100 times out of 100.

Great experience from start to finish. Dr. Basseri is friendly and professional, as well as all the nursing staff. And of course, a 100% efficacious surgery—if you are someone who has palmar or plantar hyperhidrosis, this will be the best investment you can make—none of the other non-surgical treatments comes close!

Dr Basseri changed my daughters life. She suffered with Hyperhydrosis her entire life. Every decision she made was made based on her condition. What clothes, shoes, socks she should would wear. Where to position herself as to hide her sweaty palms in social gatherings. Dr Basseri is doing exceptional life changing work in this field and we are grateful for how he changed our daughters life forever.

My surgery for hyperhidrosis worked perfectly – my feet were 100% dry as soon as I woke up & have stayed that way. Recovery only lasted about 4-5 days, after that I was able to walk around comfortably, drive, etc. My scarring is also very minimal. Thank you so much!!

It’s a great feeling having dry hands and armpits.Much love and respect to everyone at the center of hyperhidrosis.

I had surgery for my feet in April/2022.Wright after surgery my feet stayed dry .I was so scared to go through surgery reading some negative side effects about ETS/ELS surgery. Dr.B told me about possible compensatory sweating after surgery which did not happened in my case.
If anybody need permanent solution for exessive sweating, I highly recommend to talk to Dr.B.I mean it really worth it.

Overall the surgery went great and I am thankful for that. Hyperhidrosis is no joke and it really ruined my life from elementary through highschool, and I thought there would never be a cure for it. But with the right help from doctor Basseri and his team I was able to finally say I don’t sweat like I did before and I am twice as confident in what I do.

You changed my life! Thank you for the unwavering assurance in what you are doing for people. I came in skeptical as I have lived with sweaty; hands, armpits, and feet for 31 years! I didn’t think there was a way out and I tried other alternatives that failed miserably. The team was very professional and friendly. I’ll certainly be an advocate going forward. Once again thank you! I never thought I would see the day I didn’t have to worry about sweating excessively!

Dr. Basseri talked to myself and my mom two different times for over an hour over the phone explaining the procedure in depth and answering all of the questions we had about the surgery (trust me, there were a lot of questions). He was patient, understanding, and very knowledgable. I don’t know of any surgeon that would go out of their way to talk to POTENTIAL patients like he did. I felt so comfortable with him and his staff. I got the ETS surgery in May of 2022 for my Palmer Hyperhidrosis, and I can say that Dr. Bassett and his team changed my life. I am forever grateful for them. I can now hold my boyfriends hand, wear an engagement ring, shake someone’s hand, put on lotion, etc. I can go on and on about him and his team. If you struggle with Hyperhidrosis, please reach out to the center. My hands have not sweat AT ALL. This is the best decision I have made in my 24 years of life. I will definitely be back in a year or two for my hyperhidrosis in my feet. THANK YOU DR. BASSERI!

My name is Jack Sather I am currently 21 years old and I had a Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy Surgery with Dr. Basseri and Dr. Reisfeld on 12/29/22.
I have suffered from hyperhidrosis my entire life in my hands as long as I could remember, it affected me meeting new people and shaking their hands. I never felt like I could be myself and be in the moment, I was always feeling like I wanted to hide from having new conversations. I’m not Antisocial at all either so it just made me mad or upset I was putting myself in this situation. Growing up the worst part of my hyperhidrosis came with the seasonal weather changes we have in Arizona changing from low 40’s in winter all the way to 120 degree summers. I would sweat profusely in the summer everywhere and I would still sweat in the winter, sometimes even worse then summer! During the winters I would get cold sweats and start shaking. This continued to develop worse as I started to age, I told my parents countless times and showed them my condition but my mom and dad both never really listened or understood. I even saw a few doctors at a young age and showed them my red/Purple sweaty dripping hands.
They only told me that it will go away with age and not to worry about it. I was so tired of suppressing this I had to do some research and find out my condition. I’ve been asked “who diagnosed me” a lot… No one else did, I did myself. I was about 12/13 at the time I found out what hyperhidrosis really was. After looking at a lot of pictures and articles on the web I knew this is what I had as their isn’t much else it could of been. it happened at times I could not control it like the beach.
The beach is supposed to be relaxing and peaceful, not to be a ball of sweat for no apparent reason. I wanted the Surgery but I too young and I had to have my parents set it up. my parents were divorced when I was 3 so I had horrible communication between the both of them. I waited thinking someday it would happen but it didn’t. when I was 18 I knew it was time to get it done by myself, but a lot of financial situations started to arise for me until I turned 20 in 2021.
It took me over 9 months to get my insurance to appeal my surgery and accept the charge towards my insurance. At this point I was spending thousands of dollars just to get my insurance to see if they would accept me by going to see my doctor multiple times doing what’s needed every time. I would be going back for even little things like writing notes for my doctor to show how its affected my life and changed it to testing a new product and then coming back a second time just see if it had any change of affect. Every time I had a co pay and more fees.
I started to feel very discouraged throughout the entire thing as I wasn’t receiving much help or positive news. A month after my 21st birthday I finally got good news. My insurance accepted my ETS procedure after months of doing appeals. Dr. Basseri and his staff were very amazing and thorough about the entire process. I’m very happy with my outcome as ill never be able to sweat in my hands ever again. If I had to do this surgery again I would. My sister will be coming back for hers! Thank you for taking care of me!

Dr Basseri and the entire team are beyond wonderful. They are literally angels on earth doing God’s work. I am incredibly thankful to have found them. If I could rate them 10/5 I would.

I had dripping sweaty palms since I was 10 years old. I had ETS surgery 7 months ago and it has improved my life drastically. I’m no longer stifled by this condition. I have no regrets and I highly recommend. Thank you Dr Basseri

Dr. Basseri and the hyperhydrosis center was top notch. Everyone is very professional. I had micro ets surgery August of 2019 and it has been life changing.

Dr. B is the absolute best. He fixed a prior operation I’d tried and my hyperhydrosis 100% which I’d almost given up hope on ever having happen, or at least to this degree (I had tried everything available for about 10 years to fix it on my own). Forever will be so grateful to him and everyone here.

My experience with the Center for Hyperhydrosis couldn’t have been any better. From the first phone call/email to after surgery, you know you’re in good hands. Not to mention, Dr. Basseri is truly the best. His expertise in hyperhidrosis is very apparent and he’s always there to address any concerns/questions even after surgery. I struggled with hyperhydrosis since I was a little girl, I often felt alone because I thought I was the only one going through something like this. When I found the Center for Hyperhidrosis, I didn’t realize how much it would exceed all of my expectations. The whole time I felt cared for, understood, and HAPPY that something that affected me for so long was finally gone. If you’re on the edge of a big decision like this, go for it!! I promise it’s life changing and I’m so glad that I went through with it.

For me, my symptoms of Hyperhidrosis started around the age of 8 with both my hands and feet sweating excessively. Growing up as a cheerleader and a young adult through high school it just made everything difficult and awkward. When I was 17 I found a physician near me in Indianapolis and he did the surgery to correct my hand sweating. He told me that it was a 50-50 chance for my feet and it did not work. So I felt like how I did for most of my life… that it was just something I was going to have to live with and deal with. June 2019 I called that same physician in Indianapolis and told him I could no longer continue to live with the excessive sweating of my feet. So my doctor in Indianapolis got on Google and found Dr Basseri and I ended up just reaching out to The Center for Hyperhidrosis via phone and set up a conference with Dr Basseri over the phone. We spent 30 to 45 minutes on the phone one day and he gave me a well knowledged background of the condition and went over step-by-step the process of the surgery and everything from flying out there to coming home. He even provided me with a previous patients number for me to reach out to. My mom and I flew out on a Thursday to California and we met with Dr Basseri that afternoon for my consultation and to prepare for surgery the next day. I went in Friday and had my surgery and there was a slight complication due to me having a child but Dr Basseri and his team were determined to not give up until they were able to complete my surgery… Which they did and I am forever grateful for that! I flew home on Sunday and my recovery was quite painful honestly, but I would do it 10 times again just to get the outcome that I have now!! The Center for Hyperhidrosis is outstanding and all of the staff members have been so kind over the last year and a half. A group of us actually went out there November 2019 and shot testimonial videos that you can find on YouTube under Center For Hyperhidrosis. There’s about seven stories on there from that experience. The last year and a half of dry feet has been better than I even imagined.

Finding Dr. Basseri was an answered prayer. For 30 years, my hands dictated what I did and didn’t do. I never imagined it possible to have normal, dry hands. I had my surgery August of 2021 and my life has dramatically changed since then. The entire staff was very supportive and Dr. Basseri made the entire process easy and seamless. It took me about a week to fully recover and feel like myself again but immediately after surgery, I had dry hands. I am now someone who uses lotion and gets manicures lol I can shake hands confidently and hold hands with my boyfriend without feeling totally gross. It is still hard for me to believe in certain situations that my hands are not sweating. I still have dreams that the surgery didn’t work and my hands are sweating again – the trauma! But it does work and it is life changing. Only someone with Hyperhidrosis will understand the importance of this surgery. Take it from someone who tried it all – from creams to botox. Stop torturing yourself with treatments that don’t work. I did this for me and for my self esteem! So do it! You wont regret it.

Hoping to save everyone who is interested in ETS some time back in their day. We had our phone consultation this morning with the doctor. Completely fine experience. Spent most of the time easing concerns about the procedure. How it’s very non invasive, takes less than an hour, 99% success rate, etc. We made it clear at that point that we had already done our research and our insurance does not cover this and needed to know what the cash price was for the procedure.
The answer: $26,000! Just for hands! No feet included.
For an outpatient procedure that takes less than an hour? Apparently there isn’t enough competition in this space. Hopefully there will be soon so those suffering from anxiety and depression due to hyperhidrosis don’t get robbed.

Overall great experience my hands are bone dry and my feet are significantly less sweaty. The operation was quick with minimal pain in chest for 72-96 hours. Only side effect was profuse sweating on the first two nights during sleep after that never again.

I recently called into the office to ask questions about the surgery itself and Sabrina couldn’t have been more helpful. Not only was she kind but also very patient with answering all my questions and concerns! I highly recommend both the staff and the attentive Dr. Basseri, who will solve all your sweaty issues.

Hands down the best medical staff for hyperhidrosis! Every question and concern was addressed, and better than that, our daughter’s hands and feet are now warm and dry thanks to Dr Basseri and his amazing staff.

Could not have asked for a better doctor, team, or experience. Dr. Basseri even called me when HE got home to see how my pain was and check on me. If you need this surgery, there’s no better place in the country

I’ve done iontophoresis through a machine called iontoderma – very painful, but it is effective. After awhile, it stopped working for me though. I’ve also tried numerous rounds of Botox at the maximum strengths allowed. The Botox was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced, and it worked for about a day. They said it was supposed to work for 3 months. Then, I got it again at twice the strength, and my hands never stopped sweating. And again insanely painful.
After surgery, the compensatory sweating is real – the sweat has moved to my lower back. So at nighttime, I sometimes wake up with my sheets a little wet. But it’s better than the hand sweat. My feet also still sweat, because that requires a separate surgery. I will be getting that surgery soon as well.
For this surgery, Dr. Basseri is the best in the world – he and his mentor innovated the procedure of clipping the sweat glands. If your hands feet and armpits all sweat, this surgery is a must. Also, the surgery was 19k but with my insurance I ended up paying 2300. Dr. Basseri is also extremely responsive, and is easily one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen.

I had my surgery on December 3, 2021 for sweaty hands, and now my hands are bone dry! It got to the point where I had to start wearing lotion to prevent my skin from getting too dry. I now get compensatory sweating on my upper chest and back, but it is not a big deal compared to having sweaty hands. All I have to do is wear undershirts throughout the day and I am good to go. Getting the ETS was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Both the staff and the doctors are top notch in their fields, and this is coming from someone who works in EMS and has a good idea about how healthcare works. I highly recommend them.

I have struggled with hyperhydrosis in my hands and feet since I was in elementary school and I thought it would be something that I just dealt with for the rest of my life. I will never forget the day I hit my breaking point and frantically started doing my research, determined to find a solution. I quickly came across the Center for Hyperhydrosis Instagram page and began the journey that would change my life for forever.
Dr.Basseri and his team are simply amazing! They provide each and every patient with the most professional service, support, and guidance from the very beginning, starting with my phone consultation with Dr.Basseri himself, through the day of surgery and the months following. The facilities are immaculate and provide a “boutique” style service as a surgical center making the thought of “surgery” less scary and more comfortable and accommodating than ever.
If you or someone you know are considering to move forward with any of the hyperhydrosis procedures with Dr.Basseri, let this be your sign to take the next step, you have found the best of the best.

I hope sharing my story can help somebody else who suffers from Hyperhidrosis. I searched for a safe solution for my sweaty hands my entire life. It wasn’t until I met Dr. Basseri in my early 40’s that my suffering finally ended. My earliest memories began around age 7 when I had to discontinue competing in gymnastics due to my excessively sweaty hands. It was heartbreaking but I learned how to work around it and had to give up doing many things I loved. My condition continued as I grew up, throughout college and as I started my career. I became a master of avoidance, anticipating ways I could hide my sweaty hands during various situations. I tried everything: creams, pills and various office procedures. Nothing helped. I researched surgery, but many years ago the only surgery I could find involved cutting the entire nerve chain and I wasn’t willing to do that. I continued my quest for a solution and finally found Dr. Basseri. I scheduled a consultation and went through every tiny detail of this much less invasive procedure which only clamps very specific nerves. I felt 100% confident in Dr. Basseri and trusted him to help me finally free myself from the chains of Hyperhidrosis. The surgery center is top of the line and I received excellent care before and after my surgery. The procedure was quick and I went home the same day to rest and recover. Within a few days, I was back up to normal activity. My hands have never sweat since the moment I woke from surgery. I have virtually no side effects, but do get compensatory sweating on my chest and back when I’m doing heavy exercise or in a very hot environment. This truly is a remarkable advancement in the treatment of Hyperhidrosis. This is not the older type of surgery from many years ago. It has changed my life in ways I can’t even describe. The shame and fear are gone. My confidence has been restored. I can focus on the task at hand instead of trying to hide my sweaty hands. If you are suffering from this please know there is hope. We are all imperfect in some way. My only regret is not having this surgery sooner in life.

If I could give a 10 star rating, it wouldn’t be enough. I have dealt with hyperhydrosis on my hands since I was a young teenager. It occupied my mind all the time in any situation whether it was high stress or not. I made the leap of faith on Aug 13th of 2021 and woke up with dry hands and underarms after the surgery. Everything was as smooth as the staff and doctor told me it would be. This morning I had returned to my gym to exercise and my hands were completely dry the entire time. I left the gym with a tear in my eye as I have never exercised before without having my hands sweating excessively. Thank you Dr. Basseri! Also just for anyone reading this, this was a completely unsolicited review. I just feel extreme gratitude and want to help anyone else who is dealing with this issue.

Bryan Martineau
My partner had this “reversible” procedure done here by Dr.Bassari and Dr. Reisfeld, last year. The surgery has already began to ruin their life. It will begin to sweat in areas you never have before, and the surgery is not reversible. Do not believe anything that is spoken by these two, or what you see online as far as the good the surgery provides. The clamps are placed on your sympathetic nerve, which is along your spine! That should never be tampered with, as it will cause so many other issues in your body. Many have started researching how to repair their bodies after this… only to find that you might return to a 20% form of normal after getting them out or do you need to fly to Taiwan to have Dr. Chang give you a synthetic nerve… to even begin to live a normal life! That’s horrible! The surgery also causes you to become heat intolerant! Anything above 80° will feel like torture to your head and upper body as it can no longer thermal regulate. Please please please please research deeply before you make the choice to do this barbaric procedure.

I will forever be grateful and thankful for Dr.Basseri – he absolutely changed my life, both personal and professional 🥰
I enjoy my job as a nurse so much more now because I can give a gift of touch to someone and not feel embarrassed about my sweaty palms.
I had suffered from Hyperhidrosis all my life,tried every possible treatment out here with no success but I made it my mission to find something or someone who can help.
I didn’t even think twice once I found out about Dr.Basseri and traveled from Atlanta,GA. to have the surgery done.
Dr. Basseri and the whole team at The Center For Hyperhidrosis are absolutely amazing – from the consultation to surgery and after the surgery Dr.Basseri and every member of his team is there to support you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I’ve suffered from hyperhidrosis (main issue was sweaty hands) my entire life and I didn’t realize it was a medical condition until I was about 19/20 years old. I also didn’t know there was any type of procedure/surgery that could PERMANENTLY fix this issue till I found Dr. Basseri and the center for the hyperhidrosis. The center for hyperhidrosis specializes in a surgery/procedure that completely solves palmar hyperhidrosis and I felt very comfortable going to a place that only performs one kind of surgery/treatment for hyperhidrosis – Dr. Basseri is the best of the best and is the most specialized doctor when it comes to this surgery. Palmar hyperhidrosis caused me to be extremely nervous and anxious growing up – I never liked meeting new people and shaking hands with anyone. It also affected other things such as taking tests, using a touch screen phone, holding hands, etc… Eventually, I graduated from law school and it was starting to affect my work life so I had to make a change and that’s when I found Dr. Basseri. After the surgery everything changed, no more sweaty hands which meant all the issues that were caused by sweaty hands were gone as well. This surgery was truly life changing – I wish I found out about it sooner in my life. I would highly highly recommend getting this procedure done if you are considering it – there is a permanent solution.

I’m 43 a year old that has dealt with the worst case of “dripping off my elbows” sweaty hands for as long as I can remember! Not only did I suffer with Hyperhidrosis of the palms but I’ve dealt with platers Hyperhidrosis of the feet. If I ever were to wear flip flops I’d quickly start sliding around on sweat produced mud. On October 12th 2021 I traveled to Beverly Hills from Carson city Nevada and met with doctor Basseri and the rest of their terrific staff at the Center for Hyperhydrosis and surgery center! The following day, October 13th at 6:30am I returned to the surgery center and the procedure was completed. That morning was the last time my hands ever sweat! It is now January 22nd 2022 and not only have my hands not sweat? my feet stopped sweating as well! October 13th completely changed my life and my world! A confidence that I’ve never had almost instantly surfaced after surgery. I would do anything in my power to not be in a position where someone would try to shake my hand but now??? Even if you have Covid? I wanna shake your hand… with my perfectly dry hands! Thank you Dr Basseri and all of the wonderful staff at the center for Hyperhidrosis!

I’ve suffered from hyperhidrosis literally since I was a baby. My mother took me to the doctor for it as a toddler. She had to meet with teachers to tell them why my paper always got wet while trying to write. As I grew to an adult, this disorder has made me suffer from anxiety/panic attacks & depression. Nothing was working. Glycopyrolate helped but of course I don’t want to be on that my whole life. Why me? I’d cry and cry. And no one really knew! I was so sick of feeling sorry for myself. So I started researching again. And found Dr. Basseri! Nothing was stopping me. I was so ready to find an answer. A solution. This procedure (ETS) was the answer. The answer to my sanity, my mental health, my well-being….and my lifelong struggle. I only wish I found him sooner. He said when I wake up, I’d feel dry and warm. And that I did! The last 2 months have been life changing for me, my hands feel so nice and dry, I actually use lotion now haha! No more wiping my hands on my pants, or avoiding hand shakes, or my hands slipping on the steering wheel, or only wearing certain clothes/colors, no more freezing cold wet hands in the winter time, no more pit stain embarrassment or utter humiliation while getting my nails done. I could go on and on! I still have to pinch myself! I’m so excited to live the rest of my life without this nasty disorder. And it’s all thanks to Dr. Basseri and his team. I really appreciated how well he communicated w me before & after surgery, checking up on me throughout my recovery and thereafter. I’ll see you soon for the ELS procedure! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I can’t say enough of how I wish I had found Dr Basseri sooner. I was skeptical about surgery from other doctors saying this would not work. I tried all the medications and therapies, and nothing worked. I found Dr. Basseri and now I am sweat free in my hands and armpits. This was a life changing experience for me, and it was all made possible by Dr. Basseri and his team. From the first phone call to post surgery, he continued to check in with me. I recommend to anyone who is struggling with hyperhidrosis to get this surgery. Thank you Dr. Basseri and team for changing my life.

The surgery went very well, I was back to riding horses within 2 weeks and felt a lot better within a few days. The doctors did a great job on my surgery and haven’t had any problems since, everything was very successful and completely painless. I would recommend this place for anyone struggling with hyperhidrosis, you’ll be in great hands!

I had ETS surgery performed by Dr. Basseri in December of 2023 for palmar hyperhidrosis. Living with this condition for the last 20 years impacted every aspect of my life, from the clothes I would wear to the parties/events I would show up for. I am almost 3 months post-op and it feels like the biggest weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I no longer worry about my computer keyboard getting soaked, shaking someones hand, what I am going to wear, & the list goes on. I am forever grateful to Dr. Basseri and the staff at The Center. My life is truly changed and I only wish I had done it sooner!

Dr Basseri thoroughly explained the procedure to me and actually took the time to talk and understood how I felt dealing with hyperhidrosis my entire life. The surgery that I had done has literally changed my life, and I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone dealing with this medical condition. To have a Dr who puts so much time and effort into learning more about this condition and prioritizes each patient means so much… You’ve made me one happy and sweat free Girl!!!

We traveled from Ohio to California to see Dr. Basseri! My son had complained for years about sweaty hands and we tried everything that was recommended to us. Nothing worked!! We talked to Dr. Basseri and we knew that we needed to have him perform the surgery to stop his hands from sweating! He made us, and our son, feel so comfortable and confident! The procedure was life changing for our son! His hands never sweat anymore!!!!!! We can’t thank Dr. Basseri enough!!!! Best decision our family has made and would recommend it to anyone who struggles with Hyperhidrosis!

I had ETS surgery done back in May of this year. The process was smooth due to communicating steps and expectations throughout the process.

After three decades of dripping feet, Dr. Basseri and his team cured me of my debilitating, embarrassing condition. To say this was life changing would be an understatement. I get to experience life without the limitations of sopping wet feet.
The entire staff is supportive, kind, and eager to help, from daunting insurance approval process, all the way through the procedure and beyond. If my future children inherit this condition, I know who I’m calling first. 🦶 🤚

sweating stopped immediately. Staff was phenomenal, facilities were spotless and state of the art. Best part of the experience was Dr. Basseri . he took the time to explain everything before and after procedure and was spot on. His care and follow up was amazing. He personally followed up 3xs day on and then periodically for 3 weeks and still calls til this day to check and see how everything was going. The most professional experience in my life. Would rate 10 stars if i could.

Having found Dr. Basseri was a true blessing in my son’s life. The hyperhidrosis of the hands flared up freshman year in college for my son and it was a nightmare I had no idea he was living. Once he opened up about how it was taking over his life and he shied away from going to Job Fairs his senior year because he dreaded shaking hands with people and could not even use the keyboard of his computer without getting it all wet was when I started searching for a solution to help end this nightmare. I kept running into a wall until I came across Dr. Basseri’s website. Once we spoke to Dr. Basseri I knew there was not doubt that the surgery was the answer to the issue.
My son is a changed person. He is very confident and happy. He had the surgery almost two years ago in July. The surgery was indeed life changing for him. The smile of happiness on his face after surgery was priceless! His hands have been dry since that day!
I highly recommend Dr. Basseri to all who are suffering from hyperhidrosis.
We are truly grateful for the immense impact Dr. Basseri has had on our son’s life.

Waited a bit to write a review on The Center For Hyperhidrosis to write honestly about how life changing the work they are doing is. I have never felt better about myself and that’s completely due to Dr. Basseri and his team. I have had numerous other procedures and can easily say that I have never felt more important, seen, and cared for like I was at the center, and through every step starting at my consultation. Pre-op and post-op care was wonderful. I truly could not recommend the center and Dr. Basseri more. My life has changed entirely, I am so much happier. I can read whenever I want without fear that I will soak the pages, I can shake hands, I can write on paper in my college classes, I don’t have to come home crying because someone was rude. I am so deeply grateful to Dr. Basseri and everyone at the center for entirely changing my life.

Dr. Basseri is the best of the best! Before my surgery, I don’t remember a single day when hyperhidrosis didn’t take over my life. My thoughts were constantly consumed by how I could avoid a handshake or any situation where someone had the chance of noticing the excessive sweating of my hands. I tried everything… from prescription lotions to numerous rounds of painful Botox injections which never seemed to last longer than a couple of weeks. When I found Dr. Basseri my life changed! From the moment I had my consultation, he made me feel extremely comfortable. Everyone at The Center for Hyperhidrosis has incredible bedside manner, compassion, kindness, and professionalism, checking up on me even up to a year post-op. I have more confidence now than I ever thought could be possible. Thank you Dr. Basseri and all of the wonderful staff at The Center for Hyperhidrosis, you truly changed my life! I am forever grateful.

I had ETS surgery in September. I suffered with excessive sweating in my hands, underarms, and feet since age 12. After surgery sweating stopped immediately. It was life changing. Best decision I ever made. Dr.Bassari is amazing.

Amazing people to say the least. surgery went very well and quick and i was able to get back to the comfort of my hotel room same day. Dr. Bassari still checks up on me today and they make an effort to show they care for all their patients! i would recommend The Center For Hyperhydrosis for anyone unsure.

I just want to thank Dr. Baserri and his team for taking great care of me. The palms of my hands and my armpits are now sweat free. I can now shake people’s hands and feel no resistance in doing so. However, when I exercise, the sweat goes to my chest, lower back and legs. Overall, I am very happy that I got the surgery done. Thanks again the entire team of Dr. Baserri!

Dr. Basseri and his team are complete professionals from beginning to end. I am many months removed from a successful ETS and Dr. Basseri continues to check in on progress. They are changing lives for the better. I recommend checking them out if you are considering ETS. They will be clear and helpful, and will always keep your best interest in mind. There is zero pressure. It’s evident that people are their priority. So glad I found them.

If you suffer from hyperhidrosis, dont waste your years trying different topical treatments. They simply don’t work. Book an appointment with the Dr. Basseri and get the ETS (Endoscopic Thoraic Surgery done) at your earliest.
I was afraid of surgeries and had learnt to manage my condition. But now looking back I wish I had got this done earlier.
I was recommended the Center of Hyperhidrosis by my PCP at Stanford Medical center. The reason was that they had the state of the art endoscopic instrument which was minimally invasive and the doctors here, Dr. Basseri, were experts in the treatment of this condition.
My surgery was smooth. Dr. Basseri explained to me all the details of the surgery and even shared with me research papers that I was interested in reading. Post surgery, Dr. Basseri and his staff made sure to follow up regularly ensuring I was doing well. My scars have vanished and so is my sweating! I did experience some compensatory sweating, but this has been minimal and tolerable. There was some numbness and back pain for a few weeks following the surgery but this all subsided eventually. Dr. Basseri was available by text throughout answering my questions and assuring me. I highly recommend getting the surgery done asap if you suffer from Hyperhidrosis and getting it done at the Center of Hyperhidrosis with Dr. Basseri. Good Luck!

In october of 2021 i flew from NYC to California to receive my ETS surgery. From the moment i stepped foot into the facility in Beverly hills i immediately felt so welcomed. From the front desk, finance office, nurses and especially Dr Basseri and Dr Reisfeld. I felt safe and ensured that i was making the right choice. I met with Dr Basseri the day before the surgery and he carefully explained the whole procedure from beginning to end. I also met with the nurses that will also be in the operating room and every single one of them from the head nurse to the anesthesiologist made me feel safe and reassured. It has been going on 4mons since and my hands are 100% dry with NO side effects or symptoms and i absolutely love it best decision i made in my entire life being i suffered from hyperhidrosis since i could remember. I am just a regular working man and thankfully my insurance covered 98% of the bill. Dr Basseri and his team literally saved me from a life time off hiding my hands and would do it over again. Love them all with all my heart at the Center of Hyperhidrosis of Beverly hills!

OMG–I’m dry!! I cannot believe it! What a life changing experience for me…Whoever is on the fence or considering, look no further. I’ve suffered with hyperhidrosis for about 30 years (right around puberty). I had surgery in my early 20’s, which was successfully, but it only cured my hands and underarms. It didn’t cure my feet 🙁 Hyperhidrosis was not really a known medical condition when I was younger and I seemed like I was the only one suffering with this condition. Luckily, I did find a doctor who was able to help, but it was only for the hand and underarms. Several years after my surgery, I started having compensatory sweating in other areas of my body I never had issue before. This was a gradual effect and then it became out of control towards my 40’s. Once again, I started to do a ton of research, I tried several homeopathic alternatives (medication wasn’t an option for me), but nothing seemed to help. Finally, I came across the Center For Hyperhidrosis (CFH). I discovered CFH is the ONLY center who cures the feet (plantar) area. It seemed too good to be true. And not only that, CFH does an entirely different procedure than the one I did 21 years prior. New technology + knowledge = no crazy compensatory sweating!! Yaaah!! I kicked the tire for a couple of years, since I still was worried that I “might” still get compensatory sweating, but I finally had the procedure in Dec of 2021. I’m so very glad I did it and should have trusted my gut much earlier. One great thing, I was able to discuss everything over the phone directly with Dr. Bassier before I made any decisions. What also encouraged me tremendously, was that I was able to communicate with several of Dr. Bassarie’s past patients. They were all so kind to share their stories, which I could 100% relate too. I was super excited every time I spoke to someone, and at that point I was convinced! Not only was the surgery a HUGE success, I have to give 5 Stars to Dr. Basseri and his staff. They are first class and so professional. His office was immaculate, his entire team from intake to post op were amazing. I felt like I knew everyone the moment I arrived for my pre-op. I’m still in touch with the center and Dr. Basseri if I have any questions. They’re so quick to respond and so helpful. I promise you, you’re in great hands if you do decide to have the procedure–it’s a life changer for sure! I’d do this over and over again! I’m dry and finally got a foot message today. It was incredible! Ha! Never would have imagined that. I still cannot believe the results. I’m amazed and thankful everyday. Thank you again Dr. Basseri 🙂

Got surgery for my sweaty palms couple weeks ago (Feb 2022). They are completely dry now and it has been unreal. The recovery was fast and I have not got any compensatory sweating.
I decided to fly from Colorado to California myself for the surgery since I thought I could not bear it anymore. I could get depression if I didn’t treat it. I trusted Dr. Basseri and his team and they changed my life.
Would recommend this place for people whose mental health is struggling and suffering a lot due to hyperhidrosis.
The surgery was costly for me since my insurance didn’t pay for it but it was worth it. I didn’t regret having it done since the result was incredible. I have more confidence working with my hands and no longer have anxiety wearing gloves now.
Thanks Dr. Basseri and your team for giving me new hands-new life!

Ever since I could remember, I’ve suffered from having sweaty hands. I stumbled upon “The Center For Hyperhidrosis” on various social media apps. After doing some quick research, I knew right away that this was the place. I called and within a very short time, had an appointment scheduled. The experience I had with Dr. Basseri and his medical staff were top notch. They treated me like family, which was very comforting especially in a time where the word “Surgery” terrified you. After completing the procedure, waking up for the first time and feeling ur dry hands, was one of the best feelings I had ever experienced. This procedure was definitely one of the best choices I had ever made and I would highly recommend Dr. Basseri and his team.

Had ETS surgery here for palmar Hyperhidrosis back in October of 2021. The site was very clean, comfortable, and all of the staff was very helpful, caring, friendly, and professional. Dr Basseri was very thorough in explaining everything prior to the procedure and made me feel at ease about my upcoming surgery. He was very personable and even followed up with me for several days after to see how I was doing.
The procedure itself was minimally invasive with little scarring. I was back playing sports within a couple of weeks without any problems. I can say the side effects are very minimal and now I can shake hands, hold hands and put lotion on without worrying about sweaty, drippy palms! No more feeling cold and uncomfortable because of wet hands and under arms for no reason at all!
I would definitely recommend this to others and am considering going back for my plantar Hyperhidrosis. Definitely life changing, thank you Dr. Basseri!

If you’re looking for a doctor who cares about you and your condition, please take my advice and work with Dr. Basseri. I have never met a doctor who was so caring and hands on. From day one I could tell that I’d be in good hands.
During our initial phone consultation, Dr.Basseri did a great job of breaking down how hyperhidrosis affects the body and how the procedure is done to cure the sweating. He even took it a step further and connected me with a patient who had the surgery. Because of this, I decided to proceed with the surgery and ever since I got it done (July 2022), I’ve had dry hands AND armpits ever since!
Dr.Basseri also has an excellent set team members who are great at handling the back hand tasks (paperwork and insurance information). They were really persistent in helping me obtain what I needed from my insurance to get this done.
Thank you Dr.Basseri and team for all your help! Life has been so much better with dry hands. 🙂

My 17 year old daughter had a great experience and outcome from her treatment at the center for hyperhidrosis. Dr. Basseri and the staff at the surgery center were really outstanding, professional, and personable. My daughter felt very comfortable pre and post procedure. Her outcome post procedure was excellent and has relived her of her hrydrosis condition exactly as Dr. Basseri described. The procedure was quick, relatively non-invasive and her recovery was 1-2 days. If you have someone in your family who has this condition, I would highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Basseri to explore the solution he is able to provide.

Getting the ETS surgery for my hands was the best decision I’ve ever made. I can finally live a normal life without worrying about my hands sweating. I have a front desk job and I can talk to people with confidence. Dr. Basseri and the nurses were some of the kindest people I’ve ever met and they made me feel so comfortable. The procedure was an absolute life changer and I feel like my prayers were answered. Don’t listen to those things online about the compensatory sweating, it isn’t even that bad. I would take that over what I was dealing with any day. These people are true angels. Thank you soo much.

Keri Smith
I have been dealing with hyperhidrosis my whole life. I have tried almost every possible treatment but none of them worked. I did my research and found Dr. Basseri’s office. I contacted them right away and had the surgery for my palmar hyperhidrosis a month after. Dr. Basseri and his team were very accommodating and took care of me from start to finish. Dr. Basseri would call even on the weekends to check up on me. Recovery was also very quick considering I was under general anesthesia. This was a life changing decision for me and I’m glad that I found Dr. Basseri and his team. For those suffering from hyperhidrosis, I highly recommend for you to contact them.

I had my surgery on 11/10/2022. I wish I would have done this surgery years ago. I am almost 30 years old and have struggled with extensive sweating in my hands for as long as I can remember. I work in Corporate America and used to have issues typing on my keyboard because my hands would leave puddles and shaking my clients hands was always an embarrassment. This surgery was extremely smooth; the team does a tremendous job of prepping you the day before so you know exactly what you are walking into with surgery. The staff was absolutely incredible to work with. My hands have not sweat ONCE and I am forever grateful for Dr. Basseri and his team!

Jackie Tuck
Dr.Basseri and his staff are AWESOME!!! We are from San Antonio, Tx. We thought that it was going yo be difficult having to work with Dr. Basseri’s office since they are located in California. Man we’re we wrong! We were guided step by step on what needed to be done to make our daughters procedure a success. When we arrived, they welcomed us with open arms. Everyone was so friendly. Dr. Basseri took us in to an exam room and explained everything in detail as to what was going to happen and what to expect. The nurses kept in contact with my husband and I during the procedure with updates on how out daughter was doing. After the procedure was over, Dr. Basseri came out to speak to us about how everything went. After we went back to our hotel room, Dr. Basseri called us several times that evening and the following days to check on our daughter. We are so pleased with the overall outcome, that we are now looking into getting the procedure done for myself!!! Job well done!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

I had my ETS surgery with Dr Basseri in May of 2021 & my life has been forever changed.
After trying countless topical treatments & iontophoresis that never worked for me, I truly felt hopeless in ever finding a treatment.
Now being over a year post op, I feel so incredibly blessed to wake up each day with dry hands. Have confidence in social settings, write on paper without any frustration, enjoy getting my nails done and so much more. I now work at the Center as the Patient Education and social media coordinator, where I get to share my Hyperhidrosis story and help guide others to their life changing surgery!
I am happy to help answer any questions those considering surgery my have. You can connect with me personally on my Instagram (Briferreri) or through the Centers Instagram (thecenterforhyperhidrosis)
Please feel free to reach out at any time!

We could not be more thrilled with the service and outcome received from Dr. Baserri. My 20 year old daughter describes the surgery as “life changing.” After years of embarrassing palm sweating, her hands are finally dry. She had her first manicure recently after refusing to receive them in the past. She now wants to take piano lessons again, admitting to us that the reason she quit years ago was due to her sweaty, drippy hands. My husband and I were skeptical of the surgery, and did much research including interviews with other physicians/institutions before deciding on The Center for Hyperhidrosis. Dr. Baserri’s experience and willingness to explain is unsurpassed. He was immediately responsive to our many questions and concerns prior to surgery. Dr. Baserri has the best bedside manner and is truly passionate for helping people with hyperhidrosis. Thank you Dr. Basseri for giving Grace the confidence to do things she never dreamed possible. We cannot recommend The Center For Hyperhidrosis enough.

Life changing experience, please read!! I had suffered for over 20 years with severe sweating on my hands and armpits. It brought me anxiety and extreme embarrassment. I had tried all of the lotions, water shocking, padded shirts (good idea for armpit sweat), etc and nothing helped my palms much. My hands would literally drip sweat if I really focused on them. After googling hyperhidrosis and treatments, I decided to really look into a permanent solution. That’s where I saw on Google The Center For Hyperhidrosis. I’ll admit, I was skeptical and questioned the legitimacy of the Center. However, after speaking to my local doctor and the staff, I decided to move forward with the surgery. I flew into LA on a Wednesday, had a meeting with Dr. Basseri and his staff on Thursday and had the surgery on Friday. The minute I woke up from the surgery my hands and armpits were warm and dry! I had minimal soreness for 2-3 weeks, but it was really not that bad. It’s been about 3 months now, and my hands and armpits have remained dry! The surgery Dr. Basseri and his staff performed honestly completely changed my life. I will forever be grateful to them, and I really hope this review will help others who struggle like I had for so many years.

I had my ETS on November 2nd, 2022 and I don’t have anything but good to say about The Center for Hyperhidrosis! From their staff, to the procedure, to the follow-up care, and everything in between – my time with the Center has been phenomenal! They all truly care about you as an individual and they provide such great patient care!! As far as my surgery goes, I am still SWEAT FREE in my hands! 🤍 I couldn’t be happier with the results! I have (very minor in comparison to living with sweaty hands every single day) compensatory sweating in my lower back and stomach area from time to time, but I’ll take it any day over my sweaty hands! THANK YOU to all of you at the Center who helped me along the way, I appreciate you!!

Wow!! This office, the staff and the doctors are AMAZING! I really can’t say enough good things about this doctor and their staff. From the consultation to the post op, it’s TOP NOTCH. The staff are so friendly and nice and they make you feel really comfortable and safe. Not only did they change my life with the procedure (in a great way) but you don’t see this kind of service in this industry much anymore. From Sandra, Myriam, Dr Basseri, Dr Reisfeld, my anesthesiologist.. everyone was amazing! I would do 10 stars if possible. doctor checked on me weeks after my surgeries and I have dry hands and feet! If you’re suffering from Hyperhydrosis, look no further. This is the place you want to go to. You won’t be disappointed.

It’s been about 90 days since my quality of life changing procedure. I can’t believe how great the results have been. I haven’t had a drip of water from my hands or armpits.
I’d been sweating for years and never thought I’d ever be confident in my job. This truly lived up to everything promised and more.
Everyone at the clinic was top notch and the procedure and recovery were both very minimal compared to the lifetime of confidence I just got back.
I highly recommend anyone considering this procedure to do it here with the best team possible.
My only regret was I didn’t do it sooner in life.

Hello everyone! I would rate this office and the Doctor’s a higher rating if I could. I had hyperhidrosis all my life, in my hands and under my feet. It is a very frustrating, uncomfortable, and an anxious feeling to have to live with it for so long. Paper towels was a must to have anywhere I went. I found Dr. Reisfeld and Dr. Basseri on Google. I did my research, made an appointment for consultation, and still decided not to the procedure. I always kept holding it off because I would hear stories of others and how they experienced side effects and severe compensatory sweating. Speaking with Dr. Basseri, I felt very confident as he explained in details about the procedure. My procedure was done last Friday, and I couldn’t be happier. The staff, the facility, and both Dr. Reisfeld and Dr. Basseri made the whole process quick, stress free, and the results are right away!!! My hands felt warm and completely dry. Sometimes I do get the sensation of the sweat coming back, but its just my mind that is used to the signals. Right now as I am writing this review, my hands would have been soaked in water if I hadn’t done this procedure. I feel so happy, so confident, and can’t wait until I get used to that mindset. Thank you Center for Hyperhidrosis!! Thank you Dr. Reisfeld. Thank you Dr. Basseri. Thank you to the wonderful nurses and the anesthesiologist.
I am so grateful and blessed to have met a staff so dedicated and caring of their patients. If you are experiencing this problem, don’t wait!!!! Call and get a consultation!!
This is not something I could control. I am 33-all these years I thought I could control it and avoid surgery, but that was not the case. It is genetics mostly. Got it from my Dad. This was the best decision I made with the right doctor’s and facility. Sandra, thank you for the easy paperwork process!! Call now, you will not regret!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Basseri and his life-changing ETS procedure. I spent 15 years truly suffering from my hands dripping with sweat—ruining electronic devices, soaking through every piece of paper I touched, and receiving nasty reactions after shaking peoples’ hands… as a professional woman, it was humiliating. I tried every antiperspirant option I could find, eventually graduating to an Iontophoresis machine, and even went so far as to receiving 200 Botox injections in the palms of my hands every 6 months just to minimize the sweating.
After some thorough research on the top ETS surgeons, I found Dr. Basseri (thank goodness) who made the entire experience incredibly comfortable, reassuring, and above all, effective! I wake up with dry hands every single day and I could not feel more confident & free. What was once a daily, humiliating burden no longer exists.
I am grateful that ETS is an option, and for anyone suffering from Hyperhidrosis, I highly recommend you call Dr. Basseri— you’ll be kicking yourself for not exploring his services & investing in yourself sooner.

Our 16yo daughter suffered from Hyperhidrosis since a young age. After years of treatments, medications, and a revolving door of doctors- we were unsuccessful in helping her. Her condition was debilitating and embarrassing, affecting her physically and emotionally. We were desperate for a solution. Doctors in our area had NO knowledge of ETS/ELS procedures. We were blessed to find The Center for Hyperhidrosis and Dr. Eraj Basseri. It was reassuring to know that Dr. Basseri and his predecessor, Dr. Reisfeld, had over 30 years of well-documented experience in this area. They have precisely fine-tuned their techniques to minimize or eliminate any significant side effects. Dr. Basseri was an open book. He made himself available to us anytime. He had confidence, compassion, and professionalism. A plethora of references were provided to us prior to the surgery. We called at least 40 of them. ALL of them shared their personal experiences. MANY described the procedure as being life-changing. We made the trip from Ohio, and our daughter’s surgery was a great success! Words cannot express how thankful we are to Dr. Basseri and his excellent team. We, too, have had a life-changing experience.

I brought my son to Dr Basseri after several years of trying other solutions to his sweaty hands. My 17 year old was extremely frustrated with his hands and it was changing who he was. He had trouble spinning the lock on his locker because his hands were too sweaty. He didn’t want to do his work at school (would wait until he got home) because he couldn’t wipe his hands off enough to keep a pen or pencil in his hand. He didn’t want to play sports outside with his siblings because even dribbling a basketball was awful. He wants to go into business (and he will be starting the University of St Thomas in the fall!) and feared having to shake someone’s hand. He avoided physical contact at all costs, which meant he tabled with the idea of having a girlfriend because there’s no way he would want to have to touch someone. To say the surgery changed his life would be an understatement. By all standards the procedure was quick and easy for him with very minimal discomfort afterwards and a pretty rapid recovery. The team at this center is phenomenal and taught him how to be a good patient. Which I believe is just an added bonus of a lesson at 17. I have nothing but praise for Dr Basseri and his team and am forever grateful I found him. He changed my son’s life!

Our daughter was shutting down. At 15 there was no future insight for her as she struggled with the embarrassment of sweating dripping wet hands and armpits. She stopped playing sports or going outside. We did a search to see what this was and how to help our daughter. We found Dr. Basseri at the Center for Hyperhidrosis. Dr. Basseri was so understanding, kind and very honest. He met our daughter in her head space and explained her condition. A few weeks later our daughter had the surgery and it has changed her life! She has never experienced dry hands. She is so happy and free! She sings through the house every day, she’s constantly holding our hands and loving on everyone. She just took a trip to Europe on her own to see her aunt which was something we never thought we’d see her do. She is alive and excited to live! We are so grateful to Dr. Basseri who even now after so many months still checks in to see how our daughter is doing. If we could see him for all of our health concerns we would! Thank you Dr. Basseri!

Dr. Basseri and his team were amazing! They were all so helpful throughout the entire process of my surgery. I had suffered from hyperhidrosis of my palms and feet since I was a child and never thought I would find a cure. I was insecure about this condition most of my life, and the team at The Center for Hyperhidrosis made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. I can now say that I have found a cure for my palmer hyperhidrosis through ETS and have had dry hands every day since surgery. The decision to move forward with ETS at the Center for Hyperhidrosis has definitely changed my life for the better! I have been so satisfied with the results that I hope to return for my plantar hyperhidrosis in the future. Thank you to everyone at The Center for Hyperhidrosis!!

I am forever thankful for Dr. Basseri. He has no idea how much it means to me to have dry hands and under arms. He has truly changed my life. I have struggled with sweaty hands and underarms my whole life. It was a daily battle and caused constant anxiety. Imagine not being able to shake someone’s hand with confidence, because you know that person can feel the sweat on your hands and they will remember that moment forever.
I knew from the moment I spoke with Dr. Basseri, that he was the only person I would trust to perform this life-changing operation. He clearly explained what hyperhidrosis is, what it causes, and that I was born with this genetic condition and this surgery was the only safe way to resolve the issue. He did an exceptional job of explaining how the surgery works and making the conversation comfortable and beneficial. I flew out to California, the surgery was 100% successful as promised and I woke up from the operation with dry hands and dry under arms for the 1st time in my life. I left California with dry hands and under arms, Dr. Basseri’s personal cell phone number in case I needed anything, and a sense of relief the struggle with my sweaty hands and underarms were over. I even texted him on Christmas to ask if my armpit looked okay and he responded right away. My sense of touch has TOTALLY changed. My grip is better, I can sleep with my hands on my face at night because they are not sweaty anymore, my steering wheel doesn’t slip in my hands anymore when I drive, I LOOK FORWARD to the opportunity to meet new people and shake hands, my underarms no longer grotesquely sweat and smell until my clothes are ruined, and the list goes on..
Everyday, I get to experience NEW enjoyment from living with dry hands and underarms. It is truly unbelievable and I am forever grateful.
If you or someone you know struggles with Hyperhidrosis, reach out to Dr. Basseri and his team at The Center For Hyperhidrosis. He runs a premier practice and it will truly change your life. My only regret, is that I didn’t reach out sooner.
Thanks again Dr. Basseri,
Josh : )

Dr. Basseri and his team are truly god send to me. Absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. I’ve been suffering since I was 15 with sweaty palms and feet. I never thought that I would ever be dry in my hands. Being able to slow dance again, or simply shake a hand it’s so life changing. They work with you and explain everything. I was a bit hesitant in the beginning bec it’s normal your nervous and unsure of the unknown outcome, but they make sure you are comfortable the whole time and take good care of you. I am looking forward to coming back for my feet one day soon. I will forever be thankful to come across such a doctor and clinic. Just wish I did this a long time ago and meet him sooner. Those that suffer from the same issue don’t wait and take care of it. I’ve been so much happier ever since. Thank you again Dr. Basseri and team!!!!!

I got the ELS surgery for my feet in December 2022. Dr. Basseri and his staff were great! They worked with my insurance to help make the process smooth and easy. The pre op appointment was thorough and I felt very prepared going in for surgery! The surgery was quick, and post op instructions were easy to follow. Recovery was exactly as they said it would be which gives me a good deal of confidence to come back and get my hands fixed! My feet have been dry ever since my surgery, something I never thought was possible in my 30 years of life. Thanks so much to everyone at the center! Highly recommend.

Amazing doctor! Dr. Basseri helped me with my surgery for hyperhidrosis for my hands and I couldn’t be happier with my results. The staff are professional and knowledgeable and they are the pioneers of this surgery. Dr. Basseri was always ready and willing to answer all my questions. I never felt pressured to have surgery, but after doing my research, I knew this was the safest place to do my surgery. I am so thankful and no longer suffer from sweaty hands. The surgery changed my life.

Best decision i’ve ever made. Doctor Basseri and his team were amazing at explaining the surgery and recovery process to me. Any questions I had after the surgery, Dr. was quick to answer and help out. He followed up to see my progress and see how I was feeling all throughout the recovery process. after 21 years of dealing with hyerphidrosis, I no longer have sweaty palms anymore. Thank you so much to Doctor Basseri and his team for this life changing experience.

I recently visited Dr. Basseri for my hyperhidrosis treatment. I was feeling extremely nervous and scared about the procedure, but the staff and doctors were incredibly patient with me. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made me feel at ease during the entire process. I am so grateful for their professionalism and understanding. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking treatment for hyperhidrosis. If you were having doubt about having the surgery,don’t be . It was the best decision of my life. I 100% recommend it.

Dr Basseri and the crew of doctors really changed my life. I suffered with Hyperhydrosis since I was a kid and it really affected my life. Not being able to do simple tasks like using a screw driver because my hands were so sweaty. This surgery changed my life and the side effects are not bad at all. I would definitely recommend anyone suffering from Hyperhydrosis like I have to do the surgery.

Where do I even start. Best decision of my life. I’m so thankful for Dr Basseri and all his team. I’ve never felt more secure about doing a surgery in my life. Everything was explained step by step.

Life changing surgery starts here! I had my ETS surgery on October 27, 2023. As a young child, I have always suffered with excessive sweating in my hands and underarms. After surgery everything stopped immediately, I woke up with warm and dry hands and underarms. Thanks, to Dr. Basseri and his team for supporting me along the way. If you suffer from hyperhidrosis, you’re not alone you will be in great hands with the Center of Hyperhidrosis. Thank you Dr. Bassari and your team for making my dream possible.

I had my hyperhidrosis surgery for my hands in June 2023. I had contacted them roughly 6-9 months prior for information and a phone consult with Dr Basseri regarding the surgery. He was professional, detailed, and patient with my questions. The staff in all the departments including billing have been great to work with since my first phone call.
I am so happy with my decision to have this surgery. My hands have remained dry and I have not had a drip of sweat from them. The very most I have a slight clam to my hands when the rest of me is running super hot. But it’s passes quickly and not often. I am done crying over my hands and I feel like I’ve been given such a blessing and kind of a new beginning. Thank you to Dr Basseri and everyone involved!

I’ve had hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember and have tried every possible “fix” recommended to me by multiple dermatologists. None of them worked except for Botox treatments, but it was incredibly painful and lasted only a few weeks.
I found out about the Center for Hyperhidrosis on Instagram and I was intrigued. I learned about the ETS surgery and probably read every single thing written on their website. It took some time and courage to finally call and inquire about the surgery. But I’m so glad I took that first step.
Dr. Basseri walked me through the surgery, answered my questions, and even gave me his direct phone number in case I had any questions later on. I was still hesitant afterwards because the surgery isn’t covered by my insurance, so I knew I had to pay the entire bill out of pocket. But after another year of struggling with my hyperhidrosis, I reached out again and finally scheduled the surgery.
Everyone I spoke to was professional and kind. I felt very well taken cared of for the entire duration. I had a great experience and highly recommend getting the surgery to anyone struggling with hyperhidrosis. It truly changed my life. I owe it all to Dr. Basseri and his amazing team.

My name is Bladen Saunoris, and I am 22 years old from Chicago, Illinois. I had ETS Surgery in November 2023 for both hands and underarms. I struggled with hyperhidrosis my entire life. I sweated through 3-4 shirts a day and had wet hands constantly. This condition was debilitating. I am beyond grateful after getting a life-changing surgery with Dr. Basseri and his team. Dr. Basseri’s effort and the dedication of his staff have transformed my life by addressing my hyperhidrosis. Their professionalism and compassion have not only alleviated my sweating issue but also gave me confidence and restored my quality of life. I had many surgeries before this, and I could confidently say Dr. Basseri is one of the best in the way in which he walks you through the whole process and makes sure you understand each step of the way. The nurse Shosi, who was my nurse pre-op and post-op, was very compassionate and let me know what to expect and made sure I had no surprises. As far as how surgery feels, I had chest pain for about two days and by one week felt perfectly normal. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who has hyperhidrosis and it greatly affects your life.

LIFE CHANGING! I’m still getting used to the fact that my hands and pits will no longer get in the way of life and social interactions. Dr Basseri and staff were exceptional! Even the previous patients were helpful in getting me comfortable for the procedure. I’m 2 months post surgery and my quality of life has been changed for life. Thank you!

I highly recommend Dr. Basseri and his team. Both my daughter and I had the LIFE CHANGING surgery. I cry when I think about how my daughter, especially, suffered for so many years and how now she is so much more confident and living life to the fullest. My symptoms were not as bad as hers, but now that they are gone, I’m also more confident and more comfortable!
If you are considering the surgery, this is the place to go! You will be prepared and everything will go as planned. They are the best!!

Hello everyone! My name is Lawrence and I have been suffering from excessive sweating in the hand and feet. Its not your common clamy hands. This is dripping sweat! I request info with the hyperhidrosis center and they reached out quick. Dr. Basseri was great along with his team. The nurse I had was so sweet!!! I had my ETS surgery done 02/24 and its been great! I am thankful for the doctors! My entire plane ride was smooth. Its feels unreal.

An amazing experience! My son suffered terribly from constant sweaty hands and it was impacting his life in many negative ways including mentally.
The surgery went amazing, very minimal recovery time and no sweaty hands immediately upon waking from surgery.
It’s now been a few months since the surgery and his hands are normal and it’s been life changing.
Dr Baseri and the entire team was amazing, made us feel comfortable right from the initial consultation.
The staff at the facility was also super helpful with everything and made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the entire process.
As far as compensatory sweating my son has not experienced any even though we were prepared and told to expect minimal compensatory sweating.
If you’re struggling with hyperhydrosis I would strongly consider checking out the Center for Hyperhydrosis , it truly was a life changing event for us .

I don’t usually write a review but Dr. Basseri and his staff deserve one from me. My son was suffering from sweating situation that affected his entire life, educationally ,emotionally and anything that anyone can imagine. He decided to leave the school, not willing to work or live his life like all his friends. By the way he tried all other things such as mediation, the machine…..etc non of these worked with him. I personally read a lot about Dr. Basseri and how the patients who did the surgery were really satisfied. We had a Zoom meeting with him and he took his time to explain everything about the surgery and answered all of our questions. It took us 2 months or so to figure out all it’s expense, then I took my son to do the ETS surgery., All staff were very hopeful so I want to say thank you to all of them. As soon as you enter The Center For Hyperhidrosis you feel how the entire staff are very nice, patient and willing to help. Also, the support that I got personally from Dr, Basseri & his teams being out of state patient was unbelievable. He kept calling & texting to check on my son after the surgery.
My son now is happy went back to his normal life start working, went back to his college, start wearing all different colors instead of darker one that he used to wear before doing the surgery.
FYI the other doctor that he used to treat my son in Norfolk, VA assured us that this types of surgery is unsafe and it wont be successful and this is was bad because what he did or what he was trying to do is to close all doors and happiness in my son face. But, I don’t take No as an answer I did my part I searched for the best option, and read a lot about this surgery and Yes in deed my son stop sweating next day as Dr. Bassri promised him. To all parents out there who have teens or young children who are suffering from the same condition reach out to Dr. Bassri learn more about it, ask all questions that you might have and do what is the best for your kids.
Don’t wait and waste your time on shots, medication, machines….etc me personally I applied for Care Credit and I enrolled into a payment plan to pay off his surgery fees, and I will never regret doing that, if I’m paying for my car, house…..etc why I don’t do the same thing for one of my children which they are the most important things in my life and they are my Why? to work hard and do the best for them. Thank you again Dr. Bassri you change my son’s life and you aren’t only his doctor now you are one of our family members and we really appreciate it you:)

I am coming up on 15 years since my i had the ETS surgery for her hands and underarms with Dr Reisfeld. It was the Best decision ever made in my life.
I have two daughters that they had the same problems (Hands and Underarms so my older one had the procedure with Dr. Basseri about 4 years ago and my younger one had it about 3 months ago with Dr Basseri as well.
I myself and both daughters are very happy with the results.
The staffs at center of hyperhidrosis were very kind, caring, informative and professional. If you are suffering from hyperhidrosis on your hands, underarms or feet, I definitely recommend you to go with ETS surgery with Dr Basseri.

Dr. Basseri and his team made me feel so comfortable and well informed before getting this procedure done. Not once did I question Doctor Basseri’s knowledge or worry that anything may go wrong. His team was always very responsive, especially Sandra who helped me throughout the entire process. I had this procedure done last Summer and it has been absolutely life changing. I did so much research before getting the surgery on my hands and Dr. Basseri is definitely the only doctor I would have trusted with this surgery. He also checked up on me post surgery and responded to all my questions. Not once did he make me feel like I was a nuisance. I cannot recommend Dr. Basseri and his team enough, they truly give you the best care.

Dr. Basseri and his team changed my daughter’s life forever. My daughter had extreme sweating on her palms and armpits and as a teenager she missed out on so many events and opportunities due to this problem.
We are so thankful to have found Dr. Basseri.
The operation was very successful and his consistent follow ups and guidance made everything even easier. The entire team is Very professional and experienced.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏

My daughter has had sweaty hands for years. I found Dr Basseri and we scheduled the surgery for 7/2023. We traveled from Texas! The whole process of being out of state was very easy. Lots of stuff done over FaceTime and texts. After surgery her hands were dry. I can’t thank Dr Basseri enough for constantly texting me to checkup on Sloan. I appreciated the ability to contact him whenever I needed to if I had questions during her recovery.

My 17-year-old son underwent ETS surgery for severe hyperhidrosis last December, and I can’t express enough gratitude for Dr. Eraj Basseri and his entire Team. Our journey with hyperhidrosis began when our son was just 11, and it’s been a long, challenging road since then. Despite his love for sports and social activities, hyperhidrosis cast a shadow over his enjoyment, making simple daily tasks and gestures like driving, taking notes in school, shaking hands or high-fiving teammates a source of anxiety rather than joy.
We explored numerous treatments over the years, from medications to off-market solutions, but nothing offered lasting relief. ETS surgery was always an option, but like any concerned parent, we hesitated due to the risks we had read about. However, after meeting with Dr. Basseri, we knew we were in capable hands.
Dr. Basseri’s expertise, patience, and compassion were evident from our first consultation. He took the time to address all our concerns, explaining the procedure and its potential outcomes thoroughly. His dedication to patient care was evident throughout the entire process, from pre-surgery preparations to post-operative follow-ups. He is truly the GOLD STANDARD in medicine.
Now, several months post-surgery, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the positive impact Dr. Basseri has had on our son’s life. He’s no longer held back by hyperhidrosis, allowing him to fully embrace life’s experiences without the burden of excessive sweating. His renewed confidence and enthusiasm are evident in every aspect of his life, from sports to social interactions.
As a parent, seeing my son thrive after years of struggle is truly priceless. Dr. Basseri’s skill and compassion have given him a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. I can’t recommend Dr. Basseri highly enough to anyone considering ETS surgery for themselves or their child. Thank you, Dr. Basseri, for being our guardian angel.

My daughter was a patient of Dr. Basseri at the Center for Hyperhidrosis this past February (2024). We discovered the Center through a Google search – and from the first contact with Dr Basseri, we knew this is where she needed to go! Everyone at the Center was very responsive and friendly and helped us navigate the pre-surgery process. Dr. Basseri spent a lot of time with my daughter and I during the pre-op appointment, making sure we understood everything and were comfortable. His follow up and concern post-surgery was incredible. No, doubt it has been a life changer for my daughter, who no longer suffers from palmar hyperhidrosis!!
Are there things to understand about insurance, cost, compensatory sweating….absolutely – but everything is discussed thoroughly and openly – so there are no surprises pre or post surgery.
I asked my daughter the other day…would you do it again – “NO DOUBT!”

I’ve suffered with hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember and after trying lots of different solutions, I accepted that it was something I just had to live with for the rest of the my life. I had searched ETS surgery many times over the years and always concluded that I didn’t feel comfortable with it. That was until I luckily came across the Center for Hyperhidrosis on TikTok and started researching the company and Dr Basseri.
I was so excited from what I had researched and all the positive stories so I booked in a call with them. When I had my call with Dr Basseri I knew within minutes that this guy was a TOTAL expert in this field and by the end of the call I was ready to go ahead and book surgery. I was so nervous but my gut feeling was so strong that it felt like the right and only place I could get it done.
From the moment I booked, the team were amazing and helped me organising timings, pre op testing locally (I am based in the UK) and answered the phone/email straight away.
On arrival in my pre op meeting Dr. Basseri walked me through the surgery and answered any questions. The surgery was so smooth and everyone involved was so caring and professional. I was well cared for throughout.
I cannot put in words how much this has truly changed my life. I owe it all to Dr. Basseri and his amazing team.

My 15 year old daughter completed her ETS surgery in June 2024. Let me tell you, the most life changing, wonderful team we could have ever asked for. I have been an RN for 15 years so I am very familiar with the medical world. Beyond impressed and so thankful to God that we found The Center for Hyperhidrosis. We flew home the next day. Her hands are warm and dry. Dr. Basseri and Dr. Reisfeld are absolutely incredible. I was shocked by the thorough follow up care by Dr. Basseri. I’ve never known a surgeon so accessible. The staff as a whole have been wonderful. This has changed my sweet daughter’s life forever. Our entire family is eternally grateful. Thank you all!
Update: September 2024-still sweat free and doing amazing. Worth every penny.

I am very happy to be able to share my experience with Dr. Basseri and his team. Excellent treatment and excellent facilities. It is the best decision I could have made in my life, a change forever. I felt like I was treated like family and Dr. Eraj also cares about each patient. Thank you very much for everything.

This facility and the health care team at this practice is like no other. Dr. Basseri is superb. He is professional yet so caring and understanding. He is an excellent surgeon. He trained under the best and his skill set was super apparent. His nurses were excellent as well. I wish all doctors ans their teams could replicate Dr. Basseri. Anyone contemplating surgery should not even blink an eye. Get it done you will never look back only forward.

Dr. Basseri changed our son’s life and we couldn’t be more grateful. Our son can now live a normal life without his Hyperhidrosis holding him back and limiting him. We are forever thankful and look forward to returning in the future for our other children.♥️

I suffered with Hyperhidrosis since I was a little kid. Having this condition affected my daily life and caused me a lot anxiety and constant embarrassment. Doctor Basseri is so amazing! He made me feel so comfortable and knows exactly what he is doing. Getting this surgery done has truly been life changing and the best decision I’ve ever made. I was very worried at first because I didn’t believe that anything would actually stop the sweating for good. I tried numerous creams, wipes, and medications and nothing ever worked for me. I knew I had to resort to surgery because I couldn’t deal with the sweating any longer. It has now been 6 months since I got the surgery done and my hands and armpits have not sweat since. It was a very easy recovery and I was dry from the second I woke up from surgery. I feel like a changed women! Doctor Basseri also checked in on me numerous times after my surgery to make sure I was doing well. I can now do so many things with confidence and not have that stress about when my hands are going to sweat. I highly recommend Doctor Basseri to anyone who also suffers with hyperhidrosis. I promise you will be so happy just like I am.

This surgery is everything I ever wanted. I’m no longer nervous meeting new people, knowing the first thing they want to do is shake my hand. I’m no longer scared to takeoff my shoes around others, knowing an odor could be coming from them. This is the life-changing surgery I never knew was available. I’m grateful for Dr. Basseri and his team, everybody was extremely nice and professional. I would recommend anybody who has this condition to see Dr. Basseri. I do want others to keep in mind there are side effects. Yes, your body will sweat in other places, such as your abdomen and back. In my opinion, those are more normal places to be sweating and don’t cause me any embarrassment vs my hands and feet. All in all I couldn’t be more happier with the results. No more dodging holding hands with someone or slipping in my sandals. I still can’t believe this is my new life and I love it!

Dr. Basseri and his team are incredible! I suffered from Hyperhidrosis in my palms and feet since I could remember and have tried non-surgical treatments with no luck. The condition was debilitating and caused incredible social anxiety. Luckily I found Dr. Basseri, and learned about his state-of-the art ETS surgery. From the first consultation he was extremely knowledgable, empathetic and immediately put me at ease. His staff was communicative and worked with me every step of the way to ensure a seamless experience.
The surgery was a quick out-patient procedure with minimal recovery time. It worked immediately and my hands have been sweat free since then- truly life changing! Do not think twice, this was the best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you Dr. Basseri and team <3

My experience with Dr Basseri and his staff has been nothing short of a god send. My grandson has been struggling with this condition for many years (most of which we had no idea what it was called). Most local doctors tried to treat him with creams and medication. None of which worked. He was to the point where he felt like an outcast not wanting to socialize and was embarrassed to go out with friends and even contemplated ending his life. Fortunately his grandmother did a google search and found the center for Hyperhidrosis. After making the initial call with my grandson and talking to Dr Basseri we decided that this was our best option to resolve his problem. Thank god we did. Everything they told us about what would happen DID!!! The care and empathy they showed was amazing. The procedure resulted in my grandson regaining his life back. No more sweaty hands, underarms and some additional areas as well. He is now back to work able to socialize without having to worry about his previous embarrassing condition. It literally saved his life. He now feels NORMAL. I couldn’t be happier with the results and how Dr Basseri and his staff treated us. I highly recommend this Center if you’re in need of help for Hyperhidrosis.

David Stockburger
I had my surgery 2 months ago. I cannot recommend the Center for Hyperhidrosis enough! I have a medical condition that made my surgery a little more involved than it is for the average patient. Dr. Basseri was wonderful and so persistent in helping me arrange all the extra blood work and pre op care which was a several months long process. He was very thorough explaining the procedure and what to expect afterwards which made me feel very comfortable going into surgery. He checked on me multiple times for about 2 weeks post op to make sure I was doing ok and answer any questions. Rebecca was also amazing in helping coordinate everything and answer all my questions.
I have been loving my new life with dry hands and underarms! I have a lot less anxiety in social situations and have been enjoying doing simple daily tasks without a second thought like writing on paper, putting on gloves, and driving. I am so happy I can wear whatever I want now without worrying about sweat stains or whether the fabric is absorbent enough. I have also noticed some things are much easier now that I didn’t even realize were hard for me before surgery like getting a piece of scotch tape. Needless to say, this surgery has been life changing!

It has been over a year since my palmar hyperhidrosis parasympathectomy. I cannot emphasize what a saving grace this surgery has been and what an INCREDIBLE surgeon Dr. Basseri is. He is a top of the line highly skilled surgeon, the best of his specialty. To top that, he is one of the most caring, genuine, warm-hearted and genuinely compassionate people I have ever met. Someone who performed a surgery for a condition that every other doctor has told me to just “not think about” or “not worry” about, is checking in to assess my life and asking me how I’m doing post-op. It has taken me way too long to write a proper review – honestly because it is nearly impossible to dictate how absolutely life changing and wonderful my surgery at The Center for Hyperhidrosis was. I have put off this review thinking about all the ways I can describe the positive impact it has had on my life… no words can do it justice. Hyperhidrosis plagued my life with humiliation, torture, and complete and utter panic anxiety. My childhood and adulthood were incredibly difficult and intimacy was nearly impossible. With that being said, this surgery allowed me to have a life of my dreams and hands that no longer drip sweat, anxiety that is no longer paralyzing, the opportunity to wear open toed shoes most days, and the gift of freedom from hyperhidrosis. It was the best decision I have ever made. I cannot emphasize enough to anyone with hyperhidrosis to choose The Center for Hyperhidrosis.

I had my ETS surgery around six months ago and haven’t had to worry about my hands sweating for one second since. as soon as I woke up from the surgery I had completely dry hands, and no matter how much I thought about it ( which always brought on the sweating ) they stayed dry. as a book lover, reading has been my favorite sweat free activity but i’ve been able to do so much more things after this procedure that I didn’t even dream of doing with dripping hands. truly, it changed my life. and at first my feet got better after the ETS surgery, but the sweat did return after a month or so. I decided I wanted to take the jump and have the ELS procedure done too to be completely sweat free and be able to get off my Glycopyrrolate medication.
I’d also like to add that Doctor Basseri is the best doctor i’ve ever had in my entire life. He’s so informative and kind, it’s a true joy to see him each time. It clear that he really cares about his patients. They even check up on you after the surgery every now and then. I’ve never had a better surgery experience , i’m so thankful for both the doctors and these two life changing surgeries.

As I proudly type without a drop of sweat on my keyboard, I wish to say thank you for all Dr. Basseri and the Center for Hyperhidrosis has done for me. I feel lucky to live in a time where there is such a resource available, and for it to be performed at a facility with a staff that cares so much about the patient’s wellbeing. From the moment I found out about The Center for Hyperhidrosis, the team has been excellent, especially in reassuring me and my family about any questions we had, and the surgery was scheduled within about a month of us calling. The process was quick and the directions were clear, and I am thrilled with the results. I had my hands and armpits done, and although my feet have gone back to sweating again, it is what I expected, and even though they sweat, it seems to be less severe. Since my surgery I have had this sense of fearlessness, like I have absolutely nothing to hide. I am confident at my job as a waiter, no longer handing out wet receipts and pens, and not having to wipe my hands on my pants before carrying a martini glass, or putting away clean silverware. At my job as a teacher, I never am distracted by my hands, nor concerned about anyone noticing. Playing bass and piano has been wonderful. I had my rusty guitar pickups switched out and no longer have to worry about corrosion or damage, and when I play I can actually focus on the groove and not on finding a good time to wipe the neck of the guitar with my sleeve. A lot of things have seemed to become easier, and my confidence in my daily life has never been better.
Overall, this has been the most life-changing experience I have ever had, and I can’t think of a way that the process could have been any better. A special thanks to Dr. Basseri for his beyond-generous level of communication. I will never forget how helpful that was both before and after surgery, and it is something I will forever admire on a professional level. Another thank you to Sabrina. Her genuinely warm personality during the filming of her video was a special and memorable time for us. I may be back for my feet, but until then, a deeply felt thank you to the entire staff.

I was so happy to have found the Center For Hyperhidrosis when I did! I’ve dealt with hyperhidrosis for 27 years, and I had no idea that there was even a diagnosis, or that it could be treated effectively. I tried all of the creams and treatments that were available, and nothing really worked at all. I had previously had my surgery for sweaty palms with my Kaiser doctor here in San Francisco, and that went very smoothly. I spent one night in the hospital, and honestly felt like I could’ve used another. I was surprised to hear that for the foot surgery, Dr. Basseri said that I would be able to go home that day. I certainly had a difficult recovery from the hand surgery, as my lungs felt weak for sometime afterwards, and the pain management was a bit tricky for the first two days.
I expected similar recovery time and treatment from the Center For Hyperhidrosis, and if I’m being honest, I wish that they did offer this. Because most people are flying in for this surgery, They are often getting into an Uber and going back to their hotels to recover, when I find that it probably would’ve been much more comfortable, and made me feel safer, to have been able to stay in the hospital, or facility overnight. However, the process was very smooth with Dr. Basseri and his team. I flew in on Thursday morning to Beverly Hills, I went in for my in person, preop consultation, and this went very smoothly! They walked me through every single step of the surgery, and the process and the recovery, and showed me where everything would happen and talk to me about, all of the little details that might have slipped before hand. The one thing I do wish is that I was more prepared for this consultation. I was told that I would need to come in to their office for a consultation the day before my surgery, however, I was not exactly sure what would happen during this appointment. While I have the entire day free because I flew to LA for the surgery, I did not realize I would be there for hours going through every single detail of both my medical situation, and what procedure was to come the next day. Moving forward I think they should definitely give a little summary on what to expect on that day, but I don’t want that to take away from the fact that I was very grateful to have that time and guidance before the big day.
Everything went super smoothly for my surgery, I had massive anxiety, and they helped me with that, and gave me some thing for that, I don’t remember much from the day, but I do remember waking up immediately with dry feet, and my feet have not sweat again since then! After the surgery for my hands, I was left with a lot of compensatory sweating in areas of my body, that I normally did not sweat before, but after this surgery, I found that overall compensatory sweating has gone down, which is an amazing, added bonus! I also want to add that Dr. Basseri has been incredibly attentive and responsive. He really doesn’t go more than 10 minutes without responding to a text message whether it’s a question a comment or really just want to discuss some thing we’re feeling uneasy about or may be a side effect from a medication. He makes himself very available, even right when he gets out of surgery, and I found this to be very helpful and made me feel so much more at ease, knowing that he was there if I needed him.
The last bit of feedback I will give here is that I also wish I had clear expectations when it came to scarring. As someone with brown skin, I wish I knew this because my skin scars and creates dark spots very easily and quickly and I would’ve been more on top of getting scar cream and scar tape. This was really not mentioned to me or suggested until I asked about it and followed up. Otherwise, this is a great team of very passionate people, and they took amazing care of me. If you’re hesitating, having the surgery, I would just do it! It is absolutely life-changing and I wonder if Dr. Basseri will share this technique in the future so that other doctors can help their patients around the country.

First I want to say, I so regret not filming my experience from start to finish. I definitely wish I did but results is what matters at this point and it’s been over two months, since I had my surgery on Feb 28 and I’m still in disbelief that this sweaty hand condition I had for over 32 years is gone and it’s almost like I never had it. I’m a new person that now looks to embrace a handshake without hesitation. If you are considering and debating if you should have this surgery just do it trying other methods will only lead to you revisiting this option. The staff was A1 from beginning to end recovery was mild slight pain as expected when healing but the excitement of dry hands really makes you tolerate it and Dr. Basseri consistently checks up on you and your progress to assure you of what to expect during recovery. This truly is a God send because I was told as I get older it would disappear and it got worse but now I’m living the life I always envisioned and I’m just getting started thanks again Dr. Reisfeld & Dr. Basseri!!!

I truly cannot begin to express by gratitude for Dr. Basseri and all the amazing staff at the Center for Hyperdyrosis. After suffering for the entirety of my life, I was under the impression that I would have to live with this condition for the rest of my life. It seemed as if it was getting worse as the days went on. After a quick google search, I came across the Center for Hyperhydrosis and submitted a request for a phone consultation. I was on the phone with Dr. Basseri the next day. He took the time to explain the procedure and answer all my questions making me feel at ease about the procedure. He also connected me with a patient liaison who shared her own experience and assured me I was in good hands. It was so nice to connect with someone who had been in my shoes and was now on the other side of it. Within a month, I was in the surgery center ready for my operation. I was more so excited than I was nervous. The staff could not have been more kind, accommodating, or welcoming. They were all just as excited as I was that I was about to be free of suffering. Dr. Basseri took the time to check on multiple times in the following weeks making sure I was healing and doing well post-op. It has now been a month and a half of since my surgery and my hands HAVE NOT SWEAT SINCE. If you are having doubts, do not think twice about getting this procedure done by Dr. Basseri. My expectations were exceeded and I can now live life with so much less anxiety. It is truly a miracle.

I had 2 ETS surgeries (at previous clinics) & was still left with lower body & feet sweat. At the time, I thought I’d have to adapt to life with sweaty feet by wearing socks 24/7. Until, I came across the center of hyperhidrosis & Dr baserri. As of 11/2024, my life has changed. No more sweat stains from my lower body or my socks. I put lotion on my feet at night & can feel the softness of my bedding & blankets. I don’t feel ashamed to have my feet out. I feel more confident. My socks went from being something I couldn’t live without, the most important piece of clothing in my wardrobe, & washing 20 pairs per load to washing 4 pairs per load & them being the clothing I avoid most! If I don’t have to wear socks, I don’t anymore & it’s been the biggest breath of fresh air.
Since I was in 4th grade, I have been seeking treatment for hyperhidrosis. I have noticed that when my feet sweat, it makes my entire body sweat and I become more frustrated & irritated over daily things. Since the ELS surgery, I have noticed less overall body sweat & less irritability.
Dr Basseri & his team are one of the best, most caring & genuine providers I have experienced.

The Center For Hyperhidrosis changed my life! I have been dealing with sweaty hands and feet since I was a teen. It is something that I leaned to live with and thought about daily. Up until recently I did not realize how much it has actually affected my day to day life and mental health. I have tried many natural remedies and nothing has worked. When I found out about this surgery I immediately wanted to know more, I couldn’t actually believe that there was something I could do about my sweaty hands. Dr. Basseri was extremely kind and explained that the procedure would completely dry out my hands. I started bawling at the thought. Now it’s been over a year after my surgery and it’s truly the best thing I’ve ever done! I could not recommend Dr. Basseri more. If you are even considering going through with the procedure or have any doubts, I can guarantee you that it will be worth it. I am much more confident and happier not having to worry about my sweaty hand. Shaking others hands used to be my biggest anxiety, now I can without a second thought. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Basseri’s office!

I’m proud of The Center for Hyperhidros for their impact on The community. Thanks to them I learned I’m not alone. I had the surgery a month ago, and It feels like magic to have totally dry hand all the time. And I can say for sure that you are in the safe hands of world’s most experienced doctors. All the stuff is highly qualified and supportive, you will get the best treatment and 24/7 support! Doctor Eraj Basseri is a fantastic specialist, his work is totally perfect. I live in Russia and I spend !years! searching for information about the surgery, and there is no place in the world that has as much experience as The Center For Hyperhidrosis does! That is why I travel on the other side of the world to do the surgery. And it definitely worth it

I had my ETS surgery for hand hyperhidrosis with this center about six weeks ago. I have had this condition since early childhood and had tried various alternative solutions over the years, none of which had worked for me. In my first call with Dr Basseri, he carefully explained all aspects of the surgery, and especially how the team here have improved the surgical procedure, which mitigates potential side effects such as compensatory sweating. This made me determined to choose Dr Basseri and Dr Reisfeld despite living in NYC. Flashforward, since the moment I opened my eyes, my hands and underarms hyperhidrosis are completely healed. The surgery has also solved my facial and hair hyperhidrosis. And fortunately, I haven’t experienced any compensatory sweating! This has been a completely life changing experience in both my work and my social life. Dr Basseri cares about his patients and has been checking on me since the surgery. The team will guide you through every step of this procedure and will answer your questions. I highly recommend this medical team for your surgery; they’re truly exceptional!

i wanted to say thank you to Dr. Basseri and his team. i have been struggling with hyperhydrosis for as long as i can remember. for years, i would feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. I would be terrified to shake someones hand, i couldn’t hold anyones hand. in school, it would be difficult to write. it affected my job. my hands would be so sweaty that they would swell up from how much moisture they held. every time someone would accidentally brush against my hands they would think my hands were wet. I’ve gone to doctors and dermatologists and was prescribed with topical solutions. these solutions did not help at all. i knew what i had was uncommon so i decided to do my own research. i came across the iontophoresis machine. i would do this on my hands and feet daily but these results were temporary. i was very discouraged. having to take 40 extra minutes every morning to do this treatment made me wonder if there was any permanent solutions. As i did more research i came across Dr. Basseri and his team. i was extremely nervous as others may be, about wanting to get a procedure done. but i was also encouraged to know that my results would be permanent. i decided to schedule my consultation. i spoke with Dr. Basseri over the phone and he went over all of my questions and concerns. he explained everything i needed to know about the procedure. he was also happy to tell me that every one of his stories was a success story. i knew i was in good hands from here. I worked with his team in the office to make sure i got everything that i needed for pre op. I scheduled my surgery a few months later. My mom and I flew in to see Dr. Basseri and his team. the day we got there we went in and I had another consultation. Dr.Basseri went over everything again for my mom and I. He even drew up a sketch for us to visibly have an understanding on the procedure. I then met the team that took care of me at the surgical center. They went over exactly how i would be feeling when i woke up, how much pain medication to take and when to take it, what i should eat, what i should wear when i come in. all of this information made me feel comfortable. However i was still very nervous for surgery. The following day was when my surgery was scheduled. Everyone did such a great job taking care of me. i felt like they were excited for me to come out of there with completely dry hands. when i woke up i could not believe my results. and till this day i still can’t believe it. i no longer have to worry about my hand’s sweating when i walk in a room full of people. i no longer have to dodge the handshakes. Dr. Basseri really did so amazing. Recovery was the most uncomfortable part about my whole experience. during my consultation, Dr. Basseri’s team let me know that i would feel pretty tight in my chest. and also shortness of breath when walking around. I could say by the last day of my trip, i was feeling way better. I definitely experienced those side effects though. It took me about a week to feel like my normal self again, and be able to start exercising again. When i woke up from my surgery i was released to my mom the same day. we were able to fly back home the day after. to anyone that is doing research. this is the best decision you will make. You will be so well taken care of, and the results are so beautiful. I will be returning to see Dr. Basseri and his team, to take care of hyperhydrosis in my feet. He is the only doctor that has success stories for the feet as well. Thank you again Dr, and your team for making this so easy for me. you all truly changed my life.

My excessively sweaty hands had negatively impacted my social, emotional, and physical well-being my entire life. The prospect of experiencing life without this burden seemed like an unattainable dream, until a close friend shared with me an Instagram story from the Center of Hyperhidrosis. Filled with nervous anticipation, I reached out to Dr. Basseri and his team, who answered all my questions and helped me feel more at ease about the surgery. It was helpful to talk with past patients about their experiences as well. In August, I underwent ETS surgery with Dr. Basseri. Today, I am happy to share that the surgery was a success! I am immensely grateful to Dr. Basseri and the entire team at the Center for Hyperhidrosis for this new chapter of my life.

I had surgery in May of this year, and it’s been truly a blessing & life changing! This surgery is everything I ever wanted. I had such a positive experience with Dr.Basseri and his entire staff. I reached out to The Center of Hyperhidrosis about 6 months ago after resonating with a Tik Tok video of a former patient who had undergone surgery who is also a patient educator. After connecting with her posts, I reached out and she was kind and sweet enough to set up a phone call where she shared her Personal Hyperhidrosis story & experience with surgery and was willing to answer my many questions. Having the opportunity to connect with someone who related and had undergone surgery made me feel at ease and comfortable with my overall decision making. Bri put me in direct contact with Dr.Basseri for a phone consultation where he explained everything in detail about hyperhidrosis and what surgery entails and what I can expect during pre-op and post-surgery. He was open and honest about surgery and fully transparent on what to expect. Dr.Basseri continues to go above and beyond by reaching out many times after surgery to make sure I was feeling okay. I’m happy to say I no longer constantly worry about my hands or underarms sweating. It’s still something I’m getting used to 3 months post op. I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone who is struggling, as it really is the best quality and most innovative care for Hyperhidrosis, my only regret is not doing it sooner.

I had surgery in May of this year and it has been the best decision ever. I have struggled with Hyperhydrosis for as long as I can remember and I still can’t get used to the fact that my hands are dry. It has been the weirdest but best thing ever. Dr. Basseri and his team made the whole process a breeze and answered any and all questions I had from the beginning to the end. He is very knowledgeable and I would 100% recommend him to anyone struggling with Hyperhydrosis. The surgery is immediate and very noninvasive. They walk along side you before during and after!! Dr. Basseri and his team are the best out there.

I started my process a long time ago, I first had a phone consult with Dr.Basseri where he explained the procedure, answered any questions I had, and made sure I was a good candidate for the surgery. The conversation went great, wasn’t rushed at all. Shortly after we confirmed that I was a good candidate and I decided that I wanted to move forward with the surgery, the friendly office staff got in contact with me and got all of the paperwork started.
Unfortunately, my insurance company was TERRIBLE, no fault of the drs office, but the insurance company did not want to cooperate whatsoever and significantly delayed my surgery date. Thankfully, Stella, who works at the Center for Hyperhidrosis, spent hours of her time, week after week, on the phone with me helping fight the insurance company to cover the surgery. She was an amazing help, was very intelligent in all things related to insurance, and 100% had my back fighting for the insurance company to cover the surgery. I can not thank her enough for all of her help!
Once the insurance was figured out, I got a call from Sandra and Nichole, the surgery coordinator and one of the nurses for the surgery center (I believe these were their names and roles). They were also amazing! They explained every part of the process in preparing for and scheduling surgery and worked with me every step of the way. I was able to schedule my surgery very quickly and not far out from the date of our phone conversation.
My pre-op appointment with Dr.Basseri was unlike any drs appointment Ive ever had or been to with a family member before. Dr.Basseri, himself, spent so much time with my family and I. He fully explained the procedure in great detail, answered any and all of my questions, and really got to know me as a person. He asked about my hobbies, schooling, career, and things I was looking forward to after surgery. I could not have been more comfortable and excited to get this surgery than I was after meeting with Dr.Basseri. Truly an amazing person and doctor, and I could not speak more highly of him. Looking back, knowing what I know now and what the outcome of the surgery is, I can say for certain that he explained perfectly and fully everything that I should expect following the surgery. I had ETS surgery and he said my hands would go from sweating at a 10 to a 0 (that blew me away when he said that, I never thought they would stop sweating, BUT THEY DID!), he said that there would be compensatory sweating in my back, stomach, and legs which would really only be during exercise or when I was hot and would normally sweat — all of which I was explained to me ahead of time and again in the office. Everything that he told me to expect was right on the money. No surprises or anything other than what he told me to expect happened.
After over an hour of talking with him in the pre-op appointment, we went to the actual surgical center that was just down the hall from the office itself. There we met with more of the surgical team and did a little but of paperwork. The surgical nurses that we met with were, again, amazing. They answered any questions we had and explained the pre-op and post-op instructions once again.
The day of surgery, we got everything started early in the morning. Met with the surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologist and other members of the surgical team before surgery. The again asked if I had any questions and got everything started for surgery. The whole thing was pretty painless and easy. I had 4 small incisions, and only 2 small scars are actually visible (he was able to hide them pretty well). After surgery, almost everyday, for about the next 2 weeks, I got a call/text from Dr.Basseri and the surgical team checking in on how I was doing. This was truly an experience and level of care that I have received unlike any that Ive ever had before. My hands have been 100% sweat free ever since and I wish I had done this sooner. Could not speak more highly of Dr.Basseri, his team, or his office. If you’re questioning this procedure, call them, and do it! Its life changing!

We are coming up on two years since my daughter had the ETS surgery for her hands. Best decision ever! I don’t think that she would’ve been able to make it through nursing school the last two years having to put on gloves with dripping, wet hands. Dr. Basseri and his staff were kind, caring, informative and professional. If you are suffering from hyperhidrosis on your hands or feet, definitely speak with them about the possibilities of changing your life.

Quite honestly, the attention to detail and care from everyone in the clinic, especially Dr Basseri, was out of this world!!! First doctor we have ever met, that was not on hurry to get to another patient, but gave us his time and undivided attention, thank you!
Results are unbelievable and immediate, we left with only one question, why we didn’t do this earlier? We’re more than greatful!!!

The center for hyperhidrosis has been life saving. I had the procedure for my hands in May 2025 and was also able to get my under arms addressed. Now no sweating of the hands or underarms. I’m able to wear things that would have underarm sweat in the past. I’m having the foot procedure in 2 weeks. If you have hyperhydrosis of the hands or feet I would definitely recommend. My quality of life has sky rocketed.

I’m writing this review six months after having hand surgery with Dr. Basseri, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Basseri is amazing, and his entire staff is professional and attentive. Since the surgery, I’ve had no sweating on my palms, and I feel better than ever. I’m beyond grateful for the life-changing impact this procedure has had on me.
Thank you so much, Dr. Basseri, for everything you’ve done. This has truly been one of the best decisions of my life!

Dr. Brasseri and his team are the absolute best! My teenage daughter suffers/suffered from hyperhidrosis on her palms and feet, and after years of unsuccessful treatments she decided she wanted to look into getting surgery. We were referred to The Center for Hyperhidrosis and from the initial conversation with Dr. Brasseri we knew she would be in great hands. He clearly communicated every step of the surgical process, what recovery would be like, potential side effects, and patiently answered all of our questions.
Because of Dr. Brasseri’s knowledge and expertise she elected to get the endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS). On the day of the surgery we were welcomed by the friendly staff into the beautiful, clean surgical center. Although surgery can be a scary experience Dr. Brasseri and the team took such great care of her, and made her feel safe and comfortable. Dr. Brasseri followed up several times post-surgery to see how she was doing, which really shows that he cares about his patients.
The ETS was a huge success and has given my daughter the freedom of dry hands! To say Dr. Brasseri is a miracle worker is an understatement. My daughter has so much more self-confidence now, and is so happy with the results that she wants to return to have it done again for her feet in the future. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Dr. Brasseri and The Center for Hyperhidrosis. Thank you, and see you next time!

I am so happy I had the procedure. Being able to do normal every day tasks without sweaty hands has improved my confidence and saved me so much time. I no longer have to feel humiliation and take every opportunity to shake people’s hands! The staff at the Center for Hyperhidrosis walked me through all details, assisted with my insurance company approvals and made the process so easy and effortless. The care and kindness I received from the Doctors and nurses was refreshing, they made me feel like family. Dr Basseri checked in with me every few hours after surgery the first night and then every few days for the first couple of weeks. I am very impressed with every aspect of my experience and so very happy I decided to have the surgery and chose Dr Basseri to be my surgeon. I highly recommend the procedure and Dr Basseri to anyone who has Hyperhidrosis. If you want to have this procedure and want to be cared for by people who care about your wellbeing as much as you do, choose the Center for Hyperhidrosis!!

I received ETS surgery in November of 2024 and it has absolutely changed my life. I flew from New York to LA to have this procedure done and I could not be happier with the results. Everyone at the surgery center was kind and informative. Dr. Basseri took the time to explain every aspect of the procedure, recovery and anatomy of the surgery. I’ve never felt more validated or cared for by a group of people. I couldn’t recommend The Center For Hyperhidrosis more! They have changed my life for the better!!

I lived with sever Hyperhidrosis my whole life. 34 years of restrictions. For 34 years I felt like my body was a prison. Getting my nails done was short of relaxing. I had to take a fan with me and it would become painful. I couldn’t open doors because I couldn’t grip the doorknobs. I couldn’t even comfortably pet my cats. I was struggling at my job as I was needing to take PTO due to just not being able to use my hands. Dr. Basseri changed my life. He saved my life. I am no longer a prisoner in my own body. I have a relaxing experience at the nail salon now, I can play video games, complete my job, and hold hands with my partner. I have so much more energy as my body is not using all of it to try to maintain my temperature. I have my next surgery scheduled in just a couple weeks for my feet. I am beyond excited to not go through sandals monthly, wear heals, and be comfortable barefoot.

I have been living with sweaty hands and feet for as long as I can remember. I have always just tried to avoid shaking hands with people and have worn sneakers with socks. The Center for Hyperhydrosis changed my life. After I had surgery for both my hands and feet, my confidence levels changed. I accepted a job that I would never have even applied for prior to my surgery. Dr. Basseri and the entire team were wonderful. They walked me through every step of the surgery. I couldn’t recommend them more.

I had surgery last year with Dr. Basseri to treat the excessive sweating on my palms. I found Dr. Basseri to be extremely knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable with the facilities and the staff. Overall I’m very happy with the experience and the results and would definitely recommend Dr. Basseri to others looking to treat their hyperhidrosis. My only piece of feedback/advise would be to take the extra time after the surgery to rest in the clinic. I think my drive home (I’m local to LA) would have been a bit more comfortable with an extra hour or two of recovery in the clinic.

September 20, 2024 will be a day I will never forget. My life changed completely as it was the day of my ETS surgery at The Center for Hyperhidrosis.
I suffered from palmar, plantar, and axillary hyperhidrosis my whole life and after trying so many different options I was at my wits end, and finally decided I wanted and needed a permanent solution. My severe sweaty palms was such a detrimental factor in my life that it dictated everything I did, and I felt that I could never be successful living with this condition.
So finally, at the age of 34 I seriously started to consider ETS surgery. I found The Center for Hyperhidrosis and after some research concluded that this facility was the best, and most importantly, the most experienced with treating this condition. I scheduled a phone consultation with Dr. Basseri and after answering all my questions I knew this was the place to have it at. If you’ve done any research on the ETS surgery itself, you probably came across some horror stories regarding severe compensatory sweating. This was the only thing I was concerned about originally, but after speaking with past patients of the clinic and Dr.Basseri himself, I felt confident in the procedure. Dr. Basseri does a great job at making sure this surgery is right for you. This is why his success rate is so high. He clearly prides himself with wanting the best outcome for you and this really shows he cares for his patients first of foremost.
The staff at the center did a great job keeping me updated and going through the process of filling out the paperwork needed. My insurance wouldn’t cover the cost as they have their own in network surgeons that can do the ETS surgery. However, I knew Dr. Basseri and Dr. Reisfeld were the best at what they do and I did not want to go to another surgeon who maybe does a few of these surgeries a year. So I opted to pay out of pocket to have the surgery done at the center. That is how confident I was with The Center for Hyperhidrosis and I am so glad I did. The clinic is top notch. The staff is so considerate and for once it was a place I felt completely welcomed with my condition and did not have to hide it.
The next morning was my surgery. I was actually pretty excited as it would be the last day I would have to live with this condition. Of course you always going to feel a little anxious, but the whole process was easy and the nurses did such a great job making sure I was comfortable. I also opted to have T5 clamped for my underarms as well.
As quickly as I went to sleep, I awoke in my private recovery room. I instantly noticed my DRY warm hands. My feet and underarms were also dry and I was in awe at this realization. My family and Dr. Basseri came in shortly after to congratulate me with this new life. I was discharged within a few hours and went back to my hotel room. Recovery was pretty quick and easy. The incisions on my chest healed and closed in just over a week (you cant notice they were even there now). The incisions on the sides of my chest are just little half inch red lines which should fully heal here soon. You may feel some soreness around the side of your chest to your back. This goes away after a couple weeks. Everything Dr. Basseri said may happen pretty much did, so there were no surprises which was great. My back does sweat a bit with extreme heat (it did prior to surgery as well) but that is expected. Dr. Basseri informed me this does ease with time.
The aftercare was incredible. Dr. Basseri personally texted and called me for weeks after my procedure to see how I was doing and to answer any questions that I may have. Im still in contact with him months later.
It has now been nearly 3 months since my procedure. My hands are still dry as well as my underarms and feet! This has been a miracle. I was nearly convinced I would be living with hyperhidrosis for the rest of my life but here I am cured! All thanks to Dr. Basseri, Dr. Reisfeld and the team! Change your life as it did to mine and give them a call!

I had the best time with Dr. Basseri and his team. They were super attentive and helpful throughout the whole process. This surgery has changed my life. I couldn’t believe that after surgery, my biggest insecurity was removed. It was like magic!
After the surgery, Dr. Basseri gave me his personal number and was excited to check in with me post surgery and see how I was healing. He guided me to take special attention to the incision areas and gave me tips on how to heal the best I could. I couldn’t recommend this surgery enough to people who struggle with Hyperhidrosis in their hands.

Dr Basseri and his staff are the best. My daughter had her hands done in 2023 and her feet in 2024. It has changed everything for her. She doesn’t fear school anymore because of her sweaty hands and enjoyed her first walk on the beach without sweaty feet. Doctor Basseri has always made himself available to us. Whether that be to answer a question about the procedure or helping us with our insurance company. He gave us his personal phone number for post-op to call with concerns. There aren’t doctors around like Dr Basseri

Dr. Basseri was absolutely wonderful! I had both ETS and ELS and it has been absolutely life changing. I am in Culinary school and everyday has been better. I can wear gloves, roll out dough without being worried and serve guests without my hands dripping and making fingerprints all over the plates. Thank you for changing my life! I would reccomend this surgery to anyone looking to get it done.

This surgery center exceeded my expectations! Everyone was so kind and Dr. Basseri explained the whole procedure in great detail and really helped me feel comfortable. There were no secrets and everything was very upfront and straightforward. The nurses were as gentle as they could be and were on top of things from start to finish. The center even helped me stay up to date on the whole authorization process for the insurance before the surgery which can usually feel like a hassle. This surgery changed my life and I am so grateful to everyone on the team!

Extremely happy with Dr. Basari and his staff, I would recommend the surgery if you’re suffering from hyperhidrosis whether It’s your hands or your feet are both. There’s no need to live with this condition there’s a cure.
Thank you Dr. Basari

I had my surgery just over two months ago and it has changed my life! I’ve never felt more cared for than when I was at the Center for Hyperhidrosis. Each person I met was so supportive and willing to answer all of my many questions to make sure I was comfortable. Dr. Basseri explained everything in detail so that I was aware of each part of the procedure, and what I needed to do prior and after surgery. He continued to reach out many times after my surgery to make sure I was doing okay. I never imagined that there was something that could fully take away my hand sweating but the second I woke up from surgery my hands were completely dry and they have been every day since. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who is struggling, as it really is the best decision I’ve ever made.

I’ll start with the spoiler: Have the surgery!!! It’s truly as simple as that. I had the ELS (feet) surgery with Dr. Basseri, Dr. Reisfeld and the K&B surgical team in October 2024. Four months later, I still can’t believe my feet are 100% dry. I had been contemplating the surgery for a long time, having my first consult with Dr. Basseri nearly a year prior. I agonized over the decision for a multitude of reasons and it ultimately came down to this: I HAD to figure out a way to make my life better, and a huge part of that was remedying this debilitating condition. I jumped through a ton of hoops- securing childcare, arranging payment plans, managing time off work, booking plane tickets / hotel, and navigating quite a few other stressful life events. I can’t emphasize enough how worthwhile it was. Dr. Basseri is hands-down the most attuned, competent, and caring doctor I’ve ever worked with. I was on my return flight cross country less than 24 hours later without issue. Dr. Basseri texted hours after the surgery, the following day, and periodically since then. My only regrets are not having Dr. Basseri for my ETS surgery (had it many years ago before he was in practice) and not scheduling the ELS with him sooner. Absolutely life changing and I’m thankful every single day!

I had surgery in March of this year and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! The surgery has changed my life both physically and mentally. Dr. Basseri and his team were absolutely amazing to work with! They explained and walked me through every step of the way and did not pressure the surgery one bit. Going into surgery I felt so comfortable and it was truly life changing waking up with dry hands after battling Hyperhidrosis for the last 15+ years. The surgery was instant and I have not had any problems going forward. Truly a life changing experience and I recommend 100% if you’re thinking about surgery to reach out to their office!

Dr. Basseri performed my surgery for sweaty feet 4 years ago and it was one of the BEST decisions I made – life changing! I suffered my entire life until that point, shoes were a disaster and I was frustrated and embarrassed on a daily basis. If you suffer from excessive sweating, schedule your surgery and get it taken care of ASAP! I have not had any compensatory sweating or negative effects of any kind. In fact, I swear it helped improved the sweating of my hands a bit as well (even though the doctor told me typically it doesn’t, I feel like it did because the one would sometimes trigger the other somehow!). Go to LA and have this done by the best!

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Basseri and the Center for Hyperhidrosis. From my very first consultation, Dr. Basseri took the time to listen to my concerns with incredible patience and consideration, ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way. The entire team, from the office staff to the surgical team, was kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Best part of it all is that I was able to get treatment without ever stepping foot in a hospital, as everything was handled in their best in class surgical center in Beverly Hills. I always felt I was in the best hands and know that Dr. Basseri’s expertise is truly unmatched. I am beyond grateful for the exceptional care I received and highly recommend Dr. Basseri for hyperhidrosis treatment!

Dr. Basseri and ALL of his staff and I do mean ALL of his staff are all so kind, patient and always available if you have any questions or concerns. My procedure was smooth and so worth it. My hands are never dripping, I don’t need to keep a towel to wipe them off anymore and I don’t mind holding hands or shaking hands anymore. If someone is thinking of getting this surgery done at this office I promise the experience will be gratifying from beginning to end.

Hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. There are truly no words to describe what this surgery has done for me personally and professionally. If you are second guessing yourself, just do it. You will not regret it. It is well worth your time! By far the most professional and friendly surgery centers. From start to end, Dr. Basseri and his staff are up front and honest about the whole process. They will go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable with your visit. Highly, highly recommend Dr. Basseri and his staff! Class act.

Dr. Basseri and the team are amazing! The entire staff from the receptionist to the nurses and the techs were attentive and caring. My post surgery experience was great also. Dr.Basseri was very communicative, he would text and call regularly to check in which made me feel comfortable and safe. I have struggled with Hyperhydrosis since I was a little girl. My surgery was July 2023 and it has changed my life! I am forever grateful to Dr. Basseri and his great staff. I recommend this Hyperhydrosis center to anyone who is struggling with a severe case of Hyperhydrosis.

My 14yr old daughter had surgery in March 2024. We are from the UK. We had a Zoom consultation with Dr Basseri, and he told us of what to ask when researching other clinics/surgeries. He also put us in touch with other UK clients of his whom we chatted to before we made the decision to go ahead. I am so happy that we took the plunge because my daughter had been online school for two years at that point. I was watching my sweet, funny, vivacious daughter become scared and isolated. After surgery, she went back to mainstream school and has not sweated once or had any other issues. And, my beautiful girl is happy, loving life (ok, not GCSE revisions right now) and the teachers are so happy to have her back. Dr Basseri is amazing and keeps in touch with us. He and the team at the Hyperhidrosis Centre in L.A are wonderful. I don’t know what else to say other than fo not delay any longer. This is life changing. Thank you Dr Basseri, you know how very grateful we are to you. 🙏💖

The ETS surgery I had done by Dr. Basseri has been absolutely life changing. I have suffered from both palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis my entire life and never felt confident in a solution for these until I met Dr. Basseri. Dr. Basseri and his team at The Center for Hyperhidrosis truly provide top notch care. I had an incredible experience with each and every person I interacted with, from my initial first phone call to my post-op phone check-ins with Dr. Basseri. I felt cared for throughout the entire process and appreciated Dr. Basseri’s patience answering all of my questions along the way. I felt very safe getting this procedure done and was amazed at how quick the recovery was and how immediate the results were. I have already started conversations about getting the ELS surgery done for my plantar hyperhidrosis because of the amazing experience I had and the profound impact it has had on my life. If you are at all considering this surgery, I would truly recommend this to any and everyone who suffers from hyperhidrosis. You won’t regret it.

I recently underwent an ELS surgery and wanted to share my outstanding experience. From start to finish, the care I received was exceptional.
My nurse, Jamie, was truly remarkable. Her kindness and attentiveness made a world of difference; she went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Dr. Choy, my anesthesiologist, was equally fantastic. I had previously mentioned my tendency to get cold and shaky after anesthesia, and I don’t know what he did, but I woke up feeling great—completely free from those usual symptoms. His professionalism and reassuring demeanor made me feel safe and relaxed.
Dr. Basseri, my surgeon, is simply the best. He checked on me multiple times post-surgery, showcasing his commitment to patient care. I previously had my ETS surgery with him three years ago, which was a great success, and my recent ELS surgery was just as smooth and straightforward.
Thanks to these amazing professionals, I am now completely cured of my excessive sweating in my hands and feet. I couldn’t be happier with the care I received and highly recommend this team to anyone considering similar procedures. Thank you all for changing my life!

I’ve been long time sufferer of palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis going as far back as my early youth. The condition as had a profound impact on my social and professional life. I’m now 37 and thankfully on my first year not having to manage this condition, thanks to Dr. Basseri and his team. I had both ETS & ELS surgeries to help both my feet and my hands this year (2024). The claim is 100% accurate, my hands and feet have not perspired at all since receiving each surgery which has truly been life changing. Regarding the experience, everything has been top tier, from insurance approvals, scheduling, and follow ups. Also, the facilities are very high end. Something I really appreciated about Dr. Basseri was the consistent direct follow-ups post surgery to ensure healing and outcomes were on track. I had his direct mobile number for any issues that arose, for which use is encouraged. I had a small incision concern and texted Dr. Basseri, and within 3-5 minutes we were face timing so he could see what I was talking about. That’s exceptional care. The Center for Hyperhidrosis is exceptional.

I wish I had found Dr. Basseri and The Center for Hyperhidrosis years ago!
Their friendly and responsive staff walked me through every step of the process to get the procedures covered by my insurance and Dr. Basseri as incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the procedure.
I have been absolutely thrilled with the results from my first surgery to stop my hand from sweating and I’m very excited to get my second procedure in July for my feet.
I can’t recommend them enough!

I got ETS surgery in September and my life is forever changed! My hands used to drip sweat nearly 24/7. Now my hands are completely dry and I get to enjoy the small things like getting my nails done, wearing lotion, and holding hands with the people I love! The staff at the Center for Hyperhidrosis were so kind and supportive. Dr. Basseri answered all of my questions and made me feel so comfortable the day before and day of my surgery. Almost 3 months later he still texts to check in on me and make sure everything is going well. I highly recommend the Center for Hyperhydrosis!

In September of last year I had my ETS procedure, it was the first time in my life I woke up to having dry hands, and underarms. It’s something that I would recommend to other and would 100% do again and plan to with Dr. Basseri for the lower portion of my body too.

Dr. Basseri and staff were truly amazing! From start to finish Dr. Basseri was very informative, so personable and caring during the entire process. From my telephone consultation to the surgery day and afterwards. My experience was great. My results after surgery was really a dream come true. Dr. Basseri and staff has truly changed my life forever. I highly recommend to anyone suffering from hyperhidrosis!

Did a lot of research on this surgery before setting an appointment and I was very scared due to lots of misinformation/horror stories online. Everybody from the receptionist at the front desk to the nurses helping me get situated were lovely people who made me feel extremely comfortable. I was able to have all of my doubts relieved after speaking with the Dr Basseri. Best decision I’ve ever made and very grateful for everybody involved. I have noticed the compensatory swearing on my stomach but it isn’t nearly as bad as I expected, and a very worthy trade off for dry hands. It has been 2 months since my operation and i recommend visiting Dr. Basseri if you are thinking about this surgery he is the best. Even after the surgery he texted me to ensure I was doing okay. You can tell he cares about his patients.

I have been experiencing excessive sweating in my hands, underarms, and feet since I was a little girl. I’ve tried various methods to hide the sweat in all three areas. After discussing my condition with Dr. Basseri and getting all my questions answered, I decided to undergo surgery, which has been life-changing for both my personal and professional life. Initially, I was skeptical about the procedure, but now I see that it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. I underwent ETS surgery for my hands and underarms but I’ve seen so much improvement on my feet as well. I had a great experience and have no regrets. It was truly a positive experience. I’m thankful to the team for their support through this process.

Having the ETS procedure done was one of the best decisions of my life. It has not only improved my quality of life but it has given me so much confidence back and eliminated much of my social anxiety. Dr. Basseri and the staff are all truly wonderful people. They care so much and they are extremely helpful throughout the process. Dr. Basseri makes sure you understand everything that will happen and does not pressure you into getting the procedure done. Although once you learn about it, you’ll know it’s a no brainer to get it done! He also checked in with me multiple times after surgery until I was back to 100%. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff and my experience with the Center for Hyperhidrosis. I am so grateful to have had this surgery.

A truly life changing surgery! I had Palmar Hyperhidrosis all my life and it was a real struggle. It negatively affected so many aspects of my life. From being a musician, to a car salesman to being heavily involved at my church. From the moment I called to the moment my surgery was done, to even the aftercare phone calls from Dr. Baseri checking in, him and his staff did excellent. The surgery itself was not scary and the staff did a great job of informing and reassuring me all the way through. It’s been almost 3 months and my hands are dry as can be. It’s such a joy to shake someone’s hand with a smile and confidence when I’m at church or work, knowing my hands won’t sweat. When I play my guitar on and off stage, it’s an experience I never knew would be possible in my lifetime. If you’re thinking about going to Dr. Baseri for the surgery, or maybe you’d just like to know more information, I highly recommend giving them a phone call and at least hearing what they have to say. If you have this issue, you are doing yourself a disservice to not call. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Dr. Baseri and all his staff!!

I got ETS surgery for my hands back in mid-August (2023) and it has truly changed my life. Before the surgery, my hands would sweat so excessively that it was extremely difficult to write on papers and not fun shaking people’s hands. My hyperhidrosis was a huge nuisance, especially with me currently attending college, and thinking about it would make it worse, so it felt like a perpetual problem. Once I talked to Dr. Basseri and the rest of the team, I knew that the Center for Hyperhidrosis was the one. I had tried other treatments in the past but nothing had worked. The team was immensely kind and patient, always there to answer any questions or concerns I had. They also guided me through the process and weren’t pressuring at all. The only thing that took some time for the surgery to actually get scheduled was getting approved by my insurance company, but the team was excellent at contacting them and obtaining the necessary paperwork. Post surgery I didn’t believe that my hands would stay dry, but it actually does work. It’s amazing how instantly the change happens. I also received calls from Dr. Basseri and the head nurse frequently afterward to make sure everything was okay and reassure me about the recovery process. He and the team are awesome! Now my life has improved greatly on both a physical and mental scale. I definitely recommend it; I even hope to visit again to get the ELS surgery for my feet by the end of the year. Thank you to Dr. Basseri and the rest of the team!

I had ETS surgery almost 2 months ago and it has changed my life. Dr. Basseri and his team made me feel so welcome and comfortable the entire time, from the first counseltation and weeks after. The way they treat you the day before and day of surgery was incredible and had to doubts that everything would go smoothly, and it did. I had an amazing experience and highly recommend that if you suffer from hyperhydrosis you MUST come here. It’s a beautiful facility in Beverly Hills. You wont be disappointed with your decision to change your life!

I had the surgery in September and cannot thank Dr Basseri and his entire team enough.
This surgery has completely changed my life.
I’m from England and even through different time zones, thanks to zoom,I was able meet with Dr Basseri multiple times.
every question I had was answered.
I had a wonderful experience and felt incredibly cared for.
If you are thinking about doing it,I would 100% recommend doing so.

Dr. Basseri and the rest of his staff are awesome! They made me feel really comfortable during the entire process leading up the surgery and during surgery. It’s been almost 3 months since my surgery and ever since then I’ve gotten a huge surge of confidence and comfortability when it comes to social interactions and no longer have to worry about what people will say about my sweaty hands. It’s been life-changing for me in lots of situations even outside of just social interactions. One of the best decisions I made in my life was getting this surgery done and a huge reason why is how great the people are at the Center For Hyperhidrosis.

Caden DeSousa
I had ETS surgery in May 2024 and ELS surgery in September 2024. It’s been almost 5 months since my second surgery and my life has truly changed forever! Everyone at The Center for Hyperhidrosis were wonderful and knowledgeable, easing all my fears. Before having surgery I did my fair share of research and I will admit that I was hesitant due to all the horror stories I was reading about other’s experiences post surgery. Then I started reading reviews and watching videos about those who had the surgery through The Center for Hyperhidrosis with Dr. Basseri. I could not find a single bad review! The technique used in both surgeries by Dr. Basseri (clamping the nerve instead of cutting) eliminates the scary/severe side effects post surgery. The only side effect I have is compensatory sweating (which I was well aware would occur) of my lower back and upper abdomen, and it only occurs when I’m exercising or it’s hot outside. Dr. Basseri does a great job being upfront and transparent about what to expect post surgery. If you’re thinking about getting ETS or ELS surgery or even both like me, definitely think about going to see Dr. Basseri. Life sweat-free is something I never thought I would experience, but now the sky’s the limit!

My life is not the same , from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep regardless of my emotions and life stresses my hands and feet are dry. My career as a full time musician has taken a massive shift! My social skills have improved by being more social, shaking hands and not being afraid of being more tactful with people. From writing on paper to driving and wearing sandals or walking barefoot inside my home just feels wonderful.
I prayed to god to help me find a solution one day after another, for years looking for solutions to this unbearable feeling of being wet, feeling clammy and extremely insecure of social and daily interactions with people, my work or wearing clothes.
After many failed attempts and temporary solutions I gave up…
Back in 2012 I had my first surgery with a different doctor and unfortunately he just opened and closed me, and did not work.
I was defeated and broken that I had to accept my fate with this condition. After using all my saving for a failed surgery.
Fast forward one day i stumbled upon an add and I found Dr. Bassari. I trusted my intuition and tried one more time by giving myself a chance. I scheduled a conversation over the phone and that was all I needed to be sure he would change my life. He understood all my daily problems and even explained to me my physical condition without me having to do so. It was like he knew me my whole life’s struggles and that was very assuring. With the great help of my insurance I managed to get the surgery covered and I did all the necessary steps that Dr. Bassari’s staff told me to do. The team is fantastic and their support was amazing thru my entire process. I cried of hopelessness before the surgery and cried of joy after the surgery. To anyone going thru this condition don’t give up! Do everything the team asks of you and be diligent of the responsibilities required to make this happen for you. This surgery will change your life and every penny and time spent in the process will be worth it. I am a new man, I want to thank god and bless doctor bassari, doctor kang, doctor Rafael and their team. Thank you all so much.

I underwent ETS surgery for my palmar Hyperhidrosis 3 months ago, and it was truly a life changing surgery. I’m 26 years old, and had tried every other mitigation method to manage my Hyperhidrosis (drysol, glycopyrrolate, Botox) for the past 15+ years with minimal or no results. After undergoing ETS surgery with Dr. Basseri I finally have “normal” dry hands all day everyday and what was once a daily/hourly struggle is no longer even a thought in my head. Dr. Basseri and his entire staff are incredibly professional and helpful from start to finish. They make the entire process incredibly easy from insurance approval through surgery and recovery. Can’t recommend this team enough. Only wish I had discovered the Center sooner! I spoke with a few other thoracic surgeons prior to discovering Dr. Basseri and his team, and it was apparent from our first phone call that his knowledge of Hyperhidrosis and success rates with ETS far exceeded other thoracic surgeons offering similar surgeries. If you struggle with Hyperhidrosis, reach out and schedule a consultation… there is a solution to the seemingly unsolvable…
Update 2/18/25 –
About 5 months ago I underwent the ELS surgery with Dr Basseri as a follow up to my ETS surgery to address my plantar Hyperhidrosis. The surgery was a total success and I no longer struggle at all with sweat in my feet after dealing with a severe case for my entire life. My feet are now completely dry even during exercise. I am able to wear flip flops or go bare foot whenever and wherever. It’s a life changing procedure that’s a must have if you struggle with plantar Hyperhidrosis.

The ETS surgery has completely changed my life, I didn’t even realize until after I had it that it took away my biggest insecurity.
I couldn’t be more thankful for Dr. Basseri and the entire K & B surgical center for making this an extremely comfortable experience. If you are experiencing hyperhydrosis just know you are not alone and i think this surgery is life changing! The surgery is very expensive if your health insurance doesn’t cover it which was my case unfortunately. But now after doing the surgery it was 100% worth all the money, I can now live my life completely confident, comfortable and stress free!

The review space is not long enough to say all the good things about Dr. Basseri and the team! The surgery was life changing and my only regret is not doing it sooner. It truly could not have been a smoother process and I had 100% success. Dr. Basseri was extremely communicative and talked me through the process. He was available before and after surgery and I always felt comfortable asking him every question I had! The incredible staff at the surgical center were top notch and could not have been better. From one Hyperhidrosis candidate to another, I cannot express how thankful I am that I had this surgery. I’ve never looked back and would highly recommend Dr. Basseri to anyone who is dealing with Hyperhidrosis.

2 sentence summary: Everything about this experience was absolutely first class! Dr. Basseri outlined everything about the procedure and the recovery process beforehand (which occurred exactly as he said), and he’s the most attentive doctor I’ve ever worked with!
From the very first phone consultation, Dr. Basseri was very thorough in describing hyperhidrosis itself as well as the ETS procedure. I was worried going into the call that he might sound busy and rushed on the phone and that I may not get my questions answered, but he was the complete opposite, very calm and helpful!
Then when I came into the office for an in-person consult, Dr. Basseri was Very friendly! He slowly went over the whole procedure in detail, drawing things out and showing me the clamps they would use. He described everything that would happen immediately following the procedure and how the recovery process would go. His whole staff was super friendly as well, and I left the office feeling really at peace!
On the day of the procedure, I went into the office very early morning, signed all the required documents, and almost immediately went into the “pre/post-op room” (I don’t know what it’s called lol). The staff at the surgery center were all very friendly as well, and my nurse Shoshana (apologies if spelled wrong!) explained a few more details to me, reiterating what the recovery would be like Specifically (for example: how the initial chest soreness/tightness would eventually shift to my upper back/shoulder blades) It wasn’t long before Dr. Basseri came in, reviewed some last things, met the anesthesiologist, and we were good to go!
Post-op I was obviously feeling rather groggy, but the nurses helped me with everything and I was out the door before I knew it. My chest and back were pretty sore for the next handful of days, but honestly everything progressed Exactly how Dr. Basseri and Shoshana explained it would, so I had peace about the whole process! My hands have been perfectly dry ever since (about 3 months now). I also haven’t thought about underarm sweat since then, and the compensatory sweating on my abdomen and lower back is super manageable, and mainly happens when I’m at the gym. All in all, this was Such a great experience, and I’ll most likely be returning in a few months for the ELS surgery (pending on my new job health insurance lol. I will say, that’s got to be the only downside of this procedure is the cost. But I mean, it was definitely worth it!)
Last thing I’ll say (I know this has already been a novel lol), is after the procedure, Dr. Basseri either called or texted me from his personal line to check in on my recovery multiple times over the first few days, and then 2-3 times over the following 3 months! Most attentive doctor I’ve ever worked with!

Highly highly recommend this group for treatment of your hyperhidrosis diagnosis. I suffered from Plantar and Palmar hyperhidrosis and I thought I was going to have to live with this miserable condition for the rest of my life. When I found Dr. Basseri my life completely changed. From the minute we had our phone consultation through surgery and even the day I was fully recovered Dr. Basseri and his entire team were so kind, made me feel extremely comfortable. I knew I was in good hands. I’ve had amazing success since surgery day for the ELS procedure with not a single ounce of sweat in my feet. I can finally wear rubber flip flops without the sweat flying from my shoes and making squeaking noises, high heels without my feet constantly slipping, white tennis shoes without them getting stained by my sweat, fuzzy slippers without the inside fuzz being ruined or smell from the sweat. I can go on and on about how much this procedure has changed my life. I never knew how life changing it would be until after my operation. My only regret is not finding Dr. Basseri sooner. If you are considering the ELS OR ETS surgery think no further and book your surgery with this group. You will be so glad that you did.

I suffered from hyperhidrosis for 44 years. If your reading this review you have found the right doctor. Dr Basseri and his team are very accommodating and Professional. Communication through the whole process was second to none. My surgery results produced hands that no longer sweat. MY hands have not sweated since my surgery. Weather it’s your feet armpits or hands Dr Basseri can make this problem go away. I would recommend the center for hyperhidrosis to anyone seeking relief from non stop sweating and mental circles this disease creates. I love feeling more relaxed and do not avoid contact in social situations. Thankyou Dr Basseri and team for relieving my body and mind from the burden of hyperhidrosis.

I had my ETS surgery with Dr. Basseri in May 2024. It was the best decision I’ve ever made, very life changing for me. I struggled with hyperhidrosis on my hands and feet, all my life and couldn’t get my insurance to approve. Their team was the best I have ever dealt with.
The Center of Hyperhidrosis has a team designated for each step of the process. They stay in communication, guiding you through each step to maximize your benefits. Five star service hands down from start.
My hands have not sweat and compensatory sweating is in my back and stomach but only when I get really hot and a good trade off in my opinion. I have not sweat on my hands, comfortable in shaking hands and can start doing more task that requires dry hands.
After the surgery, Dr Basseri will continue to check up on you personally. If anyone has this condition similar to mines don’t even question his work, he’s the best! I wish I did this earlier in life, but everything happens for a reason in the time it’s supposed to.

I had ETS surgery with Dr. Basseri in April 2024, and not a single day goes by that I don’t think about how much better my day-to-day life is. Before my surgery, my hands would constantly *drip* onto the ground and every shirt would have sweat marks in the underarms. These occurring everyday would prevent me from doing regular tasks like writing, typing, paying with cash, or even just wearing clothes I wanted to wear. The most difficult part was the anxiety that came with meeting people and having to shake their hands, which ultimately made me avoid social situations.
Since the surgery, my body feels amazing, I don’t sweat like I used to, and my confidence levels have skyrocketed. Being social without the fear of physical contact, and having the ability for the first time to live my day normally without the issues of sweaty hands and underarms, were things I never thought possible. I had tried every treatment imaginable for years, but they always felt like a bandaid—never really solving the issue and requiring constant upkeep for minimal results—until I had ETS surgery.
Now, I no longer think about sweating all the time. It simply isn’t something that affects me anymore, and I can’t thank Dr. Basseri enough for giving me this new chance at life! The Center for Hyperhidrosis staff were the most caring and gentle people, always making sure I had everything I needed, explaining exactly what was happening, and helping create an unforgettable experience by allowing me to finally live the life I’ve always dreamed of. Thank you again to everyone at the center and to Dr. Basseri for being an incredible surgeon!

If you are somebody like myself, you have most likely been in search for a solution to your sweat-related issues with little to no luck. My name is Justin, and I have suffered from hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating in the palm since I was about 13 or 14 years old. I am currently 25, and I am pleased to say that this is no longer an issue of mine. The excessive sweating came about a year before I began high school, and never went away until I discovered Dr. Basseri and his team. This issue had an extreme impact on my life, both socially and physically. With all of the complications created by this condition, I eventually started looking at options for solutions. I tried creams, I was prescribed pills at one point, even a few other options were attempted. None of them worked. I found one cream that provided very brief and temporary help, but nothing worked. I began to feel a bit helpless, and learned to manage it the best I could over the years.
I eventually came across Dr. Basseri’s page a few years ago, and immediately scheduled a meeting with him. He told me that he would take care of the problem, and I was in complete shock that I had finally found somebody with a solution. He is a very specialized doctor in a very particular field of practice, and only a handful of people are able to perform the surgery. People fly across the country and world to meet him, and now I can see why. After meeting with him, I waited a year or two to get the surgery until it made the most sense for me financially, with every intention on getting the operation. I finally had the operation done at the end of May this year, and could not be happier with the result. The sweat is practically non-existent, and has allowed me to feel like myself again. Dr. Basseri and his team did a fantastic job with the entire process, and the outcome could not have been better. The entire team took care of me and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire procedure which really helped my experience. Dr. Basseri is also very engaged with his patients, and was constantly texting me answering any questions I had and making sure I was okay. I would absolutely 10/10 recommend Dr. Basseri and his team to anybody sharing similar issues that I was facing.

Wow, I’ve never felt like I was the only patient a doctor had and Dr. Basseri and his staff made me feel this way from the get-go. Being able to literally have direct contact with Dr. Basseri to answer any and all questions I had before and after surgery was one-of-a-kind. I am very happy with the surgery results. I have certainly had some adjustments in my body over the past few months since surgery that have been frustrating and what has made that so easy is knowing that Dr. Basseri and his team are available now and for as long as I might need their support. Couldn’t recommend them more! He even gave us an AMAZING vegan restaurant recommendation super close to the hotel and then asked how it was the next morning before surgery. So nice!!

Highly recommend Dr. Basseri and his staff. From the start I felt at ease and comfortable moving forward with the procedure. At the preop appointment they explained everything- what to expect day of surgery and post op. Dr. Basseri also directly reaches out to the patient multiple times a day to do check ins post op which I thought was amazing so if any questions come up after surgery he can easily be reached. Pain after surgery was also very manageable and results were well worth it! I had this procedure done a couple months ago and wish I had known about it sooner it has been so life changing! I am so thankful for Dr. Basseri😊

I recently had surgery for my hands after suffering with hyperhidrosis for 20 years and the results have completely changed my life. Everyone at the Center who I spoke to in the lead-up to have surgery was kind, informative and helpful and I felt taken care of every step of the way. I felt reassured having been walked through every step of the surgery and the doctors were kind, professional and attentive. I would definitely recommend reaching out for a consultation if you are struggling with hyperhidrosis!
Update: I went back to have a second surgery for my feet and once again I had a wonderful experience. The staff is very caring, and sitting down with Dr. Basseri to get a detailed explanation of the surgery really helped to put my mind at ease! The recovery was easy and I am so pleased with the results. I can now live a life free of sweaty hands and feet!

Where do I begin. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Basseri and his whole team. I was fighting with sweaty hands for majority of my early teen and young adult life and developed extreme social anxiety. It was the first thing I thought about when I woke up and the last thing I thought about before going to bed. I knew I needed this surgery but I also saw all these scary reviews online from people who have gotten it done elsewhere. Not to mention, it isn’t the cheapest surgery out there (my insurance didn’t cover it). I came across Dr. Basseri and the Center for Hyperhidrosis and instantly had a good feeling about his practice. We had a very nice phone call and he told me I’d be a good candidate and I went ahead with the surgery. Holy cow, has it changed my life. I mean literally from the moment I woke up from surgery my hands were completely dry. A feeling I had never experienced before. After surgery Dr. Basseri and his team personally texted and called me to make sure I was doing okay throughout the recovery process. I can’t say enough good things. For anyone who is suffering from Hyperhidrosis and is contemplating getting the surgery I highly recommend. It will change your life. Living with anxiety is not the way to live. Trust me. I’d do the surgery 1,000 times over again if my bank allowed for it haha. Thanks again Dr. Basseri and the team over at the center for hyperhidrosis.

We had been looking for a solution for our daughter’s hyperhidrosis for quite some time… it was becoming difficult for her to hold a pencil in school and participate in some group projects. Once we contacted Dr. Basseri, we knew our daughter would have a truly life-changing experience. The staff at his office is attentive and responsive, returning all calls in less than 24 hours! Dr. Basseri was able to explain the procedure in a concise and understandable manner, while reassuring our daughter that everything would be fine. She approached the surgery with excitement! Her results have been a positive impact on her quality of life as she enters into a new “high school era”. Thank you, Dr. Basseri and staff – you have made a lasting impression on our child, and for those smiles, we will be forever grateful!

I had such a positive experience with Dr. Basseri and his entire staff. I first reached out to the center about 6 months ago. The ease of scheduling a consult with Dr. Basseri via phone and scheduling a date for the procedure was seamless. The lady who worked with me and my insurance to assure the procedure would be in-network was great, there were no surprise bills before, during or after the procedure. The day before the procedure Dr. Basseri and his staff from all disciplines met with me to review every aspect of the procedure and what to expect. The recovery nurse was amazing and even called a few days after to check in. Dr.Basseri clearly is an expert with ETS and I’d highly recommend him and his center to all considering this procedure. He is highly professional but also very personal which made the whole experience positive and successful. He personally checks in before and after the procedure to make sure recovery is going as expected. I had both my hands and armpits done and I can’t describe how life changing it’s been! I did have post-op chest and upper back pains but that was all described to me before the procedure and expected. I do experience mid chest and mid back compensatory sweating since the procedure but the fact that my hands are COMPLETELY dry and my armpits have drastically improved outweighs the compensatory sweating any day!!
Overall, this procedure and experience has been life changing and I’d highly recommend Dr. Basseri and his team!

The Dr’s and staff were so incredibly helpful! They helped me navigate everything I needed to coordinate with my insurance, made sure I was well informed and prepped for surgery, and they took great care of me after the surgery. Dr. Basseri even called me personally to check on me and make sure I was feeling OK. The nurses were very friendly and I knew I was in good hands.

I decided to explore this establishment after being influenced by numerous advertisements on social media. I figured the pricing was reasonable given by the persuasive marketing and testimonials. However, I was quoted $100,000 for treatment of the hands and feet without insurance coverage!! This amount is considerably higher than the standard costs typically associated with such services. I would recommend considering alternative options.

After many failed interventions for my daughters hyperhidrosis, I was told of a surgeon in CA that could help my child. Thankfully, I pursued it and made the call!
My daughter Lilly (16) underwent surgery with Dr. Bassari and his team. After MANY failed interventions, she awoke in the recovery suite with DRY hands and hasn’t looked back! To say Dr Bassari changed her life is an understatement. It has been weeks and guess what?! Her hands are STILL DRY!! She holds her head high, looks people in the eye, and SHAKES their hands!! Something I have not witnessed in years! As parents we want to provide our children the tools they need to be successful. Well, hands that are NOT dripping all day every day and sweaty smelly armpits are imperative tools! I can never thank Dr. Bassari and his team enough for their professional care, comprehensive approach, and unmatched empathy for my child. She felt seen, heard, and validated every step of the way. If you struggle with hyperhidrosis call his team! They will answer ALL your questions, investigate financial avenues with you, and walk you through every step of the journey. You will NOT regret this life changing call.
Forever grateful,
-Beckie (proud mom of a STRONG 16yo)

My daughter recently underwent ETS surgery for hyperhidrosis with Dr. Basseri, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From the moment we walked into the facility, we felt seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.
Dr. Basseri was not only highly skilled but also took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all of our questions, and made sure my daughter felt comfortable and confident about the procedure. The entire staff—from the nurses to the receptionists—were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. The facility itself was clean, organized, and calming, which really helped ease any nerves she had going in.
Recovery was smoother than she expected, and the results have been life-changing. If you’re struggling with hyperhidrosis and are considering this surgery, we wholeheartedly recommend this team. We are beyond grateful for the care my daughter received and hope this encourages others to take the step toward freedom and confidence. You’re in great hands here!

I cannot say enough good things about this doctor and the care I received. I had surgery for hyperhidrosis, and it completely eliminated the excessive sweating — something that affected nearly every part of my life before treatment.
Before the surgery, I was constantly self-conscious and anxious, even over the smallest interactions. I worried about sweating when going to someone’s house, being close to people, or just existing in everyday situations. It deeply affected my confidence and daily tasks.
Since the surgery, my life has truly changed. My confidence is back, I feel comfortable in my own skin, and I’m more present, relaxed, and affectionate with my kids. Even the smallest daily interactions feel easier and more natural now. This wasn’t just a physical fix — it had a huge emotional and mental impact as well.
I’m incredibly grateful for the expertise, care, and life-changing results. If you’re struggling with hyperhidrosis, this surgery and this doctor can truly give you your life back.

I want to thank Dr. Basseri and his entire staff for being absolutely incredible. I underwent both the ELS and ETS procedures this past year (August & October), and I couldn’t be more grateful. Going from constantly sweaty palms and feet to being completely dry is a feeling like no other.
The entire team was extremely helpful, and the process from start to finish was smooth and well organized. The level of care was truly 10/10, and everything was explained clearly, which made me feel comfortable and confident throughout.

Dr. Basseri is the *best* doctor I have ever met!
He truly is the kind of doctor you pray for when in need… just so composed, professional, compassionate, detail-oriented, and truly life-changing in his practice.
I immediately knew I was in the best hands simply by the way he sat down and listened so earnestly to every major and minor concern I had, and then proceeded to explain to me the exact plan to address each one. I cannot express truly how reassuring and remarkable it was to have ever experienced that kind of care, attentiveness, and professionalism. In being a patient my whole life for hyperhidrosis, I’ve exhausted all options like topical creams, medications, and Botox injections only to experience no relief… so people telling me no was not foreign or unexpected at all; but Dr. Basseri’s team made sure I got my yes. They deserve all the praise I could ever offer due to the extent of their efforts taken into ensuring I got my surgery. I emphasize this especially since my insurance had been a recurring issue in which my mother and I battled continuously for a long time, trying to convince them I needed the treatment. It was defeating and exhausting having to even explain myself, but Dr. Basseri’s team was so efficient, communicative, and diligent in conveying the seriousness and extent of my condition’s impact on my life, even staying on the phone with my mother and I for hours—even during after-hours—talking to my insurance, in order to get me the care I needed. I *cannot* thank them enough for how kind, patient, and concerned they were for me.
This has further changed my life not just physically or professionally, but especially personally. I had always dreamed of being a surgeon, yet I could barely hold a pen… Constantly, I became frustrated and sad since I couldn’t even use scissors or nail clippers properly.. How could I be a surgeon with this condition..? Even moreso, teachers would make me stand up in front of the class and announce why I was wearing football gloves—when really, it was just so my pencil markings would actually show up and not blotches of gray. Furthermore, I would tie masks around my steering wheel so I could drive normally because I didn’t feel safe with how slippery the leather was because of how much I would sweat. Not to mention how cold I always was due to my wet hands and feet no matter the time of day: it could be snowy weather or dry heat, and I would still sweat to the same extent. And as a young female, it was incredibly dejecting to have to shower three times a day just to feel clean, since I always felt like my pH was off due to the excessive sweating.
To be even half the physician Dr. Basseri is in the way he prioritizes patient comfort, security, and health… I could only dream.
When we first met, he didn’t hesitate to shake my soaking hand. He sat down and was so warm and attuned to everything I was telling him. What immediately reassured me and made me feel comfortable was how he drew out the entire procedure and explained it in a way I could truly understand. I was so impressed—not just by the neat lines, but by his ability to reach his audience in a way that made them feel informed and empowered. Even after my surgery, he continued to check on my status and follow up consistently, which was exceptional care that I am eternally grateful for.
Now, I almost forget what it was like to live that way—constantly making adjustments and forcing myself into lifestyles that accommodated my condition. I used to never be able to wear sandals… now it’s all I wear, and I’m known for it hahaa! I used to never feel comfortable even stretching at the gym because it looked like I had peed myself.. and because of the ELS surgery, I am so much more confident in myself with much more control and efficiency in my life.
Even now, working in healthcare and aspiring to be a fellow physician, I have seen enough to say that Dr. Basseri is a rare gem! I am so lucky to have encountered him and witness the way he goes above and beyond for his patients!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Life-changing experience — truly beyond five stars
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Basseri and his entire office in Beverly Hills. This experience quite literally changed my life.
I suffered from severe hyperhidrosis for 38 years. If I had known sooner that this surgery existed, how smooth the process was, and how life-changing the results would be, I would have done this decades ago without hesitation.
From the very beginning, Dr. Basseri’s office went above and beyond. The staff worked tirelessly with my insurance company to get the procedure fully covered — something I honestly thought would never happen. We spent hours on the phone together, and not once did they give up or make me feel like a burden. They fought for me every step of the way, and that alone meant more than I can put into words.
Because of my condition, I had to undergo two separate surgeries within just a few months of each other. That alone can be stressful, but the entire team made the process feel organized, calm, and reassuring. The intake nurses, anesthesiologist, surgical staff, and Dr. Basseri himself were all outstanding — professional, compassionate, and truly caring.
One thing that truly sets Dr. Basseri apart is the personal level of communication he provides. Even to this day, I am able to text him directly if I have a simple question, and he responds incredibly quickly. Having that kind of ongoing, personal access to my surgeon is something I had never experienced before. It speaks volumes about how much he genuinely cares about his patients and about helping people who struggle with this condition.
Dr. Basseri is not only an exceptionally skilled surgeon, but a genuinely kind and compassionate human being. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered every question, and never once made me feel rushed or dismissed.
The results have been nothing short of life-changing. Everyday things that most people take for granted — shaking hands, daily confidence, and not constantly worrying about sweating — are now part of my normal life. The freedom this surgery has given me is hard to fully put into words unless you’ve lived with hyperhidrosis yourself.
Because of how incredible this experience has been, my son — who also suffers from the same condition — will also be having this procedure. There is absolutely no question where we will go or who we trust to perform it.
Dr. Basseri and his entire team deserve far more than a five-star rating. If you are struggling with hyperhidrosis and feel hopeless, please know that there is real help — and this is the place to go.
This surgery didn’t just fix a medical condition — it gave me confidence, freedom, and a quality of life I never thought I’d experience. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Basseri and his team for changing my life in a way I will carry with me every single day.

If you have hyperhidrosis, you know that it is a condition that affects every aspect of your life—taking a toll on your mental & physical health. When I was 16 years old I had the ETS surgery and it changed my life for the better so when I found out there was another surgery (ELS) for my feet I was thrilled! I was also a little nervous since Dr. Basseri is the only surgeon in the country offering this procedure and to be honest it sounded too good to be true. With that being said, as soon as I did the phone consultation and thereafter met him in person I knew I was in great hands. He’s one of the only doctors I’ve ever met that truly understands the gravity of this condition and can empathize with your personal, lifelong struggles. The procedure went perfectly and now 3 months later there hasn’t been one drop of sweat from my feet and I’m sitting here getting a pedicure as I write this review. I know, incredible right?! When I say that I finally feel comfortable in my own skin I mean it. I’m no longer avoiding social outings, I can walk across the house without making puddles and I can wear all of the beautiful shoes I have always dreamt of wearing. I cannot recommend Dr. Basseri enough, I’ll be forever grateful for him and his team.
Madeline Michaud
Truly appreciate everyone here! Its the absolute best experience. Great location. Very informative. Super Chill environment with even a abc pharmacy downstairs. Flew in from South Georgia back in October 2025, received the ETS procedure. Hope to possibly be returning by april 2026 for ELS( Lumbar) Highly recommend!! Dr. Basseri & Dr. Reisfeild as well as the anesthesiologist, nurse & staff are amazing! If you’re interested, its completely worth it!!! Also they recommended the cutest hotel down the road made for such a great stay. My hands & underarms are cured!!! Love the whole experience so much!!!

I got the ETS and ELS surgery both in 2025 and I’m very happy with the results! Dr Basseri and his team are incredibly supportive, kind, and willing to answer the million questions you may have (like I did). Dr Basseri walks you through the entire process and is always a text or phone call away to help with anything (pre and post op). I would recommend them to anyone interested in getting rid of their hyperhidrosis because they are the best. I have never received better care from any other doctor before. 10/10 recommendation!
Raymond Mirshafiei
My son who is 13 years old had the surgery done for hands and under arms. We are very happy with the outcome. Since the first interaction of me, reaching out to the facility all the way to the end and the post operation. The staff and doctors are absolutely amazing. They answered every question, they are very professional. I would definitely recommend.
Christina Yepez
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Basseri and the entire team at The Center for Hyperhidrosis. From my first call to walking out after surgery, every single person was kind, professional, and unbelievably organized. The facility is spotless and calming, the staff explained everything clearly, and I felt genuinely cared for the whole time.
I had a lumbar sympathectomy for severe plantar hyperhidrosis. The process was smooth, on time, and I was kept comfortable throughout. Post-op instructions were clear, and the follow-up was attentive without being overbearing.
The best part? Results. I was up and out just two days later-shopping for my first pair of flip-flops ever. If you know, you know: that’s huge, life-changing.
My only regret is not doing this sooner.
Huge thank you to Dr. Basseri and the whole team for giving me dry feet!. If you’re on the fence, book the consult–you’ll be in the very best hands.
Brett Halsey-Franke
I had an amazing experience with the center of hyperhydrosis. I have struggled with sweaty hands and feet my whole life. I got the ETS surgery October 2025 and I have gained my confidence back. From the start the center for hyperhydrosis was helpful and made the experience easy. They were helpful with the insurance process even though I live in a different state. The surgery was life changing! I have anxiety and every person there made me feel safe and comfortable through the whole process. I’m so grateful for Dr. Basseri and the whole surgical team!! I will be planning to get the ELS surgery soon!
Gracie Bagwell
We had such a wonderful experience at the Center for Hyperhidrosis. Dr. Basseri was incredibly professional, compassionate, and thorough. He took the time to explain every detail of what would happen during my daughter’s surgeries and helped us truly understand why she suffers from hyperhidrosis.
The medical center itself and the entire staff were absolutely on point—kind, attentive, and reassuring every step of the way. We feel so grateful to have found Dr. Basseri.
My daughter who is 12yrs old has suffered from hyperhidrosis in her hands and feet since early childhood and thanks to Dr. Basseri, she is now completely symptom-free. We are beyond thankful and highly recommend him to anyone dealing with hyperhidrosis.

From our very first interaction, Dr. Eraj Basseri and his entire team went above and beyond. The early phone calls (especially those helping us navigate and secure insurance coverage) set the tone for the entire experience. Every question was answered thoroughly, every concern taken seriously, and not a single call went unanswered. On the day of surgery, the nurses and Dr. Basseri made both us and our son (15 years old) feel genuinely cared for and supported. They spoke directly to him, reassured him, and treated him with respect and warmth, which made an intimidating experience feel calm and manageable. We never once felt rushed or overlooked.
Dr. Basseri’s expertise is undeniable. Our son’s surgery for hyperhidrosis of the hands and armpits went smoothly, and his recovery exceeded our expectations. He experienced no post-surgical complications, healed quickly, and had minimal discomfort. The incisions were small, clean, and healed beautifully. The precision, professionalism, and confidence of Dr. Basseri and his team gave us complete peace of mind throughout the entire process.
This procedure has changed our son’s life in ways that are both profound and deeply moving. Just the other day, he put on his snowboarding gloves and stopped in amazement because his hands were dry. No soaking through the gloves. No anxiety. No embarrassment. Even more meaningful, his confidence at school has returned. He is no longer distracted by the constant fear of when the sweating might start or whether teasing might follow. Perhaps the clearest sign of this transformation: he has started wrestling – a sport he never would have considered before surgery. Watching him reclaim confidence and freedom has been incredible.
We give Dr. Eraj Basseri and the Center for Hyperhidrosis our strongest, most enthusiastic recommendation. For any parent whose child is suffering from a deep insecurity caused by hyperhidrosis, and who is looking for a responsible, compassionate, and highly skilled medical team, look no further. Dr. Basseri and his staff do more than perform a procedure. They changed our family’s, and more importantly, our son’s life.
Jennifer Marin
I have struggled with hyperhidrosis my entire life, I heard about Dr. Basseri and his clinic on instagram and thought to myself this is too good to be true. I did some research and had to fight with my insurance to cover it- but both procedures were totally worth it. While, I do have compensatory sweating I’d chose it a million times over having my hands and feet drenched constantly. These surgeries have changed my life and I’d recommend anyone with hyperhidrosis to Dr. Basseri and his wonderful team.
Alexandria Taylor
I am in the military and we’re always shaking hands. I used to try to avoid it as much as possible due to my condition. I regret not doing this surgery sooner. This surgery has made me more confident and completely changed my life. Thank you to Dr. Basseri and his team. They were great
Livet Quinones
I finally made the decision to do something about my excessive sweating in my hands, pits, and feet. At the Center for Hyperhydrosis the staff and doctors there were all very welcoming and really took the time to help me understand the process of the surgeries. The results from this procedure have been life altering and it has given me my confidence back. If anyone else is out there struggling with the same issues, I highly recommend this center to help to give you that better quality of life.
Ridge Williams
I am 45 years old and have lived with hyperhidrosis my whole life in both my hands and feet . Well up until about 7 months ago when I had the surgery for my hands . Let me tell you that I could not be happier with the outcome! Not only do my hands not sweat anymore but my feet have also drastically improved as a result. Dr Basseri and his team are amazing. The post surgery was not bad at all either. I was working out again after about 2 weeks . If you are suffering with this I would highly recommend you make an appointment and get the surgery done . It’s the end of August and very hot where I am and I am typing this with completely dry hands ! Thank you Dr Basseri and team. God bless you all
Mike Fowler
I have struggled with hyperhidrosis for 27 years! I’m a registered nurse and love to network with people and touch and hug friends and family. All of which was extremely challenging when worrying about my palmar and facial hyperhidrosis. Dr. Basseri and his team are so kind, empathetic and understanding. THESE are the experts. They are worth a flight and stay in Beverly Hills– this procedure has already completely changed my life. I had so much fear prior to meeting Dr. Basseri about potential side effects from ETS surgery (such as compensatory sweating), but with his knowledge and expertise, these things are nowhere even close to being a problem in my life post surgery (like some of the things you may read on the internet). I’m more confident than ever and I’m just so thankful I finally did it. My only regret is not having done it sooner! The entire team was nothing short of amazing. I can’t thank them enough for changing my life and taking such great care of me.
Zoe Saavedra
If you are reading this please take this as your sign to schedule the surgery! Doctor Basseri and his entire team provide first class medical care. I felt very well taken care of at the center. I spent ten years avoiding ETS surgery because I spent too much time fearing it due to negative online forums about the procedure. Modern medicine and ETS surgery have come a long way and I wish I’d done this sooner. I had my surgery in May 2025 and it has absolutely improved my quality of life . My palmar hyperhidrosis is completely gone! Post surgery I have very minor compensatory sweating on my lower back (only when working out and in the heat) which is very manageable. This however, is nothing in comparison to the amounts I used to drip on my hands. I also knew going in what to expect after the procedure because it was thoroughly explained in my pre-op appointment. I cannot say enough how amazing my results have been and how much my life has improved post ETS. I no longer live with the crippling anxiety or embarrassment from this condition and I wish the same for all of you reading this.
Erendira Monroy
My son had his surgery in May 2025. We were nervous about the whole process but after talking to Dr. Basseri, we both were convinced that this is the right procedure to permanently fix my son’s sweaty hands condition. Dr. Basseri and his staff are so caring and personable. My son was totally comfortable and happy going into the surgery. Post surgery, everything happened as expected. Dr. Basseri called several times to follow up with my son recovery process. We could not be any happier with the result. Thank you so much for making a difference in my son’s life.
Gigi Tran
Dr B and his staff were amazing. Very hospitable and patient. Dr B is so personable and checked on me after surgery many times. The surgery was an overall easy and quick recovery. The process was well explained and executed perfectly. My life has changed and I am so thankful for finding Dr B!
Julie Huggins
When I first found the Center I was enthusiastic that there was a surgery that addressed my excessive hand sweating. From start to finish the entire experience was top notch. The staff guided me through the process and was there to answer any questions I had. Prior to the day of surgery Dr Basseri personally introduced himself and once the day came I felt 100% comfortable!. The results were immediate and I am still in disbelief that after all these years I can finally live my life to the fullest!!!
Melanie Chanman
I received this surgery for my hands back in May, and only wish I had done it sooner. It has been absolutely life changing. Dr. Basseri and his team were absolutely amazing, they made me feel extremely safe and comfortable as I had not had surgery like this before. Recovery was quick and I was back to normal life the next week. I can’t wait to go back to get the surgery for my feet too!!
Kenzie Brown
My daughter had surgery in April 2025. Our family had an amazing experience with Dr. Basseri and his staff. The nurses were an amazing support to her before and after surgery and Dr. Basseri went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and safe. Would 100% recommend for anyone who suffers.
Jaime
I had surgery September 2024 with Dr. Basseri for excessively sweating palms. Dr. Basseri and the entire staff were exceptional. They were incredibly warm and made me feel at ease, waving away any anxiousness I felt awaiting the surgery. They made the whole process simple and he walked me through every step before, explaining exactly what he was going to do. After the surgery, the entire staff was very patient and made sure everything was perfect! Recovery was quick and easy and I am forever grateful for this surgery! I wish I had done it sooner!
Hailey S
Dr. Basseri and the staff at the Center for Hyperhidrosis exceeded my expectations! The entire experience made me feel super comfortable and at ease. Dr. Basseri spoke with me on the phone several times prior to surgery to answer questions and address concerns. I, like many, had concerns about side effects, and he put me in contact with previous patients to hear about their experiences. Following surgery, Dr. Basseri reached out directly for several weeks to see how I was recovering. These surgeries changed my life for the better in so many ways, and I just wish I would have known about them earlier. I have no regrets and would encourage anyone who is considering this to explore if it’s a good fit for you!
Colleen Storey
I’ve always suffered with sweaty hands my whole life, Dr Basseri is very understanding knowledgeable and caring, Felt comfortable the whole time with him and the nurses. Not having sweaty hands anymore is life changing. Would 100% recommend to anyone that has the opportunity for the surgery. My brothers are next for the surgery!
Stephanie Yepez
Long story short DO IT!!! My only regret is not doing it sooner. For years I researched potential remedies and solutions, but literally nothing worked; not meditation (i tried numerous ones), not any topical creams, not botox, not the iontophoresis machine (which in fact made my hyperhidrosis worse), nothing! I had lost all hope. When I reached the point where my hyperhidrosis was literally preventing me from my starting my career (my dream job), this is when I finally expressed to my mom and sister what I had been going through. Together we found Dr. Basseri and The Center For Hyperhidrosis! Out of all the doctors and medical professionals I have come across in my lifetime, I truly believe and felt like Dr. Basseri not only heard me, but also really cared about me and wanting to help me.
It has now been over a year since my ETS surgery and I still am in disbelief that this is my new reality:) Later I was fortunate enough to also be able to get my feet done (now 7 months post ELS) and I could not be happier! Everything just seems easier! And I love not wearing socks:)))
I am incredibly thankful and appreciative to Dr. Basseri and The Center For Hyperhidrosis for all that they have done for me!
Chloe Segal
The team and the surgery was everything we could have hoped for to help our son. We suffered way too long for such an easy, effective and comfortable experience. Would highly recommend. We are going for a second surgery for the feet soon after the hands was so successful. My athletic son is excelling in baseball and his confidence is high. He even had his first date!
Wendy Glidden
I underwent both the ETS and ELS surgeries earlier this year and the results have been life changing! Dr. Basseri was amazing, taking the time to fully explain the procedure and answer all the questions I had. The team at both the office and surgery center were incredible and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable! Before speaking to Dr. Basseri, I was hesitant about the surgery due to concerns about compensatory sweating. He explained that it’s minimal and predictable, only occurring in situations where anyone would sweat, like hot weather or when working out. I have found it to be completely manageable and so much better than living with dripping hands!
Oriana Taha
Dr Basseri and his team are the absolute best! I underwent ELS surgery in December and the results are PERFECT! Everyone was so welcoming and supportive throughout the entire process. I cannot thank them enough for everything!!
Jordan Rushing
Dr. Eraj Basseri was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that I could understand and he provide me the best and most individualized medical care possible. I felt very comfortable and confident in his hands and also he provide excellent aftercare. Thank you
