Some issues Dr. Mohammed Saadi, MD can help you with:

Biopsy

A biopsy is a procedure performed to remove a small sample of cells for testing. The cells are examined in a laboratory to check for disease, or sometimes to see how badly a known disease is affecting them. Biopsy can be performed on any part of the body.

Although biopsy is most often associated with cancer, it can also be used to check for other diseases, such as infections. A biopsy sample can be scraped, cut, collected with a needle, taken with a machine that punches out a tiny piece, or removed with the tiny tools in an endoscope.

In most cases, a biopsy is a simple outpatient procedure. Depending on the procedure, patients may need to stop taking certain medications beforehand, such as blood thinners. It is important for patients to tell doctors if they are pregnant, as certain biopsies require the use of x-rays to guide the needle to the right location. There is usually very little pain associated with a biopsy. Patients will have to wait a few days to hear the results.

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is the use of a special tool called a colonoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end) to examine the inside of the colon and rectum. The tube is typically inserted anally, and it allows the physician to examine the large intestine from the inside. It may be done at any time to diagnose bowel problems, but routine colonoscopies are advised after the age of 50 to screen for colon cancer.

A colonoscopy may be performed to diagnose:

Intestinal ulcers
Polyps
Bowel cancer
An unidentified source of pain or bleeding in the intestine

Patients may be asked to drink only liquids in the days before a colonoscopy, or they may be given an enema to remove residual fecal matter. Before the exam, patients are given medication to help them relax, and then lay on their side on a table. The scope is inserted into the anus and gently moved all the way through the large intestine. Air may be pumped into the intestine to improve the view for the physician. Any polyps that are found will be removed. Then the colonoscope will be withdrawn. A colonoscopy is not usually painful, but patients may feel some bloating or have some cramps right afterward. If patients have polyps removed, they might experience a small amount of bleeding. Any side effects should go away within a few hours.

LGBT Issues

LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, and is indicative of a greater spectrum of different sexualities and genders that some people may identify with. LGBT issues are issues that LGBT people may face in their daily life, affecting children, adolescents, and adults. Adverse experiences and stigmas may contribute to depression, anxiety, and undue stress in LGBT people. Common LGBT issues may include:

Harassment and bullying
Social rejection
Higher risk of suicide

Healthcare providers are working to provide more inclusive care for people of all sexual orientations and identities. Some choose to address LGBT issues through procedures such as chest reconstruction, facial feminization surgery, masculinization surgery, and glottoplasty (surgery to raise the pitch of one's voice). Sensitive OB-GYN care and hormone therapy may also be options for people with LGBT issues.

LGBT therapy can also help people navigate LGBT issues and mental health problems. LGBT affirmative therapy specializes in creating "affirmative" spaces for people who are LGBT. LGBT affirmative therapists use patients' preferred pronouns, address homophobia and social biases, and act as LGBT advocates in their talk therapy sessions.

So some folks don’t want humorous reviews, they want just the facts. So facts first: Dr. Saadi is awesome. He is punctual, friendly, extremely professional, knows what he is doing, presents the information about the procedures he will conduct and what you need to do in preparation clearly and in plain language. He makes SURE you understand what is going to happen and don’t walk out feeling uncomfortable or scared. You walk out feeling FINE. For those of you who care about these sorts of things, Dr. Saadi is also fairly easy on the eyes, if you catch my drift. He has a good sense of humor, but doesn’t let that get in the way of being an excellent doctor and practitioner of medicine.

His staff is also AMAZING. Seram and Mariam are smart, fast, friendly, knowledgeable, and get s*** done. There are others that I did not catch the names of, but all of Dr. Saadi’s staff are literally like a super rock band if that rock band all wore scrubs and Crocs.

And don’t just take MY goofy word for it, this guy gets HIGHLY recommended by some of the best doctors I’ve ever seen. And they ALSO go to him. So this is a Doctor’s Doctor. This is like finding out the mechanic that other mechanics take their own personal cars to for specialized problems. You want THAT guy. In the case of gastroenterology (that’s such a hard word, can’t we just call them Butt Doctors? So much easier. I digress.), this is THE PERSON YOU WANT DOING THOSE THINGS. Why are still reading this? I just told you that you are not going to find a better gastroenerlrkehfsodjfhsduholist, you should be closing this and calling the number in this Google listing. Like now. Stop reading!!! This is the top doc you will find for this. Holy cow, you areI’m still reading this. OK I warned you. I get weird in my good reviews. Maybe you thought I had already got there. I have not. Now is where it gets weird. I present to you, the Dr Mohammed Saadi Hip-Hop Song Of Honor:

Did your physician for Primary Care
Thow their hands up in the air
And said, “yo, you just turned forty-eight
Something we need to investigate
Enough with your demur deferral
I’m writing you a darn referral
You protest and “But, but, but”
Your PCP says, “Shhhh. Time to check your butt.”

WEEE! COLONOSCOPY!
PARTY WITH COOL DOCTOR SAADI!
IT WON’T BE SO BAD, JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE
PARTY WITH COOL DOCTOR SAADI!!

At the front desk, you meet Seram
She says “Please fill these out by hand”
Your turn them into Miriam
Who says, “Wait. You forgot this part.” (Record scratch and beat stops.)
(Beat starts again)

They take you back, put you in a room
Sitting there, it’s all doom and gloom
Doc Saadi walks in, and this dude is yoked
He says “Don’t Fret, You should be stoked”
While he starts doing 200 pull-ups
He explains to you what are polyps
And how he’s got this robot snake
That will hunt and find and extricate
He shows you this cool stuff on a computer
About how their gonna fix up your Pooter
He tells you it will all go fine
As long you you toe the line
With what you drink and what you eat
Because last’s night dinner he does not want to meet

Break It Down
You can eat Jello
Long as its Yellow
JELLO. YELLOW. YELLOW. JELLO
YELLOW. JELLO. JELLOW YELLOW!!!!

WEEE! COLONOSCOPY!
PARTY WITH COOL DOCTOR SAADI!
IT WON’T BE SO BAD, JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE
PARTY WITH COOL DOCTOR SAADI!!
