Farid Besharat, M.D.Pulmonologist & Intensivist

Dr. Besharat trained at UCLA for internal medicine and pulmonary medicine and finished his studies in 1995. He will evaluate your lungs and overall health before surgery and will monitor you during your hospital stay. Dr. Besharat will help you quit smoking before your surgery and will help you stay smoke-free afterwards.

"Once you quit smoking, an entire new world will open up. You will have more energy, more stamina, and you'll feel better during the day and sleep better at night. As a result, you'll be taking walks around the neighborhood, meeting new people, discovering new ways to have fun. Don't be surprised if you find yourself shopping for a bicycle or backpack a few weeks after you quit!"
