OVERVIEW

Welcome to my Web page. I'm happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my surgical practice. I'm very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente because I've worked with so many wonderful colleagues and members. Biography I am a native Southern Californian and was born at Kaiser Permanente's Fontana Medical Center. I grew up as a Kaiser Permanente member and was always impressed with the high quality of care that my family and I received. I completed my undergraduate studies at Cal State Fullerton, where I studied biology and biochemistry. During that time, I volunteered at the Fontana Medical Center. After medical school and my surgery residency, I undertook further training in laparoscopic surgery at Washington University. I have given presentations at local, national and international medical meetings, and have published extensively in the field of general surgery. While at the Mayo Clinic for my residency, I received several honors. The one I am most proud of is the Mayo Brothers Distinguished Fellowship award, which is given once a year to the trainee at the Mayo Clinic that exemplifies the qualities of the Mayo brothers in patient care, research and outreach. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two children. About my practice My team and I strive to deliver the highest quality of care in a comfortable and compassionate way. Having trained with pioneers in surgery, I try to deliver the most up-to-date treatments. During my fellowship in minimally invasive surgery, I had the opportunity to learn from experts in laparoscopic procedures. I currently perform laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (Nissen fundoplication), laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair, laparoscopic treatment of achalasia (esophagomyotomy), laparoscopic ventral and inguinal hernia repair, laparoscopic obesity surgery (bypass and banding), and laparoscopic adrenalectomy and pancreatectomy. I'm a firm believer that all patients that qualify should be allowed to benefit from laparoscopic procedures. How I thrive I try to exercise daily. I spend my free time with my family doing activities rather than sitting around the house. Taking my family to church every weekend is an important part of our lives as well. Every year, we plan trips to new locations to help teach our kids about other cities, cultures and people.

"RESEARCH YOUR SURGEONS... I've had the pleasure of working with Tessier twice. He was referred to me as the ”guru" at the procedure. First surgical repair went great...2nd surgical repair- I met with Tessier, his intern & his PA. He had access to all records & imaging. On the day of surgery...he showed up, face beet red... He punctured my bladder during surgery & did an subpar patch. The surgical repair is already breaking down, he should've placed surrounding reinforcements & didn't. I had & still have significant pain at the surgical site. I experienced post-op complications, infection & hospitalization. I had to go to the ER twice for this, almost had to call EMS. Pre-op concerns were discussed & disregarded, & there's been no physical assessment for follow up, only 2 phone calls. When researching his license I found a recent arbitration settlement for patient injury. He works at Kaiser Fontana & Kaiser Ontario... Probably other sites as well. The entire Fontana Medical Center needs ...
an accreditation audit. "
