Khalili Center

What Khalili Center does

Khalili Center (legal entity: K and B Surgical Center; DBA: Weight Loss Surgery of Southern California, Khalili Center for Bariatric Care) is a private, single-location ambulatory surgical center headquartered at 9033 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, California, that performs bariatric and general surgery for patients primarily in Los Angeles County. Founded by Dr. Theodore Khalili, MD, FACS, the practice specializes in minimally invasive and robot-assisted weight loss procedures — gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y), sleeve gastrectomy, LAP-BAND, and revisional surgery — alongside general surgery (hernia, gallbladder, colon resection, reflux) and an adolescent weight loss program. The center is built around the clinical reputation of its founder, who performed the United States' first robot-assisted gastric bypass in October 2002 using the da Vinci Si system, and a multidisciplinary Care Support Program (registered dietitians, psychologists, support groups, monthly walks with physicians). It also operates the Khalili Foundation, a 2010-launched non-profit for childhood obesity prevention.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare revenue: per-procedure payments for bariatric and general surgery, plus consultation and post-op care revenue, with collections split between insurance (most carriers cover BMI 35+ with comorbidities) and self-pay. Patient acquisition is consultation-based: website forms, free insurance verification, phone inquiries, professional referrals, and patient testimonial content, all converting into in-person consultations at the Beverly Hills facility. The center partners with Prosper Healthcare Lending to finance self-pay cases, and is AAAHC-accredited. It is a closely held private practice with no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no reported acquisition or expansion activity beyond the 2010 Foundation launch.

• Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve) Laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy that removes approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a tube-like gastric sleeve that reduces appetite by decreasing hunger hormones, for obese patients seeking surgical weight loss.
• LAP-BAND Surgery (Adjustable Gastric Banding) Adjustable gastric banding procedure that places an adjustable band around the top portion of the stomach to create a two-compartment stomach, limiting food intake, for obese patients seeking surgical weight loss.
• Revision Surgery (Revisional Bariatric Procedures) Revisional bariatric procedures to correct or modify previous weight loss surgeries that have caused complications, unsatisfactory weight loss, or anatomic/nutritional issues, for patients with failed prior bariatric surgeries.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• New York Bariatric Group: Private, multi-surgeon bariatric surgery practice offering gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, LAP-BAND and revisions in a multi-office metro setting — directly comparable to Khalili's single-location premium bariatric franchise in scope of services and self-pay/insurance revenue model.
• Beverly Hills Physicians: Multi-specialty private practice in the LA area offering bariatric surgery alongside cosmetic and general surgery. Closest geographic and service-mix peer, with multiple physicians and ASC-style service delivery like Khalili Center.
• Norwin Bariatric (or equivalent regional private bariatric ASC): Independent private bariatric surgery center offering gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and LAP-BAND procedures. Closely mirrors Khalili's single-location independent-ASC, surgeon-led private practice model.

Broad incumbents

• Cedars-Sinai Medical Center: Large academic medical center in Los Angeles with a comprehensive bariatric surgery program where Dr. Khalili previously served as director. Operates bariatric services as part of a broader hospital portfolio rather than a standalone ASC, but competes for the same severely obese patients in LA.
• UCLA Health Bariatric Surgery: Academic medical center offering a comprehensive bariatric and metabolic surgery program within its broader hospital system. Competitor for LA-area bariatric patients with deep institutional resources and brand, contrasting Khalili's private-ASC model.
• Cleveland Clinic Bariatric & Metabolic Institute: National leader in bariatric and metabolic surgery operating inside a major health system. Offers the full spectrum of bariatric procedures including robotic and revisional, comparable in clinical capability but with system-level scale and research budgets.
• Mayo Clinic Bariatric Surgery: Large academic institution running a high-volume bariatric surgery program as part of its comprehensive surgical services. Comparable in procedure mix and quality positioning, though embedded in a hospital rather than a standalone ASC.
• Mount Sinai Hospital Bariatric Surgery: Academic medical center offering comprehensive bariatric and metabolic surgery including robotic and revisional procedures. Differs from Khalili in being hospital-embedded rather than an independent ASC, but competes in clinical reputation for complex and revisional cases.

Regional players

• Scripps Health Bariatric Surgery: Southern California-based health system operating a multi-hospital bariatric program targeting the same LA-area patient population. Regional incumbent competing for the same BMI 35+ cohort with insurance contracts and hospital-based delivery.

Emerging players

• Rex Bariatric Specialists: Independent regional private practice focused on bariatric surgery and medical weight loss, including GLP-1 programs. Comparable in scale and service-mix but positioned as an emerging alternative to established single-specialty practices like Khalili.
