Our Hernia Repair Techniques
Laparoscopic Surgery
Small incisions are made and plastic tubes called ports are placed through. A camera and thin instruments are then introduced through the ports to access the inside of the patient.
Robotic Surgery
In robotic surgery, surgeon makes tiny incisions in body and inserts miniaturized instruments and a camera. Surgeon manipulates those instruments from a nearby computer console.
Open Surgery
Open hernia surgery is performed for large and complex cases, a single long incision is made in the groin. If the hernia is bulging out of the abdominal wall, the bulge is pushed back into place.
Mesh Procedure
In this method surgeon uses a synthetic or biologic sheet, called mesh, as either a permanent or temporary support for organs and other tissues during surgery.

I was able to get an appointment quickly and the PA diagnosed my hernia. My surgery was scheduled and completed by Dr. Roohipour just a few short weeks later. All went well and I’m glad I got this taken care of. Easy process. Kind people. I’d recommend them.
I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The entire staff was welcoming, friendly, and professional. The doctor took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and made sure I understood everything without ever making me feel rushed.
I also want to give a special thank you to Belen for being so helpful. She answered all of my questions, made the process easy, and promptly sent me the paperwork I needed to return to work. Her kindness and excellent communication were truly appreciated.
Overall, I highly recommend this office for their exceptional patient care and outstanding customer service. Thank you to everyone for making my visit such a positive experience!

The care quality is exceptional. The officie experience is great, everyone is knowledgeable, professional and willing to help out. The type of medical care is very diverse. They tackle many issues. Parking is easy, prices are reasonable (with or without insurance, it's definitely affordable). 100% recommended clinic/private practice.
I had my hernia surgery two weeks ago. The surgery went well, but the recovery wasn't easy.
The staff was wonderful—they called me several times to check on my recovery, and the after-hours doctor responded quickly when I needed help in the middle of the night.

Went for a follow up, had surgery a week ago Dr. Cohen was very helpful and answered my questions. Thanks.
Every single employee was helpful, friendly and good natured as they did their jobs and helped me through my whole experience at the Hernia Center. My questions were always answered and any requests I had were attended to right away. They are very efficient in their work yet very pleasant with each other and with patients.
Very professional and comfortable office - very patient friendly and easy communication
Very nice
I recently had bilateral hernia surgery. Dr. Roohipour, Belen, Carolyn & the team were exemplary. I would give them 1000 stars if I could. The entire process from consult to surgery was seamless. Additionally, the Center was transparent with the cost as well. I have nothing but positive things to same about my experience. Should anyone ever need hernia surgery, this is the place to go. Dr. Roohipour and his team will take excellent care of you. Couldn't be happier with the results.
They are very friendly nice and professional I have very good experience do my hernia surgery whit them thank you all the Torrance Hernia & Endoscopy Center for your very kind services
Would recommend this place. Highly professional and welcoming place I knew I was in good hands based on this positive experience.
I had a great experience with Dr Roohipour and the Torrance hernia center. Dr Roohipour and his team pin pointed exactly where the hernias were and spent the time to go over the plan to fix them. He was in the room with me for about 30 minutes explaining the process and answering my questions. I had the surgery and so far everything is going as planned. I would 100% recommend Torrance hernia and Dr Roohipour. Thank you.
My experience was increadable. My 3rd hernia in 14 months before I found Dr. Cohen. Dr. Cohen and team provided quality care, making me feel heard and spent as much time as my spouse and I needed to help us understand the problem and plan for surgery. Great staff and quality services. I am so grateful for the whole team. Breath of fresh air that personalized, compassionate care exists! I trust this center and felt supported the whole time. Shout out to Jenny and front desk for quick responses. Also to the nurse putting my favorite music on before I went under and making me laugh and feel relaxed/safe with her positive energy and bringing fun into a surgery prep!!! Highly recommended. Forever grateful.
