At SCLC, our patients mean the world to us. That’s why we developed a unique process called H.A.L.O. (Health And Liver Optimization) to help our patients reach their goals, regardless of their conditions.
If you have a GI or liver disease, seeing a board-certified gastroenterologist and hepatologist is the first step toward wellness. At SCLC, we partner with patients, referring doctors, and the industry to provide the most advanced approaches and techniques for GI and liver disease.
At SCLC, we love our patients…and the feeling is mutual! That’s because we treat each patient individually – we never take a cookie-cutter approach – and our patients appreciate that.
We measure our success by patient satisfaction with our services and the care they have received at our Centers. At SCLC, we believe a patient who is satisfied with their care will have an easier journey to wellness.
What makes us different? Here are just some of our differences:

“The team here is like guardian angels to lead me to liver treatment. They’re like my GPS guiding me!"
— Jesus
“Two years and two months ago I was ‘dead’ in the hospital with not much hope of recovery. And now for over two years, I’ve been at work every day full time and I do more things now than I did before. There is hope as long as you make the right decisions and stick with them.”
— Liver patient
“When we were diagnosed we were both very young and led a very healthy lifestyle. Our liver diagnosis came as quite a shock. Our primary care physician directed us to the Southern California Liver Centers. We went online and did our research and found that Dr. Hassanein and the Liver Centers were highly, highly recommended and highly reputable. We were absolutely thrilled that we could come here. They’re just amazing people. Very caring and compassionate.”
— Eric & Kate
“One of my friends told me ‘You have to go see Dr. Hassanein, he does miracles.’ After just two weeks… I stopped taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications because I couldn’t sleep without them. Now I’m sleeping normal sleep! I wake up in the morning feeling good about myself. I’m not afraid anymore. It’s such a relief!”
— Pakinam
“The team here at Southern California Liver Centers are like guardian angels. When I met Dr. Hassanein, one of the things he said to me – and this just blew me out of the water – he bent over and he whispered to me ‘My job is to cure you.’ And I thought ‘this guy is talking my language!’ His staff was such a blessing, too. They were so full of encouragement and I think they recognized the fear that was in me.”
— Phyllis
“What’s unique about this team is that they look at the patient as a person, and they connect on all different levels. They provide the hope, the encouragement, and the commitment to support the patient through treatment. Dr. Hassanein and his staff are so committed to taking care of me in every way – physically and emotionally. "
