Dr. Eraj Basseri is a general surgeon and Medical Director of The Center for Hyperhidrosis. Known for his expertise in minimally invasive surgery, he specializes in both Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS) and Endoscopic Lumbar Sympathectomy (ELS), making him one of only two surgeons worldwide to routinely perform both procedures. The Center has helped more than 9,400 patients achieve lasting relief from hyperhidrosis, with a 99.2% success rate. Beyond his surgical practice, he has contributed to the medical field through multiple research publications.
Dr. Rafael Reisfeld also performs both ETS (Hands) and ELS (Feet) procedures. He has focused his career on hyperhidrosis since 1995, dedicating himself to advancing the knowledge and techniques associated with the condition. Dr. Reisfeld has performed hundreds of procedures to help patients overcome excessive focal hyperhidrosis. He has authored seven peer-reviewed articles on this subject and dedicates extensive time and research to the advancement of techniques and knowledge in the field. His goal is to share his expertise with surgeons worldwide.
Choosing the right hyperhidrosis surgeon requires careful consideration of experience, training, and specialization. A qualified hyperhidrosis surgeon should demonstrate extensive experience specifically with sympathetic surgery procedures, as these operations require precise anatomical knowledge and refined surgical techniques. The complexity of ETS and ELS procedures demands a surgeon who has dedicated significant time to mastering these specialized interventions.
Patients considering hyperhidrosis surgery should schedule consultations to discuss their specific condition, treatment options, and expected outcomes. A skilled hyperhidrosis surgeon will thoroughly evaluate each case and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach based on the patient’s individual needs and medical history.
