Dr. Sean Kelishadi's Patient Testimonials
After my ACL surgery, my orthopedic surgeon was surprised by how quickly my tissue was healing. I'd been on a BPC-157 protocol overseen by Dr. Kelishadi for 8 weeks. The clinical oversight made me comfortable with a compound I'd been skeptical of.
First provider who told me my testosterone was actually in normal range and I didn't need TRT. Most clinics would have just sold me the protocol. Dr. Kelishadi reviewed my labs and gave me a non-pharmaceutical approach first.
The level of detail in the pre-op consultation was unlike anything I'd experienced before. Dr. Kelishadi walked through every step, every risk, and every realistic outcome. That honesty is why I chose him.

From injectable treatments and skin rejuvenation to semaglutide, testosterone therapy, and peptide protocols, every service at SSK Longevity is reviewed through the same clinical lens — outcomes, safety, and what is actually supported by evidence in Newport Beach's demanding aesthetic and wellness market.
