dr. talar tejirian
Dr. Talar Tejirian, better known as Dr. T, is a board-certified general surgeon in Los Angeles. She graduated Summa Cum Laude and with College Honors from UCLA with a double major in Psychology and Neuroscience. She received her medical degree from the University of San Francisco, California (UCSF) which ranks in the top five medical schools in the United States. She completed six years of general surgical residency and fellowship training and is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. For over a decade, she dedicated her professional time to treating patients with a variety of surgical problems, training future generations of surgeons and performing research that has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals such as the Journal of the American College of Surgeons and the Journal of Colon and Rectal Surgery.
Dr. Tejirian is a leading expert on anorectal problems. With her unique focus of patient-centered care that encourages lifestyle changes and integrates natural and medical treatments, Dr. T has led thousands of patients who have suffered for years toward recovery. While about 80 percent of the U.S. population suffers from anal problems at some point in their life, a large number of them go without treatment and choose to suffer in silence, embarrassed to seek help. That’s why Dr. T has made it her mission to educate both patients and other physicians about this neglected part of the body. Now she wants that education and information to extend beyond the exam room through BootyMD.
In 2019, Dr. Tejirian had to retire from clinical practice due to a nerve injury resulting from cervical spine surgery. The subsequent personal journey of rehabilitation awakened her passion for health and wellness and reignited her love for health education. Using her platform, both as a surgeon and health educator, she is now focused on promoting health and wellness within healthcare and for the public at large. In addition to public health education about booty problems, she is writing and speaking about the importance of preserving personal health and injury prevention. She has created and organized wellness conferences and wellness centers within medical educational events. She has a special interest in integration of wellness of the body and mind. The positive response of her medical community encouraged her to continue and expand her mission to a wider audience. Her goal, through her work with the BootyMD organization, is to foster a world where every part of the body, mind, and soul of each individual is immersed in health & wellness.
Women-created and women-led, BootyMD is fiercely heading a mission to spread the message of health and wellness.
