Declined prod. Apparently non-notable, article asserts that he's been quoted, but not that he's been covered by reliable sources. No refs. I can find quotes by him but not much about him. --Nuujinn (talk) 23:57, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete -Nothing notable on Google and Yahoo search, when I searched Google News it only shows that he's served as an NFL doctor. SwisterTwister   talk  05:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete
 * He appears to have been on a few episodes of Dr 90210, but not enough that he should have his own article.
 * The Awards section shows that he's received a few minor awards, but once again nothing notable.
 * He has quite a list of publications in medical journals, but that just shows that he's a good academic surgeon, not necessarily a notable one. --Slashme (talk)
 * Delete Not notable, despite the overblown puffery of the article. The "awards" listed are nothing at all (for example, the "Physician Recognition Award" from the AMA and CMA merely means that he reported attending the required amount of continuing education ). I looked into that long, unlinked list of "Media" but found that when they say he was "featured" they merely mean he was quoted, for example in Los Angeles Magazine. There does not appear to be any significant coverage ABOUT him as required for notability. --MelanieN (talk) 13:59, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No references to support the claims in the article and a search to do so failed.Curb Chain (talk) 02:30, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
