Jeffrey Bechler M.D.

Jeffrey Bechler was assigned next to my locker at Palos Verdes High School for 4 years as class of 1978 I noticed beautiful teen girls were always around calling him babe as a hottie. He was handsome for sure.

In 1997 Dr. Bechler saved my life! I had my first of many knee surgeries. I was just 21 years old and 10 days post -op without symptoms had a dvt. He didn't think it was anything but said to be safe, sent me for a doppler, and to both of our surprise, it was in fact a clot! Had it not been for him I would not be here because five days later, I had a PE and almost lost my life.

When I reconnected with Dr. Bechler years later I reminded him that he saved my life and that I was eternally grateful. When I hit the 25 year anniversary I saw him for that same silly knee, and again I thanked him for saving my life. He looked at me and smiled. He was so humble.

I will miss him dearly. I am forever grateful for him. May he rest in eternal peace and his memory ways be for a blessing.

Dr. Jeff Bechler saved my son Beau's collegiate baseball career by providing expert diagnosis and care to his injured throwing arm in 2013. I will be forever grateful for this. You will always be a great doctor and human being. God bless you and your family.
