Weight Loss Surgery and Medicine
The Weight Is Over – Start Your New Life Today
If you’re frustrated and struggling with your weight, the road to health can feel like a never-ending uphill climb. You try really hard, but the scale doesn’t always reflect your latest diet or exercise regimen. But it doesn’t have to be that way anymore. Just like other medical conditions, obesity is a chronic disease that requires treatment. We’re here to help. No referral needed, various insurance policies accepted. Request a consultation to learn more.
Weight Loss Surgery Options
We offer multiple, minimally invasive bariatric surgeries to help you achieve your health and weight loss goals. Your surgeon will work closely with you to pick the best procedure for your individual weight loss needs.
Medical Weight Loss
In addition to advanced bariatric surgery, we are proud to offer medical weight loss services as part of a holistic approach to obesity care. Medical weight loss uses evidence-based tools – such as FDA-approved medications, dietary counseling, and behavioral support – to help you achieve sustainable results. By integrating medical and surgical treatments, we can better support long-term success and empower you on every step of your weight loss journey.
You’re in Good Hands
At our practice, we’re committed to providing comprehensive weight loss treatments, tailored to each patient’s unique needs. We practice a multidisciplinary approach to treating obesity with both medical and surgical options. Our program provides personalized care beyond just the procedure for lasting results. You’ll be treated by an experienced, board-certified surgeon who specializes in bariatric surgery and uses a highly advanced robotic surgery system called the da Vinci 5™. You’ll also receive full support from our team of psychologists, registered dieticians, board-certified physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, exercise specialists, and monthly support groups.
