Our mission is to provide support to those committed to a healthier lifestyle and improved quality of life through medical and surgical treatment of obesity. When all other methods of weight loss have failed, surgery may be the best option. Bariatric surgery, or weight loss surgery, has proven effective for reducing obesity. Losing weight provides numerous benefits for physical, mental and emotional well-being. A healthy weight enables a more active lifestyle, and can also be effective in treating conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease and arthritis. Patients need to meet specific qualifications regarding weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and health issues to be eligible for these procedures.
Losing weight through bariatric procedures involves more than surgery. It requires changing your life by changing your lifestyle. That's why, in addition to surgeons, our comprehensive bariatric services include experts ranging from licensed registered dietitians to psychologists and financial advisors, along with online education for patients and their families, and supportive post-operative programs. We also have a coordinator who works with you through the entire process to ensure that your care is tailored to your individual needs for the best possible outcome.
