Idea of Care

When it comes to bariatric surgery, I assess each patient as a whole to decide which procedure is best for them. Obesity is a multifaceted condition with multiple causes, so I strive to pin down the root cause of each patient’s condition and work with a team to address their nutrition, exercise needs, hormone imbalances, sleep issues and more. I want to offer the best results to every patient.
