As a Bariatric Surgery patient myself, I understand the emotional aspects of obesity and what it takes to lose the weight to achieve good health and an improved quality of life. I have dedicated myself to help you overcome the diseases and social stigma related to obesity. I ensure that every patient is fully informed about every aspect of the treatment so there are no surprises before, during or after the Bariatric Surgeries. I am always available for my patients and have a true passion to help them change their lives for the best.

I truly enjoy my work as a Bariatric surgeon, especially when I get to see the results of my patients one, two, even three years down the road. Their successes inspire me and I honestly can say that I love my job. I am continually striving to provide the best medical care by attending classes and seminars on the newest Bariatric techniques and procedures; for example, the single-port incision Lap Band surgery and the Metabolic Surgery for Diabetes. I look forward to meeting you and helping you attain your desired health.

I am committed to every one of my patients and take extra steps to prevent complications and ensure excellent weight loss outcomes. It is a joy to hear back from patients, knowing that I helped them reach their weight loss goals.

I always treat my patients with dignity and respect, not only while they are in my care having Weight Loss Surgery, but also after they return home. I consider my job a true blessing to be able to make such an impact in the lives of others. I would like to get to know you and be able to make a difference in your life also.

Quality is my main focus. I have created an environment that is friendly and service oriented. My staff is always approachable and available to meet your needs. I am committed to my patients over the long term and follow up with them to ensure they will experience excellent outcomes over time.

Ten years ago, I had no empathy for obese people and believed they could control their weight on their own (and without surgery). I had a belief that surgeons who performed Weight Loss Surgery must not be good at general surgery and that is why they resorted to it. One day I realized that I had it all wrong and gained a better understanding and a sympathetic attitude about people dealing with obesity. I began to understand that obesity affects people mentally as well as emotionally and can impact their health in serious ways. I knew I had the education, the skills and the opportunity to do something for these people. So, I did. I am thankful that I had the ability to change my heart, mind and behavior about obesity surgery. Even though I had a successful surgical practice ten years ago, the difference is that I now have a passion for helping those who suffer from obesity.

My practice is 100% devoted to helping Lap Band and Gastric Bypass patients achieve healthier lifestyles. It brings me great pleasure to see patients shed their excess weight and start enjoying the simple pleasures of life – playing with their children or grandchildren, riding a roller coaster for the first time, starting to date or travel.
