Services
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces stomach size, promoting significant weight loss. Ideal for patients with a BMI over 40, this surgery helps improve obesity-related conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure safety and long-term success.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the digestive system, limiting food intake and nutrient absorption. This procedure is highly effective for severe obesity and metabolic disorders. Patients benefit from comprehensive pre- and post-operative care to maximize outcomes.
GLP-1 Injections
GLP-1 injections like Ozempic and Wegovy aid weight loss by regulating appetite and blood sugar. Our team monitors progress to optimize dosages and minimize side effects. These injections are ideal for patients seeking non-surgical alternatives or adjuncts to surgery.
Weight Loss Coaching
Personalized coaching addresses nutrition, exercise, and behavioral changes to sustain weight loss. Registered dietitians and counselors provide tailored guidance, ensuring patients develop healthy habits and maintain long-term success through ongoing support.
Bariatric Counseling
Bariatric counseling addresses emotional and psychological factors affecting weight loss. Our specialists offer individual and group sessions to build resilience, manage stress, and foster a positive mindset, enhancing overall treatment effectiveness and patient well-being.

Originally had VSG in 2017 and a revision to RNY 2021. Dr. Cavazos was awesome both times. He is quick but not "rushed." He always worked with a sense of urgency which allows for a patient to feel they are important. He is down to earth but firm. I would certainly trust him again if needed. Too bad he doesn't do skin removal because I would be back in his care without doubts. As of to date- I have not experienced any problems with the office staff. They have always been kind and helpful.
