Services
Gastric Bypass
Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery creates a smaller stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine to promote significant weight loss. This procedure helps patients achieve long-term weight management while improving obesity-related health conditions. Our expert surgical team utilizes minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery and reduced scarring.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy removes approximately 80% of the stomach to create a banana-shaped sleeve that limits food intake. This procedure preserves normal digestive function while promoting satiety through hormonal changes. Patients benefit from our comprehensive pre- and post-operative care programs to ensure optimal outcomes.
Support Groups
Monthly in-person and online support groups provide ongoing encouragement through all stages of the weight loss journey. Led by registered nurses and healthcare professionals, these sessions feature guest speakers, educational content, and peer-to-peer networking. Participants gain valuable insights about nutrition, exercise, and maintaining long-term success.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutritional guidance from registered dietitians helps patients develop healthy eating habits before and after surgery. Our evidence-based approach includes meal planning, vitamin supplementation strategies, and long-term dietary maintenance programs. Patients receive ongoing support to ensure proper nutrition throughout their weight loss journey.
Consultation
Comprehensive consultations evaluate patients' medical history, current health status, and weight loss goals. Our team conducts thorough assessments to determine surgical eligibility and develop customized treatment plans. The process includes psychological evaluations, insurance verification, and detailed explanations of all available options.

Wonderful facility and staff! They understood that I wanted to work with the dietitian only on an eating plan and respected that. The Doctor gave me all my options and listened. She never ever pushed surgery on me. It's great and I'm losing weight.

I have truly enjoyed my experience here, I drive 2 and half hours to come here and I would do it all over again. They have adapted to my schedule, very helpful and are very patient!!! All they employees are very friendly, from the front desk to the Dr. I'm still waiting to get my surgery date, but it's very close.
