Services
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy reduces stomach size to promote significant weight loss by limiting food intake. Our tailored approach ensures optimal results using minimally invasive techniques. Patients benefit from reduced hunger hormones and improved metabolic health, supporting long-term lifestyle changes.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass creates a smaller stomach pouch and reroutes the digestive system to enhance weight loss. This dual-action method restricts intake and reduces calorie absorption. Our team ensures precise execution for sustainable outcomes and improved obesity-related conditions.
Robotic Assisted Surgery
Robotic-assisted techniques enhance surgical precision through advanced imaging and instrument control. Patients experience shorter recovery times, reduced pain, and lower complication risks. This technology supports complex procedures with enhanced dexterity and accuracy.

I wanted to sincerely thank doctor Mehran and his staff. I had a giant lipoma on my back and doctor Mehran with his tremendous experience walked me through the procedure prior to conducting the surgery. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, humble, honest and very meticulous. The day I went for my surgery, I know that I am in a good hand. Thank you so much doctor Mehran.
