Our experienced medical team includes bariatric surgeons, physicians, and specialized nurses who work together to provide safe, effective treatment options.

Our center has built its reputation on successful outcomes and exceptional patient care throughout the entire weight loss journey.
Services Offered
We offer a complete range of weight loss services, from non-surgical medical management to advanced bariatric surgery procedures. Our non-surgical services include physician-supervised weight loss programs with FDA-approved medications, comprehensive nutritional counseling, and behavioral modification support. For patients who qualify, we provide several bariatric surgery options including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and adjustable gastric banding procedures. Pre-operative preparation includes extensive medical evaluation, psychological assessment, nutrition education, and support group participation. Post-operative care includes regular follow-up appointments, nutritional monitoring, and ongoing support to ensure long-term success. We also offer revisional surgery for patients who've had previous bariatric procedures that need modification. Our registered dietitians provide specialized nutrition counseling for both surgical and non-surgical patients, addressing the unique nutritional needs of each treatment approach. Support groups meet regularly to provide peer encouragement and practical advice for navigating lifestyle changes.
Treatment Options
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Laparoscopic procedure that reduces stomach size by approximately 80%, limiting food intake while preserving normal digestion. Includes comprehensive pre and post-operative support and monitoring.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Advanced procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes intestines, reducing both food intake and calorie absorption with excellent long-term weight loss results.
Medical Weight Loss Program
Comprehensive non-surgical program including physician consultation, FDA-approved medications, nutritional counseling, and regular monitoring for patients not ready for surgery.
Nutritional Counseling and Support
Specialized nutrition guidance for both surgical and non-surgical patients, including meal planning, supplement management, and long-term dietary education with ongoing support group access.
What to Expect
For surgical candidates, the process begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine eligibility and appropriate procedure selection. This includes medical history review, physical examination, laboratory tests, and consultations with our multidisciplinary team. Patients attend required education sessions and support groups as part of preparation.
Non-surgical patients start with medical evaluation and goal setting, followed by personalized treatment plans that may include prescription medications, structured meal plans, and regular monitoring. Both surgical and non-surgical patients receive ongoing support through regular appointments, nutrition counseling, and access to support groups throughout their weight loss journey.

Insurance & Pricing
Most major insurance plans cover bariatric surgery for qualifying patients, and we have extensive experience navigating insurance requirements and approval processes. Our team will help determine your coverage and assist with pre-authorization. For non-surgical services, insurance coverage varies, but many medical weight loss services are covered. We provide detailed cost estimates for all services and offer financing options for procedures not covered by insurance. Our financial counselors work with patients to make treatment accessible and affordable.
First-Time Patient Tips
For surgical candidates, begin attending support groups early in the process to learn from others' experiences and prepare mentally for the lifestyle changes required. Follow all pre-operative instructions carefully, including dietary changes and medical clearances. Understand that surgery is a tool that requires lifelong commitment to dietary and lifestyle changes for success.
Non-surgical patients should be prepared for a gradual process that requires consistency with medications, diet changes, and follow-up appointments. Both surgical and non-surgical approaches require long-term commitment and lifestyle modifications. Our team provides extensive education and support to help you succeed, but your active participation is essential for optimal outcomes.
