About me

I am a bariatric surgeon with experience managing obesity and related diseases. I specialize in laparoscopic gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, and I have expertise with lap band and revisional bariatric surgery. I believe in a multidisciplinary approach to healthy weight management, utilizing dietitians, exercise physiologists, and neuropsychologists.
