Dr. Paul Enochs founded the North Carolina Triangle area's first and at the time, only private weight loss surgery center in 2002. As an innovator, he performed Raleigh’s first gastric bypass, first sleeve gastrectomy, first Lap-Band procedure, and first SADI procedure. To date, Dr. Enochs has performed more Bariatric procedures in the North Carolina area than any other bariatric surgeon. Dr. Enochs is the founding partner of Bariatric Specialists of North Carolina and Bariatric Specialists of the Carolinas. After establishing his practice, he then started and established programs at Rex Hospital, WakeMed Cary Hospital, and Franklin Regional Medical Center. He has served on the Board of Directors of Rex Surgery Center of Cary, and has served terms as Medical Director of Bariatrics for WakeMed Cary Hospital, Rex Hospital and Franklin Regional Medical Center. In addition to his practice in North Carolina, Dr. Enochs has been using his surgical expertise in the New York City area since 2022 performing complex revisional and robotic bariatric cases at the New York Bariatric Group. Dr. Enochs is a leading expert nationwide in robotic and revisional bariatric surgery and has remained on the forefront of cutting edge technology by utilizing robotics in his practice. He was the first in Wake County to perform a robotic gallbladder removal, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, Lap-Band procedure, and SADI procedure. He is a proctor for the robotic platform and is currently teaching other bariatric surgeons across the country this technique. Dr. Enochs was one of the first surgeons to add the Sleeve Gastrectomy with Single Anastamosis Duodenoilial Bypass (SIPS/SADS/SADI-S) to the arsenal of procedures he performs. This procedure is one of the latest advancements in bariatric surgery and provides patients with increased weight loss as well as may resolve type 2 diabetes altogether. The research, data, and publications from his early procedures helped to make the SADI procedure one of the most recent approved procedures by the ASMBS.
