I have been performing bariatric surgery for the last 20 years. I started performing bariatric surgery in an academic practice and was the director of MIS/bariatric surgery and the directory of the MIS/Bariatric fellowship training program for 15 years. I recently left academia and have joined a very successful private practice that specializes in MIS and bariatric surgery. I continue to perform all types of bariatric surgery and revisional bariatric surgery. The practice is dedicated to bariatric surgery and bariatric education. Our campus includes everything that we need to complete all of the evaluations needed for bariatric surgery and we have our own state of the art Surgery Center for cash based bariatric surgery.
