We understand that losing weight and keeping it off over an extended period of time is difficult. We recognize that modifying eating behaviors is a lifetime commitment. This is why we consider our patients as “Patients for Life.”

Our surgeon and staff recognize that altering lifetime habits requires education, emotional support and commitment. We will help you to make a decision that will modify your eating behavior and assist you in making the necessary lifestyle changes that can lead you to better health.

Making a decision for the best surgical option is a difficult one. We invite you to explore our pages to decide whether you are a candidate for surgery or non-surgical treatments, and whether we are the program for you.
