About Me

A patient who comes in who’s obese+E55 typically has several associated conditions with that -- diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, sleep apnea. We treat and target all of these conditions, all at the same time. Seeing how things have progressed and improved after surgery is very exciting for me.
