Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery treats obesity and related conditions through procedures like gastric sleeve and bypass. These surgeries alter digestive systems to promote significant, sustained weight loss. Ideal for patients with BMI 40 or 35 with comorbidities, our minimally invasive approaches reduce risks while improving metabolic health outcomes.
Gastric Sleeve
This procedure removes 80% of the stomach, creating a banana-shaped sleeve. By restricting capacity and reducing hunger hormones, gastric sleeve achieves 70%+ excess weight loss. Performed laparoscopically, it offers quicker recovery and fewer long-term complications compared to other bariatric options.
GERD Treatment
We offer LINX device implantation and Nissen fundoplication to correct chronic acid reflux. These procedures reinforce the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing stomach acid from damaging the esophagus. Surgical intervention provides lasting relief when medications and lifestyle changes fail to control GERD symptoms.
Hernia Repair
Our robotic and laparoscopic hernia repairs use mesh reinforcement for durable results. This approach reduces recovery time and chronic pain risks compared to open surgery. We treat inguinal, umbilical, and complex recurrent hernias with customized solutions for each patient's anatomy.
Gallbladder Surgery
Laparoscopic gallbladder removal treats symptomatic gallstones with minimal scarring. The procedure takes 35-45 minutes and allows same-day discharge. Our surgeons prioritize preserving bile duct integrity while ensuring complete stone removal to prevent future complications from gallbladder disease.
