I understand the effects of being overweight and specialize in the cause, prevention and treatment of obesity. While exercise and lifestyle changes help individuals lose weight, I perform bariatric surgery that has also assisted their long-term weight loss, as well as recovery from diabetes, and improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, among other health improvements.
