About Luis Benavente, MD, FACS

Philosophy of Care

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 patients with long-term weight loss, their recovery from diabetes, and improvements in cardiovascular risk factors, among other health improvements.
