Our Programs
Surgical Bariatrics Northwest takes a holistic approach to patient care. Our patients are individually prepared for surgery by a team of healthcare specialists from the disciplines of critical care medicine, mental health, physical therapy, and dietary science. Surgeries are performed by a board certified general surgeon who has advanced specialized training in laparoscopic surgical techniques and is a bariatric medical specialist. Professionally directed after-care support groups help our patients stay on track and achieve optimal weight loss results. Our goal is to help you live healthier, lighter and longer!
