Obesity is an incredibly complex and multi-faceted disease driven by biology, environment, behavior, and culture. The historical approaches of "calories in, calories out" and "eat less, move more" are, at best, oversimplified and, at worst, completely inaccurate. Obesity is a chronic disease. Just like any other, it requires aggressive treatment, which can occur via any number of interventions, including but not limited to weight loss surgery. When seeing my patients, I strive to treat the whole person, understanding the complex and varying impact of biology, behavior, environment, and culture, which affect both weight and overall health. I enjoy helping patients navigate the life-changing decision to undergo bariatric surgery - from the time they first come to see us as a new patient to many years postoperatively, as we continue the rewarding work of keeping the weight off!
