Our team offers state-of-the-art bariatric surgical care to people facing morbid obesity and its complications. While our surgeons primarily offer laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, they're happy to discuss other weight loss options as well, including duodenal switch, gastric band intragastric balloon, mini gastric bypass, and other new procedures as they become available.
We also perform general laparoscopic procedures, including gallbladder, hernia, colon, and breast surgeries.
A physician is always available on call. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or go directly to the nearest emergency department. To reach the on-call physician, please call (208) 381-3915.
