Weight is a very emotional issue and I like to think of my office as a “no blame, no shame zone.” My goal is to listen and understand my patient’s struggles and work together to develop a plan to address them.

I have struggled with weight myself for most of my adult life, and have a close family member that had bariatric surgery.
