Igal Breitman, MD FACS

Dr. Igal Breitman has been a general surgeon for 26 years. Prior to joining Cheyenne Regional as the Director of Bariatric Surgery, he was the Director of Minimally Invasive Surgery at the State University of New York in Brooklyn and the Director of Bariatric Surgery at the University of Illinois in Rockford.

He believes that patient care is a privilege. "Patients trust me with their lives and I never take that responsibility lightly. Everything I do as a physician is based on that foundation. Be the best you can, get to know your patient, use compassion, don't patronize, don't judge and communicate! My priority is always put the patient's best interest first."

He completed his Bariatric Surgery Fellowship in 2009 at Highland Hospital, University of Rochester Medical Center.
