I have been performing bariatric surgery since 1999. I am very passionate about caring for morbidly obese patients because I recognize the amazing transformation that is possible in a patient's health and happiness. Our ability to help these patients experience such a tremendous turnaround in the quality of their life is unparalled in any other treatment I have witnessed in over 30 years of medicine ;I trained with Dr. George Cowan and Dr. Kelvin Higa in 1997-1998.
