Weight Management & Bariatric Surgery
The Weight Management & Bariatric Surgery Section offers medically-supervised avenues for patients to pursue weight loss in the most safe and effective manner. Our patients and their referring providers rely on the combination of healthcare expertise and kindness we provide to support individuals in accomplishing and successfully sustaining their weight loss goals. When substantial weight loss is desired, we offer minimally invasive bariatric surgery options, held to the high standards of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). Our specialists staff Scripps Clinic’s bariatric surgery and weight loss centers, which are among the best in San Diego county. We take a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to patient health and weight loss that includes medical and surgical services, nutrition, behavioral and lifestyle support, and an approach carefully tailored to the needs of each patient.
