At Phoebe Bariatrics, surgery is just one step in your weight loss journey. Our mission is to ensure long-term success for every patient. We know that losing weight is a team effort, involving physicians, dietitians, physical therapists, nurses, and financial counselors.

Our comprehensive program guides you through every stage of bariatric surgery and aftercare, helping you reach your goals with the latest surgical techniques and personalized attention. Our caring and skilled team is here to design a program tailored to your needs, supporting you before, during, and after surgery.

We offer long-term follow-up care, including monthly support groups and one-on-one counseling with our nutritionists and psychologist. Our collaborative team meets regularly to discuss your progress, ensuring safe and healthy outcomes.
