Our Program

7,000 Patients And Counting

Since 1995, we’ve been the premier resource in helping reshape the lives of more than 7,000 weight loss surgery patients. As the most experienced treatment center in the state offering the latest surgical techniques available, the Center for Surgical Treatment of Obesity at St. Mark’s Hospital helps patients lose weight and keep it off. We work closely with our bariatric surgeons to provide  a life-changing program that goes far beyond surgery and includes nutritional guidance, support groups and access to counseling services.

Our experienced surgeons specialize in the surgical treatment of clinically obese patients. We’re dedicated to educating people about obesity, providing them with hope, help and options when it comes to their fight with obesity and its debilitating effects.

Our staff is devoted to making your weight loss surgery journey as pleasant and successful as possible.

• Our Registered Dietitians provide comprehensive nutritional counseling for all stages of your weight loss journey.
• Our knowledgeable experts will assist you with developing an exercise program.  They can help you to start exercising and utilize this important tool to reach and maintain your goal weight.
• Our Financial Counselors are well versed in the criteria most insurance companies require you to meet prior to approving your surgery and are happy to guide you through the approval process.

We believe the support you receive from your friends, your family, and your co-workers can be invaluable to your success; however, we also realize there are times you need to speak with someone who has “been there, done that” and we are happy to serve as that resource! We can keep you connected with other patients on the weight loss journey through our social media sites and our surgeons’ support groups.
