Bariatric Surgery at Pennsylvania Hospital

Pennsylvania Hospital offers severely obese patients a specialized program that caters to their specific needs. The goal of the program is to help patients lose weight through surgical treatment.

The Bariatric Surgery Program at Pennsylvania Hospital recognizes that clinically severe obesity is a chronic disease that requires the medical expertise of experienced clinicians who can provide long-term success for the patient. Our core team consists of surgeons, nutritionists, psychologists, and internists who provide each patient with expert care before and after weight loss surgery.
