medicine. Our team works together to assess the
unique health care needs of each patient and
strives to personalize patient care and education.

performed in the Minimally
Invasive Surgical Program at Penn Presbyterian.
Both laproscopic and open gastric bypass are
consistently proven to be effective for long-term
weight loss and improvements in obesity-related
diseases.
