Why I Perform LAP-BAND® Surgery?
"As a physician, I want to help people improve their health and prevent disease. Obesity is a chronic disease that leads to or aggravates many other conditions and diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, even osteoarthritis. I am so impressed with the LAP-BAND® results and its impact on my patients’ health, that I have focused my practice primarily to it."
