Congratulations on taking an important step forward in improving your overall health by requesting a consultation with us! We’re here to help you navigate your weight loss journey.
How Can I Start the Process?
After you complete the consultation request form, our bariatric program director will reach out to you within 10 days to provide options for care and counseling based on the information you’ve requested. This connection may take place via email, phone, or a face-to-face or virtual dialogue based on your comfort level.
Our first priority is to understand your unique goals for weight loss and better health. Out of this dialogue, we can work together to find the best solution for you. We’ll also verify your benefits in detail so you know where you stand financially.
The relationship you form with your bariatric care team will be a long-term one, so we want you to feel comfortable that you have the information and support you need to make the best decisions for you.
