Obesity Treatment

Welcome to the Obesity Consult Center.

We are a national 'Center of Excellence' as designated by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS). This is their highest level of accreditation.

 

• One of the largest surgical programs in New England
• More than 1,700 gastric by-pass surgeries
• Almost all of our operations (95%) are done laparoscopically -- no large scars, a faster, safer recovery and less chance of infection
• A full support team including behavior therapists, nutritionists, physicians, exercise physiologists and nurses exclusively dedicated to nutritional and obesity-related issues
• See data about our low risk rate

Founded in 1985, our clinic has achieved stunning results, having treated several thousand patients. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we bring together talented clinicians in nutrition, medicine, behavioral psychology, physical activity and surgery to help produce medically significant weight loss. We evaluate each individual's needs to create specific treatment options for them in our program.

Join the Obesity Consult Center Team as we congratulate Scott Shikora, MD, FACS, Director of the Obesity Consult Center, as having been named President of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery at the society’s 25th annual meeting!!
