Rebecca is the practice manager while Judy and Marilyn will look after you when you come to our rooms.

We are willing to involve your general practitioner in managing your medical problems during your weight loss period and have an additional number of specialists that work with our practice in order to provide safe surgery and good outcome.

Some of our older patients are interested in providing support to the ones in need while the waiting room is a great opportunity for you to meet with other patients as most of the patients attending the rooms have had gastric banding surgery.
