Certified Bariatricians

Bariatricians are licensed physicians who have sub specialized in weight loss. They help patients lose weight in non- surgical ways. A board-certified bariatrician means that physician has had extra training and testing through the American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP) and the American Board of Bariatric Medicine (ABBM). ASBP-trained and board certified bariatricians address the obese or overweight patient with a comprehensive program of nutrition, exercise, lifestyle modifications and potentially the prescription of appropriate medications if the patient has met all the strict guidelines set forth by the ASBP. They teach behavioral, psychological and nutritional ways to reach goals. They help the post-surgical patient learn how to maintain the weight loss or help them to lose any weight regained.
