Fellowship Trained Bariatric Surgeon

Dr. Ravindra Mailapur

More than 6,000 patients have trusted Dr. Mailapur with one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

For most of them, it wasn't the first time they'd asked for help. They'd tried diets, programs, medications — and more than a few had been told by other doctors to simply try harder. Dr. Mailapur takes a different approach. He listens. He explains. And he gives patients a clear, honest answer about whether surgery is right for them — without pressure, and without judgment.

930+ five-star Google reviews. No surgeon in the country comes close.
