About The Practice
Advanced Surgeons is a weight loss and bariatric surgery practice with offices in Valhalla, Carmel, and Poughkeepsie, New York. While losing weight on one’s own may seem simple, the expert bariatric specialists at Advanced Surgeons offer the extra help that many people find they need.
At Advanced Surgeons, patients can come in for non-surgical help for weight loss. After a thorough evaluation, a specialist offers personalized weight loss advice and support that may include nutrition services, support groups, hormone therapy, and lifestyle changes like increased physical activity.
When non-surgical measures aren’t quite enough to result in significant weight loss for morbidly obese patients, Advanced Surgeons provides the latest techniques in bariatric surgery. The providers perform surgeries such as gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, duodenal switch, and sleeve gastrectomy, and offer the support patients need to enjoy permanent health improvements.
For many people, losing weight isn’t just an aesthetic choice. Advanced Surgeons offer surgical and non-surgical weight loss support to treat or improve weight-related conditions like high cholesterol, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hypertension, and diabetes. They also offer general surgery for conditions like hernias.
When weight loss is complete, or for patients who don’t need to lose weight but want to contour their bodies, Advanced Surgeons offers SmartLipo®. It’s an advanced laser-supported form of liposuction (fat removal) with the added benefit of skin tightening for better muscle definition.
To schedule a weight loss consultation or discuss bariatric surgery with an expert, call Advanced Surgeons or schedule a visit online at the nearest office.
Although we participate with all of the plans listed, we must verify that you have bariatric and/or out-of-network benefits with your specific plan. Kindly call the office, should you have any questions.
