About

Dr. Joshua Roller, a Board Certified General Surgeon, practices in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and is the founder of Roller Weight Loss & Advanced Surgery. As a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon, he focuses on helping patients regain their health and life through weight loss surgery, including advanced laparoscopic techniques. Dr. Roller emphasizes that success extends beyond the number on the scale, encouraging patients to reflect on their progress. He views weight loss surgery as a powerful tool, not a shortcut, and believes it delivers more consistent, lasting results than medications alone for many.

What are the benefits of weight loss surgery beyond just the number on the scale?
Beyond the number on the scale, weight loss surgery can help patients regain their health and life, leading to improvements such as being able to cross legs, fit and ride roller coasters, play on the floor with kids/grandkids, fly without a seatbelt extender, and regain self-confidence. It can resolve joint pain, manage high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea, improve comfort with seatbelts, chairs, and towels, and increase participation in activities with family, friends, and for oneself. For many, it's about improving health, reducing effects of obesity-related conditions, and creating previously impossible opportunities.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$13,869

Payments

37

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Joshua Roller received $13,869 across 37 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Medtronic, Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
