He specializes in bariatric and general surgery, offering both surgical and non-surgical weight loss procedures, including gastric sleeve surgery and gastric balloon insertion and removal.

Initial consultations are designed to allow ample time to listen to patients and openly discuss their weight as an important health issue.

These groups serve as a safe space for pre- and post-operative patients to share experiences, gain knowledge, and connect, with studies showing they contribute to greater long-term weight loss. Patients also receive one-on-one nutritional counseling from Jenny Arussi, who provides guidance on eating patterns, protein supplements, and ensures continued nutritional health after surgery. Patients stay their first night at an Aftercare Facility, and life transformation through bariatric surgery can take less than a year.
