Welcome to the Center for Weight Loss Surgery

Conveniently located in the western suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, the Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Newton-Wellesley Hospital has been a leader in the field of bariatric surgery since 2005. We understand the weight loss challenges you may be facing. And we are here to help you every step of the way.

Our caring and experienced bariatric surgeons perform hundreds of procedures each year. They have a 95 percent success rate, which is defined as having a person lose 65 percent of his or her excess weight and maintain that weight loss.

At the Center for Weight Loss Surgery, we emphasize that bariatric surgery is not a cure for obesity. However, we do believe that it is an effective way to reduce excess weight and control the serious conditions that result from obesity.

We work closely with our patients, who come to us from Greater Boston and all of New England, to find out what surgical approach will work best for their health and what to consider when choosing to have bariatric surgery.
