Welcome Visitors!
Are you interested in scheduling a consultation with one of our bariatric surgeons? First, we ask that you complete an Information Session. To help us serve you quickly and efficiently, please don't use the "Request an Appointment" link on the right-hand side - that form goes to a different Hopkins office and will delay our response.
We have regularly-scheduled Information Sessions at Johns Hopkins Bayview and at the Wellness Center at Howard County General. If you're unable to attend an in-person Information Session, we also offer an online option. Both discuss the procedures that we offer, the risks and benefits of bariatric surgery, and insurance considerations. After you successfully complete your Information Session, we will collect your contact information and a member of our staff will contact you to schedule your appointment. To select an Information Session, click the "Information Sessions" link in our left-side menu. If you have any questions, please call our office at the number listed below.
