What I Treat
Three branches. One philosophy.
My service lines aren't separate services — they're different branches of the same tree. Treat the root cause. Treat the whole person. When you're ready, every path here leads into my practice, Omnia Health, where care happens.
01 · Metabolic Health
Weight Loss & Bariatric Surgery
Obesity is a metabolic disease, not a willpower problem. Your hunger hormones, fat-storage signals and satiety response are physiologically altered in ways that make weight loss through diet alone extraordinarily difficult and often impossible. Using medications or surgery to reset the scale isn't cheating — it's the medically appropriate treatment for a chronic medical condition.
For some patients it's physician-supervised medication. For others it's surgery. For many it's going to be a combination. The difference is that I'm actually looking at you — your biology, your history, your goals — not fitting you into a template.
- Physician-led GLP-1 management (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide)
- Gastric Sleeve (VSG / Sleeve Gastrectomy)
- Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)
- Duodenal Switch & SADI — our most powerful option
- Revisional Bariatric Surgery — a specialty within a specialty
The Revisional Difference
Surgery stopped working? You are not a failure.
If your sleeve stretched, your bypass isn't performing the way it once did, or you're dealing with complications from a prior procedure — revisional bariatric surgery is one of the most important things I do, and not every surgeon is trained to do it well. Anatomy changes. Bodies adapt. Let's figure out your next move.
- Failed sleeve
- Bypass revision
- Second opinions
- Weight regain
Stop Managing. Start Fixing.
Years on Omeprazole?
Medications manage the symptom — they don't fix the problem. GERD is usually caused by a structural issue: a weakened valve, a hiatal hernia, something no pill was designed to repair. If you've been on reflux medication for more than a few months and you're still symptomatic, surgery may actually be the most conservative choice available.
- Chronic heartburn
- Regurgitation
- Hiatal hernia
- Trouble swallowing
02 · Digestive Health
Heartburn, GERD, Acid Reflux & Hiatal Hernia
For patients who are tired of a daily pill and recurring refills to manage the symptoms of a structural problem that medication will never fix.
Most people don't realize that acid-suppressant medications like Omeprazole don't actually cure acid reflux. The reflux is still occurring — it just doesn't burn you anymore. The most common cause is a hiatal hernia, when part of your stomach pushes up through the opening in your diaphragm. Many have lived with it for years because they were handed a prescription instead of a diagnosis. A proper evaluation is the only way to know what's actually going on, and that's where we always start before jumping to treatment — which may well be acid suppressants, but often can be completely cured with minimally invasive procedures, where most patients see dramatic improvement quickly and may never need medications again.
- Root-cause reflux evaluation
- Anti-reflux surgery (fundoplication)
- Hiatal hernia repair
03 · Circulatory Health
Vein & Venous Reflux Care
Aching, heavy, swollen legs with visible veins are not just "getting older." That's venous reflux — the valves in your veins aren't working properly, so blood pools instead of returning to your heart. It's a medical condition, not a cosmetic one, and it gets worse without treatment.
Left unaddressed, it can progress to skin changes, ulcers and clotting. The good news: it's very treatable with minimally invasive procedures, and most patients notice real relief quickly. My vein practice was born directly out of my bariatric work — weight increases pressure on the venous system and worsens the venous reflux. Venous disease in turn affects mobility, which feeds back into the weight, in a cycle most surgeons never address together. I do.
- Leg pain & swelling evaluation
- Venous reflux treatment
- Varicose vein ablation
- Spider vein removal
The Whole Picture
Leg pain is not a normal part of aging. It's a signal.
If your legs ache and swell in ways you've learned to live with, they may be quietly limiting your mobility, draining your energy, and even contributing to weight gain — which in turn worsens the venous disease. Everything is connected. I treat it that way.
