Practice Description | The Banner University Center for Diabetes and Bariatrics offers expert care in the medical and surgical treatment of obesity for adult and adolescent patients in collaboration with the Endocrinology Department. The multidisciplinary team offers highly personalized service and state of the art care. The foundation of our program is built on providing both group and individualized patient education. Our team has experience with over 5000 bariatric surgical patients. We use a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique in over 99% of our procedures. Our expertise includes the following procedures: gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, adjustable gastric band and both revisions for weight regain and corrective surgery for chronic problems after previous bariatric surgery. Each patient receives evaluations by a registered dietician, surgeon and psychologist. In addition, Melissa Davis, DNP, a family nurse practitioner specializing in the medical and surgical care of patients with obesity with 15 years experience is available to assist our patients by providing critical support throughout the program. She also teaches in the preoperative and postoperative education courses. We provide medical weight loss therapy in the office if required by your insurance company or can work with your primary care physician to satisfy that requirement. We offer a full adolescent bariatric program for youths aged 15 – 19 and there is no upper age limit.
