Welcome to Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery at the University Doctors. We realize that the decision to have weight loss surgery is often the most important choice in a person’s life. Accordingly, it is

We offer laparoscopic gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding, and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at two Southern New Jersey Locations: Kennedy University Hospital's ACS BSCN accredited facility and Our Lady of Lourdes in Camden.
