With that in mind, our services cater to those seeking a healthy transformation who may not have health insurance or may have insurance coverage but don't qualify due to BMI restrictions or insurance policy exclusion for bariatric surgery.

Customized Treatment Tailored for You

“I have struggled with obesity my entire life, and when I had my son, my weight afterwards soared. I was in so much pain from the birth and carrying the excess weight that I could not work out and dieting was not helping. Due to the fact I had over 100 lbs to lose, I looked into having bariatric surgery and found Dr. Lutfi. His care and the amazing staff made my decision easy. I am now almost 100 lbs down and a fit, active mom with energy to spare! Thank you Dr. Lutfi!”
