Physician Assistants
The certified physician assistants directly work with the Center's physicians to offer the highest level of support and care to bariatric surgery patients.
Dietary Support
Dietary support for bariatric surgery patients is provided by a certified dietitian. The Center's dietitian assists patients with their lifestyle changes before and after surgery. This additional support helps patients achieve more successful long-term weight loss.
Psychological Assistance
Bariatric surgery is a life-altering experience that can be difficult not only physically, but emotionally, as well. Two independent psychologists provide psychological services to patients of the West Penn Bariatric Surgery Center.
