Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Clark "Dr. Clark has found a true passion in bariatric surgery. It was this passion that drove him to open his own practice devoted to helping people take control of their weight for a new beginning. "It is a wonderful feeling to be able to help someone who has chosen to take control of their weight and is motivated to change their life. Every single time I have a patient return after surgery and thank me for giving them their life back, I get to renew my love of bariatric surgery.""
