Dr. Ahmed's bio
Care Philosophy
Taking care of patients who are struggling with obesity and medical co-morbidities that could be alleviated by weight loss surgery has become my passion. I understand the disease process unlike any other bariatric surgeon, due to my experience as an internist and surgeon.
In my mind, the most prized possession a person has is their health. If you decide to have bariatric surgery, there is no better place to come than to Southern Nevada Bariatrics. I understand what you are going through and the frustrations you have had struggling with weight loss. Bariatric surgery is a tool that will help you loose the weight and gain your life and happiness back.
Hope to see you soon.
