We believe that all people are capable of change resulting in renewal of spirit, body, and mind. We believe that our team can provide you with the skills needed to achieve your goals. We believe that you deserve help in your struggle to lead a healthy, fulfilling, and long life. Begin your weight loss journey with the most experienced bariatric surgeon and staff in Idaho.

SUPPORT GROUPS
Each week, we offer professionally-directed pre-op support groups to help educate our patients prior to their surgery. These meetings are crucial in addressing any concerns and questions patients have before surgery. It is important to make sure each of our patients feel comfortable and confident before proceeding with their chosen bariatric surgery.
Post-Op Support groups are held every Wednesday at 5:30pm in the Northwest Bariatrics office. You may also sign up for remote access to the meetings.
