Take control of your life... let us help.

Chronic obesity and the health risks associated with it do not have to be a permanent fixture in your life.

Surgical weight loss can be an effective way to lose weight and manage or eliminate the diseases common to obesity such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Northwest Medical Center and Dr. Patrick Chiasson and Dr. Stephen Burpee have received the Bariatric Center of Excellence designation from the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). This designation is required for Medicare coverage of bariatric surgery.

Our comprehensive surgical weight loss program offers a variety of surgical options for the patient. Our surgeons have performed more than 780 minimally invasive weight loss surgeries.

Dr. Chiasson and Dr. Burpee are both general surgeons with fellowship training in advanced laparoscopic surgery. They offer and have extensive experience in three surgical weight loss options— gastric bypass, vertical sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric band. In fact, these surgeons have the most experience with laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy in the Southwest United States.
