Suffolk Surgical Group P.C. Unparalleled Care Promoting Life-Long Changes

Welcome to Suffolk Surgical Group P.C. where we specialize in creating dramatic, life-long transformations for patients who suffer from morbid obesity.

We understand that dramatic weight loss necessitates dramatic lifestyle changes, and that this can be a very intense, confusing, and frightening period in our patients’ lives. For this reason, we have implemented a month-long pre- and post-operative program to help our patients through their transformations. During this program, patients are counseled by our psychiatric nurse practitioner, who helps them through this highly emotional time in their lives. We also require that our patients undergo nutritional and exercise education so that they have the tools necessary to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Finally, our patients are encouraged to join the bariatric surgery support group we have founded. This is the perfect environment for patients to learn from each other and to support each other as they embark together on a journey to a healthy new life.


At Suffolk Surgical Group P.C. it is our goal to provide unparalleled care to our patients, from personalized medical attention, to thorough patient education, to a lifetime of support and encouragement.
