Care
Committing to weight-loss surgery is a big step, but our dedicated team is here to support and encourage you. We share in the excitement of your success! Here’s what we offer:
- Once you attend our free bariatric seminar and decide to move forward, we can set up a free consultation. We can also verify insurance coverage and give you all the information you need before your appointment with Dr. Patel.
- Our bariatric nurse coordinator guides you through the process, including scheduling appointments with other providers.
- We keep your primary care doctor and specialists up-to-date on your progress so we can all work together to provide you with the best care. Bariatric surgery is about more than just losing weight. This life-changing choice can also free you from health issues associated with obesity, like high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea.
- We’re all on the same team. That means a supportive environment before, during and after your surgery. Bravera Health Seven Rivers offers pre-surgery education classes for patients and their families. We help you stay focused on the path to a new life, focusing on physical, mental and emotional well-being.
- We’re devoted to our patients and invested in their futures. We strive to give medical guidance and compassionate emotional support from pre-surgery to long after the procedure. Weight loss surgery is a lifelong commitment, and you can find peace of mind knowing that follow-up care is here for you.
This is a chance for a fresh start, renewed confidence and hope for a healthier life.
