Expert Medical and Surgical Treatment for Weight Loss

At the USC Obesity Center, our mission is to improve the health and quality of life of individuals affected by obesity and obesity-related medical disorders. Our experts specialize in state-of-the-art treatments for weight loss, delivering innovative, compassionate care individualized to each patient.

Our weight loss physicians are leaders in the field and work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team of specialists. Together, we ensure that each patient’s treatment plan for weight loss and metabolic health is customized for optimal outcomes and long-term success. This is why other physicians regularly refer their patients to our experts.

The bariatric surgeons and endobariatric specialists at the USC Obesity Center work closely with cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, pulmonologists, orthopedic surgeons, nephrologists and transplant specialists, as well as with dieticians and internal medicine and family medicine practitioners.

Our experts deliver a comprehensive range of treatments for obesity-related and metabolic conditions, including bariatric surgery, minimally invasive treatments for weight management and optimization of metabolic health.

The supportive and empathetic environment we provide ensures patients feel heard, respected and in control of their care decisions — an approach proven to yield successful outcomes.
