Advanced Bariatric Center of Fresno, California

At the Advanced Bariatric Center, we have treated over 4000 patients suffering of overweight and obesity with a comprehensive and individually tailored plan including medical treatment, nutritional guidance, fitness training, psychologic counseling and for patients who meet the candidacy requirements, laparoscopic obesity surgery. Our center began in 1999 by Dr. Felix and Dr. Swartz joined the center in 2002. As of today we are proud to offer the latest and most up-to-date surgical and nonsurgical treatments of excessive weight.

For the first 8 years we focused on bariatric surgery where we have achieved permanent and significant weight loss with improvement and often cure of the many obesity-related medical diseases. In 2007, we broadened our services to begin nonsurgical treatment of weight management utilizing the same multidisciplinary team including our physicians, registered dietician, certified fitness trainer and clinical psychologist.

We offer lifelong care realizing the overweight and obesity are chronic conditions. Our comprehensive medical weight loss program involves an intensive six-program with a thorough evaluative process, meticulous planning and close monitoring by our multidisciplinary team. For patients who meet the criteria for and desire laparoscopic bariatric surgery, we will offer a choice of several safe and effective surgical procedures as well.
