Leading Bariatric Surgeon in Jacksonville for Medical Weight Loss Services
Explore Non-Surgical Weight Loss Options in Jacksonville
Dr. Baptista is dedicated to providing a range of medical solutions tailored to treating obesity. For those struggling with morbid obesity and related health conditions, surgical options often present the most effective path to sustained weight loss. For patients who either do not qualify for surgery or prefer a less invasive method, we offer alternatives like the Gastric Balloon, alongside other comprehensive medical weight loss services.
Medical Weight Loss Program
Dr. Baptista believes in a holistic approach that prioritizes the patient's preferences when developing a personalized weight loss plan. Viewing each aspect of weight loss as a tool, we focus on selecting the most effective option to reach the desired outcome. With a range of choices, including medications, gastric balloons, and surgical procedures, patients can trust that they are receiving the optimal strategy to support their journey toward better health.
