Our Comprehensive Michigan Bariatric Surgery Program

At Harper Bariatric Medicine Institute, our goal is to lead patients down the path to healthy, satisfying weight loss. To do this, we have assembled an expert team of bariatric surgeons, allied health professionals and clinical resource personnel and provided an exceptional environment in which they can attend to our patients’ complete needs.

We strive to fully inform our patients and make them as prepared for surgery as possible. All preliminary testing and consulting are performed in the most careful, convenient and timely manner possible. Our bariatric treatment is complemented by our specialty support services including surgical ICU, cardiology, laboratory, endocrinology, radiology, pulmonary, hypertension program and diabetes education services.

Our surgeons are leaders in bariatric surgery in Michigan and utilize the most advanced techniques available to produce minimal complications and excellent outcomes. Helping them is a dedicated team of registered nurses, advanced practice nurses and physician assistants. All patients are treated with a level of care, compassion and respect found nowhere else.

As important as the bariatric procedure is, it is only the beginning. We provide our postoperative patients with a network of support to ensure long-term weight loss success. Our patients receive help and advice from a wide range of knowledgeable specialists: nutritionists, exercise physiotherapists, clinical coordinators, nurses and physicians.

By providing sophisticated surgical treatment and the support to make genuine lifestyle changes, HarperBMI continues to make a significant difference in the fight against obesity.
