Advance Bariatric Center is a surgical weight loss practice in Wilmington led by Joseph Naim, MD, FACS. The center focuses on bariatric care, including LAP-BAND® and gastric bypass procedures, with an emphasis on durable outcomes and long-term change after surgery rather than short-term intervention alone. Its approach reflects subspecialty fellowship training in weight loss surgery, academic surgical teaching experience, and extensive operative background, with more than 3,000 weight loss surgery procedures performed. Body contouring is also included within the practice’s broader treatment scope.
