Care is provided by Mount Sinai physicians and affiliated specialists drawn from across the health system’s clinical teams, bringing bariatric surgery and medical weight management into close alignment. That integrated model supports continuity across the full course of treatment, from initial assessment and referrals to perioperative planning and longer-term outpatient follow-up. Instead of separating surgery from broader weight management, the program keeps both within one connected framework.

Individualized treatment planning is central to the program’s philosophy. Patients are guided through decision-making with an emphasis on education as well as clinical management, reflecting an understanding that durable weight loss often depends on informed choices and sustained support. Communications and resources, including Bariatric Beat, extend that commitment beyond appointments, helping patients stay engaged through preparation, recovery, and continued management.

Being embedded within the Mount Sinai hospital network also gives the program a wider clinical reach. Specialty providers can participate in coordinated care, making it possible to move between treatment pathways and levels of support without leaving the larger institutional system. The overall model is comprehensive and deliberately connected: surgical options, medical management, education, and follow-up are treated not as separate services, but as parts of a single, personalized weight-loss strategy.
