Leading a Healthy Lifestyle

Dr. Smith's Commitment

As a Physician and Bariatric Surgeon with nearly 20 years of experience, I’ve witnessed countless trends in weight loss and health strategies. Yet, one principle has consistently stood the test of time: the critical importance of muscle mass retention. No matter how hard someone trains or challenges their muscles, without meeting their body’s protein demands, muscle breakdown becomes inevitable compromising long-term health and the ability to achieve sustainable fat loss.

Dr. Eric Smith, a distinguished leader in General and Bariatric Surgery, is board-certified and a fellow with the American Society of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery (ASMBS). He holds certifications as a Center of Excellence Bariatric Surgeon and Robotic Surgeon, recognized as a Master Surgeon in Robotic Surgery by the SRC. Dr. Smith's program is MBSAQIP certified, reflecting his commitment to excellence.

Dr. Smith is among the busiest bariatric surgeons in the country, performing high volumes of procedures and pioneering innovative surgical practices. His dedication to advancing health and wellness drives his commitment to excellence in patient care.
