Surgical Weight Loss
Weight Loss Surgery Services & Support
In collaboration with our colleagues at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, we are pleased to bring Surgical Weight Loss services to Lahey Outpatient Center, Danvers. While the actual surgery will be performed in Burlington, patients will now have the convenience of receiving preoperative and postoperative care close to home.
Comprehensive Weight Loss Surgery Program
Lahey Outpatient Center, Danvers Surgical Weight Loss offers a multidisciplinary team approach for treating obesity through a combination of surgery, behavioral health, and nutrition. This multidisciplinary approach is the key to successful long-term weight loss and well-being for your patient.
