Choose A Medical Weight Loss Center With A Superior Safety Track Record

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- All major surgical operations present both benefits and risks. The key to mitigating those risks is choosing a team of surgeons with a proven track record of safety. Dr. Feiz & Associates is a widely respected source for weight loss in Los Angeles, not just because of their success rate, but also because of their enduring commitment to the highest safety standards. Dr. Michael Feiz and his team have never had a mortality in all their years, and maintain a complication rate of 1%, significantly lower than the national rate of 3-4%. Again, there is no silver bullet. There is no single operation that carries no risks. But as with any comparison shopping, there are products and services that are more reliable than others. A little legwork helps identify the most credible options.

At Dr. Feiz & Associates, a big part of mitigating risks and complications is an open dialogue between doctors and patients. Right now people struggling with obesity are inundated by all manner of ads and advice peddling pills, diets, and miracle operations. The truth is, there are very effective surgical approaches, but they are not for everyone. When a patient consults with the team at Dr. Feiz & Associates, all possible approaches, including non-surgical methods, are jointly considered. Dr. Feiz has extensive experience performing gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass, and the Lap Band in Los Angeles, but he takes the time to discuss the benefits and potential drawbacks of each option with the patient before a final determination is made.

Another element of the comprehensive treatment plan offered at Dr. Feiz & Associates is post-operative follow-up. Patients can only succeed if they dedicate themselves to the kind of diet and overall lifestyle changes needed to capitalize on the results of surgery. This is a lifelong endeavor, and the medical professionals at Dr. Feiz & Associates believe strongly in making themselves available to the patient long after the operation is complete. For real partners in your weight loss journey, you could not do better than the experts at Dr. Feiz & Associates. These people are passionate about giving their patients a new lease on life, and that is evident from the very beginning of the process. They invite prospective patients to learn more by scheduling a FREE initial consultation or attending a FREE seminar.
