Ramsey Dallal, MD has participated in and performed more than one thousand laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures while a fellow and an attending physician, and has managed many more. He maintains some of the lowest complication rates and some of the highest patient satisfaction rates in the country.
Dr. Dallal was born and raised in Virginia and attended medical school at the Medical College of Virginia. He first became involved with bariatric surgery under the instruction of Harvey Sugerman, MD, one of the academic pioneers in open bariatric surgery and past president of the American Society of Bariatric Surgery. He completed a surgical residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), which was one of the first programs in the country to perform the laparoscopic gastric bypass and the institution that has done more laparoscopic surgeries than almost anywhere in the world.
After residency, he dedicated a year of his life to train in the techniques of bariatric surgery with the laparoscopic surgical team as the Mark Ravitch/Leon C. Hirsch fellow, then joined UPMC as a clinical instructor, training surgeons how to perform the laparoscopic gastric bypass and the Lap-Band® procedure.
After spending several years in private practice in southern California performing bariatric surgery, he joined Albert Einstein Healthcare Network in 2005 as a member of the Department of Surgery and the Director of Einstein Bariatrics, Einstein’s interdisciplinary, minimally- invasive surgical weight loss program.
