Richard Fermelia Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

We think it’s really important that physicians have a mixture of clinical skill and human qualities – this means you can place your trust in them. When looking for a surgeon, people want to know that their surgeon is smart and excellent in the operating room.  But more importantly, they want to know how much their surgeon cares.   You will meet directly with Dr. Fermelia in person.  Just spending a few minutes with him you will understand how much he cares, that he will do everything he can to make sure you have a good surgical experience and the best surgical results possible.  Caring means he and Heartland Surgical will do our best to make sure your experience is as smooth as we can make it.  Caring means that we want you to feel confident with your care, listened to, and that we are available.
