Richard Novack, Jr. Bariatric Surgeon M.D. FACS

"I was always intrigued by technical, complex moving parts working together towards one goal like an automobile engine. The human body is not that different in many respects. It has many complex moving parts and systems working towards a common goal. That’s why I love the challenge of surgery. “In laparoscopic and bariatric surgery, we change peoples lives in an instant. Patients can have a second chance at a healthy, active, potentially medication-free life again. We do complex abdominal surgery, yet our patients experience very little pain and are up walking quickly and can go home the next day. ”I enjoy the patients the most. I am so grateful for the trust they instill in me as their surgeon and thrilled as they progress after surgery. A patient’s smile can easily brighten my day.”
