About Dr. Alfons PompDr. Pomp received his BS with honors from McGill University and then attended the University of Sherbrooke Medical School. Following his surgical training at the University of Montreal he completed a two-year fellowship in Surgical Nutrition and Metabolism at the Brown University School of Medicine in Rhode Island. In 1988 he joined the faculty of the University of Montreal and was also appointed as an adjunct professor of surgery at McGill University. During the early 1990's he established a national reputation in advanced laparoscopic techniques and was a co-author on important contributions to the surgical literature on hernia repair, splenectomies, adrenalectomies and surgical robotics. This led to his being recruited to New York where at the Mount Sinai Medical Center he joined with Dr Gagner and others to establish a world renowned expertise in minimally invasive surgery and laparoscopic weight loss surgery.
In 2003 he moved to the Weill Cornell Medical College and in 2005 he was appointed as a Frank Glenn Faculty Scholar in Surgery. His primary clinical expertise is advanced operative laparoscopy (solid organ and hernia) and the Weill Cornell Weight Loss Surgery Program. He and Dr Gagner are co-investigators in a recently awarded multi-million dollar NIH/NIDDK research grant as one of only 6 clinical centers in the United States that are part of the Bariatric Surgery Clinical Research Consortium.
