Venkata Kella Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Dr. Kella is the newest member of the bariatric team at NYU Winthrop Surgical Associates. Dr. Kella is a board-certified general surgeon with a specialization in minimally invasive/laparoscopic and robotic bariatric surgery. From a young age, Dr. Kella wanted to become a surgeon, inspired by his uncle and other family members who were doctors, but also because of the chance to use modern surgical technique to blend science and art to continually improve the lives of others. Dr. Kella passes on that knowledge to subsequent generations of surgeons as a clinical Assistant Professor at the NYU Department of Surgery. “Today, I continue to be amazed by the impact of quality medical care for patients with morbid obesity and associated co-morbid conditions. My path is one of continued learning, progress, and growth, and my philosophy includes individualized patient care, shared decision-making and thinking creatively—drawing on many experiences to come up with the best solution for each and every patient.” ~ Dr. Kella ObesityHelp Contributing Author Weight Regain With Symptoms of Hypoglycemia After WLS
