in 1997. He did his surgical residency at SUNY Health Science Center of Brooklyn and was Chief Resident in 2001 - 2002. He chose his fellowship in Laparoscopic Surgery; also at SUNY because his interest was in minimally invasive surgical procedures. During his fellowship, Dr. Patel worked with the world re-knowned Dr. George Ferzli, who is an expert in the surgical treatment of morbid obesity and Lap-Band placement. Professional Organizations: He is a member of SAGES, American Society of Bariatric Surgery, American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical Society.

Special Interests: Include adapting the newest techniques in minimally invasive surgery to treat morbid obesity and the non-surgical treatment of obesity. If you ask him, he would say "America needs to focus on getting healthy. Obesity is at an all-time high and now is when we have to act. Most people can't lose weight on their own despite their attempts. With the Lap-Band Adjustable Gastric Band System, people have a fighting chance to get healthy by shedding excess weight and keeping it off. The public needs to know that there is help out there for them. With a simple one hour procedure, the Lap-Band can change their life, for the better". Insurance companies do approve this procedure, but each patient is responsible for verifying their individual insurance benefits to make certain that their inusrance company will cover the Lap-Band, Dr. Samir M. Patel and AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center. Act now - it's not too late. There's help out there. If you need help, call us today.
