Bariatric surgery and GERD care near Denver

We offer a full range of treatments to address both weight-related health concerns and reflux conditions—helping you improve your quality of life.

Services We Offer

  • Bariatric surgery – Surgical options such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy designed to support significant, long-term weight loss and improve obesity-related conditions.
  • Reflux surgery (GERD treatment) – Advanced anti-reflux procedures for patients with chronic acid reflux who need more than medication for symptom relief.
  • Hiatal hernia repair – Surgical treatment to correct hernias contributing to GERD, improving digestion and reducing discomfort.
  • Minimally invasive foregut surgery – Specialized procedures targeting esophageal and upper digestive conditions using precise, less invasive techniques.
  • Comprehensive reflux evaluation – Diagnostic testing and expert evaluation to determine the underlying cause of reflux symptoms and guide treatment.
  • Medical weight loss – A nonsurgical weight loss approach combining FDA-approved weight loss medications, lifestyle changes, dietary guidance, exercise, and educational resources to achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life.

Your BMI (body mass index) helps our teams understand how weight may affect your health. Use a BMI calculator to see where you fall and start a conversation about your weight‑loss options.
