Bariatrics New Patient Office Visit

A bariatric specialist office visit for a new patient is a first-time visit with a doctor specializing in bariatrics, a branch of medicine focusing on the prevention and treatment of obesity. Bariatric surgeries include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and other weight-loss procedures. A new patient office visit is needed if you have never seen this doctor and would be new to the practice, or it has been over 3 years since you last saw this doctor.
