Welcome to the home of Obesity Surgery at The New York Hospital Queens!

Bariatric care at The New York Hospital Queens is provided by an experienced, multidisciplinary team under the direction of Dr. Stephen Merola. The team's use of detailed pre-operative evaluation, state-of-the-art surgical methods and careful post-operative management has yielded superb results and an extraordinary record of success and safety.

A number of surgical procedures have been used to encourage weight loss in patients who have failed to lose weight employing more traditional methods. Surgery is always a serious step that requires careful planning and execution.
