Now Serving Solano County: Accredited Bariatric Care

Whole Health Weight Loss InstituteSeptember 4, 20266 min read

If you live in Solano County and you've been considering weight-loss surgery, here's something worth knowing: you don't have to travel to a big-city hospital to get exceptional, accredited care. Some of the most experienced bariatric surgery in the region is just a short drive away — and a great many of our patients already make that drive from right where you live.

Accredited, surgeon-led care close to home

Whole Health Weight Loss Institute is an accredited Bariatric Center of Excellence and a Blue Distinction Center for bariatric surgery — and we're the closest accredited center of its kind to Solano County. Those aren't just badges. Accreditation means a program has met rigorous national standards for safety, surgical volume, and patient outcomes. For you, it's a simple, powerful shortcut: it tells you that the care you're considering has been independently vetted to a high bar.

At the center of it all is Dr. Scott Perryman, MD, FACS, FASMBS, who has performed more than 1,000 bariatric procedures — many of them for patients who call Solano County home. In fact, the majority of our patients come from Solano and the surrounding North Bay. You'd be in very familiar company.

Serving patients across Solano County

Wherever you are in the county, we're closer than you might expect. We regularly care for patients from Fairfield, Vacaville, Vallejo, Benicia, Suisun City, Dixon, and Rio Vista — most of whom reach our Napa office in well under an hour. For a decision this important, a short, scenic drive is a small trade for surgeon-led care at an accredited center.

The procedures we offer

Whole Health offers the full range of modern weight-loss options, so the plan fits you — not the other way around:

Why an accredited Center of Excellence matters

When you're choosing where to have surgery, credentials aren't a marketing detail — they're a safety decision. An accredited program is held to national standards for how it screens patients, performs procedures, and supports recovery. Studies consistently associate accredited, higher-volume bariatric centers with strong safety records. Choosing one closer to home means you get that standard of care and the convenience of staying near your family, your work, and your support network throughout your journey.

Your whole-health journey, start to finish

What sets us apart isn't only the surgery — it's everything around it. Our whole-health approach supports the mind alongside the body: mindfulness tools, nutrition guidance, a patient community, and a team that stays with you long after your procedure. Lasting change is about more than a number on the scale, and we build our care around that truth.

Ready to take the first step?

If you're in Solano County and you've been waiting for the right time or the right place, this is both. Accredited, experienced, surgeon-led care is closer than you think — and the first step is simply a conversation.
