Bariatric Surgery in San Rafael, CA

Bariatric care for San Rafael residents

San Rafael patients almost always arrive having compared us against a San Francisco center. We encourage that comparison, and we point them at the same two questions we would ask: is the program accredited, and will the surgeon in the consultation room be the one holding the instruments? Accreditation reflects reviewed outcomes and surgical volume; continuity is what makes the follow-up year work.

Our answer to both is the reason the drive makes sense. Dr. Scott Perryman has performed more than 1,000 bariatric procedures and personally carries each case from evaluation through the operating room and into follow-up. The team around him — nutrition, insurance, coordination — is small enough that a phone call from San Rafael reaches someone who already knows your chart.

Procedurally, nothing is missing here. Sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass make up most of what we do, with robotic assistance where anatomy or a previous operation demands precision, the gastric balloon for patients who want a non-surgical reset, and GLP-1 medications managed by a physician rather than dispensed by a portal.
