Bariatric Surgery in Santa Rosa, CA

Bariatric care for Santa Rosa residents

Santa Rosa has real medical depth, so the question here is rarely whether care exists — it is whether the care is bariatric-specific. Weight-loss surgery lives or dies on the year around the operation: the nutrition sequence, the lab work, the honest conversations at month four when the scale slows. Dr. Scott Perryman built this practice around that year, and he is the person you see at each step rather than whoever is on the schedule.

The drive east on Highway 12 puts Santa Rosa patients in an accredited bariatric program without crossing a bridge or entering San Francisco traffic. Most people make the trip a handful of times before surgery, then settle into a follow-up rhythm that fits around work. We cluster pre-op testing so a single day covers several appointments where possible.

Because Santa Rosa patients often arrive with a long history — commercial programs, GLP-1 prescriptions started and stopped, sometimes a band placed years ago — the first visit is diagnostic rather than promotional. Dr. Perryman will tell you if sleeve gastrectomy is the straightforward answer, if gastric bypass fits your reflux or diabetes history better, or if medical management should come first.
