The New York Bariatric Group is always working to improve the experience of our patients. Whether we’re offering new procedures, providing seminars, or adding the best surgeons to our team, it’s all for our patients.

We’d like to take a little time and introduce you to our newest surgeon, Dr. Pankti Patel!
Dr. Patel started her education in 2003 at the Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. Her four years there brought her great success: majoring in Biomedical Engineering, minoring in Chemistry, and graduating Magna cum laude. She acquired her Doctor of Medicine at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria and completed her general surgery residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

After completing her residency, Dr. Patel found her next opportunity on the eastern side of the States. She was a fellow at the Magee Women’s Hospital of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center with their Department of Surgery. During this fellowship she focused on minimally-invasive and bariatric surgery.  Her skills and education have prepared her for a career of success at the New York Bariatric Group.

Dr. Patel has received a wealth of Licenses, Certifications, Honors, and Awards.

Dr. Patel is American Board of Surgery certified as well with the daVinci System for Robotic Surgery. Additionally, she is an active member of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons.

Only the best and brightest surgeons join the New York Bariatric Group so our patients have the best care.

Dr. Patel is our newest member at NYBG but her talent with minimally invasive, robotic, and bariatric surgery has placed her with the rest of our experienced, intelligent surgeons.  She is very dedicated to bringing cutting edge technology and innovative surgical techniques to our bariatric patients.

Thomas' success story

I went in for surgery. An hour later, I came out a new man.

Everybody treated me like a king. The day of surgery, I was excited. The hospital couldn’t be any nicer. I went in for surgery. An hour later, I came out a new man. My recovery was awesome. I was out of bed that day. My wife and kids were my motivation on getting this surgery. They are my whole life. I’m happy I’m going to be around for them.

Nicole's success story

I hit my goal weight ... and I feel fabulous

I had the gastric bypass. I am Type 2 Diabetic and I wanted to gain control of my sugar. I hit my goal weight in about 5 and half months and I feel fabulous. The procedure has completely changed my life for the better because it has empowered me as a middle aged woman that I can really do everything and anything that I want to do. I don't put an age on anything. I don't say I'm too old for something.

Robert

Lost 76lbs

Robert's success story

I was tired of the way I looked. I was tired of the way I felt.

I knew if I didn't change something soon, I was going to be in a lot of trouble. The consultation process was a lot easier than I expected. I was met with open arms. I was treated like I was the only patient here. Not only did they answer all of my questions, they had questions for me to make sure I was the right candidate for the surgery. After surgery and that weight started dropping off, my life started changing for the better.

Samantha's success story

I feel like a completely different person.

I had the gastric sleeve procedure. The driving factor behind me getting this procedure was my health. I didn't feel good physically or mentally. I had joint pains, even standing was difficult sometimes. Emotionally, this surgery completely turned my life around. I have so much more confidence. So much more happiness. I feel like a completely different person. I feel stronger. I feel able to accomplish more.

Eileen's success story

It saved my life.

The driving factor behind me getting my procedure was that I couldn't get up off the floor with my granddaughter. That was my why. That was my big reason for having this surgery done. After surgery, it was a little bit of a struggle with what to eat. What you put in your mouth that you don't even think about. You don't think about what you're eating or how you're eating and portion size. It's what I do now every single day. The procedure has changed my life in so many ways. It saved my life.

Lost 126lbs

Brittany's success story

I am totally comfortable in my own skin.

I think I always grew up identifying myself as less than other people because I was fat. I decided to tackle that and just live my life. I had a sleeve gastrectomy. It changed how I view myself. How I communicate with people. I'm able to be much more of myself and live the life I always thought I should have been living. I am totally comfortable in my own skin. You have the tools you need to succeed here.
