Why I Perform LAP-BAND® Surgery?
"During my many years in practice, I noticed the association of obesity and other medical conditions. I also recognized the struggle that most overweight people endure to lose weight and to maintain their weight loss. I am focusing all of my interest in finding a safe and effective solution to the ever-growing problem of obesity. The LAP-BAND is the most gentle, safe weight loss surgery and is highly effective." Patients recognize and appreciate Dr. Felts for his passion in treating obesity and enjoy the individual care he gives them.
