Welcome.

Our emphasis has changed as we are now training other surgeons and facilitating the establishment of new bariatric surgical centers throughout the world. We no longer perform surgery through our Center.

We know that bariatric surgery for obesity is a personal decision. With more general surgeons performing bariatric surgery every day, it is important that you choose a surgeon and a center who are right for you. We want our patients to educate themselves. Browse our Web site, learn about our program, and contact us for more information. We welcome you so you may find out more about Dr. Samuels and the Center for Severe Obesity. We understand your concerns. We will help you make an informed decision.

The Center for Severe Obesity has offered a comprehensive obesity surgery program including monthly individualized dietary and psychological follow-up as well as long-term follow-up since its establishment in 1985. Dr. Norman Samuels has performed obesity surgery since 1984. 

For many years there was no other bariatric surgical practice in South Florida offering the surgical experience, specialized training, individualized treatment, and comprehensive support that we have provided to our patients.

If you are a potential patient who needs bariatric surgical services we will be happy to advise you regarding choice of a surgeon and operation, or if you are a surgeon seeking training in this challenging but satisfying field, or you represent a hospital wishing to start an obesity surgery program, contact us for a free initial discussion.
