Information

Dr. Patrick Chiasson, M.D.

Bariatric Surgeon

Dr. Chiasson is recognized in the Tuscon, AZ community for his Bariatric Surgery practice. He performs all of the established primary weight loss surgical procedures including: Endoscopic Oberra Intra-Gastric Balloon, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, and the Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch with Sleeve procedure. In addition, he has a special interest in Revision Bariatric Surgery. He performs Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Revision Bariatric Surgery procedures for both inadequate weight loss and weight regain after primary weight loss surgery. Finally, he offers Bariatric Surgery consultations and surgical management for patients with Bariatric Surgery complications. He is a Bariatric Surgery educational consultant for Ethicon Endo-surgery and is a past president of the AZ chapter of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

Dr. Chiasson strongly believes that Bariatric Surgery will continue to evolve with the development of new techniques and new technology with the goal of greatly reducing or eliminating the trauma related to surgery. Moreover, as we expand our mission to treat more than obesity and become the primary treatment option for obese patients with Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, NASH syndrome, severe Osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer, it is his hope that patients come away from their surgical experience feeling that they have received “cutting edge” surgical care within the context of a compassionate, patient focused surgical practice.
