Las Vegas Bariatric Physicians is a ONE OF A KIND weight loss practice operated by two Board Certified physicians who are committed to offering the Las Vegas community weight loss options and management for better health. A bariatrician is a licensed physician who has received special training in bariatric medicine, the medical treatment of the overweight and obese. Las Vegas Bariatric Physicians offers a non-surgical approach to managing weight loss and obesity through a comprehensive program which includes nutrition, exercise, behavior modification, and prescription appetite suppressants. Both physicians, Dr. Dana Trippi and Dr. Dominic Ricciardi have a combined 20 years of medical experience.

It is the belief of Las Vegas Bariatric Physicians that as physicians practicing the specialized medical management of weight loss and obesity that we should provide individualized treatment for each patient. In our practice, patients will get a complete set of labs and an EKG as part of a pre-certification exam. Patients receive a manual, vitamins, sample products as well as a one hour lecture given by a physician. The patient will meet one-on-one with the physician for a full physical exam, scale weight, bio-impedance body fat analysis, BMI, Vitamin B12, review of medical history and discussion of proposed individualized treatment plan. At each follow up visit, the patient is seen, and re-evaluated by a physician to monitor progress. Las Vegas Bariatric Physicians also offers Korr Metabolic Testing as a diagnostic tool for managing weight loss and monitoring maintenance.

These Top Weight Loss Doctors are network members of Las Vegas Athletic Club, members of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians and members of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce.

The key to successful weight loss is a close relationship between doctor and patient. Here at Las Vegas Bariatric Physicians we pride ourselves in our service to our patients by attention to detail and personal, individualized programs that equip our patients for healthy and successful weight loss for life!
