A Personal Approach: Getting to Know Dr. Fass

We’ve stressed over and over again the importance of a personal approach to weight loss surgery.  It’s something that is held in high esteem in Dr. Fass’s office.  A personal approach to weight loss surgery bonds the surgeon and his patients in a way that makes them more than just bodies on the table.  A personal approach to weight loss surgery encourages families and friends to be involved in the process of weight loss alongside the patients.  Need more reasons why we love the personal approach?  Read all about it here.

“Truly personalized weight loss surgery” is more than a slogan around here.  Take some time to get to know Dr. Fass, and you’ll see what we mean!

Dr. Fass’s Profile:

Dr. Steven Fass has been a weight loss surgeon since 2002.  In fact, he was the first doctor to ever perform weight loss surgery in Austin, Texas!  He studied at the University of Texas Austin, attended medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern, and did his residency at the University of Utah.  After residency, Dr. Fass did an advanced laparoscopic fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

But who is Dr. Fass when he’s not consulting with patients or performing surgery?  He is married with two boys in grade school.  Before kids, Dr. Fass participated in triathlons.  He continues to be an avid cyclist, in between a busy schedule and time with his family.

Weight loss surgery may seem like a highly specific passion, and that’s exactly what it is for Dr. Fass!  He loves the opportunity to get to know many different people and to watch their progress over the course of many months. Because of his personalized approach to weight loss surgery, Dr. Fass sees patients all the way from their first consultation to their follow up visits post surgery.  He even gets to know his patients’ families and friends along the way.  Knowing his patients in this way makes him their biggest cheerleader!
