 Hi, I'm Dr. Carl Stroum, Medical Director of the Bariatric Program at Bayshore Medical Center. Our team of weight loss experts are committed to providing you with a customized plan designed to support your personal, long-term weight loss goals. We recognize that losing weight is both physically and mentally challenging. You may be struggling to reach a healthy weight through diet and exercise and the onset of health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, joint pain, sleep apnea, and infertility can make it more difficult to lose weight. Some patients find that their weight has caused them to miss out on life. Our goal is not to provide you with a quick fix, but rather provide you the tools necessary to empower you to change your lifestyle. We are committed to helping you to become the healthiest version of yourself and we look forward to working with you on your weight loss journey.
