Surgical Group of North Texas Announces the Creation of FortisBMI a Complete Medical and Surgical Weight Loss Solution
GRAPEVINE, Texas (PRWEB) December 18, 2018 -- Surgical Group of North Texas is excited to launch FortisBMI. Drs. Matin, Rivera and Alibhai have been leaders in Dallas Fort Worth in surgical weight loss for years, helping morbidly obese patients gain their lives back. Some patients aren’t overweight enough to quality for bariatric surgery but still need help. These surgeons are passionate about helping patients maintain a healthy weight, even if they are not eligible for surgery. They felt that they could help patients avoid surgery if they could intervene earlier. Hence, the creation of FortisBMI.
FortisBMI is a one-stop-shop for anyone concerned about their weight. It’s unique in that every patient will be seen by a board-certified physician. FortisBMI Physicians utilize evidence-based weight loss methods and years of experience to help patients get their lives back. Patients will begin with a comprehensive assessment by a physician including a full body composition analysis. Each patient will have a customized plan to fit their needs. This may include FDA-approved anti-obesity medications, customized meal plans, meal replacements, nutrition supplements, and an exercise program.
Fortis Bariatric surgeons, Sina Matin MD, Julio Rivera MD, and Mustafa Alibhai MD, will care for patients throughout the program. And, Shahid Shafi MD will work with patients on the non-surgical side of weight loss. The team is growing to meet the needs of these patients with several new staff members including a Registered Nurse, Bariatric Coordinator, Patient Navigator, Clinical Reviewer, and Registered Dieticians.
Dr. Sina Matin, President of Surgical Group of North Texas, said, "This is a great opportunity for patients to benefit from our expertise in all aspects of weight loss, commitment to high quality patient care, and exceptional treatment wherever they are in the weight loss journey. We are not only expanding the team, we are adding to our family to better serve our patients. This is a huge step forward for bariatric care in the Dallas Fort Worth area.”
