Meet Dr. David Diaz, St.Vincent Bariatric Surgeon_Video

Dr. David Diaz is one of a number of surgeons who specialize in bariatric weight loss surgery here at the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence. And while he shares the same upstanding ethics and enthusiasm as our other surgeons, don’t forget to ask Dr. Diaz about what it’s like to train and compete in his first triathlon, or what he remembers from the time he spent in Spain as a child.

It’s easy to forget that surgeons are real people, real people who really care about making other people’s lives better through bariatric weight loss surgery. Whether it’s curing diabetes or high blood pressure or finally giving patients the chance to play their kids, Dr. Diaz insists that bariatric surgery is happy surgery.
