Hitesh P. Amin, MD -- The Best Weight Loss Surgeon in Maryland

Meticulous, professional, and welcoming are how Transform Bariatrics clients describe our bariatric surgeon, Dr. Hitesh Amin. While he’s a master in the surgical suite and trained in the latest procedures, Dr. Amin’s ability to connect with patients is why he’s the best weight loss surgeon in Maryland.

In this month’s blog, we want to brag about our bariatric surgeon and explain why he’s featured as a Bariatric & Weight Loss Expert on the TOP Doctors Interviews and featured on major networks and news outlets like Oprah Winfrey Network, CNN Headline News, and Fox News.

Warm and welcoming

Obesity is a disease, but weight stigma is prevalent, even in medicine. Though getting better, healthcare professionals may view those who struggle with their weight as lazy, unmotivated, and noncompliant with treatment. This attitude causes shame and distrust, making those needing medical care avoid the doctor's office.

Dr. Amin understands the obstacles his patients face and warmly welcomes each patient seeking his help. He takes the time to get to know them and talk to them about their health and surgical options. 

And patient care isn't over after surgery. Dr. Amin continues to follow his patients, cheering them on as they reach each goal and significant milestone. 

Trained in latest procedures

Advancements in bariatric surgery improve patient safety and outcomes. Dr. Amin is dedicated to his craft and continuously updates his skills with the latest techniques.

He performs many weight loss surgeries including gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass (SADI), one of the most complex procedures. When possible, Dr. Amin uses robotic surgery techniques, operating through small incisions to minimize tissue damage and reduce post-surgical pain and recovery time.

Knowing the fears some have about weight loss surgery, Dr. Amin is also trained in nonsurgical procedures, including endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and gastric balloon.

No surgical procedure is like another, and Dr. Amin customizes plans using the methods and tools that ensure the best outcomes.

Amazing support team

Dr. Amin is the main attraction at Transform Bariatrics, but he can't do it alone. He has amazing support staff to assist patients on their journey, including a registered dietitian for nutrition counseling before and after surgery and help with medical weight loss. 

The team also includes a cosmetic surgeon who performs cosmetic surgery and liposuction to remove excess skin and stubborn fat after reaching weight goals.

We also want to mention our operations manager and care coordinator, who works closely with each patient throughout their weight loss journey, scheduling appointments, investigating insurance coverage, and creating affordable payment plans. 

It's not laziness or lack of willpower that keeps you from reaching a healthy weight, but a lack of options. We can help by offering affordable and low-cost surgery and treatments to help you achieve your health goals.
