Since launching the first private practice bariatric program in 1999, Dr. Patching has performed many bariatric surgeries and specializes in the gastric sleeve and gastric bypass operations, using the most advanced minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Patching earned his medical degree at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, and finished his general surgery residency at the UC Davis Medical Center.
