weight loss internal medicine doc

Does anyone know if there are weight loss internal medicine doctors in the Phoenix or surrounding areas?

Hi Moira, You might try Dr. Ruiz, (602)253-0855. He and his office staff are all really nice people. And he is a WLS supporter. Judy

OK, I don't know that much about the medical fields but are you looking for an Internal Medicine doctor that is familiar with weight loss, like an endocronologist or oncologist? I've seen a whole range of specialist, most in the Mesa area. If you would like to send me an email I'll help out as much as I can. Laura B

Thanks for the response. I am looking for a weight loss intensivist which is a doctor who treats obesity, not a weigt loss clinic or an endocrinologist. They are rare but they are becoming more popular as weight loss surgery is becoming more popular. I went to a Scottsdale meeting and they had a Dr like this but he was from out of town. Thanks

Dr. Brennan - 602224-9218 He is an MD that treats any illnesses or issues and specialies in bariatric patients. He is not a surgeon. Just an internal medicine doctor specializing in bariatrics. He is PRO weight loss surgery, and is VERY easy to talk to. His nurses are also very sweet and nice. I highly recommend him.
