Nirav Naik Bariatric Surgeon M.D. F.A.C.S.

Dr. Nirav Naik founded New Life Weight Loss Solutions in 2014 to raise the level of bariatric care in Kern County. Not only has he succeeded in doing so, but he is also championing for awareness in our community. “Obesity is a rapidly growing problem in Kern County, the United States, and all over the world,” Dr. Naik began. “At one point, weight loss surgery seemed extreme, but now it is accepted as useful treatment that is part of a lifestyle change that will help to combat obesity. Combined with a better diet and exercise, patients can improve and maintain their health.” However, the health benefits do not end with just weight loss. “Diseases like hypertension, sleep apnea, and diabetes have also been increasing at astronomical rates,” he continued. “Weight loss has proven effective in reversing these conditions.” If surgery still seems daunting, there is no need to worry. Not only does Dr. Naik have 20 years of experience in weight loss surgery, providing safe and effective procedures, New Life Weight Loss Solutions also has nonsurgical options. Additionally, their dedicated and highly skilled team provides support and guidance to patients well after their procedures to ensure long-lasting success. From their dietician to the support groups they offer, they work hard to produce optimal care. Dr. Naik has a reputation for being innovative in his field, and is very passionate about bringing that innovation to Bakersfield while helping to create healthier, happier lives. If you’re ready to live the best life possible, look to New Life Weight Loss Solutions. ObesityHelp Contributing Author Blood Clots After WLS: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
