If obesity is harming your health and quality of life, bariatric surgery at Henry Ford Hospital may help you get your life back on track. Dr. Jeffrey Genaw and Dr. Arthur Carlin are board-certified surgeons that specialize in weight loss surgery. Drs. Genaw and Carlin have performed more than 1,000 bariatric surgeries. Over 96 percent of the surgeries they perform are done laparoscopically.

Henry Ford Hospital provides a comfortable and nurturing environment for each patient. We have a dedicated inpatient unit specifically designed and furnished for bariatric patients. We offer private suites with plenty of room for a loved one to stay overnight while you recover from surgery.

Dr. Genaw and Dr. Carlin are supported by a skilled team of professionals including physicians, nurses, registered dietitions, psychologists and exercise specialists. This complete, multidisciplinary team approach provides each patient with the comprehensive pre- and post- surgical support needed to be successful. This is one of the reasons our program is considered among the best in Michigan and earned the prestigious American Society for Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence designation.
