"Overweight and obesity is one of the greatest challenges of our society today. The impact on health care and quality of life is enormous. Surgical treatment of obesity contributes enormously to the prevention of short- and long-term health problems and has a positive effect on quality of life. By specializing in the treatment of one disease, we are able to provide the best care to our patients. My passion for operating and treating patients through keyhole surgery aligns perfectly with this."
