Dr. Louis Balsama, a highly-trained bariatric surgeon and SJ Magazine “Top Doc,” has dedicated his life to the pursuit of better outcomes and innovative patient care in bariatric surgery. Not only was he a pioneer of the minimally invasive 3-port laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in the northeast, he was also the first surgeon to complete an SILS Lap Band procedure at Kennedy Hospital. When he’s not in the operating room, he can be found providing continuous support to his patients with his healthy cooking show and his virtual running club.
