Bariatric Center in Florida

Bariatric Center

The Bariatric Center at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville was created to help people struggling with obesity take control of their weight. Our goal is to help patients improve their overall health and ultimately their quality of life.

Obesity is a chronic disease that can contribute to dozens of health problems, from diabetes and heart disease to depression and cancer. While it is challenging to lose weight and keep it off, it is possible. For overweight or obese adults who are unable to do it alone, a team of weight-management professionals from the Bariatric Center at Mayo Clinic can help.

Our Team

A team approach allows us to develop treatment plans tailored to each person's needs. We also help patients develop realistic and achievable weight-loss goals and teach the skills necessary to maintain weight loss over the long-term. Learn more about Bariatric Center services.

Our compassionate team of weight management specialists includes:

  • Physician bariatrician (obesity medicine specialist)
  • Registered dietitian
  • Clinical psychologist
  • Registered nurse
  • Surgeon

Specialists from Cardiology, Pulmonology, Endocrinology, the Sleep Disorders Clinic and other specialties are available, as needed.
