In 2002, Dr. Mehta became amongst the first fellowship trained bariatric surgeons in the United States under tutelege of Dr. Brolin, a pioneer of bariatric surgery. During his fellowship, he gained vast exposure to bariatric surgery & assisted in performing complex revisions of dated procedures which are no longer performed. He founded the Mehta Bariatric Center, and has devoted his career to helping patients lose weight, reclaiming their health and their life. He has helped 3,000 people lose about 250,000 lbs. and has helped about an another 1,000 people with body contouring procedures such as Tummy-tucks & liposuction. He has served as Chief of Bariatric Surgery at 2 hospitals, was amongst the first in the world to perform Robotic Bariatric Surgery, and is currently among a handful in the US who perform the new Gastric Plication procedure. He is unique in that he can offer patients both Bariatric Surgery & Body Contouring procedures.  Patients find comfort in continuing care by the same surgeon with whom they have already developed a trusting relationship. His affiliated hospital is designated a "Center of Excellence" for bariatric surgery. Although a majority of our patients are from NJ, NY & PA, some travel much greater distance, especially those who have complex issues. 

On a personal note, he found the love of his life, got married, and started a family. As you can see, he's got his hands full. When he's not working, he can be found home with the family. His better half, Laura, is a Nurse Practitioner with a degree in Exercise Science. She also works at the practice and is involved in patient care, nutrition and exercise.
