 Ramsey Dallal, MD, FACS has performed more than one thousand weight loss procedures and has managed many more. He has published some of the lowest complication rates and some of the highest patient satisfaction rates in the country.
Dr. Dallal was born and raised in Virginia where he attended college and medical school. He first became involved with bariatric surgery under the instruction of Harvey Sugerman, MD, one of the academic pioneers in open bariatric surgery and past president of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). He completed a surgical residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), which was one of the first programs in the country to perform the laparoscopic gastric bypass and the institution that has done more laparoscopic surgeries than almost anywhere in the world.
After residency, he dedicated a year of his life to train in the techniques of bariatric surgery with the laparoscopic surgical team as the Mark Ravitch/Leon C. Hirsch fellow. He was a clinical instructor at UPMC and trained surgeons how to perform the laparoscopic gastric bypass and the Laparoscopic Adjustable Band® procedures.
After spending several years in private practice in southern California performing bariatric surgery, he joined Albert Einstein Healthcare Network in 2005 as the Director of Einstein Bariatrics, Einstein’s interdisciplinary, minimally invasive surgical weight loss program.
