Las Vegas Bariatric Surgeon – Dr. Umbach

Dr. Umbach brings his expertise of establishing successful bariatric practices to the Las Vegas area, currently operating at Seven Hills Surgery Center and Desert Springs Hospital. He has previously started up the laproscopic surgical weight loss program at Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco, which services all of Northern California. He then created a “Center of Excellence” program in Eugene, Oregon. Other notable achievements include; “America's Top Surgeon 2008,” several “Who's Who” listings and being an Eagle Scout.

Bariatrics is Dr. Umbach's Passion! His practice is 100% devoted to helping Las Vegas Lap Band and gastric bypass patients achieve healthier lifestyles. It brings him great pleasure to see patients shed their excess weight and enjoy the simple pleasures of life – playing with their children or grandchildren, riding a roller coaster for the first time, or starting to date and travel.

Dr. Umbach and his wife, Holly, have two wonderful children, Alex and Taylor. The family enjoys traveling, camping, reading, watching America's Next Top Model and HGTV, and skiing/snowboarding. They have a wonderful German Sheppard named Cadia, who thinks she's a lap dog. In his spare time Dr. Umbach is brushing up on the piano and kicking the soccer ball with Cadia.
