About John Meilahn
For over a decade, Dr. John Meilahn and the Temple Weight Loss Team have maintained a high-volume of patients, high standard of care and excellent outcomes. Every patient first meets with Dr. Meilahn. Then, based on a comprehensive evaluation, the best surgical option is clearly explained. The Bariatric Surgical Center at Temple features customized rooms and equipment designed especially for the comfort and safety of the bariatric patient. Temple provides follow-up clinical visits with Dr. Meilahn, diet and lifestyle counseling, education and personal support to achieve long-lasting results. At both Temple and at Jeanes Hospitals, our main concern is the safety, comfort and lifelong weight loss of each patient.

About this directory profile
What does a directory listing mean?
A listing helps you find practice information and member experiences. It does not establish clinical quality, current credentials, or availability.
How do I use member reviews?
Read the date and the details of each experience. Reviews are personal accounts. They do not predict your results or replace a clinical consultation.
What if a detail is missing or outdated?
Ask the practice for current information. Use “Suggest an update” on the surgeon profile to report a correction to BariatricPal.
