About Charles Callery

Dr. Charles Callery and his staff and associates strive to provide excellent, up to date surgical care and personal attention. Convenient scheduling and good communication with your primary care doctor and other consultants is of utmost importance to us. We believe that thorough education of the patient and family provides the basis for a smooth surgical course and long term weight control. We approach clinically severe obesity as a genetically based condition, that is amplified by a variety of social, psychological, dietary, and environmental factors. Diet, exercise, and counseling programs alone are ineffective for many patients. Gastric bypass surgery reduces the size of the stomach and allows food to pass quickly into the small intestine. Lap-Band® restricts the upper stomach. Vertical sleeve gastrectomy reduces stomach size and decreases the amount of appetite stimulating hormones in the system. Gastric bypass, Lap-Band®, and sleeve gastrectomy surgery thereby offer a tool, that when combined with behavior modification, psychological adjustment, and reasonable exercise, can result in much more significant and lasting reduction in both weight and weight related illnesses.

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What if a detail is missing or outdated?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.
