Weight Loss Surgery with Dr. Hungness The way I develop a relationship with my patients is to first put them at ease. They are coming to me with a problem and to see if surgery can really help them. It is my job to partner with them, to team with them so that they understand why they may need surgery. I am highly invested in improving long-term weight loss outcomes of patients. -Dr. Eric Hungness Dr. Hungnes
