What Makes Our Los Angeles Lap-Band Team Unique?
Our success is based on our partnership with our patients to create the winning team. Because of Dr. Davtyan’s personal experience with obesity and overcoming it with the help of the LAP-BAND, we have a profound sense of compassion and empathy for our patients. We also identify with their dreams and strive together to achieve most optimal results by utilizing most sophisticated technology and our highest level of expertise.
Dr. Davtyan is Board Certified by the American Board of Bariatric Medicine, thus he firmly believes in comprehensive management of excess weight. Consequently, we always have a team approach collaborating with numerous experts in related sub-specialties to ensure complete and thorough pre-operative evaluations and safe and successful post-operative recovery. To ensure best outcomes, we offer our patients easy and frequent access to our numerous clinics for close and attentive follow-ups.
