What’s Your Favorite Thing About Working at Eastside?
My favorite thing about working here is the respect Dr. Sanni has for the nutrition component of weight loss surgery and injections. Many times, physicians forget that patients need additional education and support in the nutritional aspect of weight loss, which can be overwhelming. Dr. Sanni wants his patients to succeed, as shown by his willingness to have an in-house registered dietitian available and his encouragement for patients to schedule appointments.

I have eight family members who have undergone weight loss surgery, which drives my passion to help patients succeed and be healthy.
