Dallas Weight Loss Surgeons Highlight State-of-the-Art Office in Colleyville

COLLEYVILLE, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2013) - Dr. David D. Kim, a Dallas bariatric surgeon, and Dr. Bridget Holden, a Kim Bariatric Institute (KBI) certified weight loss surgeon, each have devoted their surgical careers to the fight against obesity. Recently, they provided some insight into the unique attributes of their weight loss surgery practice, Kim Bariatric Institute. Located in Colleyville, TX, Dr. Kim says the state-of-the-art bariatric office is equipped with the latest, most advanced technologies designed to help patients achieve optimal weight loss results. According to Dr. Holden, the technology and potential for growth within the Colleyville office provides significant benefits for both the practice and its patients.

Having previously been voted a national leader in bariatric surgery by Castle Connolly, Dr. Kim says he strives to keep his practice at the forefront of his medical field. For this reason, he says he has made an effort to distinguish his office from others in the area. When asked what specifically sets his office apart, Dr. Kim replied:

"We are one of the oldest practices in North Texas with over 10 years of experience and greater than 6,000 bariatric patients helped. It is the experience level that sets our practice apart from others and will ultimately help our future patients."

As one of the few bariatric surgeons in the nation to offer not one, but all four major types of weight loss surgery (LAP-BAND®, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, and Duodenal Switch operations), Dr. Kim says he is also glad to have a state-of-the-art office that enables him to provide:

• Fluoroscopy machines for guided band fills
• Sonogram machines to help diagnose gallbladder issues
• A greater capacity for patient education and follow-up care
• More comfortable patient accommodations
• A larger space for housing advanced medical technology
• Room for future expansion

According to Drs. Kim and Holden, their practice has a reputation among patients and peers for providing compassionate treatment, excellent results, and comprehensive care. By continuing to update their Colleyville office with the latest advancements in bariatric surgery, Dr. Holden believes she and Dr. Kim will be able to make their reputation grow along with the practice. Furthermore, Dr. Kim says he is excited to see what the future holds and remains committed to providing the best care possible for patients seeking bariatric surgery in Dallas and the Greater-Dallas area.
