Dr. Rutledge's years of experience have shown him that patient education, state-of-the-art technology and a safe, comfortable environment are keys to a successful weight loss surgery. He and his dedicated team work closely with their patients to fully understand any fears or concerns they have about their weight loss surgery. Dr. Rutledge understands that some patients may be nervous about undergoing a mini-gastric bypass procedure, so he diligently works to provide all the necessary information to help his patients make informed decisions.

Dr. Rutledge has treated patients from every region of the U.S., as well as patients from overseas. Although he offers several weight loss procedures to help patients achieve life-changing results, he stresses the overall effectiveness and safety of the mini-gastric bypass when compared to other procedures. His experience and skill with this treatment allows him to offer it as an outpatient procedure to some of his patients.
