Overview of Dr. Ricci Gorbea

I am a board certified general surgeon with specialization in weight loss and hernia surgery. Through new and innovative technology I repair hernias with the DaVinci robotic platform decreasing the post operative pain and length of stay in the hospital. My team and I offer our patients the best options for weight loss either via surgery or a clinical dietitian supervised program.
