Harold L. Kent, M.D.
“As a surgeon, bariatrics is especially meaningful to me. Weight loss surgery can make a tremendous impact on our patients’ physical health allow them to do things they could never do before. Our successful patients gain a new level of self-confidence and improve their overall health…the benefits go on and on.”
“I have also seen how the significantly overweight people I work with have suffered. On top of their health problems, they’ve dealt with embarrassment, discrimination and all kinds of limitations in their lives. Whenever one of my patients is successful in losing weight and regaining their health, I feel like we’ve both accomplished something good. All of us here at Georgia Coast Surgical want to contribute to your success and your sense of well being.”
