Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC), a member of Dartmouth Health, is expanding medical weight loss options in the region with Albany-based Capital Bariatrics.
Capital Bariatrics became a practice of SVMC’s Twin Rivers Medical, P.C in February and officially reopened the Albany office at 7 Southwoods Boulevard on March 10. The team is also practicing out of Bennington, Vermont.
“Capital Bariatrics has an established reputation in the region and years of expertise,” said Trey Dobson, MD, chief medical officer and vice president of clinical services at SVMC. “Building upon our existing relationship was a natural progression and one we know will have a positive impact on the communities we serve.”
The clinical team at Capital Bariatrics is led by surgeons Matthew D. McDonald, DO, and Terence Clarke, MD. The team provides surgical options, medical weight loss programs, comprehensive support and post-surgery care.
“We’re thrilled to have the additional support and resources that come with being part of an exceptional healthcare system,” said Dr. Clarke. “We closely align in our commitment to providing individualized, safe and compassionate care.”
Dr. McDonald noted that the care team’s expertise and dedication to patients remains the same.
“Bariatric surgery and medical weight loss is a life-changing journey for patients and we’re grateful to be back, doing what we do best, which is supporting patients on the path to a healthier life,” said Dr. McDonald.
