All patients seeking bariatric surgery with Dr. Robert Woodbury and his team, Allen Cortez MD, Danielle Daye NP, Randi Naquin NP, and Shannon Todd NP at Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital and the Sutter Bariatric Clinic must start by attending one of the local free online patient education seminars. At the seminar you will learn about the disease of obesity and the role of surgery in treatment. All the information about getting started with your bariatric surgery program is at the patient education seminar.
