I was so scared to go in and the first person i met with was so kind and helpful. The doctor was very detailed and spoke to me on just the right level about the process and details behind what we were going to do.

More about Dr. Duane Fredericks, MD

Duane A. Fredericks, MD has had extensive experience in providing surgical and non-surgical methods in medical weight loss. He is an ardent proponent of combining healthy lifestyle choices with the highest quality medical care to put a stop to the obesity epidemic, person by person. Expert in Surgical Solutions For Weight Loss After graduating from Temple University School of Medicine and completing his residency at the Graduate/Temple University Hospital, Dr. Fredericks did a fellowship in bariatric surgery at New York University studying under renowned surgeons Dr. George Fielding and Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding with a particular focus on the adjustable gastric banding technique in bariatric surgery. He also worked directly for Allergan, the originators of the Lap-Band, and Ethicon, the originators of the Realize Band. Dr. Fredericks has helped hundreds of his surgical patients successfully lose significant weight, get their lives back and reduce their co-morbid conditions, like diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea. Expert in Non-Surgical Solutions For Weight Loss/Medical Weight Loss Dr. Fredericks has also observed that surgical interventions are only a tool for achieving successful weight loss and if that tool is not managed effectively – through education and appetite control solutions – even surgical interventions can lose their efficacy in the long term.

1st visit it was good...
Verified patient
During a time where seeing a medical professional in person may be concerning, I felt very comfortable, as the office was very clean and both the doctor and his assistant were wearing masks. I came in and was seen immediately. Dr. Frederick was very clear and concise during the consultation, teaching me about the various things my body could be doing. He didn’t make me feel bad about my weight and reassured me that he was there to help me attain my goals. I also appreciate how he did not throw surgery in my face, but indicated that we would be exploring options outside of surgery to assist in reaching my goal.
Verified patient
Dr. Fredericks is incredibly kind and knowledgable. He made sure to take time to explain everything I needed to know about what he does and how he can help me. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him.
Verified patient
When I made my appointment with Dr. Fredericks I was a little embarrassed of my weight gain after having weight loss surgery. He made me feel so comfortable. He didn’t rush through the appointment at all. I’ve always talked about if a doctor didn’t have good bedside manners I wouldn’t come back. When I tell you he has impeccable bedside manners; it’s an understatement. He talked through everything but made sure to ask me if I had any questions. I was truly amazed with his knowledge of weight management. I look forward to my next appointment with him!!!!
Verified patient
Dr. Fredericks was very friendly and honest. He has the warmest bedside manner. I look forward for continuing with his practice.
Verified patient
