Dr. Onyeka Nwokocha, MD

Dr. Onyeka Nwokocha, MD

Bariatric Physician
4850 W Oakland Park Blvd, Ste 224, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Dr. Onyeka Nwokocha is a board-certified, fellowship-trained Bariatric and General Surgeon practicing in Miami, Miami Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, FL. He earned his Doctor of Medicine from Howard University, completed his General Surgery residency at Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, and received his bariatric fellowship training at Cleveland Clinic in Florida. With over 10 years of experience, Dr. Nwokocha has performed thousands of successful bariatric weight loss procedures using minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic approaches (tiny cuts). His bariatric services include Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, and Gastric Band procedures. He also specializes in a non-invasive, non-surgical (meaning NO CUTTING), 15-minute procedure called the Gastric Balloon for weight loss. This balloon can be placed during a lunch break, allowing patients to return to work the same day. In our experience, average weight loss with the balloon ranges from 30 to 70 pounds. Additionally, Dr. Nwokocha offers Botox and fillers to restore youthfulness, treat various scars, and address other medical conditions such as small imperfections, wrinkles, folds, jawline slimming, TMJ, and chronic migraines. A mini tummy tuck is also available after weight loss. He is experienced in endoscopy as well as colon and rectal surgery. He performs upper endoscopies to diagnose and treat heartburn (reflux), ulcers, hiatal hernia, and more. Dr. Nwokocha is an expert in correcting various hernias, especially hiatal hernias, which can cause acid reflux. He maintains affiliations with several hospitals and doctors, particularly plastic surgeons in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Dr. Nwokocha is also affectionately known as Dr. Universe because his medical mission extends across the globe.
