Dr. Anirudha Goparaju | Roller Weight Loss

With his impressive list of surgical specialties and extensive education, Dr. Goparaju has changed the lives of his patients for the better. He shares his treatment philosophy best: “My philosophy is to treat the patient in front of me, not just the disease or the disease process. This requires I understand their entire history and any problems they may have so I can consider everything during the planning of treatment programs.”

An Intentional Emphasis on Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures

Dr. Goparaju moved from New York City, where he served as an Assistant Professor faculty at NYU Long Island School of Medicine between 2018 and 2022. While there, he was a member of the trauma surgery staff, where he regularly managed emergency and trauma cases. Dr. Goparaju also performed numerous bariatric and general surgery operations using advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques while at NYU Long Island School of Medicine. For most operations, Dr. Goparaju relies on advanced minimally invasive surgery techniques, including robotics. This emphasis perfectly aligns with our mission at Roller Weight Loss and Advanced Surgery.

Dr. Goparaju has published numerous papers and presented at national conferences on topics including robotics in general surgery and complex revisional bariatrics. Dr. Goparaju was recognized and awarded the 2021-2022 Outstanding Faculty of the Year award by the surgical staff.
