Welcome to the Covenant Weight Management Center. We offer medically-based solutions to permanent weight
loss. Our two main areas of treatment are Bariatric Surgery and Medically Supervised Programs.

With 16 years’ experience, Dr. Stephen Boyce and his team have performed more than 1,000 bariatric surgeries with an exceptional success and safety record. Most insurance carriers cover the cost and we’ll help you with those details. It’s not about looks; it’s about getting your health back. So get ready to lose that weight, once and for all.

Obesity is a health issue. Rather than working with someone trained to “sell a diet,” at Covenant Weight Management Center you will work with a team of medical professionals to find solutions for every obstacle. Participants tell us the key to their success has been our unique “one-on-one and side-by-side” approach.

Gift the gift of health with a Covenant Weight Management Center gift certificate. It's a thoughtful way to show just how much you care. Click here for details.
