Dr. Pial Hope, DO

Dr. Hope is a board-certified general surgeon with fellowship training in minimally invasive bariatric surgery and advanced gastrointestinal surgery. He offers the full complement of ASMBS-endorsed stapled operations (e.g. sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, BPD-DS/SADI-S/SIPS).

He exclusively performs robotic-assisted abdominal surgeries and utilizes Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. This approach significantly minimizes post-operative discomfort, accelerates recovery, and enables patients to return to their daily activities and work sooner.

He also offers the full range of revisional bariatric surgery, a distinct and complex area within the field of bariatric surgery. Patients who experience complications or less-than-ideal outcomes after bariatric surgery often face difficulty finding a surgeon who is both willing and qualified to help. He is committed to thoroughly evaluating and providing tailored recommendations for these patients. While not all cases require revisional surgery, determining the most appropriate path forward requires a comprehensive and thoughtful assessment. This process should not only address common issues, but also delve into subtleties that are sometimes overlooked, which ensures the best possible outcome for the patient.

He also performs a high volume of non-bariatric, foregut surgery for benign foregut pathology, including hiatal/paraesophageal hernias and GERD. Moreover, he performs surgery for gastrointestinal motility disorders, including achalasia and gastroparesis.
