SAMPA surgeons have a long history of working on the cutting edge of surgery. We were the first to perform a laparoscopic adrenalectomy anywhere in the world! SAMPA completed the first laparoscopic colectomy in 1991, the first laparoscopic gastric bypass in the region in 2001, the first robotic surgery in the region in 2013, among many other firsts. Our specialized services include a full range of

weight loss procedures, breast surgery, acid reflux surgery, and colorectal surgery along with other general surgery procedures. The SAMPA team offers minimally invasive options and robotically assisted surgery for many of the complex procedures we perform meaning decreased risk, smaller scars, and less pain for the patient. We would love to help you find better health and are ready to cheer you on along your journey. Our caring and capable team includes Dr. Jeffrey Hannon, Dr. Daniel Lane, Dr. Forrest Ringold, Dr. Dusty Smith, Dr. Barry Ballard, Jr., Dr. Gregory M. Mansour as well as our certified Nurse Practitioners Jill Hawkins, Claudia Fantucci, and Alison Holland.

🌟😀 At SAMPA, we’re proud to now offer GLP-1 medications as a tool in long-term weight management for patients who qualify. They’ve been a helpful option for some bariatric patients to maintain their results or kickstart their journey.

🌟 We’re here to help you weigh the options between GLP-1 medications and bariatric surgery to choose what’s best for your body and your goals.

At this year’s ASMBS conference, Dr. Ringold spent time at the Titan stapler booth!

Traditional laparoscopic staplers require multiple firings to close the stomach, which can leave overlapping staple lines and increase the chance of complications. The Titan stapler solves that. Its long, continuous cartridge was designed specifically for bariatric procedures, leading to a cleaner, more consistent closure and better outcomes for patients.

🙌 Technology like this matters. And we’re proud to be part of a field that continues to evolve for patients! 🌟
