Listen as I interview my friend Melanie about why she chose to fly to Mexico for bariatric surgery.
At Boost, we don’t think any clinic should compete with Mexico. The price war is a race to the bottom that you don’t want to win. BUT, if you are going to differentiate yourself, you have to provide a different experience for your patient leads.
We talk about the patient experience, taking care of patient leads, and the biggest “lever” for clinics to pull if they want to see more patients.
In this episode, Matty interviews Suzanne Baeke from BLISCare. For over 15 years, BLISCare has been offering surgical complication protection.

The last year and a half has been quite a ride for Dr. Bernie Hanna. In this episode, we talk about his journey in private practice bariatrics. For 17 years, Dr. Hanna was a solo practice.

A really fun episode with Dr. Sachin Kukreja where I ask multiple ignorant questions about using the robot for bariatric surgery.
