After his general surgery training in Chicago, Dr. JP began his fellowship with a concentration in bariatrics at the Morehouse School of Medicine through Atlanta Medical Center. Unlike other medical professionals, Dr. JP is adamant in the belief that chronic obesity is a disease rather than a result of poor lifestyle choices. By addressing chronic obesity as a disease, Dr. JP is able to give his patients the care and respect that they deserve. This ultimately results in a better relationship between him and his patients and outstanding results.

At this core, Dr. JP loves a challenge. He became an expert in robotic surgery because of the challenges it addresses. In addition, robotic surgery lead to better outcomes and overall was safer for his patients. Learning the new techniques was a challenge that he eagerly accepted in order to be a better surgeon, not only by his personal standards but for his patients. To push himself further, Dr. JP is also part of a research collaborative for robotic bariatric surgery.
