Dr. Kent - Weight Loss Surgeon Brunswick, Georgia
"As a surgeon, bariatrics is especially meaningful to me. We are able to make an impact on our patient’s physical health and on their entire lives. They’re able to do things they could never do before, they enjoy their kids and their families, gain a new level of self-confidence… the benefits go on and on.”
“I have also seen how the significantly overweight people I work with have suffered. On top of their health problems, they’ve dealt with embarrassment, discrimination and all kinds of limitations in their lives. It means so much to me to know that not only can I help you with your medical concerns. As a dedicated weight loss doctor serving Georgia and Northeast Florida, I can be a source of compassion and understanding you can rely on. It’s a level of care we believe you deserve, and I am proud to say that you’ll find it with everyone at Georgia Coast Surgical.”
Dr. Kent is happily married and has three daughters. In his free time he enjoys scuba diving, community service activities and is a member of St. Simon’s Presbyterian Church.
