Offering clear answers, respectful care, and personalized treatment plans so patients can confidently move forward with lasting solutions that improve quality of life.

Dr. Alex Fondaw is a friendly, approachable bariatric, foregut, and general surgeon who believes the best care begins with understanding the whole person—not just the condition. He is driven by a deep passion for helping patients live healthier, fuller lives and for improving the overall health of the community he serves.

Dr. Fondaw is especially motivated by seeing the real-life impact of meaningful change: resolving chronic reflux and GERD, helping patients experience the far-reaching benefits of weight loss, and guiding individuals through both acute and chronic conditions toward a better quality of life. These outcomes reinforce his commitment to care that is thoughtful, durable, and rooted in long-term success—not quick fixes that fail to last.

He believes there is rarely a single right answer in medicine. Instead, Dr. Fondaw offers a full spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical options, taking time to clearly explain each path so patients can make informed, confident decisions. His approach is collaborative rather than directive—grounded in transparency, respect, and trust.

A central focus of Dr. Fondaw’s work is creating a care experience where patients feel understood, respected, and supported—especially those navigating obesity and digestive disorders. He recognizes that these conditions are deeply personal and often come with years of frustration, uncertainty, and failed attempts at improvement. By meeting patients where they are and acknowledging the complexity of their journey, Dr. Fondaw helps create the conditions for meaningful, lasting change.

Dr. Fondaw’s perspective has been shaped by caring for patients from all walks of life and by volunteering with underserved communities both locally and around the world. These experiences affirmed a simple truth: patients want a doctor who listens, who is honest, and who is confident in their ability to help.

He strives to be a pillar within his family, community, and profession—treating every individual with fairness and kindness while contributing to a higher standard of care within his field. Through his work, Dr. Fondaw hopes to leave a legacy of destigmatization, reduced barriers to care, and leadership defined by capability and compassion.

Patients consistently describe Dr. Fondaw as caring, comprehensive, and capable—a surgeon who combines clinical expertise with genuine human connection.
