About Linda Youngwirth, MD, FASMBS
What I enjoy most about bariatric surgery is not only improving a patient's health, but their quality of life. It is extremely rewarding to help patients meet their weight-loss goals through bariatric surgery. My clinical interests include diabetes and infertility resolution after weight-loss surgery. Outside of work, I enjoy spinning, watching sports and baking.
