Dr. LeGrand personally handles after-hours emergencies for his patients. Other clinics and hospitals have groups of surgeons that share on-call duties, which means patients with emergent needs might not be treated by the surgeon who performed their initial procedure.

As a privately-owned and operated weight-loss practice, Heartland Weight Loss clinic gives patients more, affordable surgery site options. By contrast, clinics owned by healthcare systems are often limited to using a specific hospital.

Our clinic is large enough to provide patients a variety of in-office services such as dietician visits and transnasal endoscopies, but it’s small enough that patients and team members get to know each other personally. These relationships create a warm and inviting environment.

Dieticians work on-site at Heartland Weight Loss Clinic. Patients do not have to contact an outside clinic to complete insurance-required visits. Direct access to dieticians helps fast track patients to surgery.

Dr. LeGrand sees his patients during at least one pre-surgery office visit, their one-week post-op office visit and more often in some cases.  Some surgeons wait to meet their patients at the surgery site shortly before surgery.

Transnasal endoscopies are conducted in the clinic as a fast, five-minute procedure.  Sedation is not necessary eliminating the need for a driver.  Receiving an in-office endoscopy is also more affordable than hospital and surgery center options.
