Dr. Cesar A. Lara is a Board Certified Family Physician and is a leading expert in the field of bariatrics, the medical treatment of obesity and weight loss. He received his medical degree from The University of Iowa City in 1986 and is an active member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians.
Dr. Lara began his bariatric specialty while in practice as a Family Physician. After many years of practice, he became frustrated with the inability to cure his patients of many major diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and high cholesterol. Dr. Lara felt that masking these common diseases with numerous medications was not good enough. He recognized the burden these illnesses created in his patients’ lives, along with the physical side effects of the medications and the financial pressure that weighed so heavily on them. Dr. Lara knew that weight loss was the only solution to help heal these illnesses, but so many of his patients struggled with losing the weight.
Thus, by 2002 he incorporated a sound medical treatment to help his patients lose the weight and keep it off. Today it has emerged into Cesar A. Lara, M.D.’s Center for Weight Management, one of Tampa Bay’s premier weight loss centers. He has helped thousands regain their lives and their ability to focus on a promising future. In fact, the program has been so successful that Dr. Lara educates physicians and others in the medical field about weight loss.
Be sure to catch him on Bay News 9 and Bay News 9 en Espanol weekly, where he addresses health care issues to the Hispanic community in Tampa Bay.
