Board-certified, robotic-certified, and now accepting new patients at Dickson Medical Associates.

With over four years of attending-level experience and Intuitive da Vinci robotic certification, Dr. Mormando brings both technical proficiency and sound clinical judgment to every bariatric case. She recognizes obesity as a chronic, multifactorial disease requiring individualized surgical planning and long-term metabolic management.
She is now welcoming new bariatric surgery patients at Dickson Medical Associates in Dickson, TN.
Dr. Mormando performs the full spectrum of primary and revisional weight loss surgery using laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches.
Dr. Mormando holds an Intuitive da Vinci robotic surgery certificate and is experienced in robotic-assisted laparoscopic bariatric procedures — including robotic sleeve gastrectomy and robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Robotic-assisted bariatric surgery offers enhanced precision, improved visualization, and ergonomic advantages for complex cases — particularly revisional procedures and patients with a higher BMI or prior abdominal surgery, where tissue planes are more challenging.
Bariatric surgery is a significant decision. Dr. Mormando takes the time to walk through your options and whether surgery is right for you.
Candidates typically have a BMI ≥ 40, or a BMI ≥ 35 with a related condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
Whether it's your first bariatric procedure or a revision of a prior surgery, your evaluation is tailored to your history and goals.
Bariatric surgery is the start of a long-term relationship — nutrition, follow-up labs, and metabolic management are part of the plan.
Dr. Mormando performs the full range of primary and revisional bariatric procedures: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), adjustable gastric band removal, band-to-bypass conversion, band-to-sleeve conversion, sleeve-to-bypass conversion, bariatric endoscopy, and post-bariatric complication management.
