Bariatric Surgery Announcement

Ellis Medicine has made the difficult decision to close the Bariatric Care Center on River Road in Niskayuna.  We will no longer be seeing bariatric surgery patients at this location as of February 28, 2025.

This decision, while disruptive, reflects changing trends in health care, including the growing use of weight loss medications like Wegovy and Ozempic and significant reductions in bariatric surgery.

Medication Weight Loss

For patients interested in medication weight loss treatment options, Ellis Medicine’s Primary Care physicians are available in several locations, including offices in Glenville, Clifton Park and Schenectady.  Click here for more information. Or call 844.518.DOCS to schedule an appointment.

New Niskayuna Primary Care Office (coming soon)

Looking ahead, we plan to repurpose the River Road bariatric office location to expand primary care services - an essential need in our community.  We are also exploring bringing medication weight loss specialists to this location as well. 

All of us at Ellis Medicine take our responsibilities to you seriously and are grateful for the trust and confidence you have put in us. Thank you for allowing our medical professionals—and all staff of the Bariatric Care Center—to provide services to you through the years.
