Dr. Simpson received his undergraduate, graduate, and medical degrees from The University of Chicago, and surgical residency at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle. He is a member of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons, as well as a Fellow in The American College of Surgeons. He has authored three books about weight loss surgery as well as a number of articles.
Dr. Simpson has been doing weight loss surgery and laparoscopic surgery since 1991. He has done thousands of laparoscopic cases. After seeing the results of the LAP-BAND in his own patients he decided to only do the LAP-BAND surgery for weight loss.
Dr. Simpson loves to stay in touch with his patients, and answers their emails, even between surgery cases—on his blackberry.
Dr. Simpson will be seeing patients at the Surgical Specialty Hospital of Arizona and can also be found at Southwest Weight Loss.
