LIST OF MALS PROVIDERS

This list is purely compiled by recommendations of fellow MALS Pals. This is not an endorsement on behalf of the admin team of this group.

Please keep in mind that there isn’t just one doctor who can treat us all. They each have their own approaches. Another good thing to

remember would be that all patients are different and so are the doctors who treat them. The doctors on this list are purely here to be a

starting point for people looking for a MALS surgeon.
