Our Story
Surgical Associates of Metro Atlanta is a specialty weight loss surgery clinic in metro Atlanta. Located in Monroe, GA, we offer general surgery, breast, gallbladder, cancer, hernia, colon, hemorrhoid, and bariatric surgeries, to include the gastric sleeve and the duodenal switch. We are in affiliation with the Piedmont Hospital system and operate out of the Piedmont Walton, Eastside, and Newton hospitals.
Founded in 2001, Dr. Maynard and his team at SAMA Bariatrics equip their patients with the tools they need to be successful through education, planning, and support to ensure the patient experience is one of grace and comfort. Whether you are in need of general surgery or weight loss surgery, our goal is to give our patients the best life possible after their procedure.
More than just surgery.
Bariatric Surgery is a life-altering event that can ultimately lead to a happier you. However, surgery is just one tool that will help you achieve your goal weight. Your weight loss story is a life-long journey that does not simply start and stop with surgery—but instead is a mix of proper nutrition, physical activity, vitamins and supplements, the appropriate after-care, and so much more.
