New York City, New York Jul 15, 2024 (Issuewire.com) -  renowned bariatric surgeon, Dr. Leslie Pristas has dedicated her career to helping individuals achieve their weight loss goals and lead healthier lives. Growing up in Delaware, Ohio, she developed a passion for medicine early on. 

Before embarking on her professional journey, she pursued her undergraduate studies at Denison University and later earned an Air Force scholarship for medical school, where she studied at Ohio University. Upon graduation, she embarked on an active-duty residency in general surgery at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, MS.

Her commitment to excellence and patient care set her apart as a skilled surgeon with a compassionate approach.

After completing her service in the Air Force, Dr. Pristas, along with her husband, returned to Ohio with their three children to be closer to family.  Dr. Pristas was named Director of Bariatric Surgery at two large hospital systems in Cleveland.  It was here that she realized her dream of establishing Best Life Bariatrics and Medical Weight Loss, a practice that combines her years of experience and dedication to providing individualized care to her patients.

At Best Life Bariatrics and Medical Weight Loss, Dr. Pristas goes beyond performing surgeries; she works closely with each patient to help them achieve their long-term weight loss goals and improve their overall quality of life.
