Overview
I practice a broad range of general surgery with a passion for advanced, minimally invasive surgical approaches to treating diseases of the digestive tract and abdomen. I have expertise in laparoscopy, robotics, endoscopy, and TEM/TAMIS techniques. My strongest interests are in esophageal, stomach, and colorectal surgery. I believe in enhanced recovery protocols, multimodal pain control, and minimally invasive approaches to reduce discomfort and stress. Outside of my surgical calling, I enjoy time with my family, rooting for UNC, gaming, enjoying music and theater, and walking through trails and gardens.

Duke Center For Metabolic And Weight Loss Surgery, Durham Clinic
I care for patients seeking long-term, sustainable weight loss through advanced surgical options. As a bariatric and minimally invasive surgeon, I specialize in procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and revision surgeries. I also address related conditions like hernias, reflux, and metabolic disease. I’m passionate about supporting patients not just during surgery, but throughout their journey—before, during, and long after the procedure. I chose this field because I’ve seen how life-changing these interventions can be, both physically and emotionally. I take time to understand each patient’s goals, challenges, and lifestyle, and I work with them to build a path forward that’s realistic and durable. Outside of work, I enjoy travel, music, and time with friends, which helps me stay grounded and energized for the work I do. Dr. Meireles is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Achalasia. His top areas of expertise are Achalasia, Obesity, Hernia, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Gastrectomy.
