Overview
I’m an internal medicine doctor by training and worked with patients in the hospital setting with HealthPartners/Park Nicollet for 13 years. In 2024, due to substantial professional and personal interest, I changed my focus to obesity medicine and weight management. I believe weight management should be shame- and stigma-free and should focus on improving quality of life and lowering the risk of weight-related illnesses over time. I enjoy discussing both the clinical and personal aspects of weight management with patients, as it is, indeed, a personal journey. My aim is to implement a multifaceted approach to weight loss that’s tailored to each individual patient. This includes helping to improve their health and well-being by focusing on a foundation of healthful dietary, exercise and lifestyle habits, as well as the use of medications and/or bariatric surgery, when necessary or needed.
His clinical expertise encompasses Pacemaker Implantation and Ureteroscopy.
Dr. Vawter is board certified in American Board Of Internal Medicine. Dr. Vawter is currently accepting new patients.
