Get to know General and Bariatric Surgeon & Surgical Endoscopist, Dr. Masoud Rezvani, who serves patients in Virginia

Dr. Rezvani is a board-certified general surgeon practicing at DHMR Clinics in Woodbridge and Dulles, Virginia. As a bariatric surgeon, he performs procedures such as Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Band placement, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, Endoscopic Intragastric Balloon placement, Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS), as well as revision surgery and endoscopic revision procedures. As a general surgeon, he performs both minimally invasive and robotic surgical procedures on gallbladder, appendix, stomach, hernias, colon, small intestine and soft tissue.

“Dr. Rezvani has performed more than 2,000 laparoscopic weight-loss operations in the last few years.  Patients entrust their care to him more often than any other provider in Northern Virginia; he is the highest volume bariatric surgeon in the region. Dr. Rezvani strongly believes that bariatric surgery is among the more demanding surgical disciplines, technically and intellectually. He has devoted 100% of his professional effort to obesity surgery. He is licensed to practice medicine in states of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania”, states the official website of DHMR Clinics.

Dr. Rezvani received his medical degree in Tehran, Iran, in 1999, at the Islamic Azad University – Tehran Medical Branch. He relocated to the United States, where he completed a general surgery residency (2004 – 2009), as well as a fellowship in minimally invasive weight loss surgery (2012 – 2013) at Abington Hospital – Jefferson Health in Abington, Pennsylvania. During his fellowship, he gained expertise in advanced laparoscopic bariatric surgery, robotic surgery and surgical endoscopy. He is also trained in the DaVinci robotic surgery for weight loss.

The doctor attained board certification in general surgery through the American Board of Surgery (ABS). The ABS is an independent, non-profit organization located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded for the purpose of certifying surgeons who have met a defined standard of education, training, and knowledge. 

General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland. 

Bariatric surgery includes a variety of procedures performed on people who are obese. Long term weight loss through standard of care procedures is largely achieved by altering gut hormone levels that are responsible for hunger and satiety, leading to a new hormonal weight set point.

Dr. Rezvani is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and Fellow of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (FASMBS). He is also an active member of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). Licensed to practice in the states of Virginia and Pennsylvania, he remains affiliated with Inova Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax, Virginia, Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge, Virginia, and Mary Washington Weight Loss Center in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
