ARIZONA MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS

2152 S. Vineyard, #135, Mesa, AZ 85210 480-539-1855 · arizonamedicalweightloss.com Year Est: 1998 Care Providers: 2 Principal(s): Gary A. Knighton

Dr. Knighton has been practicing bariatric medicine since 1996 and founded his practice in 1998. He has been a resident for the past 28 years and there’s no better place he’d rather call home. He has built a one-of-a-kind practice right here in the Valley of the Sun. Dr. Knighton’s philosophy on helping patients succeed is to never assume that any two people are the same. His multi-faceted approach has become an art form; his vast knowledge of bariatric medicine, ability to see beyond the obstacles and taking science into consideration truly make him one-of-a-kind.

COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Dr. Knighton’s compassion and his own battle with weight are what sets him apart from others. He makes it a priority to be involved in the care of every patient that walks through his door, as well as the ability to spend extra time when someone really needs it. He never wants his patients to feel lost in the shuffle. He wants his patients to feel at home in a comfortable, inviting atmosphere.” OUTLOOK FOR 2021: “Botox and dermal fillers continue to grow in demand; especially as weight is lost and the desire to feel great increases. Needless to say, Dr. Knighton and his certified physician assistant, Nicolle Skarmas, will stay very busy.” last year 2
