A Vision for More Connected Care
Dr. Garber founded his practice in 2000, with a goal of making exceptional care accessible to everyone that needed it. Since then, Dr. Garber has been trailblazer in the obesity care space, building a one-of-a-kind practice that provides patients with everything they need under one roof, removing the roadblocks that can make pursuing weight-loss surgery feel overwhelming. From concierge coordination to in-house sleep studies, NYBG did it all.
NYBG is now Strive Surgical. Strive builds on that vision for today’s patients, bringing comprehensive care and guidance together in one place so they can move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and support. We make surgical care more coordinated, accessible, and centered around the patient.

Each provider brings specialized expertise and a personal approach to patient care.
Nearby outpatient centers for same-day, at-home recovery
Many of our procedures are performed in advanced ambulatory surgery centers, specialized facilities built for surgery outside of a hospital.
For patients, that often means a calmer experience, a lower risk of infection, and going home the same day to recover where they feel most at ease. From preparation through surgery and recovery, your team guides you back to living life sooner.
