Angela Glasnapp
MD, FACS, FASMBS, MSCP
Angela Glasnapp, MD, FACS, FASMBS, MSCP is Director of the Medical Weight Loss and Women’s Hormonal Health Programs, and one of the few physicians who treats weight and hormonal health together rather than as separate problems. A board-certified surgeon, diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, and Certified Menopause Practitioner through The Menopause Society, she has practiced bariatric and minimally invasive surgery for more than 16 years and previously directed both the bariatric surgery division and the advanced minimally invasive surgery fellowship at Staten Island University Hospital, where she trained the next generation of surgeons. She performs sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, SADI, revisional bariatric surgery, and anti-reflux and gallbladder surgery, and leads a women’s health program spanning hormone therapy, symptom management, sexual wellness, and bone and cardiometabolic health. A Castle Connolly Top Doctor, Dr. Glasnapp is known above all for listening to her patients and for staying accessible so no one navigates the process alone.
The Patient Experience
Dr. Glasnapp takes a highly personalized, compassionate approach to weight management and women’s health, helping patients feel heard, cared for, and validated from the beginning. As a board-certified surgeon, obesity medicine specialist, and Certified Menopause Practitioner, she provides medical weight-loss care, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, SADI, revisional surgery, hiatal hernia repair, gallbladder surgery, and menopausal hormone therapy. Her goal is to help patients feel like themselves again—whether through weight loss, hormone therapy, or a combination of both.
From the first consultation through treatment and ongoing wellness care, Dr. Glasnapp builds a meaningful partnership with each patient and remains accessible throughout the journey. She works with patients to address their individual goals and concerns, while Strive Surgical’s multidisciplinary team provides continuity of care across specialties. This compassionate, high-touch approach helps patients feel understood and supported as they work toward improved health and well-being.
