Jaime Almandoz, M.D.

Meet Dr. Almandoz

Obesity medicine specialist in Dallas

Jaime Almandoz, M.D., specializes in evidence-based, patient-centered medical care for people with obesity, including comprehensive management before and after bariatric surgery. His expertise integrates advanced training in internal medicine, endocrinology, and obesity medicine to support patients in achieving sustainable health outcomes and improved quality of life.

“Many of my patients have dealt with weight-related health challenges for years, often experiencing frustration or discouragement along the way,” Dr. Almandoz explains. “My role is to empower them by effectively addressing both their weight-related health concerns and any metabolic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, while focusing on their overall well-being.”

Dr. Almandoz cares for patients at all stages of their weight management journey – those interested in nonsurgical management, those considering bariatric surgery, and those who have already undergone surgical procedures.

“My goal is to optimize each patient’s health and quality of life, ensuring they achieve their individual health goals safely, without nutritional deficiencies or health complications,” he notes.

His practice emphasizes personalized care, recognizing each patient’s unique health circumstances, preferences, and lifestyle factors. Treatment plans may include nutrition guidance, behavior modification, pharmacological interventions, and appropriate physical activity programs tailored to individual needs and capabilities.

“Although achieving a healthy energy balance is important, our approach to obesity care goes far beyond that,” Dr. Almandoz explains. “We use innovative treatments that combine the latest evidence-based medications and procedures with personalized lifestyle strategies to support each patient’s overall health.”

Understanding that obesity involves a complex interplay of genetic, biological, environmental, and social factors, Dr. Almandoz underscores the importance of a holistic approach.

“Weight and metabolic health extend beyond physiology alone; the social and behavioral elements are crucial,” he says. “My responsibility is to identify and address all potential contributing factors – including medications, metabolic issues, lifestyle behaviors, and social determinants – to help every patient achieve sustainable health improvements and a better quality of life.”
