William Rizk, MD

General Surgery, Bariatric Surgery

Dr. Rizk is a board-certified general and bariatric surgeon who specializes in weight loss surgery, and he has been performing laparoscopic weight loss surgeries since 2002. Dr. Rizk is a graduate of the University of South Dakota, and he completed his surgery residency at the Iowa Methodist Medical Center. He is a member of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons (ASMBS) and a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine.

In addition to weight loss surgery, Dr. Rizk also performs panniculectomies at Cass Health. A panniculectomy is a surgery that removes excess skin and fat from your lower abdomen. This surgery is often medically necessary for patients who have excess skin after weight loss or pregnancy. Abdominoplasty (commonly known as a tummy tuck) can only be performed at Cass Health when it is done in conjunction with a medically necessary panniculectomy. Insurance coverage is subject to individual health-plan requirements and prior authorization.
