The Legacy Continues

Since that time, Dr. Kane's son, Dr. James M. Kane, Jr., Dr. Peter C. Rantis, Jr., Dr. Paul J. Guske and Dr. Jonathan W. Wallace joined the practice and have carried on the advanced work of Dr. Kane, Sr. Together, these physicians continue to pioneer the most state-of-the-art technology and surgical techniques. They continue the Kane legacy of advancing the field of weight-loss procedures, as well as a variety of other life-giving surgeries.

This remarkable team of surgeons has performed weight-loss surgeries for a combined total of more than 45 years. Since the practice was founded, it is estimated that close to 8,000 weight-loss surgeries have been performed by this team alone.

"My father's ability to help patients change their lives with weight loss surgery inspired me to follow that path–and continue to help patients find new hope."

–Dr. James Kane, Jr.
