About Me

At St. Luke’s University Health Network’s Weight Management Center, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional care to everyone. Using a multidisciplinary- and team-based approach, our center will make sure that your journey to a healthier you is successful every step of the way.

I am a metabolic and bariatric surgeon. I specialize in surgery for weight loss as well as treating and preventing metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. I am an active member of the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and I have presented and published topics related to obesity at national meetings and journals. I earned my MD at Ross University School of Medicine and completed a residency at St. Luke’s and a fellowship at the University of California School of Medicine.

I perform a wide range of advanced procedures through minimally invasive or laparoscopic techniques. This means that incisions are very small which translates into decreased pain, less or no use of narcotics and an expedited recovery. I also perform a wide range of foregut procedures.

Come see us today and allow us to give you the second chance at life that you deserve.

Dr. Ike is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. He is kind, he listens, and he is very friendly. My mother and my husband met him just once each, for only a few minutes, and they both took an instant liking to him, as I did when I first met him. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking bariatric surgery.

This was my first time seeing Dr Ike. He was truly a compassionate and caring Dr. In my 40 plus years of seeing doctors I don't think I've ever seen one that was his kind as him and as professional. He had an intern with him and he was also very nice. And respectful. I would definitely recommend Dr Ike to anyone that has orthopedic issues that I know.

I used e-check in so when I got to the office the check in process was quick. The MA that roomed me was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. Dr. Ike was also fantastic. He was very professional and answered all my questions as well as those of my aunt who attended the appointment with me. I appreciate that he was respectful of my concerns and gave me options without pushing anything on me.

I live in Central Pennsylvania and travel to St Luke's in Bartinsville because the service and medical care at St Luke's is the best. PLUS Dr. Ike is definitely one of the BEST doctors I have seen in a long time. I have been to Hersey medical center, and Giesinger medical center and I still drive over 2 hours for the best of care at St Luke's. THANK YOU ST LUKE'S...
