Meet The Team: Gerald Haas, MD - Anesthesiologist & Director of Medical Weight Loss

Dr. Jerry Haas has been at LJC helping patients feel comfortable and well cared for before, during, and after surgery for over 25 years.
When Dr. Haas isn’t by patients’ side during surgery, he’s there throughout their weight loss journey to help them safely reach their goals as the director of our medical weight loss program, Signature Skinny Shot.
While serving the Navy on an aircraft carrier as a general medical officer, Dr. Haas’ senior medical officer would always tell him he’d be a great anesthesiologist. He took these words seriously. After two years of serving the Navy, he completed his three-year anesthesia residency, and he’s been keeping patients safe ever since.
