Dr. Enochs remains at the forefront of cutting edge technology and has begun to utilize robotics in his practice. He was the first in Wake County to perform a robotic gallbladder removal, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and Lap-Band procedure. He is a proctor for the robotic platform and is currently teaching other bariatric surgeons across the country this technique.

Dr. Enochs recently added the Sleeve Gastrectomy with Single Anastomosis Duodenoilial Bypass (SIPS/SADS/SADI-S) to the arsenal of procedures he performs. This procedure is one of the latest advancements in bariatric surgery and provides patients with increased weight loss as well as may resolve type 2 diabetes altogether. Most patients currently undergoing this procedure with Dr. Enochs are participating in a multi-center year-long research study.
