What is Capital Bariatrics?
Capital Bariatrics is mainly a bariatric practice, so weight loss surgery is its core work, with medical weight loss care as one of its services. It has offices in Latham, New York, and Bennington, Vermont. The practice says it is based in the Albany area and provides limited service in Bennington. In February 2025 it joined the Twin Rivers practice of Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC) as an affiliate. The doctors have a combined 40 years of experience.
The two people named as prescribers are Matthew McDonald, DO and Terence Clarke. Its listed services are advanced weight loss procedures, vital gastrointestinal surgeries, and surgical and medical weight loss options. A September 2025 SVMC news article names Wegovy and Zepbound when it discusses the medication option. Hormone therapy, peptide therapy and longevity medicine are not among the services it names. Google shows a 3.8 rating from 8 reviews. In its own words: "Capital Bariatrics is committed to providing expert surgical solutions that restore health and enhance well-being."
This listing is for its Latham office at 24 Century Hill Dr #001.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, including consultation fees and the cost of surgery or medical weight loss. It does not say whether a monthly fee would include medication, or whether it accepts insurance. The only figure in its materials comes from a September 2025 SVMC article quoting its doctors. That article puts long-term medication options at between $1,000 and $2,000 per month and says insurance does not typically cover them. The health system's price transparency page covers hospital services, so it does not show this practice's fees.
What should you ask before you book?
Who will write any prescription, and is it Matthew McDonald, DO, Terence Clarke, or another clinician? Does a monthly fee include the medication, and is the drug brand name or compounded? What does the consultation cost, and what do follow-up visits and lab work cost? Does the practice accept your insurance, and how do you cancel if you stop? Are telehealth visits offered, since the practice does not say? If you would be seen in Bennington, how often do patients see the doctors there?
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are weighing bariatric surgery or a medical weight loss program, want a surgical practice that also discusses medication, and can get to Latham or Bennington. It is not the right place to start if you are looking for hormone, peptide or longevity care, since none of those are named.
