About Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery

What is Advanced Surgical Partners of Virginia?

Advanced Surgical Partners of Virginia is mainly a surgical practice, and its core work is bariatric surgery, also called weight loss surgery. It has offices in Richmond and Fredericksburg, Virginia, and is part of the HCA Virginia Physicians network. Its surgeries are performed at Parham Doctors' Hospital. The one prescriber the clinic names is Matthew Brengman, MD, FACS.

Its surgical options include the adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and duodenal switch procedures. Its nonsurgical options include the gastric balloon, endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (ESG), and a medical weight loss program. In its own words: "A medically supervised personalized weight loss plan working closely with our team to combine medical, nutritional, exercise, and psychological support." The clinic does not name the medications that program uses. The practice also offers general surgery and gastroparesis care. It says it has more than 25 years of surgical experience, and its Google listing shows a 4.8 rating from 186 reviews.

This listing is for its Richmond office at 7611 Forest Ave Ste 206.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, and it does not state a consultation fee. Surgery cost depends on the procedure, and the anesthesiologist's fee and any follow-up procedures can add to it. A cost estimate comes once a treatment is settled on. It does not say whether medication is included in its medical weight loss program, or whether self-pay pricing is available for that program.

The clinic accepts insurance, but coverage depends on your specific plan's policies and criteria. Its team will check with your carrier on your behalf. For patients paying out of pocket, the clinic offers self-pay financing that spreads the cost of surgery over a set period. It does not state cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether there is a consultation fee, and whether it counts toward surgery if you go ahead. For the medical weight loss program, ask what it costs per month or per visit, and whether that price includes the medication. Ask which medications the program uses, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask who writes and manages the prescriptions, and what labs and follow-up visits cost. For surgery, ask for a written estimate that lists the surgeon, anesthesiologist, facility, and follow-up care. Ask how to cancel, and what interest, if any, the financing carries. It does not say whether telehealth visits are offered, so ask that too.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are considering bariatric surgery or one of its procedures and want a surgical team with offices in Richmond or Fredericksburg. If you are mainly looking for medication-based weight loss, call first and get the full cost of that program, including the medication, in writing before you book.
