Dr. Ali Khalil Fardoun is an experienced consultant bariatric surgeon and head of the Bariatric unit at Mediclinic Al Jowhara Hospital in Al Ain. With more than 25 years of experience in general surgery and bariatric surgery across Saudi Arabia and the UAE, he has built a career focused entirely on helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss through surgical intervention.
Dr. Fardoun offers a comprehensive obesity-management program covering all aspects of weight-loss surgery. He performs gastric banding, gastric bypass, gastric sleeve gastrectomy, and one-anastomosis (mini) gastric bypass using advanced keyhole techniques.
