Before you notice his credentials, his training, or his surgical excellence… you notice his calm.
His patience.
That quiet confidence that tells you, “You’re safe here.”
That’s the presence of Dr. Chukwuma Apakama.
Board-certified weight loss specialist.
Surgeon of excellence.
Master of minimally invasive and robotic precision. 🤖🔪
And a man whose patience is as steady as his hands. 🙏🏾
Before he became Mansfield’s go-to expert for complex surgical care, he was a young doctor crossing oceans — literally — to pursue mastery.
The UK.
The United States.
Three continents. Endless hours. Deep commitment.
All leading to the kind of expertise you don’t learn from textbooks…
but from grit, grace, and global experience. 🌍💫
General surgery residency at Columbia University.
Fellowships at Washington University in St. Louis and Cleveland Clinic Florida.
Training that reads like a world-class résumé —
because it is. 🏆
Today, Dr. Apakama brings that excellence home through procedures that transform lives:
Hernia repairs.
Gallbladder surgery.
Acid reflux and heartburn solutions.
Colon, stomach, and small bowel surgery.
Weight loss surgeries like sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, duodenal switch, and complex revisional procedures. 💪🏾🔥
But here’s what makes him different…
His brilliance never overshadows his heart.
He listens before he operates. 👂🏾
He educates before he recommends.
He makes space for questions — every single one.
His patience? Unmatched.
Whether it’s surgical weight loss or a non-surgical plan with nutrition and medication support, Dr. Apakama’s goal is simple:
Help you reclaim your health with the safest, most effective path for you.
His patients trust him — not just because he’s highly trained…
But because he’s deeply human.
Kind.
Steady.
Reassuring.
The kind of surgeon who treats your fears with as much care as he treats your symptoms. 💛🩺
So here’s to Dr. Chukwuma Apakama —
the surgeon with global expertise, local heart, and a patience that makes healing feel possible again. ✨💙
Mansfield, if you’ve been searching for a skilled, compassionate guide on your weight loss or surgical journey…
you’re in exceptional hands. 🙌🏾
