The Staff

Big Medicine is taped at the Weight Management Center of the Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. Operating on the patients are the father and son surgical team of Dr. Robert Davis (father, a.k.a "Big D") and Dr. Garth Davis (son, a.k.a. "Little D"). Before the final determination to operate is reached, patients are examined psychologically by Psychotherapist Mary Jo Rapini. Often, patients with excess skin after their weight-loss is achieved will be referred to Dr. John LoMonaco, a plastic surgeon.
