Meet Dr. Frank Felts

Dr. Frank Felts, MD, F.A.C.S. Bariatric SurgeonKnown for his compassion with his patients, Frank Felts, MD, F.A.C.S. was raised in Houston, Texas. He graduated with top honors from Texas A&M University and at the top of his class at Texas A&M College of Medicine. He completed his residency training at Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas, serving as Chief Surgical Resident.

Dr. Felts began a very successful general surgery practice in 1988 in Jacksonville, Texas and continued this practice for 18 years.

He was the first surgeon in Jacksonville and surrounding areas to perform advanced laparoscopic procedures, including advanced laparoscopic hernia, gastric and colon surgeries.
