My name is Dr. Tarik Al-Kalla, and I am honored to lead the team at Optimal Weight Loss and Surgery Consultants. My journey in the field of surgery began with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry from the University of Houston in Texas. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine in Lubbock.

I then completed my residency in general surgery at Michigan State University/Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, where I gained extensive experience in various surgical procedures. My passion for minimally invasive techniques led me to pursue a fellowship in MIS/Bariatrics Surgery at St. Luke's Surgical Specialists in Kansas City, Missouri. I have obtained several awards and accolades including 2024 Texas Super Doctors® Rising Stars, Best Doctor in Collin county D magazine for bariatric surgery multiple years (2022, 2023, 2024), Top doctors (2022, 2023), Michigan State University/Spectrum Health Emergency General Surgery Chief Award during surgery residency, and Intuitive robotic surgery proctor.

“Absolutely loved Dr. Al-Kalla !! It was a late Friday appointment. I’m sure he and everybody else were ready to go home, but I couldn’t tell !! They were professional and polite. Dr. Al-Kalla took his time and explained all of my treatment options !! I left feeling motivated and ready to lose weight !!”

“My surgery went very well. Afterwards, I didn't really feel any different. I was able to move and walk. So far, I have not experienced some of the negatives that others have, and I have already lost 20 pounds 3 weeks post surgery. Dr. Al-Kalla and team definitely did a great job in preparing me, the surgery and the after care. Great team!”

Kevin Thomas

“He is a fantastic surgeon. My mom went in for an emergency surgery for a perforated bowel and although she went into septic shock with multi organ failure, had to be care flighted to a near by hospital…Dr Al Kalla was so great about continuing to care for her despite not being affiliated with be the new hospital. He doesn’t give up on his patients and truly cares about their recovery. For that reason, my mom is still here and starting to improve after a lengthy hospital stay. He also makes sure to keep families up to date with how things are going. I trust Dr Al Kalla 100% and I’m so glad he is my mothers surgeon. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a surgeon and if you happen to get him for an emergency…know that you are in excellent hands.”

“Dr Al-Kalla is trully a remarkable MD. Since my first visit he has always treated me with respect, always talked to me in a manner that made me understand what my choices were and what the next steps are. Surgery was great and only regret is not having done it sooner.”

Jaylene Hughes

“Dr. TARIK AL-KALLA IS THE BEST !

I had to have my hernia repaired/removed and had gastric bypass only a few weeks ago and the ability I have to just breath after removal of my hernia has already started to change my life. I know he saved my life and gave me a new outlook and better quality of life to come. I am grateful he took me on as a harder patient! If you get a chance to improve your life with him as your Dr. Do it!"

Jessica Koch

“No question my wife is alive because of Dr. Al-Kalla. It was a blessing that he was on duty the day my wife had to have emergency surgery for septic shock. Dr. Al-Kalla’s dedication, expertise, and compassion have left an indelible mark on our family’s lives, and I cannot thank him enough.

Dr. Al-Kalla is a caring surgeon whose warmth and genuine concern made me feel at ease during both of my wife’s surgeries. His ability to combine technical proficiency with a kind and empathetic approach truly sets him apart. Dr. Al-Kalla went above and beyond in ensuring that not only my physical well-being was attended to, but also my emotional comfort during a challenging time.

Throughout this difficult time, Dr. Al-Kalla’s unwavering positive attitude was a beacon of hope during moments of uncertainty. His words of encouragement and reassurance instilled in me the confidence necessary to face each day with strength and resilience.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your exceptional care and positive attitude for my wife. Your presence in the medical field is truly a blessing, and I am fortunate to have had you as our surgeon. May you continue to touch the lives of many more with your remarkable skills and compassionate nature.

With deepest gratitude,

The Chongs
