Samaritan Surgical Specialists is a modern surgical practice based in Little Falls, New Jersey, led by board-certified surgeon Dr. Joseph Youssef. We bring together advanced surgical technology and a genuinely patient-centered philosophy to serve patients throughout North Jersey and the New York City area.

Our practice specializes in bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, hernia repair, foregut and anti-reflux surgery, and the full range of general surgery. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive and robotic techniques that mean smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster return to daily life.
