Meet Dr. Houston
Dr. Hugh Houston's passion for healthcare started at the age of 11 when he witnessed the positive impact his father and grandfather had on their community in Murray, Ky. He graduated from Murray State University, attended the University of Louisville School of Medicine, and completed his general surgery training at the University of Cincinnati—one of the nation's top programs.
​
Driven by the life-changing benefits of bariatric surgery, Dr. Houston pursued a two-year fellowship in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. He was among the first surgeons in the country to complete such a fellowship, dedicated to laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
For the past 25 years, Dr. Houston has dedicated himself to helping thousands of patients in middle Tennessee achieve healthier lifestyles.
As a board-certified surgeon and member of esteemed medical associations, including the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, Dr. Houston continues to be at the forefront of weight loss solutions. His early commitment led him to be the first surgeon in Tennessee to perform the duodenal switch procedure laparoscopically. He later became the first physician in the area to perform the non-invasive gastric balloon procedures. More recently, his passion for advancement led him to be the first surgoen in the area to fully incorporate robotic surgery into his bariatric practice, bringing patient comfort and safety to the forefront. As a result, Dr. Houston now offers the full breadth of bariatric surgery robotically, including gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, SADI-S, duodenal switch, and revisional surgery.

Beyond his medical achievements, Dr. Houston values family time, golfing, and coaching his sons' baseball and basketball teams. His dedication to community service is evident through his active involvement with Brentwood Baptist Church. Join Dr. Houston on your journey to a healthier you.
