Mr William Robb is the Founder and Lead Bariatric Surgeon at Blackrock WeightCare, where his vision has helped shape one of Ireland’s leading multidisciplinary obesity treatment services.
As a Consultant Upper GI, Robotic and Bariatric Surgeon, William founded Blackrock WeightCare with the belief that obesity should be treated as a chronic disease through expert, personalised care rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Under his leadership, the service has grown to bring together specialist surgeons, physicians, endocrinologists, dietitians, psychologists and nurses, ensuring patients receive comprehensive support before, during and long after surgery.
His commitment to clinical excellence, innovation and collaboration continues to guide Blackrock WeightCare, helping more patients across Ireland access advanced bariatric care closer to home. He also plays an active role in surgical education, regularly welcoming consultant surgeons from across Europe to Blackrock Clinic to observe advanced robotic bariatric surgery, with a particular focus on complex high-BMI patients, SADI-S and revisional bariatric procedures.
