About Rodrick D. McKinlay, M.D., F.A.C.S. - Salt Lake City,
Utah (UT)
Weight Loss Surgery since 1979
Dr. Rodrick McKinlay joins Rocky Mountain Associated Physicians as a board certified general surgeon with expertise in minimally invasive—or laparoscopic—surgery. Dr. McKinlay has developed a keen interest in gastric bypass surgery, as it has the potential to cure or improve many conditions associated with excess weight, such as diabetes, sleep apnea, joint-related problems, and high blood pressure, with a single procedure. Performing the surgery laparoscopically provides these benefits in the least invasive manner available today. In addition to the surgical treatment of obesity, his practice involves a wide range of minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery, including hernia repair, gallbladder removal, and the surgical treatment of spleen and adrenal disorders.
Dr. McKinlay graduated summa cum laude from Brigham Young University in 1993 and then received his medical degree from the University of Utah in 1997, where he graduated with honors in medicine and surgery. After completing General Surgery residency at the University of Arizona, he began a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) fellowship at the University of Kentucky, focusing on research and technological developments of MIS. He concluded the clinical portion of the fellowship at the University of Maryland .
In addition to striving for top-quality surgical care using the latest technology, Dr. McKinlay emphasizes treating the whole patient with respect and attention to detail. Seeing the change that can occur in a patient's life after weight loss or other surgery is what he enjoys most about caring for patients.
He loves to spend time with his family, especially in the outdoors. He particularly enjoys playing soccer, running, and skiing. Fluent in Spanish, he also enjoys literature and the arts.
