Meet Our Team

Dr. John Souza

Owner and Medical Director of Balanced Aesthetics, Weight Loss, & Wellness

Dr. John Souza received his M.D. from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 1993 and completed his residency in General Surgery at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, in 1998.

In addition to maintaining a private general surgery practice and serving for many years as a consultant surgeon at the Dublin VAMC, Dr. Souza also established several healthcare businesses in urgent care, hospice, and sleep medicine.

Dr. Souza has a special interest in simple plastic procedures, including scar revision, PDO thread mini facelifts, and laser therapy for spider veins, skin rejuvenation, and hair removal. He also has extensive experience in bariatric and metabolic medicine, having performed numerous weight-loss surgeries before retiring from surgical practice.

He believes GLP-1 inhibitors represent the future of weight-loss management, as they can often eliminate the need for surgery for many obese individuals.

Dr. Souza and his wife, Silvanea, reside in Dublin, Georgia. They have five grown daughters and one grown son. They enjoy hunting, fishing, RVing, and international travel.

With Balanced Aesthetics, Weight Loss, & Wellness, Dr. Souza remains dedicated to helping patients look and feel their best—inside and out—through personalized, science-based care that promotes confidence, balance, and long-term wellness.
