Jason LaTowsky, MD Ask Regional West Physicians Clinic’s newest surgeon, Jason LaTowsky, MD, about his family and in a flash, his cell phone is out and he’s introducing you via photograph to Heidi, his year old daughter. Dr. LaTowsky is not only a proud new father, but also a general, vascular, and trauma surgeon, as well as a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon. He’s also the nephew of two respected area physicians, retired surgeon Glen Forney, MD, of Scottsbluff, and Alliance family medicine physician Bruce Forney, MD. Dr. LaTowsky was raised on the Forney Ranch south of Gordon and is a 1999 graduate of Alliance High School. He graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and earned his medical degree at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He completed a residency in general surgery at the University of Missouri Kansas City and was selected for a fellowship in bariatric surgery,
which he completed at the University of MissouriColumbia. He, his wife Michelle, and daughter moved to Scottsbluff to be near friends and family. Michelle is a fitness instructor who owns and operates a personal fitness center called Healthy Exercise LLC.
