BARIATRICS

If your weight has started affecting your health and your way of life, and other weight loss methods have proven unsuccessful, it may be time to consider weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. Our bariatrics team offers procedures such as gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, duodenal switch, adjustable gastric banding and endobariatrics via surgery or hormone medications.

Accredited by the MBSAQIP

The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) works to advance safe, high-quality care for bariatric surgical patients through the accreditation of bariatric surgical centers. The program accredits bariatric surgery centers in the United States and Canada that have undergone an independent, voluntary and rigorous peer evaluation in accordance with nationally recognized bariatric surgical standards.
