Freedom from obesity is attainable! The key to success is to choose the right combination of tools and support within a top-level clinical program directed by a leader in the field.
Our interdisciplinary Bariatric and Metabolic Weight Loss Center meets this challenge in every way, and offers treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs, lifestyle, and goals.
The center is fully accredited as a comprehensive bariatric facility — for the care of both adults and children — by the new Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) of the American College of Surgeons and American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
MBSAQIP accreditation demonstrates our center's commitment to delivering the highest-quality care for its bariatric surgery patients (read more).
