Choosing a Bariatric Surgeon
Choosing the right bariatric surgeon is one of the most important decisions you can make. A qualified and experienced surgeon can provide better weight loss outcomes.
Our team of bariatric surgeons offer a personalized approach to your weight loss surgery. We help you find a weight loss solution that improves your health today and in the future.
Bariatric Surgery Centers
Memorial Regional Hospital, Memorial Hospital Pembroke, and Memorial Hospital West are Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) accredited bariatric centers. We perform a high number of weight loss surgeries each year, and that experience translates to better outcomes for our patients. Because of our surgeons’ experience, patients also have fewer complications after weight surgery
To remain accredited, our hospitals undergo rigorous evaluation and reporting each year. During that process we must prove to the accrediting organization that we have great patient outcomes in weight loss surgery. We do that by providing reports on our:
- Bariatric surgery outcomes and follow-up services
- Facilities and equipment
- Patient education
- Surgeon training and qualifications
- Training and preparation to address emergency situations if they come up
