The importance of picking the best bariatric weight loss surgeon cannot be stressed enough.
Sadly, patients who do not take the time to research their surgeons ahead of time increase their likelihood of experiencing poor outcomes.
Do Your Research
The best way to ensure that you are receiving adequate care is to make sure that you are working with a hospital and surgical staff that has extensive experience performing your surgery.
Schedule a consultation to interview potential surgeons to make sure that they are professional and prepared to offer exceptional care and service.
High Risk Surgeries
Among some of the highest risk surgeries is bariatric surgery.
However, many studies indicate that less than four out of 10 hospitals currently meet minimum standards for a safe and effective weight loss surgery procedure.
In fact, in studies conducted by Leapfrog, only 45 percent of hospitals took the time to ensure that bariatric surgery was a necessary procedure to treat their patients.
This is important to consider that weight loss surgery may not always be the best option for patients looking to address unwanted body weight.
Weight Loss Options
At Maryland Bariatrics we take the time to sit down with our patients and evaluate their weight loss options.
This is based on the current and past health history of the patient.
We are proud to offer a range of weight loss options, surgical and otherwise for our patient population.
We believe that the best way to treat patients is to treat them on an individual basis.
This creates a productive and effective environment where we can best serve the needs of our patients to have a successful weight loss journey based on their individual needs.
