The New Jersey Bariatric Center is proud to have been awarded the Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence designation by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). As a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, the surgeons and staff here have proved their unparalleled commitment and ability to consistently deliver safe, effective evidence-based care.

About the Center of Excellence program
The ASMBS Bariatric Center of Excellence program helps bariatric surgeons continuously improve care quality and patient safety. To achieve this honor, the New Jersey Bariatric Center provided information on all aspects of our bariatric surgery program and processes, including data on our surgical outcomes. The comprehensive requirements for the program, which was developed in conjunction with leading bariatric surgeons, hospital administrators, health plans and patient advocates, are verified through a rigorous site inspection.

What this means for our patients
A designation as a Bariatric Center of Excellence provides patients with a tool to distinguish between surgeons who have met the requirements for delivering high-quality perioperative and long-term follow-up care and those who have not. Through this designation, you can rest assured that the practice has shown our commitment to you and your long-term care and success.
