Why Choose a "Bariatric Center of Excellence"?
According to a report released in 2007 by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the number of bariatric surgeries has grown from 16,000 procedures performed in 1992 to 170,000 performed in 2005. Faced with clinical evidence that the most experienced and best-run bariatric surgery programs have by far the lowest rates of complications, the ASMBS Centers of Excellence program was created to recognize bariatric surgery centers that perform well and to help surgeons and hospitals continue to improve the quality and safety of care provided.
At Sky Ridge Hospital in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Frank Chae is the Medical Director for the Bariatric Center of Excellence Program. As a "Center of Excellence" National Bariatric is at the forefront in providing premiere quality care to bariatric patients.
What our clients are saying:
"During my research, I learned about the lap-band procedure as a less invasive alternative to gastric bypass bariatric surgery. I searched for doctors here in Colorado and found The National Bariatric Program at Sky Ridge and Dr. Chae. I went to his seminar and decided this program could work for me. What attracted me to Dr. Chae’s program was the mandatory nutrition training in a formal class setting prior to surgery and the availability of post-surgery support from the nutritionist in the form of one-on-one meetings and group meetings with other bariatric patients. In addition, I found Dr. Chae to be a warm and caring individual, much more than just a surgeon."
