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 Patients Say
Actual Lap Band/Realize Band clients from the Denver area:
"After meeting Dr. Chae, my fear and any other hang-ups about having the surgery were put to rest. He answered all my questions. He even gave me his cell number telling me to call him anytime if I thought of anything else. These days, it's rare to have a doctor make himself that accessible. I also met his nutritionist, Kelly Elliot. It was clear she was a wealth of knowledge when it came to food, nutrition and the successful relationship one can have with food. I left with a good feeling about doing the surgery.
Surgery went well and I was home in three days. This was a complete life change for me, but I was determined to make it work. Armed with Kelly Elliot's post-surgery booklet, I've made it through every step of the post-surgery process. In July, I began working with a personal trainer. I attained my goal of 225 pounds on October 27, 2010. Currently, I weigh between 215 and 220 pounds. For the first time in about 20 years, I actually feel good about my appearance!"
