LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Michael Feiz, lead physician at Dr. Feiz & Associates, is a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence designee. The ASMBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence program was started in 2004 to advance the safety, efficacy and efficiency of bariatric and metabolic surgical care. The ASMBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence program recognizes surgeons and facilities that demonstrate an unparalleled commitment and ability to consistently deliver safe, effective, evidence-based care. To earn this designation, Dr. Feiz provided information on all aspects of his bariatric surgery program and processes, including data on all its surgical outcomes.

Right now bariatric surgery is enjoying increasing prominence, as more people struggling with obesity have tried and failed to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. At the same time, the weight loss industry is more robust than ever, and many people have become frustrated by the panoply of false promises offered by diet pill manufacturers and unscrupulous medical professionals. Those same people still have reservations about bariatric surgery, and their concerns are perfectly natural; any time you go under the knife, it is important to have absolute confidence in the doctors performing your surgery. People should do a little research and zero in on a surgical center with a solid reputation for the highest standard of ethics, and a proven track record of success. In the hands of an accomplished physician, such as Dr. Feiz, procedures like the Lap Band, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass can help patients overcome obesity and set them on a path to a sustainable healthy lifestyle.

The ASMBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence designation is an important accolade, and one that is well-earned by Dr. Feiz. This award only confirms what so many of his patients have been saying for years: this is a bariatric surgeon who is passionately devoted to his patients' long-term weight loss, and dedicated to rigorous safety standards. His complication rate is significantly lower than the national average, and he has never had a mortality! Of course, even the ASMBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence designation is not a guarantee of perfection, and Dr. Feiz is the kind of responsible surgeon who meticulously lays out all the potential benefits AND risks of any procedure to a patient before proceeding. It's exactly that commitment to candor that his patients appreciate so much.
