Our Quality Bariatric Center
At Central Carolina Surgery, we are committed to providing the very best care for our bariatric center patients. A sign of our commitment is our extensive accreditation which is a marker of proven quality.
American College of Surgeons
CCS bariatric surgeons are Fellows of the American College of Surgeons. The letters FACS (Fellow, American College of Surgeons) after a surgeon’s name mean that the surgeon’s education and training, professional qualifications, surgical competence, and ethical conduct have passed a rigorous evaluation, and have been found to be consistent with the high standards established by and demanded by the College.
American Board of Surgery
CCS bariatric surgeons have attained board certification through the American Board of Surgery (ABS). Board certification by the ABS is a voluntary process that demonstrates a surgeon’s commitment to lifelong learning and quality patient care. Board certification by the ABS recognizes individuals who have met a defined set of standards in education, training, and knowledge specifically in general surgery and its related specialties.
American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
CCS bariatric surgeons are members of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). ASMBS is the largest national medical organization dedicated to metabolic and bariatric surgery. Its mission is to advance the art and science of metabolic and bariatric surgery by continually improving the quality and safety of care and treatment of people with obesity and related diseases.
MBSAQIP Comprehensive Accredited Center
Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program
Central Carolina Surgery is distinguished as an accredited MBSAQIP center in conjunction with Wesley Long Hospital. Achieving this prestigious designation recognizes that we have undergone an independent, voluntary, and rigorous peer evaluation in accordance with nationally recognized bariatric surgical standards.
