Key Professional Achievements , Appointments and Awards:
We are very proud of the Centennial Center for the Treatment of Obesity,
a multi-disciplinary laparoscopic gastric bypass program.
We have been performing gastric bypass surgery at Centennial Medical Center
for the past 20 years. Over the past three years our surgeons have
performed more than 1,000 of these surgeries laparoscopically,
bringing you the most experience in Tennessee.
The laparascopic approach has the same great results as the open procedure
with shorter hospital stays, less postoperative pain, fewer wound
complications and less time away from work.
