A Message from Our Medical Director
At Orlando Health Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery Institute, our mission is to guide you through one of life’s most transformative journeys. Obesity is not just a number on a scale; it’s a complex medical condition that affects your body, your mind, and your sense of self. We see the whole picture, and we’re here to help.
As one of the only nationally triple-accredited Comprehensive Centers, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality and safety and provide advanced surgical options, proven treatments, and the long-term support needed for lifelong change. You’ve already taken the first step by exploring what’s possible — and from here on out, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Accredited Metabolic and Bariatric Center
Why Accreditation Matters
Accredited centers have been independently reviewed and meet strict guidelines for expert care and safety, with proven success rates with lower complications. Choosing an MBSAQIP-accredited center means choosing a team that puts your health and safety first.
We are accredited as a Comprehensive Center with adolescent and obesity medicine, under the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP®), a joint program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). This is a designation respected worldwide, recognizing healthcare facilities that provide safe, high-quality surgical care and quality outcomes.
The Orlando Health Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery Institute is one of just two facilities in central Florida (and only three nationwide) to be recognized with all three prestigious accreditations.
