History
Established in 2009.
Dr. Roller has performed more than 1,000 bariatric surgeries with various hospitals nationwide. "Our program continues to be held to the highest standards in patient care and outcomes. This bodes well for the bariatric surgery program, as many chronically obese people will travel far in order to find an MBSAQIP accredited hospital," Dr. Roller said. Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) combined their respective national bariatric surgery accreditation programs into a single unified program to achieve one national accreditation standard for bariatric surgery centers, the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP).
