Stony Brook Bariatric Center Chosen Best of Long Island for Third Year in a Row

Stony Brook’s Bariatric and Metabolic Weight Loss Center, part of the Department of Surgery‘s Division of Bariatric, Foregut, and Advanced Gastrointestinal Surgery, has been chosen as the Best Bariatric Practice on Long Island for the third consecutive year. The Best of Long Island (BoLI) awards are chosen by the Long Island public from 14 categories, including Health, Wellness & Beauty, in which Best Bariatric Practice is a subcategory.

The Bariatric and Metabolic Weight Loss Center, led by Director and Division Chief Konstantinos Spaniolas, MD, offers surgical and non-surgical weight loss solutions, including medical management, diet and exercise plans, counseling, behavior modification, and group support. The center’s board-certified doctors have extensive surgical experience and have performed more than 4,000 surgeries, including over 1,970 bariatric procedures (95 percent done laparoscopically).

In addition to its three consecutive BoLI awards, the Stony Brook Bariatric and Metabolic Weight Loss Center is consistently recognized nationally for setting outstanding performance and outcome standards. While many bariatric surgery centers are not accredited, the Stony Brook Bariatric Center has achieved top-level national accreditation (Comprehensive Center with Adolescent Qualifications) from the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP).
