Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) administers center of excellence programs for the bariatric and metabolic surgical specialties. In addition to accreditation, we also manage the world’s largest patient clinical bariatric surgery patient database. The organization does not provide medical care, treatment or advice, nor does it provide patient or surgeon referrals. The information contained in this website is not intended to replace professional medical care or attention by a qualified practitioner, and should not be used as a basis for diagnosis or choice of treatment.

While COE designations represent excellence, they do not guarantee perfection. As with any surgical or medical procedure, there are associated risks and complications with bariatric surgical treatments. Care is particularly challenging because morbid obesity usually involves a myriad of other medical problems that need to be addressed. Patients must also do their part by following their doctors’ orders to achieve desired outcomes.
