Following several years of development, recruitment of dedicated and caring team members, evaluation of various surgical procedures, and implementation of stringent patient care processes, our high standards and exceptional outcomes have been recognized and awarded the highest honor achievable by bariatric surgeons around the world. “This certification as a center of excellence has been the result of years of hard work by our surgeons, nurses, staff, and support systems, and is an achievement of which we are all very proud,” said Dr. David Treen, founder of the Surgical Clinic of Louisiana, and director of the Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence®.

Dr. Treen, Dr. Lundburg and Dr. Nossaman, along with West Jefferson Medical Center, are recipients of the certification as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence®, and continue to place quality, safety, and results at the forefront of our effort to provide bariatric surgery services to our community and referring physicians, with “compassion and respect”.
