Stony Brook Bariatric Center Chosen Best of Long Island Once Again

The Long Island community voted, and once again, they have selected Stony Brook Medicine's Bariatric and Metabolic Weight Loss Center as the Best Bariatric Practice on the Island. FourLeaf Federal Credit Union (FourLeaf) sponsors the Best of Long Island (BoLI) awards, which are chosen by the Long Island public from several categories, with Best Bariatric Practice being in the Health, Wellness & Beauty category.

"Being awarded the best of Long Island for four years in a row is a testament to the hard work of a large multidisciplinary team and highlights the commitment of Stony Brook Medicine to our community," said Konstantinos Spaniolas, MD, MBA, director of the Bariatric and Metabolic Weight Loss Center and chief of the Department of Surgery's Division of Bariatric, Foregut and Advanced GI Surgery. "Our comprehensive obesity program has helped thousands of patients achieve their weight-related goals, and it is a privilege to witness the success of all these patients."

The Stony Brook Bariatric and Metabolic Weight Loss Center's board-certified doctors utilize a multidisciplinary approach, and with their extensive experience - which includes more than 2,000 bariatric surgeries - they offer both surgical and non-surgical (medical management, diet and exercise plans, counseling, behavior modification and group support) weight-loss programs. Constantly recognized nationally for outstanding performance and outcomes standards, the Bariatric and Metabolic Weight Loss Center has achieved the top-level Comprehensive Center with Adolescent Qualifications accreditation from the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program.
