Texarkana, TX (PRWEB) July 13, 2007 -- Dr. Ron Hekier, and Dr. Rachael Keilin, in Texarkana, TX, board certified in general surgery have received designation by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery and Surgical Review Corporation as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence. The Surgical Review Corporation states "A program's designation publicly honors it as being the best of the best. In becoming a BSCOE (Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence), the program has held itself up to some of the highest standards in the industry. The designation is indicative of the Center's comprehensive commitment to a high level of bariatric care."
The Surgical Review Corporation states further "Surgery is the only effective therapy for morbid obesity and its complications. A variety of surgical procedures can now offer not only durable and safe control of weight but also provide previously unimaginable full remission of many of the co-morbidities, including diabetes, asthma, cardiopulmonary failure, infertility and stress incontinence. After surgery, patients who were once disabled and wheelchair bound can be returned to full activity. Hypertension can be cut in half."
Whether caring for Arkansas Lap Band (http://www.noscales.com) patients, Texas Lap Band (http://www.noscales.com) patients, or those from Oklahoma or Louisiana, Drs. Hekier and Keilin have performed Lap Band surgery on hundreds of patients over several years.
Many patients have had successful weight loss and resolution of many life altering co-morbidities.
Dr. Rachael Keilin notes "Designation as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence is an exciting achievement and testament to the level of care we strive to achieve for our Lap Band surgery patients. We are proud of our accomplishments and those of our affiliated team members."
Wadley Regional Medical Center is the affiliated hospital designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence. Dr. Ron Hekier states "The level of commitment from the hospital, its administration, nursing staff, nutritional staff, materials management, and other personnel were instrumental in receiving this designation as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence."
