The Bariatric Care Team

The decision to have bariatric surgery comes about only through a careful, deliberate process that takes into account all of the benefits and risks. Greenwich Hospital boasts not only a state-of-the-art facility, but a team of experts that is committed to helping each patient make informed decisions in all aspects of the process – before surgery as well as during recovery and after-care.
