Dr. Simpson delivers the highest level of safety and protection when performing Lap-band surgery.  He does not take his patient's trust lightly.  He does everything he can to produce the highest level of service possible for his patients because their well being is most important to him.  Surgical Specialty Hospital represents this devotion to his patients and is one of many reasons Dr. Simpson is your better choice in Lap-band surgery.

Surgical Specialty Hospital has advanced facilities and equipment

Surgical Specialty Hospital is where Dr. Simpson performs lap-band surgery.  Do you think the quality of a medical facility can make a difference in a patient's safety and the outcome of a surgical procedure?  Most people do.  Many franchise organizations performing Lap-band surgery do it as an outpatient procedure.  What is an outpatient procedure?  It is one that is done without hospitalization frequently not in a hospital.  The patient must go home the day of their surgery.  While Dr. Simpson certainly allows patients to go home the day of their surgery he can also keep patients overnight in the same facility their surgery is performed.  That facility, Surgical Specialty Hospital is a modern and advanced surgical facility.

Why is our hospital for Lap-band Surgery so advanced?

Because Surgical Specialty Hospital is designed for Neurosurgery.  In fact the facility is owned by brain and spine surgeons.  Dr. Simpson owns a percentage of  the hospital allowing him to guide equipment and facilities upgrades so they are also specialized for Lap-band surgery.  Many pieces of equipment are better than they have to be for performing Lap-band surgery.  This is because the facility is designed for Neurosurgery.  It has capable and modern surgical instruments, optics and lighting.  Modern laparoscopic tools used by an experienced Lap-band surgeon produces great surgical results.  This precision can cause there to be fewer and smaller incisions and less surgical time.  Overall surgical trauma can be minimized as much as possible, frequently causing recovery time to be dramatically reduced.

Have Lap-band weight loss surgery in a hospital

Realize that Lap-band surgery is proven to be the most safe weight loss surgery.  For a healthy person the risks are minuscule.  But, some of our patients have diminished health because they have been overweight for years.  Although these patients are verified as qualified for surgery through intensive medical examinations, their surgical risks are slightly greater.   Having their surgery done in a hospital specialized for Lap-band surgery brings peace of mind to all of our patients.  Many Lap-band surgery franchises offer only outpatient facilities.  Patients with health problems or minor complications at some franchises must be transferred to a real hospital.  One of the most important questions you should ask when researching a surgical provider is, "Where will I go if I'm not strong enough to go home?"  With Dr. Simpson at Surgical Specialty Hospital the answer is "Right here."

Our Hospital is owned by surgeons, not investment bankers

Most franchise surgery outlets are owned by investment bankers and they only understand the bottom line...profit.  What this means is their budget dictates the grade of medical equipment and surgical instruments they buy.  When you consider having any kind of surgery, you should research the provider and make certain they are using modern up to date equipment and facilities designed for your particular surgery.  Lap-band surgery does not require highly advanced instruments and facilities.  It can be done with mediocre instruments and facilities.  But you should stop and think about this.  Your stomach and digestive system are important elements of your physical well being.  Stomach problems can destroy your quality of life.  Do you want your quality of life affected by mediocre surgical equipment and facilities?  Dr. Simpson absolutely refuses to compromise the quality of your surgery.   He uses advanced surgical instruments and medical facilities.  Yet our price for surgery is the same as most franchises.  Oh, they will give you promotional discounts and special prices.  But when it comes to your long term health is their slightly discounted price enough to offset the quality of our experienced surgeon, advanced surgical instruments and facilities, and our Hospital?
