Why Choose Us
There are many options for surgical and medical weight loss in Kansas City. The Total Weight Loss Center is accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program. This means our program meets the highest standards for patient safety and quality of care at every step. Surgical outcomes focus on weight loss and the treatment of obesity-related diseases, like diabetes, sleep apnea, and others.
Additionally, as an American College of Surgeons (ACS) Surgical Quality Partner, we have a proven record of adhering to the most rigorous standards in surgical quality—to minimize complications, improve outcomes, and save lives.
Research shows accredited centers experience lower complications, and better outcomes than that of non-accredited facilities. We do this while maintaining a small center with a patient-focused approach.
