Welcome to Peachtree Surgical & Bariatrics. Peachtree Surgical Associates are surgical physicians that specialize in Minimally Invasive Surgery and Weight Loss Surgery. Minimally Invasive Surgery such as gallbladder removal, colon surgery, hernia surgery and Minimally Invasive Thyroid Surgery are all surgical procedures aimed at curing a particular problem by using minimally invasive surgical techniques. What that means is that surgery is performed without making major incisions on the body. This allows individuals to have major surgery without long hospital stays and without major time from normal activities. There are no long cuts, so patients have less pain, faster recovery and improved cosmesis after minimally invasive techniques. For instance, a patient who has gallstones can have their gallbladder removed on an outpatient basis and return back to normal activities within one to two weeks following surgery. And since there are no major incisions, there will be no visible scars showing that you had surgery at all.
Peachtree Surgical & Bariatrics is recognized as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). The ASMBS Center of Excellence designation recognizes surgical programs with a demonstrated track record of favorable outcomes in bariatric surgery.
