North American Duodenal Switch Surgeons

Below is a list of North American Duodenal Switch surgeons. Firstly, a shout out to Melanie M. at duodenalswitch.com for creating the original DS Surgeon List.

This list of surgeons should be a starting point, not an ending point, it is provided for informational purposes only; it is your responsibility to research your surgeons credentials, the hospital conditions and complication rates, etc. Never be afraid to ask your surgeon about his/her complication and mortality rates; any reputable surgeon will be happy to discuss those statistics with you. See our list of Questions To Ask Your Surgeon.

If there is a North American Duodenal Switch surgeon you would like added to this list, please use the contact us button on the left and let us know and we will evaluate accordingly.

No surgeon has paid to be listed on this web site and financial contributions are never accepted to be added to the DS surgeon list.

Surgeons who have an asterisk (*) following their name indicates that they perform Duodenal Switch laparoscopically (lap) on qualified candidates. Ask your surgeon if you will qualify to have the procedure performed lap. For more information on lap surgery see our section on open vs laparoscopic surgery.

To get into a MF (Military Facility) have your primary care physician write a referral for you and that will begin your process. I suggest you research extensively as to which MF perform DS.
