How Surgical Specialty Hospital of Arizona is Different

In the last year Surgical Specialty Hospital of Arizona has performed more laparoscopic adjustable LAP-BAND procedures than any hospital or outpatient center in Arizona. We are proud of our surgical team: Dr. Terry Simpson, Dr. John DeBarros and Dr. Mike Orris, all of whom were selected by the hospital for their commitment to surgical excellence.

The hospital has a dedicated team of anesthesiologists - hand picked -  who specialize in surgery of the weight loss patient.

Surgical Specialty Hospital of Arizona participates in ongoing clinical research studies about the LAP-BAND.

The surgical site infection rate at Surgical Specialty Hospital is less than one percent, one of the lowest in the nation.
