Dr. Cynthia Paciulli is among the first Bariatric Surgeons in the United States to earn a FOCUSED PRACTICE DESIGNATION in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS FPD).
Board Certified General Surgeons with expertise, experience, and clinical practice within a quality Bariatric Program are eligible to sit for the examination.
The American Board of Surgery and American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery together defined the standards of practice, participation, and knowledge that are required to be identified as a surgeon who focuses her practice on Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
The purpose of the MBS FPD:
Provide transparent information to those patients with obesity who seek to undergo bariatric surgery for the treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases.
Recognize surgeons who have additional surgical expertise and dedicate a significant percentage of their practice to the comprehensive care of these patients including primary and revisional bariatric surgery, management of bariatric complications and endoscopy.
