Duodenal Switch Surgeons

This is the most current list of known Duodenal Switch surgeons, along with their contact information. Please email any corrections or additions, and we will update the list promptly.


IMPORTANT NOTE:

  • It is essential to learn as much as possible about the experience and credentials of any surgeon with whom you consult.
  • Use the resources found on this website and forums, other internet sites, as well as local meetings, recommendations and referrals, to help you decide which providers to consider.
  • At the time of your consultation, you should make detailed inquiries as to how many and exactly what type of surgical procedures the surgeon has performed.
  • Ask for specific information about morbidity and mortality rates. Any reputable surgeon should be prepared and willing to discuss these matters openly; as potential patients, we should never hesitate to ask for this type of information.

Best wishes!

There are very few surgeons performing this procedure in Canada, and their patients are being put on extremely long waiting lists, as long as a year or two or even more.
