The Institute of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Dr. Luis Betances emerged in 2003. Formed by a multidisciplinary team of highly trained professionals, with the common goal of providing definitive treatment to those patients affected by severe obesity, accompanied by periodic monitoring that ensures healthy weight loss.
The Institute’s center of operations is the Center for Diagnosis, Advanced Medicine, Medical Conferences and Telemedicine (CEDIMAT) in Santo Domingo; The Northern Medical Union and the Santiago Metropolitan Hospital (HOMS), in Santiago de los Caballeros.
We believe extraordinary patient care is the key to weight loss success. This is why we take a holistic approach to healthcare to ensure that our patients understand their options and are empowered by their choices. As a team, we help patients live happier, healthier and more active lives.
We are the only institution in Central America and the Caribbean that has received the mention Total Patient Care and we are currently one step away from being classified as a Center of Excellence.
