The Center for the Treatment of Obesity performs a wide range of procedures from gastric banding and gastric bypass to sleeve gastrectomy and scarless options for reducing the size of the stomach to "tune up" a gastric bypass.

All patients are treated by a multidisciplinary team of experts which includes nurses, psychologists, support groups and nutritional and fitness counsellors.

Horgan has performed more than 100 NOTES procedures.

The Center for the Future of Surgery team was the first in the U.S. to perform an oral appendix removal and was the first in the U.S. to perform an oral gallbladder removal as part of the nation's first multicenter clinical trial to compare NOTES to laparoscopy.
