New York City, New York Apr 7, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - A top professional in the field of bariatric surgery, Dr. Eckstein is the Associate Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. He also holds hospital privileges at Memorial Hospital Miramar, Memorial Hospital Pembroke, Memorial Hospital West, and Memorial Regional Hospital.

Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital is one of the region's leading pediatric hospitals, offering a comprehensive scope of healthcare services and programs in a child-friendly atmosphere. A full-service hospital, they treat minor illnesses, trauma-related accidents, and some of the most complex medical conditions.

A native of Venezuela, Dr. Eckstein received his medical degree from the Luis Razetti School of Medicine, before relocating to the United States and completing his residencies in general surgery at the Mount Sinai Medical Center and Maimonides Medical Center in New York. After completing his training in general surgery, he spent another year studying minimally invasive bariatric surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Florida, where he learned the latest techniques in laparoscopic weight management surgery.

An authority in his field, the doctor is board-certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery (ABS). The ABS is an independent, non-profit organization located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded for the purpose of certifying surgeons who have met a defined standard of education, training, and knowledge.

Among his professional affiliations, he is an active member of the American College of Surgeons, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, and the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons.

Bariatric surgery (or weight loss surgery) includes a variety of procedures performed on people who are obese. Long-term weight loss through Standard Care procedures (Roux en Y Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch) is largely achieved by altering gut hormone levels that are responsible for hunger and satiety, thereby leading to a new hormonal weight set point. A doctor who specializes in this type of surgery is known as a bariatric surgeon. 

Among his various accolades, Dr. Eckstein has been the recipient of the Top Doctor Award in Gulfstream (2017-2019), On-Time Doctor Award (2018, 2016), and Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2016), and Patients' Choice Award (2018).
