Dr. Brian B. Quebbemann
Brian B. Quebbemann, MD, FACS has lived and practiced surgery in Orange County, California since 1997. As a nationally respected expert in bariatric surgery, his practice focuses entirely on laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. Dr. Quebbemann completed his undergraduate and medical school training at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine and then completed residency training in general surgery, bariatric surgery and laparoscopy at the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine. Due to his belief that a patient’s success after bariatric surgery is only maximized when state-of-the-art surgery is combined with a comprehensive education and support program, he created The N.E.W. Program to be the first truly integrated bariatric program on the west coast. The N.E.W. Program design is recognized in the bariatric industry as one of the most complete bariatric surgery programs in America.
Since then, he has completed over 2000 laparoscopic bariatric procedures with an amazing track record of excellent weight loss and minimum complications. Dr. Quebbemann was invited to participate in the FDA trials for the Lap-Band® procedure in America, making him one of the first surgeons in America to perform gastric banding. Due to the high quality of his surgical program, his track record of safety and his acknowledged expertise in both the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band and the laparoscopic gastric bypass, Dr. Quebbemann has been quoted extensively in the media including USA Today and People magazine and has appeared on 48 Hours, The Early Show and other television news programs. Dr. Quebbemann is a diplomat of the American Board of Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a long standing member of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery and a member of the North American Society for the study of Obesity (NAASO).
