    Best Hospitals for Bariatric Surgery

    The best hospitals for bariatric surgery excel in offering safe, effective weight-loss procedures led by skilled bariatric surgeons and specialists. Exceptional outcomes, patient satisfaction and safety records are key indicators of quality in this specialty.

    Money’s 2026 rankings for this speciality prioritize these attributes. Money also graded each facility on how transparent its prices are by comparing its publicly listed prices with the revenue it receives from patients. Our price transparency grade is unweighted and does not affect the order in which the hospital ranks, which is solely based on the standard of care.

    This year, 75 hospitals have been recognized for their excellence in bariatric care, each rigorously vetted by Money staff to ensure the highest standards.
