Dr. Benbrahim, Midstate Medical Center
Hi Paula
I really don't know how many he has done on his own. I only know he has done 7 or 8 at midstate. But knowing Dr. Reinholds reputation I'm sure he wouldn't sign off on Dr. Benbrahim if he did not think he was really qualified and competent. And as I said he has had no problems with the surgeries that he has done at midstate. The only problems we have had were with non compliant patients, such as not wanting to walk, not doing the breathing exercises ( called incentive spirometrey ). I did not find anything about the society of bariatric surgeons but he is a member of several other groups.
American College of Surgeons
American Hernia Society
American Society of Breast Surgeons
American Society of General Surgeons
Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons
Society of Surgical Oncology
Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons
I hope this helps a little.
