The Kane Center Bariatric Center

At Suburban Surgical Care Specialists/Kane Center, our bariatric surgeons and other surgical care experts serving Chicago, and all of Illinois have established an outstanding reputation for excellent surgical care for all patients. Our practice has, however, taken special steps to accommodate the unique needs of bariatric surgery patients with the establishment of Kane Center. Suburban Surgical Care Specialists/Kane Center is proud to be recognized by the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence and by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois as a Designated Center for Bariatric Surgery. Our practice spares no effort in catering to both the physical and emotional needs of bariatric surgery patients. We provide educational seminars for patients in the process of deciding whether weight loss surgery is the right weight loss solution to suit their needs. For current and post-bariatric surgery patients, we also provide weekly support groups featuring discussion topics such as “Problematic Eating,” “Self-Image and Self-Esteem,” and “Stress Management.” Serving the Health of the Community The Latest Surgical Techniques and Technologies Meet Our Talented and Knowledgeable Surgeons Professional Memberships Experience and Continuing Education Serving the Health of the Community Prior to his retirement, founder and senior member Dr. James M. Kane had been in practice in the northwest suburbs community for over 60 years. Since then, his son, Dr. James M. Kane, Jr., along with physicians Dr. Peter C. Rantis, Jr., Dr. Paul J. Guske and Dr. Jonathan W. Wallace, has continued to honor his commitment to performing surgeries that conform to the highest standards of safety and precision. In addition to caring for bariatric patients, the surgeons at our Northwestern Suburbs Chicago, Illinois practice offer all aspects of general surgery, including breast, hepatobiliary, hernia, removal of varicose veins, and gastrointestinal surgery. Our practice also has a special interest and extensive experience in endocrine, colon, and rectal surgery. The Latest Surgical Techniques and Technologies At Suburban Surgical Care Specialists/Kane Center, our goal is to provide the latest technologies that will best serve the needs of our patients, such as minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, 3-D imaging, stereotactic imaging, and robotic technology. Whenever possible, our surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures to facilitate a quicker and easier healing process. We perform laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder disorders, hernias (both inguinal and ventral), gastroesophageal reflux disease, and colon and rectal disease, as well as for surgical treatment of obesity and breast cancer. With weight loss from bariatric surgery also comes great gain. Freedom. Energy. Self Esteem. Confidence. A lifetime of happiness and joy. These are the words used to describe the immeasurable gains our patients have experienced through weight loss surgery.
