Welcome to Texas Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics, a general surgery practice specializing in advanced laparoscopic, robotic, and bariatric surgery.  Joel A. Rodriguez, M.D., F.A.C.S. established the practice with the following goals in mind: 1) to provide thorough and compassionate preoperative guidance, 2) to achieve surgical excellence in the operating room, and 3) to help patients achieve long-term postoperative success.​

We are a designated Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). ASMBS has created a program to help highlight providers who deliver excellent care. The ASMBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence® designation helps identify where patients like you can expect to receive safer and more effective surgical treatment. This program is rigorous, comprehensive and increasingly recognized by leading government and private insurers when making coverage decisions.
