We're glad to welcome Dr. Jerry Dang, MD, PhD, to the MBS Digest Editorial Board.
Dr. Dang is an Associate Professor of Surgery at Cleveland Clinic. He earned a PhD studying the intestinal physiology behind bariatric surgery, holds board certification in both the US and Canada, and has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers now cited over 3,000 times.
Here is why his seat matters for this newsletter.
He spends his spare time separating real advances from hype. That is the same job MBS Digest tries to do every issue.
In his words:
"I'm incredibly excited to join MBS Digest and help showcase the groundbreaking innovations transforming metabolic and bariatric surgery. This is an extraordinary time for our field, and I look forward to sharing the technologies and discoveries that are shaping the future of patient care."
New devices, new procedures, and new drug combinations are arriving faster than any one surgeon can track. Having someone who evaluates emerging technology for a living help shape what we cover is exactly the kind of judgment we want in the room.
Welcome aboard, Dr. Dang!
