    WILMINGTON, DE, November 09, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Christiana Institute of Advanced Surgery (CHRIAS) proudly celebrates over 20 years of excellence in healthcare, setting the standard for surgical innovation and patient care in Delaware. The center was co-founded by Dr. Isaias Irgau, Dr. Gail Wynn, and Kemal Erkan, the CEO of United Medical, LLC, and a pioneer in healthcare management. Together, they envisioned a world-class facility dedicated to providing safe, effective, and minimally invasive surgical options for patients struggling with obesity and related health issues.

Each surgeon brings a wealth of expertise and a commitment to patient care that has helped shape CHRIAS into a premier destination for advanced surgical treatments.

One of the major milestones in CHRIAS' journey was earning the designation as a Center of Excellence for bariatric surgery. This prestigious recognition reflects the team's dedication to meeting the highest standards of quality, safety, and patient outcomes in weight loss surgery. The Center of Excellence status is awarded only to institutions that consistently demonstrate superior performance in all aspects of bariatric surgery, from pre-operative care to long-term follow-up.
