Whether you are looking to undergo a weight loss surgery or other advanced laparoscopic surgery, or even any of the many other surgical procedures Dr. Brackman performs, you probably share the concerns of most patients; safety and quality. How best does one determine whether the surgeon in whose hands you are about to place your very life possesses the experience, skill, and dedication you deserve? Consider the following:
Excellence and breadth of training: Dr. Brackman
completed his undergraduate and medical education at Tufts University and
Boston
University; each in the top 25 of
U.S. universities. His residency work,

legendary Boston City Hospital, as well as the Washington
Hospital Center and The Ohio State Medical Center in
Columbus, Ohio for fellowship training.
Dedication to the field of interest: Dr. Brackman has performed extensive research in the fields of advanced laparoscopy and bariatric surgery; publishing this research in top scientific journals including: Obesity Surgery, Contemporary Surgery, Journal of Laparoscopic and Advanced Surgical Techniques, and American Surgeon.

Various teaching positions have included posts at the Boston University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland.
Experience: Dr. Brackman has been performing advanced laparoscopic and bariatric surgery for over nine years, more than most surgeons on Long Island, most of whom received no formal training in bariatric surgery. Thousands of bariatric surgical patients have come under his care. He has performed most major bariatric and advanced laparoscopic procedures, having worked with many of the finest surgeons at some of the leading institutions in the country: The Boston Medical Center, The Washington Hospital Center, The Ohio State Medical Center, The Carolinas Medical Center, and North Shore/Long Island Jewish Hospital. Dr. Brackman is Board certified by the American College of Surgeons, and an active member of The American Society for Bariatric Surgeons, the Nassau County Medical Society, and the Medical Society of the State of New York.
Commitment to Long Island and beyond: We have established offices in both Nassau and Suffolk counties to serve all of Long Island's residents, and in two locations along the Canadian border to serve our neighbors to the north. We believe in uncompromised dedication to patients and frequently see patients around their busy work schedules. Despite some of the most lofty credentials of any surgeon in New York, Dr. Brackman prefers to be considered your friend in bariatric surgery; honoring the trust patients place in him.
