Dr. Atul N.C. Peters — Vice Chairman & Principal Director - Bariatric in Delhi NCR

Dr. Atul N.C. Peters is Vice Chairman and Principal Director of Bariatric, Minimal Access and Robotic Surgery at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, Delhi NCR, with more than 28 years of experience. He is listed in bariatric and metabolic surgery and in general surgery.

His procedure list is the most complete in this field. Sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and mini gastric bypass are the three mainstream operations. Duodenal switch and SADI-S are the two used for the heaviest patients. Gastric banding, band removal and sleeve revision cover what happens when an earlier operation has to be undone or redone. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and the gastric balloon are non-surgical options for patients who are not ready for an operation, and metabolic surgery for type 2 diabetes is listed separately because weight loss is not always the reason for it.

He read MBBS at Christian Medical College and Hospital in Ludhiana and took DNB with a minimal access surgery fellowship at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi. His bariatric training began at the Covidien Clinical Institute in Shanghai and continued at the Bariatric & Metabolic Institute of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio. He trained on the da Vinci robot at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, holds FALS in bariatric surgery, and is an international fellow of ASMBS. He is also a certified fitness trainer with ISSA.

He holds Surgeon of Excellence accreditation from the Surgical Review Corporation in the USA, an OSSI centre of excellence designation from 2020, and a LIMCA Book of World Records entry for sixteen bariatric surgeries in a single day.
