Ehab Akkary, M.D.

A History of Putting Patients First Akkary Surgery Center has been serving patients in Morgantown, West Virginia, since 2008, but it’s more than its decade-long history that sets Dr. Ehab Akkary’s practice apart. From its inception, the center has been breaking new ground in Cosmetic and Bariatric treatments while simultaneously establishing innovative standards in personalized patient care. Unlike other practices, Akkary Surgery Center offers a rare combination of General Surgery using Advanced Laparoscopic Techniques, Weight Loss (Bariatric) Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery – all under one convenient roof. As Dr. Akkary explains, “We were the first to do quite a few things in West Virginia.” In fact, he started his practice at an academic institution followed by a community hospital where he and his team were able to achieve the sought-after designation of Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence at both hospitals. Dr. Akkary’s was also the first practice in Central West Virginia to offer gastric balloon procedures. Given his diverse background, the breadth of his practice should not be surprising. Dr. Akkary completed his General Surgery Residency training in Michigan and then completed two Fellowship training programs: Bariatrics & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery at Yale University, New Haven, CT, and Cosmetic Surgery at Shumway Cosmetic Surgery Institute, San Diego, CA. Always pursuing innovations that benefit his patients, Dr. Akkary continues to expand his credentials, pursuing Board certification in cosmetic surgery to add to his current Board certification in General Surgery while also pursing AAAHC certification. Dr. Akkary performs General Surgery (such as Hernia; Hiatal Hernia; Nissen Fundoplication; Gall Bladder Surgery; Splenctomy; Stomach, Colon and Small Bowel R
