Dr K and his staff are AWESOME! They have changed my life in a very positive way, it was as if i went to sleep for a little while,woke up in the hospital with some wounds on my mid section,and was released in a day or 2 now im 30 lbs lighter, no complications at all. if I didn’t know better and the wounds weren’t there i May think he didn’t do anything LOL Im so excited about my health getting better and oh yea one more thing, i have serious knee problems i was on a cane sometimes a walker and could hardly move,But now just after a little weight loss bye bye cane and walker is in the garage. Dr K is the Best Dr on the planet and hes my new best friend ,period

I feel that Dr Kukreja was awesome to work with. His office staff did everything to keep me informed on where we were with insurance approval. He personally answered all my questions. All in all it was a great experience.

Dr. Kukreja is the best. We meet back in 2015 at the Veterans Hospital in Dallas, TX. He performed the duodenal switch. I was at my highest weight about that time. When he and I discussed which procedure would be best, he was informative, compassionate but to the point. It’s a life change and takes commitment. Doesn’t work if you are just having the surgery for the weight loss. It takes you to want to change, take my vitamins and be honest with myself. I lost a total of 157 lbs and currently weigh 138.3. He will take care of you. As long as you do what is asked if you which is pretty simple stuff if you are committed in living a healthier lifestyle. I recommend him completely. I’m extremely happy with the outcome. But again it takes more than just surgery.
