Dr. Kukreja was very honest, personable, knowledgeable, and did exactly what he said he would do. My procedure worked and I am feeling much better. I am able to eat now without tremendous pain. My acid reflux has even dissipated.I had my procedure for hernia repair on February 24, 2020 and returning to work two weeks afterwards. The pain after surgery was almost nothing. Just soreness in the stomach area.Dr. Kukreja told me that the results may only last for five years. If it comes back I will readily go back and have it re-done. I would highly recommend Dr. Kukreja for this procedure.

I was referred to Dr. Kukreja by my amazing gastroenterologist after another surgeon suggested my only hope for a "normal" life was a feeding tube to prevent my reflux. Dr. K knew that my body was full of unique challenges and was open to how best to approach this situation. He discussed all of my choices thoroughly prior to surgery and we had a full game plan for what to do in the OR, depending on what he found inside. LINX Surgery went great...and then, well, that unique body of mind did something spectacularly weird. As soon as I didn't feel right, my first call was Dr. K's office. His staff scheduled me immediately for testing at a location convenient to my home and soon we knew that I had really gone off track. He immediately took me to the OR, fixed my weird issue, and I'm doing amazing with my new magnetic LINX! He also took time to reach out to other surgeons to discuss the complication. Totally me, not him!!! In the end, my body presented challenges, Dr. K fixed them, and I'm back to margaritas and tacos!

My experience has been great !!! I did my research on who I would pick as my surgeon, and I chose Dr. Kukreja. My entire experience has been great from my very first consult to my post op, my surgery was awesome, no pain, not even gas pain, his staff is phenomenal, especially Melody. I give him 5 stars !!!

I did my research before choosing a surgeon and he was the surgeon I trusted with my life. My journey has been great, no pain, not even gas pain, was up and out on day 2 post op. Looking forward to my future.

Had my sleeve done 12/14/2018...was a size 12 to 14 before all of this obese with HTN and prediabetic. Post sleeve- no complications one year later; i am a size 2 to 3, off all my previous meds for HTN, and leading that healthy life. I wasnt big enough for insurance to cover my sleeve so was out of pocket pay. There were a few financial difficulties along the way with some bills the facility billed me. As well as the facility doing the surgery thinking i was skinnier than the average patient having surgery done. But the wonderful office of dr. Kukreja handled all that with ease with no extra burden on me. The staff was always kind to talk to in-person or over the phone. Thanks to minimally invasive surgical associates i had a quick and easy recovery and look cute as a button now =). Able to fit into smaller clothes and control my over eating problems now. I still have full restriction on my stomach, get full quick without any side effects. I never been 127lb all my life, not even as a teenager. Thanks (yours truly, skinny patient).

I feel welcome whenever I enter his office. If you want a doctor that will sit and talk to you, but most of all a doctor that will listen to you and want the best for you in reaching your goal, then I absolutely recommend my doctor: Sachin Kukreja. This man is brilliant and wants the best for his clients. Your visits are never rushed and he is truly an expert in his field. Thank you Dr. Kukreja for accepting me as your patient and thank you for assisting me in my goal towards a healthier life.Michelle Nesbith-Sykes

Dr. Kukreja is no other doctor I know. Not only is he good at what he does but he is for the people. He is kind, straight forward, and brings a sense of welcoming during each visitation. He is one of two doctors that I have met that has a great bed side manner. He is always educating himself on new alternatives and studies. His office has a great group of people that work there. Stop by and go see for yourself. After all, you are shopping around for doctors and possible other options. 🙂. Margaret A-V

Dr. K has been a great bariatric physician. I've had multiple options I've taken with him and although the first was not at his recommendation but what I wanted, he obliged. I finally took his recommendation as I should have at the beginning and have been very successful! He is down to earth and does not treat you like a number but as a person which is great. You don't get that feeling that he's in it only because of the money but because he truly wants to help you. I highly recommend him. You won't regret it!

I’ve known Dr. K and his staff for over 2 years. They are such a joy to see when you arrive to the office. He is honest and forthcoming when asked. You don’t want a doc that is going to put you in danger because your a paycheck for a procedure you want someone to tell you the truth whether it not what you want to hear but it’s safer for you and your situation. Dr K and his staff stay in contact and provide so much information to help you be successful and achieve your goals which ever choice you make for yourself. I would and do recommend him to everyone seeking help.

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.
