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.

Excellent results. Both Vblock and VSG surgeries performed by Dr K without issue. Post surgery checks by staff has been great. Two years ago I was a bit apprehensive about the things that you hear about the surgery. Non of that happened to me and I’m glad that I put my trust in the doctor. If asked, Dr K is who I would recommend.

Dr. Kukreja and his staff are awesome!! I had gastric bypass surgery in 2015 and couldn't be more pleased with his work! He and his staff have been super supportive throughout my entire journey and I could not have asked for a better team to work with!

Dr.Kukreja and his staff are excellent. He explained all questions I had about my surgery I am 6 weeks out and down 50 pounds I am so glad that I went to Dr.Kukreja for my surgery. After surgery they called me once I was home to see how i was doing, my medical problems I had before surgery I can say i am no longer diabetic.
