I had a Hiatal Hernia repair done in 2013. Come to find out it was a botched surgery. I also had a lot of problems that occurred from this procedure. Dr. Elizabeth Hooper “repaired the repair” in December of 2020. I never had any pain after the second surgery and didn’t require an overnight stay at the hospital. The care I received was incredible!

Well I've only seen her once, and from what I saw she is genuinely concerned about her patients. Since she is my surgeon I will look forward to meeting her again. She seemed very sincere toward me and I like that. I wish more doctors/surgeons would show their concern for their patients.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Elizabeth Hooper on December 14, 2020 by virtual appointment. She has been so nothing short of amazing to me through this process. From day 1 I have always felt like I was an individual who mattered and not just another patient she had. Always informative and available to answer any questions I had. I had surgery last Monday, February 15 and feel so amazing in the 10 days post op. My mom, who lives in another state, also has raved about Dr. Hooper- a woman whom she has never met before. Thank you Dr. Hooper and the team at Misa Dallas for being such a great team and helping me start the journey of getting my life back! If anyone is interested in bariatric surgery of any type, reach out to the team at Misa Dallas- they can definitely help you out. May God richly bless you Dr. Hooper for being the amazing person you are.

Dr. Kukreja is awesome! He takes the time to explain everything and answer any questions one may have. He is very professional and has a very caring demeanor. It is a pleasure to have him as a doctor and to interact with his staff. My gastric sleeve surgery was two weeks ago, and I could not feel better. I owe it all to Dr. Kukreja. I have lost 10 pounds since the day of surgery and am so motivated to continue on. Can't wait to have a new body. Thanks Dr. Kukreja!

Dr. Kukreja is the Best!!!! This man loves his job!!! I have no words to explain how happy I am. I have gone from 350 lbs to 311 in 4 weeks. And I’m just getting started!!! This man don’t play. I’m telling you!!!

First time with Dr. Hooper. She was very focused and listened to my concerns. She gave some very good advice, nothing I haven’t heard before, but she did tell me not to beat myself up when I made poor food choices. I appreciated that very much, because I’m bad about feeling guilty. I will go back.

Dr. Kukreja and his team are wonderful! They’ve been transparent throughout the process, worked with my insurance, and provided top notch care. I was very cautious and selective when searching for the right surgeon...Dr. K and his team have been the best.

Dr. Hopper is awesome sauce!! She called me at 8pm just to follow back up with me because I wasn’t able to keep food down for about a week. She is caring, thoughtful and loves to see her patients through their weight loss journey. She makes you feel at ease when you are having a difficult time and I love her for that....????

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.

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.
