I’m happy that I find Doctor K he the best doctor around Doctor K saved my life so I want to say thank you so much for saving me and giving me a chance to live my life if I had to do it all over I will due to I trust my life in his hands I will recommend him to anybody who looking for a change...

I had been dealing with severe stomach pain since November 2019. I saw so many doctors I can't count. It took one doctor Dr. Kukreja to say..." I don't know what I will find if anything, but it's worth a look". He found and corrected the problem, I'm so grateful that I was treated as a VALUED PATIENT then a chart number. I'm beyond satisfied with the service I received. Thank you

The best experience I've ever had during my whole life when needing medical care. Dr. Kukreja is wonderful and very professional and informative. All my questions and concerns were met with genuine respect and my procedure was quick and manageable.

I sustained a Inguinal hernia while working out. While this is a common surgery for men who are active, I did not want a common surgeon to treat my case. After a thorough search of surgeons in DFW (who are all very capable and wonderfully, talented surgeons); Dr. Kukreja just simply tops that list.My recovery was very important to me. Not just healing, but how fast I can get back to my regular activity was a big factor for me.Dr. Kukreja has the ability to perform this surgery faster than traditionally open surgery with the help of his Davinci Xi robot. This allows Dr. Kukreja to operate on me with more precision and speed than traditional methods, all without compromising clinical outcome.The result is a faster healing process with much less invasive scaring or pain.My experience was exactly as he said it would be. Fast, Easy & Virtually Painless. Today marks 10 days since my surgery and I’m back on my routine working on my mobility.Dr. Kukreja is extremely forward thinking and he values the use of technology to achieve results that are far superior than traditional methods.His staff are some one of the most committed and dedicated people I’ve worked with. I had some complications after surgery related to a completely separate issue and they went above and beyond to get me the assistance I needed.I would recommend Dr. Kukreja to anyone looking for a surgical experience that is simply above all others. He cares about your worries & concerns and he is invested in you as a person. He’s one of the top robotic surgeons in the county and it definitely shows.

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.
