My experience with Dr. Kukreja and his medical staff was very professional from the initial visit in January 2022 to present. I went in to speak with Dr. Kukreja about the gastric sleeve. I weighed in at 246 pounds. I was depressed with low self-esteem. I felt so unattractive. On top of that I had puffy ankles due to swelling. I was a borderline diabetic taking Metformin, along with other high blood pressure meds. I was so ready for this surgery. Finally, the DFW Bariatrics medical staff got me scheduled for my surgery 20 June 2022. Its been nine months and I now weigh 189 pounds. I haven't felt this good in years. I feel attractive, confident and healthy. I get so many compliments now. Other than a little heart burn, I've never been sick since having the surgery. I'm no longer taking Metformin and a couple of my blood pressure meds have been cut back to half the dosage. My life has changed so much until I feel like I'm ready to date again. Thank you Dr. Kukreja and staff.

If I wrote a book, I couldn't say all I am thankful for thanks to the expert knowledge and care of Dr. Sachin Kukreja and his wonderful staff. No matter my question I am only a phone call away from the answer. My only regret is that I didn't get the Bypass surgery sooner. After 50-years of unrelenting pain and copious amounts of opioids, today I am pain free and feel better than I have in 50 years. No more pain or pain medication. I have a life again and look forward to each new day. Thank you, Dr. Kurkaja.

Dr. Kukreja and his team are amazing. I looked into surgery with them on 05/30/22 and had my surgery on 8/01/2022 . It’s now six months later and I’m down 100 pounds. I would definitely recommend them for help with your weight loss needs .

Best of the Best. Dr. Kukreja listens to your concerns, cares about your outcome, excels in his training and is available for crucial aftercare. Truly a good person and physician. I feel lucky to have him for my continued care for two different surgeries. Great office staff and a practice that has managed to adapt easily during the Covid years and still provide quality care.

Dr. Kukreja and his team are the absolute BEST! I’m approaching my 6 month mark and I have had an amazing experience with them. They’re always willing to answer my questions and they’re there to support you every step of the way. I’m enjoying my journey and can’t wait to see what the future brings. Special thanks to Jillian Robinson, PA!

Love Dr K, consummate professional. The beautiful thing about Dr. Kukreja is his wonderful sense of humor and his attention to detail. It's always nice to have our annual check in to see what progress has been made and/or discuss any challenges that we may be having. This was the best decision that I ever made to have him as my doctor. You're the bomb Dr K!!!! 💣💣💣💣

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 213 in almost Two years. My weight has been stable for the past 6 months. Thanks again Dr. Kukreja!!!!
