When patients choose a doctor, trust is everything. In Dallas, where healthcare options are vast, credibility and reputation become the most important markers of assurance. That’s why being recognized as the Best Doctors by D Magazine is such a meaningful honor. It signals to patients that the community and peers alike trust these physicians with their health.
For the ninth consecutive year, Dr. Sachin Kukreja, Founder of DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery, has earned the Best Doctor Award in the field of bariatrics and general surgery. His colleague, Dr. Elizabeth Hooper, joins him in this honor, earning her second Best Doctor Award, reflecting her growing recognition in the Dallas community. Together, their achievements highlight not only medical excellence but also compassion and trust at the core of patient care in Dallas.
D Magazine’s Best Doctor Awards: Who Votes?
Every year, D Magazine asks physicians across Dallas a simple yet powerful question: “To whom would you send your own family for care?” Doctors in the community are invited to nominate up to three peers across 67 specialties.
The nominations go through a rigorous vetting process that includes:
- Peer nominations from practicing physicians in the region.
- Independent review by a rotating panel of esteemed physicians.
- Final selection of the city’s top doctors.
This process ensures that the recognition is not just another award but a peer-driven, community-validated badge of trust and excellence.
Why Community-Trusted Doctors Matter
In bariatric and general surgery, patients often make life-changing decisions to improve their health and longevity. The reassurance of knowing that their doctor has been recognized by the medical community consistently provides both comfort and confidence. For patients in Dallas, the repeated recognition of Dr. Kukreja and Dr. Hooper is a reminder that their health is in trusted hands.
