 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Terushkin after struggling with a 10-month weight loss plateau, 50 lbs away from my goal following bariatric surgery. I was desperate for other options. I appreciated how direct he was, got straight to the point and laid out a clear plan.

Seven months later, I’ve reached my goal weight flawlessly. The clinic is beautiful, spotless, and equipped with very friendly, supportive staff. I’m so glad I visited last autumn. It was truly life-changing. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "I found Dr. Alex through Goal BMI, and it's the best phone call I ever made. I am 7 months into having the gastric sleeve and have lost just about  100 lbs. with no complications. The medical staff are the best and walk you through every step. I 100% recommend going to see Dr. Alex."
Almost 3-year update: today, I have passed my goal Weight of 200 LBS and am at 175 LBS.  I lost a total of 145 LBS—still no issues or Complications. One of the best Decisions I made was picking Goal BMI.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing Experience!

I started my process back in March and went in a little skeptical, hoping this would be the right place for me. I met with Dr. Alex and from the first appointment I knew I was in good hands. He is a great doctor, very friendly, real, and honest. He explained what would work best for me and guided me every step of the way.

The front desk staff is always nice and welcoming and the office is clean and organized. I also had some online appointments since I couldn’t always go in person and the process was super smooth. They work closely with other offices and specialists who already know what you’re there for which made everything easy and efficient when you go for your pre op requirements or clearances.

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Monday 10/20 and Dr. Alex was amazing. He met with me before surgery, after surgery, and again on the day of discharge. That level of care meant a lot.

Today is day six post-op and I’m feeling really good. The first few days were a little painful which is totally normal after surgery, but I’m healing very nicely. I’m already recommending this office to my friends who are interested in doing the same.

100% recommend Dr. Alex and his team!
