    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience with Dr. Sergey Terushkin and his entire team for my panniculectomy. From my initial consultation through my recovery, I felt informed, respected, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Terushkin took the time to answer all of my questions, explained the procedure thoroughly, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The surgery went smoothly, and my results have exceeded my expectations. Not only do I feel more confident, but I also feel much more comfortable in my daily life. The improvement in my mobility and overall quality of life has been incredible. The office staff was always friendly, professional, and responsive, making the entire process stress-free. I truly appreciate the excellent care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Sergey Terushkin to anyone considering a panniculectomy or other reconstructive procedures.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Dr. Terushkin and his team enough! From my very first consultation through my recovery, I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. From the moment I arrived at the hospital on June 18 for my panniculectomy, I knew I was in great hands. The entire experience was organized, welcoming, and professional, it honestly felt like boarding a cruise ship. Every member of the surgical team made me feel comfortable, safe, and confident that I was receiving the best possible care. Dr. Terushkin is an exceptional surgeon. His professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. My panniculectomy results have been amazing. After losing a significant amount of weight, this surgery has truly been life-changing. I feel healthier, more comfortable, and more confident than I have in years. It has given me a new sense of freedom and has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. A special thank you to Jesus, the coordinator, who made the entire process seamless. He was always kind, responsive, and patient, making sure all of my questions were answered and that I felt supported every step of the way. The front desk staff was equally amazing. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about their patients. One moment that I’ll never forget was having my drains removed. The young lady at the front desk stepped in to assist the nurse practitioner and held my hand the entire time, comforting and reassuring me. She helped ease my anxiety so much that before I knew it, my drains were out, and I barely felt a thing. That level of compassion speaks volumes about the culture of this practice. The care I received before, during, and after surgery was truly outstanding. Every person I encountered treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine compassion. It’s rare to find a medical team that combines exceptional surgical skill with such heartfelt patient care. Thank you, Dr. Terushkin, Jesus, and the entire team, for helping me begin this new chapter with confidence. I am beyond grateful for my experience and my results, and I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone considering a panniculectomy or any other procedure. You will be in the best hands.

    Dr Sergey Terushkin and his staff were great. I went in for a lipoma removal on my forehead. They kept me informed every step of the way. Dr Sergey was so professional and informative. I felt very comfortable with him. He made me feel at ease from the 1st consultation to the day of my surgery. Thank you for taking care of me.

    I am so glad I found Dr. Terushkin for my gallbladder removal. He is highly experienced, very sweet, kind and very informative. He was thorough in explaining the procedure , my surgery went very well! I didn’t have to take pain medication and my bellybutton looks better than before my surgery! :) Thank you Dr T ! If I ever need surgery again, I would go back to him without hesitation. His assistant Jesus is also very helpful and professional. I recommend this surgeon/office without hesitation.

    Amazing staff lead by extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring doctors. I came here after previously purchasing weight loss medication from an online source. The difference is night and day. Being under close medical supervision cannot be underestimated.
