His approach combines modern surgical techniques with careful treatment planning and individualized patient support. Each patient receives recommendations based on medical history, weight loss goals, previous treatments and long-term health needs.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy reduces the size of the stomach and may help eligible patients achieve meaningful, sustained weight loss when combined with long-term nutrition and lifestyle support.
Learn About Gastric SleeveGastric bypass is an established bariatric procedure that creates a smaller stomach pouch and changes the pathway of food through the digestive system to support weight loss and metabolic improvement.
Learn About Gastric BypassAn intragastric balloon is a temporary, non-incisional weight loss option designed to occupy space in the stomach and help eligible patients feel full sooner while participating in a structured weight management program.
Explore Gastric Balloon TreatmentRevisional surgery may be considered when a previous bariatric procedure has not produced the expected result, weight has returned, or a patient has developed a complication that requires surgical evaluation.
Learn About Revision OptionsPanniculectomy removes excess hanging abdominal skin that may remain after significant weight loss and can contribute to irritation, hygiene concerns, discomfort, or limitations in daily activity.
Learn About PanniculectomyNot every patient needs surgery. Medical weight management may include nutritional guidance, behavioral support, health monitoring, and prescription treatment when clinically appropriate.

Some patients may benefit from bariatric surgery, while others may be better candidates for a non-surgical procedure or a physician-supervised medical weight loss program.
Dr. Sergey Terushkin completed advanced surgical training at nationally recognized institutions and continues to provide comprehensive bariatric and general surgical care using modern minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Terushkin believes every patient deserves an individualized treatment plan. Rather than recommending a single procedure for everyone, he carefully evaluates each patient’s medical history, previous weight-loss attempts, lifestyle, body mass index, and long-term health goals before developing a comprehensive treatment strategy.
His goal is to combine minimally invasive surgical techniques, evidence-based medicine, and compassionate patient care to help individuals achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in their health and quality of life.
