“Dr. Dobruskin is kind, patient, empathetic and always makes you feel well cared for. She has been my doctor for many years of this weight loss journey from surgery to managing my weight today. There is no blame and no shame as you struggle to control your life with this disease.”

“Dr. Dobruskin was simply fantastic! I was extremely impressed with my visit. Her approach is very holistic in nature, which I appreciate because I felt like she completely understood me and my individual journey. She is a brilliant doctor; her explanations were clearer than anything I found in my research. Most importantly, she is a wonderful listener and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. As an experienced nurse, I would highly recommend her for any of your medical weight loss needs.”

In terms of the doctor and the staff educating me about my treatment/future treatment, I would say it was the most thorough doctors visit I've ever had! Loved going to this doctors office! Would highly recommend!
September 24, 2022Sylvia P.Verified patient
I would highly encourage Dr. Dobruskin and her staff to all of my friends and family. I have stayed away from seeing a Dr for my lap band because of negative experiences with previous doctors. With Dr. Dobruskin's help, I am now on the right track again with my weight loss. She listens, and acknowledges that there is a lifetime of learned habits that go along with excessive weight. She emphasizes that a person has to cut down on the guilt as much as the carbs!
