Patient Reviews
Feb 01, 2020
Dr Ku did my Gastric Sleeve in 2015. This surgery totally saved my life. I have followed up with him since then. I would not go to any other doctor. In my opinion he is the BEST! I have recommended him to 4 friends. One friends had a very complicated surgery, and he completed it successfully. I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in weight loss surgery.
