Dr Pupkova is an absolutely amazing doctor. She did my gastric bypass surgery 15 years ago. I look amazing, I’m healthy and she saved my life.

She is the most capable and caring doctor I've ever seen. She never takes credit for the wonderful job she does. She is so warmand friendly and so experienced. If you want a perfectionist you'll never find one better. I can't say enough about her.

Dr Pupkova provides patients with exemplary education, surgical expertise, and follow up care. She has a deep understanding of issues associated with obesity and bariatrics and is both candid and warm in her interactions. She responds immediately to patients who call, and I highly recommend her.

I worked with Dr. Pupkova when she was practicing in PA. Her detailed knowledge of bariatric procedures allows her patients to feel at ease and to know that questions will be answered thoroughly and honestly. Her availability for questions post op is incredible. I would strongly recommend Dr. Pupkova to anyone considering bariatric surgery.
