Dr. Girish Luthra, MD

Dr. Luthra performed gastric sleeve surgery on me. He was great, explained everything and had a tremendous bed side manner. If you are considering gastric surgery, I would highly recommend him and the group at Park Nicollet.

I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy performed by Dr. Luthra 2.5 months ago. I felt very comfortable having him perform my surgery after meeting with him. He treated me with kindness and respect, as an individual, a whole person. He spent well over the scheduled 40 minute consult and shared lots of thought provoking and informative recent research about obesity and weight loss surgery. I have had absolutely no complications and am so thankful for my new tool which is helping me reach a healthy body weight. My only regret is that I didn't have the surgery sooner. I have my old life back, active, and doing all the things I enjoy! I have already lost more than half of my excess body weight and am optimistic that I will reach a healthy body weight and maintain it for the rest of my life. The clinic offers many helpful tools and supports.

I have worked with Dr. Luthra for three months pre- and post-op for a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, including the treatment of a bezoar before surgery. I am now two weeks post procedure. In all my interactions with him, I have found Dr. Luthra to be wonderfully caring, communicative, and competent. I am so glad I chose him as my surgeon. If anyone is researching bariatric options, I would not hesitate to enthusiastically recommend Dr. Luthra. He is a fantastic professional.

Dr. Luthra performed an emergency surgery on my husband this spring and then followed that with an intricate repair of a 25 year old para esophageal hernia. We are so thankful for a doctor that we trust implicitly.
