Dr. Lisa Dobruskin completed a Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Surgery and Obesity Surgery at Westchester County Medical Center / New York Medical College. Dr. Dobruskin is a Board Certified Surgeon specializing in Minimally Invasive Obesity Surgery Dr. Dobruskin has performed over 500 surgical procedures, including Laparoscopic Gastric Bypasses and Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Bandings. Dr. Dobruskin has unique expertise in a new procedure, called the Gastric Sleeve. This procedure makes the stomach smaller, without any changes to the rest of the gastrointestinal tract. Dr. Dobruskin’s unique approach to patient care includes the strong belief that every patient is thought of as a family member. “I believe that successful weight loss after surgery can only be achieved with careful multi-specialized care that continues throughout that patient’s life. When I operate on a patient, I consider that person my patient for life.”
