Patient Reviews
Jun 05, 2025
Dr. Skinner is amazing he did my TIF and endoscopic sleeve. He is a brilliant doctor! He told me he could help and I would be a candidate for the TIF to fix my acid reflux. Also, he told me I can do the endoscopic sleeve to lose weight. Dr. Skinner told me he thought the endoscopic would help me lose weight and maintain my weight- I have MASH ( metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease). Dr. Skinner is honest and straight forward, as I respect and appreciate his honesty. I lost 33 pounds so far and I am 4 weeks post-op! I highly recommend him! Thank you Dr. Skinner for helping me!
