About GoalBMI

What is GoalBMI?

GoalBMI, General And Bariatric Surgery, is a surgical practice at 480 Court St, Brooklyn, NY 11231. Its prescribers are Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS, and Dr. Alexander Abdurakhmanov, MD. Dr. Terushkin's biography gives more than 15 years of experience. The homepage marks the practice as operating since 2010. Google rates it 4.9 from 169 reviews, under the category weight loss service. The practice names Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island as areas it serves, along with the wider New York City area.

Its main work is bariatric and general surgery. The surgical list includes gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, intragastric balloon, gastric band, revisional bariatric surgery, tummy tuck after weight loss, panniculectomy, hernia surgery and gallbladder surgery. Medical weight management covers Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound injections, and virtual consultations are offered for Ozempic (semaglutide) injections. The site includes a Peptide Calculator Hub, but no peptide therapy service is listed among its procedures, and neither is hormone or longevity care. The phone is (347) 830-3003, and the office is open Monday to Friday, 9AM to 5PM.

This listing is for its Brooklyn office at 480 Court St.

What does it cost?

It does not publish a consultation fee. For patients without insurance coverage, it offers self-pay, and in its own words: "we offer self-pay packages designed to fit your budget." Its injection and surgery sections include cost and self-pay information, so ask for the exact figure that applies to you. Financing is mentioned for gallbladder surgery. It does not say whether an injection price includes the medication, and it does not say which insurance plans it accepts. Ask both questions before you agree to anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription for your injections and who sees you at follow-up, since two physicians are named. Ask whether the price includes the medication, and whether the product is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are included in the package. If you would consider a virtual consultation, ask which states the clinic can see patients in, because it does not name them. If you want peptide, hormone or longevity care, ask whether any of it is offered, since none is listed as a service. For surgery, ask what the self-pay price covers, such as the operation, anesthesia, the hospital stay and follow-up visits. Finally, ask how a package is cancelled and whether any part of the fee is refundable.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are considering bariatric or general surgery in Brooklyn and want a surgical practice where surgery is the main work, with medical weight management as one of its services. If you are mainly after injections, hormone care, peptide therapy or longevity medicine, ask those questions first and get the answers in writing before you book.
