Dr. Michael Cherkassky has dedicated more than five decades to medicine and patient care. He began practicing medicine in 1973, building extensive experience across Internal Medicine, Oncology, Hematology, Bariatric Medicine, and Orthopedic Medicine.

Driven by a lifelong interest in health and wellness, Dr. Cherkassky began specializing in medical weight management in 1985. He wanted to develop an effective, medically guided approach to weight loss that prioritized patient health while minimizing unwanted side effects. That vision led to the development of the Sensotherapy weight loss system.

For Dr. Cherkassky, successful weight management is about more than losing pounds. His approach considers each patient's individual health, lifestyle, and needs, with the goal of helping them achieve a healthier lifestyle and improve their overall quality of life.

Today, his decades of clinical experience provide the foundation for Sensotherapy's approach to modern medical weight management and wellness care. He remains committed to providing patients with individualized medical guidance, education, and support throughout their journey.

Dr. Cherkassky has been recognized with Patients' Choice and Most Compassionate Doctor awards over the years. Those who know him, however, will tell you that his experience and knowledge are only part of what makes him special.

An appointment with Dr. Cherkassky is a unique experience. He is known for being genuinely caring and compassionate while also bringing warmth, humor, and personality into the room. He loves to joke, share a good laugh, and make his patients feel comfortable and at ease. His patients and staff have come to love not only the doctor he is, but the person behind the white coat.

After more than five decades of caring for patients, what continues to bring Dr. Cherkassky the greatest satisfaction is simple, seeing his patients happy, healthy, and enjoying a better quality of life.
