With advanced training and a patient-centered approach, he continues to help individuals improve their health and quality of life throughout the San Antonio community.
Dr. Purewal earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine in 2019 before completing his residency in general surgery at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in 2024. During his residency, he distinguished himself as both a skilled clinician and respected leader, serving as administrative chief resident. His commitment to patient care and teamwork earned him recognition from the nursing staff as an exemplary resident, highlighting his professionalism, clinical expertise, and leadership abilities.
Following residency, Dr. Purewal pursued specialized fellowship training in bariatric surgery at BMI of Texas, one of the nation’s recognized centers for metabolic and weight-loss surgery. His outstanding performance during fellowship led to his appointment as a staff surgeon in August 2025. Today, he practices with a private surgical group in San Antonio and provides care across the Methodist and Baptist hospital systems, treating a wide range of surgical conditions while helping patients achieve lasting improvements in their health.
In addition to his clinical responsibilities, Dr. Purewal serves as an Associate Professor within the Bariatric Fellowship Program at BMI of Texas.

Medicine has long been a part of Dr. Purewal’s life. Raised in a family dedicated to healthcare, he was inspired by his mother, an ICU nurse, and his father, a cardiac surgeon. Their influence helped shape his passion for medicine and his belief in the importance of trust, compassion, and meaningful patient relationships.
“I truly value the relationships I build with my patients. In surgery, there’s a unique satisfaction in helping people in an immediate and meaningful way. Bariatric surgery, in particular, is incredibly rewarding because I get to witness patients transform their lives—regaining health, mobility, and the activities they enjoy most. That’s what drew me to bariatrics in the first place. In general surgery, I often see patients at some of their most challenging moments, and being able to help them recover and return to health is equally fulfilling,” says Dr. Purewal.
