Barix Clinics (NW Suburban Com. Hospital)
"The nurses were absolutely wonderful!!! A few had the surgery themselves so they knew exactly what you were going through. I never felt like I was bothering them. The hospital itself is small which I like. Also, there not that many people there because of the holiday (Thanksgiving). I got to have my own room and whenever my family and friends came in there was more than enough room for everyone. Thank you BTC!!"

"Dr. Lewinski has done everything she could to help me lose weight for the past six years. She has always been understanding and very pro-active in my search for a weightloss solution that would work for me. She has been very helpful in getting me approved for the WLS."

"Today was my first Consultation with Dr. Vaughn at BTC Belvidere, IL. My first impression with him was very good. I thought he seemed very much at ease with his work and with people in general. I was the last appt. of the day so he was a little slap happy by time it was my turn, Thank you Lord. I am a very humorous person and that is what puts me at ease. The office staff was wonderful. All the way from the receptionist, the nurse and my patient counselor was awesome. The thing I liked least about Dr. Vaughn is that he is the least experienced doctor at BTC,as far as the WLS is concerned, but after talking to him for 2 hrs. and hearing how many patients he has operated on just since the beginning of this year and all their outcomes I was impressed. Should you have a consult with him and he isn't quite as friendly with you just know that he does have a awesome side. He definatley cares about his patients, at one point he got "teary eyed" while sharing stories with us. He stressed aftercare alot, and how important it is to insure your health short and long term. They do offer a very structured aftercare program right there at BTC. He addressed all the risks of surgery, from minor to major not candy coating any of it. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my consult. and feel very at ease with Dr. Vaughn as my surgeon. I felt that both his surgical competence and bedside manner seemed really good. He took time and stayed late and answered "All" of my questions very detailed and made sure I knew what he meant in english not "doctorese". He seems to be very competent in his field. My husband felt very informed by time we left. He has been awesome to support me through all this and I think it was good for him to hear all this from the doctor's mouth not just from what I've read or heard, etc. "
