Barix Clinics - Michigan Hospital

My first impression of Dr. Pop is that he scared me, we were a couple of minutes late and when we came into the meeting he said well your late! But it only took a couple of minutes to determine he is very nice. His office staff have all been very nice. So far there is nothing negative he has been very nice and helpful. He was very forthcommiing with the possible complications, did not scare me but made me think. Overall on a scale from one to ten he is so far a ten. I am still preop so I hope he is still a ten after surgery. Both competence and bedside manner are important, if I had to pick just one I would want competency over bed side manner.rnrn

First Impression: Very caring, professional, EXTREMELY knowledgeablernrnOffice staff: Very supportive, professional, caringrnrnAfter care: stresses aftercare as a positivernrnStructured after care: most definatelyrnrnAddress Surgery Risks: very much up front, no holds barred, yet not in a frightening wayrnrnRate: so far, (as I haven't had surgery yet,) top notch, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best, he is most certainly and without a doubt a 10

Dr. Pop was a wonderful surgeon and made you feel completely comfortable about your surgery. He explained everything very well on what he was doing and answered your questions very clearly. I would recommend him to anyone that wanted the surgery. He has given back my life that I didn't think I would ever have again. Thanks Dr. Pop!!

Loved It just wish they had enough rooms so that everyone doesnt have to share rooms.

The staff, the accomodations... just everything was amazing!!! I couldn't have asked for anything more!!

As long as you dont mind the xray dept guy just pushing you into the machine and you dont mind some of the staff leaving you in the bathroom and them leaving the door open to the hall all else was good. The Adm came to see me personally when I complained about the xray exp, that was great. this probley would not have happened in a larger Hosp.

My first impression of Dr. Poplawski is great. I like the fact that he gets to the point and he has a sense of humour. I found all of the staff to be very supportive and friendly. I feel that surgical competence is the most important, but the fact that he also has a good bedside manner is a bonus.rnrnSo far, I do not had any unpleasant experiences with the Barix Clinic at all.

Dr. Poplawski is very personable and friendly. He is a knowledgable and kind. Wonderful bedside manner. He is also very busy. Sometimes to much. rnrnThe office staff is efficient and friendly.rnrnI didn't like feeling like I was on an assembly line. That happened a few times, but generally, everything was fine.rnrnHe was very open about the risks of surgery. rnrn

Good...I had to wait alot, which was very, very frustrating at times...but the staff seemed to be busy and few...But it was so wonderful to have the room to myself!

My surgery is scheduled for April 2008 so I haven't had surgery yet, but as far as things go as of now I could not ask for more. He is honest, not pushy, and makes you really think about the surgery before even going forward. I was very impressed with the visits I have had with him.
