Barix Clinics - Michigan Hospital




The Doctor was very straight foward in every detail about the surgery and what to expect.
The office staff is wonderful, they never made me feel bad for calling and checking the progress of my approval or with any questions I had. The overall aftercare program was OK, I ran into some complications after the surgery and my regular Doctor took over and Dr. P did not have any thing to do with my care and still does not, I ended up with Blood clots on my lung and am now B12 deficient, so I see my regular Doctor for all of that. I did follow the diet to a T, the book they give you at the Hospital before you leave is a
GREAT tool to use, follow it!! I think the Surgical competence is the most important, the complications I ran into at first were my own fault because I did not excerise, I just laid at home thinking this hurts I can't walk today. and guess what I ended up in ICU for a week, so make sure you walk!!

he was serious about what he was doing, seemed very compatent and compasionate, very straight forward. I could tell he really cared for his patients. The staff were friendly, nice, helpfull and efficient. There was nothing i didn't like about him. If you are considering him i think that he gets a great deal of satisfaction from helping us. He was real thorough with the aftercare program. he explained everthing in great detail, answered all my questions. from 1 to 10 i would give him a 10. he had excellent bed side manner and competence. this is my own personal experience and impressions and don't know how other people feel but he was the best for me.

VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE IS WITH BTC. I HAVE ONLY SEEN HIM ONCE BUT THE COORDINATER OF PRE-ADMISSION CALLS ME ALL THE TIME. SHE IS JUST "WONDERFUL" HER NAME IS GAIL AND SHE HAS SUCH A LOVELY DEMEANER ABOUT HER. SHE MAKES ME FEEL AS THOUGH I AM IN VERY GOOD HANDS. THE OFFICE STAFF ARE GREAT,TRY TO GIVE ME ALL THE ANSWERES I NEED. ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT BTC IS THEY ARE TRYING VERY HARD TO GET ME TO WHERE I WANT TO BE. I'LL HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT AFTER CARE AT A LATER DATE.

I haven't seen Dr. Poplawski since July, and even then, it was only for 20 minutes or so. But I did like and trust him. He was very frank. And he took time to explain to my husband that he might have some conflicted feelings as I start to lose weight, and that it's okay. He assured my husband that I wasn't going to leave him just because I was thinner! I like that he took the time, because as it turns out, that was a concern of my husband's! Go figure.
The staff at BTC was very nice. Again, my experience so far is limited, but pleasant.

Was very happy with everything overall -only disappointment was with one care partner who put the urine collection "hat" on top of the toilet seat instead of underneath and left urine all over the seat when she emptied it so either myself or my roommate had to wash off the seat before we used it. Very unprofessional and unhygenic!! This has been reported to the hospital.
