He was very straigt forward. He
introduced himself, and told me some about his background and credentials. I can't remember the amount, but he has done quite a few of theses RNY Surgeries. He was very
thourough in his explanation of the surgery,
using a board to illustrate as he talked. At
one point I felt like he was trying to talk
me out of the surgery, he was honestly letting me know what was ahead. He told me this wasn't a magic pill , that there was
a lot of work ahead on my part. When I walked in , I felt the staff at the desk appeared rather indifferent. Sort of matter of fact. All the rest of the professional
staff was very helpful, informative, and welcoming. Melanie Edwartowski is my patient
counselor, she also had surgery from Dr. B.
She showed me her incision, talked about the surgery, and the great staff at Addison. She sure was tiny. She was so happy, she said they saved my life. I am waiting for
approval now. Pray I get it. My hand is in the Lords, and I pray for his direction.
Well, guess what, one day before surgery
they called, and my Doctor had a family emergency, so I got (Doctor Poplawski), he was just great. He came in to talk to me before the surgery to see if I had any questions. Mona his nurse was great too. I asked him to play 5o and 6o's music while I was in surgery, he immediatly went and got a tape. Cool Hey, Hmm, I don't think I heard it though. Good drugs no pain. Praise the Lord for taking us through this.
Only thing I would have like was an after visit from him. BTC does have an internest that checks on you daily. Dr. Jeffers. she is a good Doctor, but a stop in from the surgeon would have been good.
My Sergon is Dr. Popwalski from the BTC "Bariatrics Treatment Center of west Michigan" In Halland Michigan. Dr. Popwalski seems to be very kind and caring. But also to the point. Witch I like. His Office Staff is wonderfull beautiful people all who have had the sergery themselves. So that makes them understand a whole lot more. The waiting room is outfitted with extra big chairs. Because after all were NOT skinny yet :o) So far I have a great opinion of my Dr. and his staff. I will keep this updated in the future.
I had my consultation on 1-4-00
my surgeon is Steve Poplowski at Ann Arbor Michigan.He is nice he was a little stiff at first then, he loosened up , he is nice
staff is ok, he went over everything very well of course I have been researching this surgury for 1 year so I had little questions.
I would give him a 8 out of 10
I think he is very competant and has a good bed side manner ,I am now waiting for approvel from insurance. office staff ok but they need to work on personality. when calling to check on approvel they were very cold, not all just a few
I liked Dr. "P" very much. He has a very straight-forward approach in dealing with his patients. He answered all of my questions. I didn't feel rushed or that any of my questions were dumb. I would recommend him to anyone.
As far as the staff-they have been wonderful. Both of the ladies in the office have already had the procedure (RNY), and were very helpful as well.
Steven Poplawski is my surgeon. I was very impressed with him after we met. He took his time and answered all of my and my family's questions. I felt very comfortable with him and that he was a very capable surgeon. He is very professional. I was disappointed that he left the Ypsilanti BTC and was sent to open a new one in Grand Haven. Nobody even called me, I found out accidentally. I did meet with another surgeon in Ypsi, but felt that Dr. P. is the better man for the job. Obviously I was very impressed with him because the other guy was gonna have to be like super-man in order for me to switch D.O.s. So I guess once I do get a surgery date I will be going to Grand Haven and I live in Canton, MI. It's not exactly close. A 3 hour drive.
I found Dr. Poplawski to be personable, extremely well versed in RNY ... a no-nonsense kind of guy while explaining what is done and what is expected of a patient. AFter that he i found him to be personable and went away from the consultation very happy with my choice of doctor.
I really enjoyed talking with him. He moved to one of the other sites and I decided to stay with him instead of choosing another doctor.
My first impression was that he would be very up front honest, and have a good bedside manner!
It has satyed the same every time I have met with him he has been very nice and honest!
His Office Staff are very polite and some have had the surgery and give you the oppurtunity to ask them questions first hand!
I like so far his being Up front!
He is a great Doctor and Knows what he is doing!
Very Much he says it is up to me but he will help in reaching my goal!
I believe so
He addressed them on my level and was HOnest!
I would rate him a 11 on a one to ten scale!
Both!!! He is awesome!
He is very professional. I thought he was cold at first. But as time went on, I found him to very caring.
The staff was very good in the office. I found it comforting that they only deal with obese patients. They had empathy. You didn't have to explain yourself.
My aftercare was excellent. The hospital was very supportive and most of the nursing staff have had the surgery. They could understand. I followed the aftercare plan very carefully. My overall rate is very high. I felt I was in very good hands.
