Barix Clinic

Has anyone had any experience with one of the barix clinics? I think that they are the only one willing to do my RNY due to my past mental health diagnoses as a borderline personality. (Which I am more than stable with.) I have met with Dr Poplawski at the Forest Health Medical Center in Yipslanti. And He has experience (obviously) doing the surgery and said he has a low complication rate. But I was just wondering if anyone else has dealt with a barix clinic and had a positive outcome and outlook. And also, if you have dealt with them, which one was it and who was the dr?

i went thru barix for both my rny and plastics.  have nothing but positve experiences there.  my dr isnt there anymore who was dr schram but the staff is amazing and compassionate and knows the surgery process and what you need post op.  definitely recommend them.

 I had great care there But there was nothing in the way of helping with he psychological aspects. Vthose are the hardest and if you are already having some issues, you will need supports with this.  I encourage  you to seek a program that is comprehensive for this reason

 I went to Barix in Ypsi, had RNY with Dr Pop.  No problems until a a partial bowel obstruction at 3.5 years out.  He did a great job fixing it.  The staff there is great.  Send me  a message if you have any questions.

I went there for a consult back in 2003 and i found it to be very dirty...the garbage cans were running over with trash, pop cans all over the floors and the furniture was dusty.  The medical assistant that took my blood pressure had no clue what she was doing!

I will say..the doctor was very nice and he spent alot of time with me.  I would have gone with them if it wasn't so  dirty.


Again, this was back in 2003 and its probably better now

Best of luck

I had my surgery there in 2008 with Dr. Schram (who is now in Holland).  Unlike a previous poster, I did not find it dirty, but very clean.  I had a good experience considering I had some issues post op not from surgery but from pain meds.  I have recommended Barix to others. 

 I have my first appointment in Saturday. I live in Taylor and not sure were else to go
