Lyudmila S. Pupkova Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

at first i saw this tiny woman and thought what does she know about fat people? then after meeting with her she knew more that just what textbooks taught her. she is wonderful and sweet. she greets me with a hug at every visit.she is also excellent at follow up visits and very through asking just the right questions to make sure you are ok and reassuring you that you are doing fine. i would rate her very high. she is a more than competent surgen and has a great bedside manner. now i know she was the best choice for me and know she is the best in her field.at the barix clinic suppport group meetings she is admired and after almost a yoear of attending the monthly meetings i ahave never heard anything bad about her,only raves for the excellent care we recieved from dr p

Dr. Pupkova was great! She is honest, but nice and really is there to help you! Every time you go to see her she gives you a hug, and really makes you feel good. The staff at the Barix Clinic in Langhorne, PA is great! Everyone was very friendly and helpful from the start to the day of surgery and even when I went for my follow up. I would rate both Dr. Pupkova and the Barix Clinic a 10....everything was great!

she was the best and i couldn't have felt more comfortable with another surgeon i had a list written out of 20 questions and she answered all of my questions without hesitation..i left her office more ecstatic then when i came in

Dr. Pupkova has been wonderful. She is a no nonsense person who will tell you like it is but in a way that lets you know that she cares.

Excellent! The level of care that this physician provided and continues to provide to me is on a level that I cannot even describe. People look for the doctor that smiles or the one that fluffs. I wanted the one that was skilled, concerned and had my best interest at heart. Thank God that's exactly what I got. She has been wonderful. You don't have to call some answering service when you're having trouble, you call her directly anytime of the day or night. I couldn't have asked for anything better!

At first Dr. Pupkova seemed cold and hard to understand. But when we ended our first meeting she gave me a hug and I was deeply touched. She took about an hour to review the entire procedure and details with me. She didn't rush me. I appreciated her taking the time to address and comfort my concerns. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give her a 10. She is professional yet has a wonderful bed side manner. I really appreciated the follow up call she gave me post op to make sure I was doing ok. She is cool, competent, compassionate and caring. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Thanks Dr. Pupkova.

Experienced surgeon with lots of knowledge to share. She had a lot of patience answering my questions and I felt very comfortable with her. I am looking forward to surgery. My consult with her gave me complete confidence that all aspects of surgery and post op care will go as planned.

The day I attended a seminar with Dr. Pupkova, I knew she was the right Surgeon for me. She knew her stuff and answered all of my questons that day and during my initial consultation. She is very confident and a no-nonsense kind of person. She tells you what you need to know and what you have to do to be successful. All of the information that she provided was to the point. My surgery went very well with no complications. She visited me within a couple of hours of my surgery (she was performing others after mine). She came back both days of my hospital stay. In addition to her Office phone number, she gives all patients her personal cell phone number to contact her if needed. Every appointment and meeting is ended with a hug. She's an absolutely wonderful person and surgeon.

Dr. Pupkova has been amazing, she thoroughly reviewed the risks, benefits, what to expect, how to keep myself feeling as good as possible immediately after the surgery. She called me directly after the surgery to ensure that I was doing well and availed herself. I am 16 days post op and have not had any complications - I was truly prepared with all of the information, foods and tools that I would need post op I would highly recommend Dr. Pupkova.rnrnI will tell you that she will push you - to walk and exercise while still in the hospital and to not rely on sugar substitutes (no ice pops, crystal light, etc., ) so that you are not trying to have things the \"same\" as before surgery - prepare to be pushed, but it is the right push.

Dr. Pupkova's heavy accent, which I believe is Russian, and her demeanor, was a little intimidating at first, but she is actually a warm and caring doctor who only wants the best for her patients.rnI have felt rushed at times with her office staff, but I think it depends on the type of day they're having. Having worked in a Surgial office myself, I know things can get hetic!rnI would recommend Dr Pupkova. I had no problems after my surgery and still continue to do very well, so her Surgical Competence is excellent. Like I said, her demeanor might be taken as \"standoffish\" but she really is not.
