Marek Lutrzykowski Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

very professional

My first impression of him is that he cares about his patients and is a very good doctor. My impression have not changed and nor will they over time. His office staff is great and they can answer any basic questions you have. Their wasn`t anything that I didn`t like about him. His future patients should know he explains everything that you need to do before, what is going to happen during and what is needed after the surgery. He is the type of doctor who puts his patients first and is a little terror with the nurses at the hospital so you know you are going to get the best care in the hospital. He has a very structured aftecare program that he gives you before the surgery so you get to know it. He also wants to see you every 3 months for 2 years and also 10 days after your surgery to make sure everything is going good. He explained the risks and answer all of my dads and mine questions to him. I would rate him a 10 out of 10 based on my dad loves him and trusts him with my life and how he was during the time I saw him and based on other people who have had the surgery with him. Both his surgical competence and bedside manner are great.

If I had to pick a doctor by myself he would be picked just for the comfort level and trust that he can bring into the room.

If you are considering the DS, Dr. Lutrzykowski is the caring, straight talking, extremely skilled surgeon you need to consider first.I respect him greatly.The level of care was second to none and I would tell anyone interested in having the DS with Dr. Lutrzykowski to GO FOR IT!!! Julie was wonderful as well,her and Dr L truly care.

Dr. L is very low-key and made me feel comfortable right away. His office staff are busy, but they try to help me in any way they can.

Dr. L as he is called on the Ontario board and his staff are as good as it gets. If you are going DS (smart choice!), Dr. L is the caring, straight talking, supremely skilled surgeon you need to consider first.

I can tell you a few things about Dr Lutrzykowski. He is the kind of surgeon who goes above and beyond putting patients first, like postponing his vacation if he has a patient not doing well, he does not dump them on another doctor to take care of. The nurses at the hospital are scared of him, they will comply with his orders, they make damn sure you have your pumping boots on because there will be hell to pay if he comes in and they aren't. They help prevent blood clots, that's very important. He is in doing rounds every day, sometimes twice. When I was in ICU (due to low blood oxygen) I knew he was taking every precaution and my mom was kept very up to date on what was happening.rnrnI didn't lose my pre-op weight and he was pretty harsh with me (as he should have been), but I have to say after being his patient I have no reservations at all that he would not do anything in his power to watch out for and ensure my well-being. I have 100% faith in him as a surgeon above and beyond his stats.

My first impression of Dr. L was that he had a kind smile and instantly put me at ease. He explained the surgery to me in great detail and patiently answered my questions.rnrnHis office staff was fantastic!

When I walked into his office he had a very warm smile. He is not a flashy doctor. rnrn He genuinely listens to what you have to say and is very straight to the point. I felt safe and very welcomed. He answered all my questions and told me we would have another met before surgery to go over risk and complications, which I thought he would have done then. rnrnHis staff was amazing. When he examined me, I felt right at ease, which I never feel when around a doctor, and he had warm hands!! Very thoughtful! rnrnWhen he we were finished, he put his hand on my shoulder and said \" Ok my friend, I will see you soon.\"rnrnrnrnrn

When I first met Dr. L I was impressed with his no-nonsense approach. He listened to what I had to say but was quite frank about my condition and his ability to help me. He continued with his strong personality and professionalism throughout my hospital stay, commanding respect and compliance from the hospital staff and myself!! If he said do it, you wanted to make sure you did!! Everything was always done with my health in mind, which was VERY important to me. I would definitely rate Dr. L a 10 out of 10 as I could not have asked for a more professional and attentive Dr.

At almost one year out, I can not begin to express my happiness with Dr. L, Julie and the DS. I had great care from Dr. L AND Julie, was given a pager number in case I needed anything while staying in my hotel for recovery which I used and got a call back in less than 10 minutes!rnrnI have never been happier, healthier or more sure that I chose the right surgeon and right surgery for me. I will scream it from the rooftops, Dr. L is ONE MIRICLE MAN! The level of care was second to none and I would tell anyone interested in having the DS with Dr. L to GO FOR IT!!!
