I had already done my research on Drs Taylor and Wood for a year, including talking with some of their patients. When I found out that Dr. Taylor was going to be my surgeon I was a little skeptical but felt better when I was told that Dr. Wood would be assisting him in surgery. rnWhen I had my consultation with Dr. Taylor, all of my doubts (and some fears) went out of the window! Don't be fooled by his age, he is a very intelligent and compassionate young man who was/is very attentive to my concerns and my success. He told me the pros and cons of the surgery and to make sure that I take the procedure seriously because it's life changing.rnHis staff is very helpful and friendly. rnI'm glad I've made my decision and I'm even more glad that Dr. Taylor will be performing the surgery.rn
Well, I can see now why Barix Ypsi receives so many excellent reviews on this website -- the quality of care I received during and after my procedure was excellent. The staff was personable and friendly over and above any professional requirements, and everyone was very contientious and on the ball, even though the last day of my stay was over the Xmas holiday weekend, and staffing was bare-bones (I was the next to last patient to go home). Everyone I met at Barix seemed like a friend. If the corporate bigwigs from Forest Health read this, take note -- your employees are great, and they all deserve big raises! I would recommend Barix to anyone!
Dr. Schram was great. He is attentive, compassionate and caring surgeon. I was always in good hands at Barix Clinic.
I really am a very shy and private person and was nervous about my hospital stay but I was so comfortable and rate this experience as above excellent.
Dr. Poplawski was very friendly, and super happy when we met for our group consult. He seems sincere, and I can tell he enjoys the type of surgery he does. He had a very cheery sense of humour, and sympathized with all of our situations. It's as if he were moridly obese himself! -laughs-rnrnHis office staff at the Barix Clinic were non-judgemental and polite. some of them had even gone through the surgery themselves, and spoke one-on-one for additional support.rnrnThere isn't much to say that I /don't/ like, but I will tell you one thing about Dr. Poplawski; He doesn't sugar coat anything, and really hates it when people get hung up on small details, such as reverting to open surgery if 'scopic can't be done. I can't say as to blame him though. People should know all the risks involved, and if you're not willing to put up with something small, then perhaps surgery is not for you.rnrnSo far, I would rate Dr. Poplawski an 8/10. I wil know more after my surgery goes, of course.rnrn\"Doc, you've got a date with my innards!\" rn-hands them to you, beaming-rnrn-Carleen LeBlancrnBA Psychology, Honours.
So far, so good. Dr. Poplawski seemed very cool and intelligent. rnrnI did find the Barix Clinic Seminar humorous. The seats were extra wide -which is awesome...but the room smelled like fried pork chops. I also find it funny that you can putt a golf ball to EVERY fast food restaurant imaginable from the front door of Barix.rnrnIf I was a stand up comic, I would have had a field day with the scene.rnrn+++++rnrnUpdate - I had my surgery on 8/30 and only spent one night in the hospital. The staff was phenomenal. I enjoyed being in a Barix Clinic and not mixed with other patients. Great Job Barix - Ypsilanti!
Very impressed with the nurses, especially Stacey, Colleen, and Jojo. It was completely accomodating to bariatric patients. To go to a hospital that specializes in this area was very comforting. I was also impressed with the follow ups from dietician and the fact that they are on call if you have any concerns or questions
well my first impression was straight shooter, which is what I like. I like the bitter honesty I don't need someone who is going to hold my hand I like the extreme knowledge and no tiptoeing around the issues. Dr. Pop was a great surgeon to have and he is straight to the point. Now even after having my surgery I still feel the same way, Barix was and is an amazing place to have this kind of surgey performed at.
