Barix Clinics - Michigan Hospital
he was serious about what he was doing, seemed very compatent and compasionate, very straight forward. I could tell he really cared for his patients. The staff were friendly, nice, helpfull and efficient. There was nothing i didn't like about him. If you are considering him i think that he gets a great deal of satisfaction from helping us. He was real thorough with the aftercare program. he explained everthing in great detail, answered all my questions. from 1 to 10 i would give him a 10. he had excellent bed side manner and competence. this is my own personal experience and impressions and don't know how other people feel but he was the best for me.
VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE IS WITH BTC. I HAVE ONLY SEEN HIM ONCE BUT THE COORDINATER OF PRE-ADMISSION CALLS ME ALL THE TIME. SHE IS JUST "WONDERFUL" HER NAME IS GAIL AND SHE HAS SUCH A LOVELY DEMEANER ABOUT HER. SHE MAKES ME FEEL AS THOUGH I AM IN VERY GOOD HANDS. THE OFFICE STAFF ARE GREAT,TRY TO GIVE ME ALL THE ANSWERES I NEED. ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT BTC IS THEY ARE TRYING VERY HARD TO GET ME TO WHERE I WANT TO BE. I'LL HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT AFTER CARE AT A LATER DATE.
I haven't seen Dr. Poplawski since July, and even then, it was only for 20 minutes or so. But I did like and trust him. He was very frank. And he took time to explain to my husband that he might have some conflicted feelings as I start to lose weight, and that it's okay. He assured my husband that I wasn't going to leave him just because I was thinner! I like that he took the time, because as it turns out, that was a concern of my husband's! Go figure.
The staff at BTC was very nice. Again, my experience so far is limited, but pleasant.
Was very happy with everything overall -only disappointment was with one care partner who put the urine collection "hat" on top of the toilet seat instead of underneath and left urine all over the seat when she emptied it so either myself or my roommate had to wash off the seat before we used it. Very unprofessional and unhygenic!! This has been reported to the hospital.
I met him on my first visit to Bariatric Treatment Center. I liked him. Very experienced. I was surprised that he wanted me to see a cardiologist, a pulmonary specialist, complete a sleep apnea study and also a psychological (BCBS requires this). That was 29 July 2002. Surgery scheduled for 07 November 2002. I had all of the reports sent to my primary care physician who forwarded the results to Bariatric Center. Dr. Poplawski would not approve me for surgery until all tests were completed and reports received. I had to jump through hoops but I feel that my surgery is low risk because he made sure my heart and lungs were in great shape for surgery.
