Barix Clinics - Michigan Hospital

I liked the hospital and staff. They have made calls to see how I am doing and that really makes a difference. There is also a number you can call at anytime and speak to someone there if you have a question, or leave a message and they do call you back.

The pre op and follow up care is great. The staff really cares, the dr's are great. Many of the staff have had the surgery and can relate. They only do gastric bypass surgery there and I believe that is a big benefit becase they know the tricks to care for gastric bypass patients best

I would recomend this center to anyone they know what they are doing and they do not surgar coat anything,you ask a question and you get an honest answer.One word describes it....WONDERFUL...GODBLESS YOU ALL

On April 22, 2002 I first met Dr. Poplawski while standing at the front desk waiting for the receptionist to copy my I.D., I must say I was surprised that the Dr. dressed in a white lab coat with his name printed on it would stop while passing by the door to ask if I was bieng helped. In fact bieng in the medical field unfortunatley you don't always see the "Dr's" doing such little things as that. So I think I was looking forward to seeing if he was as nice and laid back for the consultation as the first encounter. Keep in mind I have been reading all the reviews by clients and know going in what others have thought about him, so he was put on a show and tell pedestal in my mind. I had a totally diffent vibe from him. Basically my thoughts are, this Dr. knows what he is doing and can provide you a service if you need it and are healthy enough physically and mentally to have it be a benefit. But he tells you up front that there is a reason you made it all the way up the scale and into his office and that that needs to be addressed. So we talked alot about that stuff. But overall on a scale of 1-10 at this time I will give him a 8 1/2. P.S. He is very complete, he gave me a refferal for a consult with the endocronologist (for my Pituitary tumor) to be safe and said I need my psych. eval to submit for Insurance approval then we will make a SURG DATE. I am excited!

My only complaint about the hospital would be that they didn't have any private rooms, but luckily my roommate was very nice and everything worked out really well in the end.

Dr. Pop was very formal at first and seemed to be reciting from a script (I noticed this especially when I tried to ask a question "out of order") However, after a few minutes he seemed to relax and show his humor. He was informative and helpful. He told us about the risks of surgery and what life would be like afterward. It seemed that he was almost trying to discourage the surgery, which made me feel like he cared as much about my mental well-being as my physical well-being. He suggested that I go to a support group meeting before I made a final decision. I really appreciated his honesty and frankness.

My hopsital stay was great considering I was there for a major surgery and not a vacation. The nurses went out of their way to try to make me comfortable and one nurse even massaged my neck/shoulders until I fell asleep because I had a terrible headache.

Caring sensitive staff, knowledgable Surgeons, overall I recommend this hospital to anyone considering the surgery.

This was the greatest experience of my life that I would do in heartbeat if I was asked to go back in time! There staff was so friendly and understood exactly what you needed to be comfortable!

The rooms were a little small for two beds but the majority of the rooms only had one bed.
