Surgeon Testimonial

Marek Lutrzykowski M.D.
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.

I 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.
