Allen Okrainec Bariatric Surgeon

Dr. Okrainec was fast and efficient has a wonderful bedside manner. I didn't have many questions but his presence was re-assuring. He came by the next day to check on me. Great experience.

I meant Dr. Okrainec 5 minutes before surgery and he told me Dr. Penner would not be doing it he would. After surgery I never saw him again, he did take time to talk to my husband before he left for the day. I was released on Sunday and I still had not heard from him. The nursing staff on the 9th floor of TWH must have been having a bad weekend as my experience was terrible. He seemed very polite before I went into the OR but I never saw him in the OR just the other two doctors that were assisting and I can not remember their names, it would have been nice to see him and talk to him after surgery or on the Sunday before I was released.

I'm two days post op and did not need any pain medication and am already at home resting. Dr. Okrainec was very professional as were the entire staff at TWH.

I loved Dr. Okrainec! I have no complaints, everything went very smoothly. I felt great the day after surgery and ever since. He was very pleasant and willing to answer any questions and concerns. He was able to put my mind my ease and was completely professional.

In Toronto, the Bariatric Program involves 3 hospitals. The initial interviews and follow up after are at Toronto Western Hospital, however the surgery could be either at TWH, St. Michael's Hospital or Toronto East General Hospital. Dr. Okrainec wasn't even suppose to be my surgeon, however the other surgeon from St. Michael's Hospital wasn't able to meet with me because of an emergency. Thankfully, Dr. Okrainec made time in his day to come talk to me. I was very impressed when I met him...he was down to earth, friendly, and professional. I felt very comfortable with him. I had already been working with the team at TWH, so I was thrilled that my surgery was going to be with them...and even more thrilled when they told me Dr. Okrainec was going to be my surgeon. The day after surgery, I was doing so well I could go home if I wanted to and I did. The next day, to my surprize, Dr. Okrainec called me at home to see how I was doing....again I was very impressed...and that is saying a lot considering I'm a nurse and often critical about the health care system. rnrnThank You Dr. Okrainec and the TWH Bariatric Team!

he looks really young!!! but after checking him out online, he is actually quite accomplished. I feel very fortunate to have him, and he has put my mind at ease because he will be the one performing the surgery.
