What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Paplawski and office was OUTSTANDING. I needed to have my drains removed from my surgery down at University of Michigan. Maddie at the front desk coordinated all my care and was accommodating as it was the week of Christmas. Liisa read my chart and was so kind and pleasant. Dr P took the time to read my chart, and agreeable to Cory my care so I did not have to go downstate for a 5 minute procedure. He assessed my wounds, and was so professional and took the time to explain about the output of the drains. I cannot thank this team enough for the outstanding care.

Dr. Paplawski’s office scheduled me in a timely manner and the staff were professional and friendly. My first visit with Dr Paplawski was a pleasure. He went over my medications and testing. We agreed to book surgery and this was in a timeline I agreed to. His office followed up to confirm and went over the prep I need. Best experience ever for a surgeons consultation.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My emergency care I had to receive here completely changed my mind about this hospital. I’ve once had a Doctor who was very rude to me and of course, it made me not want to come back. But the surgery, the care I received, every day and night nurse who cared for me for four days, the friendliest of Dr. Paplawski and the work he has done… everything has been amazing. The way he and every nurse explained things to me in detail before, during, and after it all was immaculate. It made me, who is always anxiety ridden, very comfortable. I couldn’t thank them enough. I’m very blessed.
