• I enjoyed my conversation with Dr. Witkowski. He was knowledgeable about my medical file. I am very glad I got his reassurance about my gastrointestinal situation. This was my initial visit with him, and I I feel like I now know a GI surgeon who could be a resource for me to draw upon in the future.

• I was impressed with Dr Witkowski's openness about the challenges of my medical situation - things he felt strongly about, things he was unsure about, things he wants to discuss with colleagues, pros & cons of different surgical options, and even things that might help but are considered controversial. I also appreciated that he started the appointment out by saying it would be good for me to get multiple opinions for my situation. I felt like he listened to my concerns. The solution isn't clear yet but I left the appointment with a clear path forward for next steps. One of the things I really wanted from this appointment was to clarify the goals for any surgical interventions and how "success" would be measured, and I got that. I left the appointment feeling like I'm in good hands.

• Dr Witkowski has a pleasant, professional manner. Very attentive and reassuring. He clearly, is knowledgeable and experienced. Other than a nearly 1hr wait, which I do not fault him for, my visit was very positive. Another reason I was impressed with Dr Witkowski is even though the office was very behind, he didn't seem rushed at all and he never made me feel rushed.

• Dr Witkowski is the best. I consulted with 4 different surgeons before deciding to have surgery with him. He is kind thoughtful and an extremely skilled surgeon. After 10 years and 4 previous surgeries, he finally fixed my problem.

• Dr. Winkowski has been amazing. I actually have to have the surgery done again and not because of any of his fault, but his hernia center has been amazing through the whole process and explaining things to me. I actually had to go to two different hernia doctors before I went and got results from him. So it's been a completely positive. Thank you.
