Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I cannot express My gratitude to Dr Lubawski enough. He is a genius in My opinion and the most caring, patient and kindest Doctor I have ever met. I Highly recommend him and am proud to say My surgery and recovery are miraculous!!

Review of Dr. Lubawski
Dr. Lubowski provide our family with false hope. He does not round on his patient on a daily basis or even every other day but sends his PA who does not spend more than 5 minutes with the patient. He saw the patient prior to surgery and once post op. Prior to going into surgery and there was a discussion of being discharged, he indicated that the patient may bleed that could potentially be fatal that led to the decision to proceed with surgery. Unfortunately the patient had to be re-admitted but because patient lost confidence in him and the hospital, that he was re-admitted elsewhere where he found a surgeon that provided him with the care he needed and deserve. Make sure that an extra step is made and make that call for a 2nd or even 3rd opinion.

If you are looking for a TOP NOTCH Thoracic Sugeon, Dr James Lubawski is your surgeon! Dr Lubawski chose to do my difficult redo hiatal hernia/nissen fundiplocation using the Robotix surgery and I can’t thank him enough for that choice! All went well and post op easier too! I cannot say enough great things about Dr Lubawski he’s very knowledgeable and very caring, he also takes a lot of time to explain everything and all other options with you. His surgical team also is to notch! Thank you also Dr Anamaria Danielle Edward and Dr Emily Saha! They also were always there for me in surgery and also phone calls post op! Very caring staff and nurses too! Can’t thank you all enough! Kelly H
