If i could give him 6 stars I would!

Doctor Popowich helped me get through a gallstone issue, and explained the entire procedure to the point where I could feel very comfortable. He even referred me to his youtube channel, if I was curious. It's been over a year since the procedure and I still recall how amazing he, and his team were. I dread visiting doctors and every step of the way I had nothing to dread.

In addition to being a top-notch surgeon, Dr. Popowich is easily the most caring doctor I have ever encountered, even emailing me daily to find out how my recovery was going. He answered every question patiently so that I was prepared for what was about to happen. This was my fourth surgery with Dr.Popowich (I'm a complicated guy!) and I would never let another surgeon touch me. He is one in a million.

Amazing surgeon! He made me feel so comfortable before my surgery and answered all of my questions and even called my husband directly after to let him know it went well. I can’t recommend Dr Popowich enough!

The best! During consult, he explained my surgery competently and put me at ease. Confident, caring surgeon, always made me feel I was in the right hands. Performed my surgery flawlessly, he and his team were fantastic, especially Tom. Very fortunate to have found Dr. Popowich.

The gold standard of care for evaluating a complicated patient is to review medical records in advance when they have been made available to the surgeon. Three other colorectal surgeons required paper records in advance which were reviewed thoroughly before my visit. I emailed my records to Dr. Popowitz’s office manager, received an email confirming receipt, and even called the following week and she verbally confirmed she had emailed them to him. Yet, when I arrived, he said he did not have my records even after telling him I had an email confirming receipt. He said, “There are eight doctors in this office and my office manager is out because her husband is sick.” He took no responsibility and refused to apology. Yet he has the last word in the office visit record where he lied 3 times stating that he offered an apology. This is arrogant, disrespectful and this experience made it obvious that he would not be a good choice as a surgeon.

Dr. Popowich is a highly skilled surgeon and a terrific, caring physician. He handled my emergency laparoscopic surgery to remove a Non-Hodgkinson's Lymphoma in my colon. Afterward, he came by my hospital room early every morning for the next two weeks to see how my recovery was going and coordinate my care. Can't say enough good things about him!

Instrumental in keeping me alive. What else can I say!

Fantastic Doctor!! I have seen him a few times and each time he has been extremely knowledgeable, patient and explains everything so that you can understand what is going on. I would highly recommend him ! You could not find a better doctor. Fantastic Doctor!!

I like him. He was very professional. Absolutely would recommend him. I went for a consult and a relatively minor procedure and both encounters were top notch.

Great Doctor! Very professional, knowledgeable and discreet. Office encounter was fast and staff very pleasant .Highly recommend and Would definitely come back .

Fantastic surgeon, very caring and made overall experience as pleasant as surgery could possibly be. I highly recommend Dr. Popowich to anyone needing colon Rectal surgery!

Just had Gallbladder surgery with him and he was incredible from star to finish. Had a minor complication (not his fault) and he was with me every step of the way. Excellent surgeon, communication and has a great team under him as well.

Dr. Popowich is truly one of a kind. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and direct. I've never seen anyone as attentive to a patient as he is. He turned what could have been a health nightmare into something that felt ordinary and easy to take care of. So far, his expertise speaks for itself. I can't recommend him enough.

Dr. Popowich was referred to me by another doctor to fix a failed j-pouch due to UC. I contacted him via email and he was very prompt to respond, coordinating his schedule around mine as I was flying in from out of town. From the moment I met him, I was extremely pleased with his professionalism, calm and logical responses to my hundreds of questions, and concern for my well being; I wasn't just another paycheck. He performed my surgery and I cannot say enough about his bedside manners. He visited me almost every day in the hospital (even on the weekend) to ensure I was healing well and had everything I needed. Dr. Popowich has given me the steps to getting my life back, and I'm so blessed to have him as my colorectal surgeon. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Incredible, unique brilliant surgeon and person, explained my surgery and his approach in great detail and in a very caring way. My surgery was delayed so he was able to come in beforehand to go over it again and reassure me. My surgery was not the most complicated type yet he gave me plenty of attention and care. My surgery had a positive outcome and follow up was a very positive experience as well. One-of-a kind surgeon!

dan popowich is an unfriendly and uncaring physician. my advise is to avoid him at all costs.

Unique, caring and brilliant surgeon who cares about his patients as if they are family. I knew that I wanted to use him for my surgery as soon as I left his office. He explained his approach very clearly unlike the other consultations that I had (I had already scheduled them so I went on them). Even though my surgery was not the most complicated type I was still anxious. Dr. Popowich came into the holding room before my surgery and went through the procedure again which was very comforting.

Amazing doctor, knowledgeable, and very relaxed. Would highly recommend.

Dr Popowich is a legend doctor of this century

Dr Popowich is the most professional and empathetic surgeon we have ever worked with. He saved my teenage daughters life, got her back on her feet both physically and more importantly he gave her the emotional strength and courage to move forward. We are so thankful he came into our lives.

Dr Popowich recently performed laparoscopic surgery to remove a section from my colon due to diverticulitis. Prior to the surgery, he spent time to detail the procedure, and was at pains to explain all the associated risks and answer all questions. The procedure went well, and I have experienced minimal pain. I have found him to be very approachable as evidenced by the fact that he visited me every morning during my hospital stay, and is very prompt in following up with post-surgery questions.

Long waiting line. very bad service

I found Dr. Popowich from Health Grades. He had 5, 5-star reviews and I had no idea who to go to for an incisional hernia, so I rolled the dice. He is an excellent doctor and I will definitely recommend him going forward. I had my surgery at Mount Saini and found that the hospital and the team he works with were also top-notch. My experience was excellent and the whole process was painless, not counting the recovery of course. He is an all around skilled and solid doctor with a friendly manner.

Dr. Popowich is my hero. My husband has a very complicated history. He saved my husband's life when another dr told me to plan a funeral. Dr. Popowich is not only an extremely skilled and intelligent surgeon, he CARES. He cares about his patients during surgery and he cares about his patients' quality of life after surgery. We followed him to NYC and will always fly wherever he is. Caring bedside manner. He takes the time and explains everything. Excellent surgeon I trust with my own life.
