2 Reviews on “Dr Karol Gutowski”
Dr. Gutowski is an outstanding board certified plastic surgeon. In my opinion, he is the top Lipedema surgeon in the U.S. He is very patient-centric which is very important to me. He explains everything in detail and makes his patients feel comfortable. The other remarkable and comforting quality about Dr. Gutowski is he is available to his patients anytime at all via text, email, cellphone…even months after a procedure. Patient and surgery safety is his top concern. Read his resume on his website – it is absolutely jaw dropping. No wonder patients from all over the U.S. and world come to this Chicago suburb to have their surgery with Dr. G. I did 100’s of hours of research when I was diagnosed with Lipedema/Lymphedema and Dr. Gutowski is the absolute top choice in the U.S. for this very specific condition and related surgeries/treatments.
Dr. Gutowski is kind, caring and listens in addition to his knowledge and experience. I researched and met with Dr’s initially trying to stay on the East Coast (was in PA when I started, now in NC). After multiple consultations with other Drs leaving me disappointed with realizing they didn’t know as much about Lipedema as they advertised, I finally made my consult with Dr Gutowski. I had known of him for a while and saw so many great comments about him, but hesitated due to the travel. I wish I saw him sooner. After my consult, my husband and I both knew he was the one and well worth traveling for!! I had my 1st surgery on 4/12 and am so glad I chose Dr Gutowski to work with. Whether via email or text he is very responsive and I look forward to my continued care with him. An extra bonus is how great and caring his office staff is too!!!
