Dr. Gutowski is absolutely remarkable. He was my first and only consult for my breast lift. I felt super confident with him and felt that he really cared about my needs/wants. Surgery day came and his office called to make sure I was all set for the surgery. Ellen is also amazing and super nice. On surgery day it went super smooth, wasn't in a lot of pain, everyone made sure I was comfortable. Dr. G called me the next day to follow up. During my healing process I had a stitch break, I sent Dr. G a text with pictures and he instantly responded what to do and saw me at his office next morning. I will definitely go back to Dr. G for any future needs.ReportRe: Dr. Gutowski is absolutel ...

Dr. Gutowski performed my buccal fat pad removal/chin liposuction procedures in June and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was nervous to be awake for the surgery but he and his nurse made me feel comfortable the entire time, explaining each step as it was happening, and even calling me the night after the procedure to make sure I was not in too much pain.Report

Dr. Gutowski did an excellent job on my mini tummy tuck and breast lift. I'm in the medical field and had some specific requests that he was willing to accommodate. The office is immaculate and the staff is very friendly. The surgical procedures themselves were uncomplicated and I love the results. When I did have one small issue he had me come to the office right away. I trust his surgical skills and he has a good bedside manner as well, which is not always easy to find. I would definitely recommend him.ReportRe: Dr. Gutowski did an excel ... Karol Gutowski, MD replied on Thursday, August 5th 2021Thanks for sharing your experience and your kind words.

Dr. G is the best! Not only am I satisfied with with my results, I could not be happier with my experience beginning with my consultation all the way to my post op. Dr. G is an experienced, thorough and attentive surgeon. He truly goes over and above to make sure his patients feel at ease. I was very impressed that he also shares his cell phone number and would always tell me, to text him at anytime if I had any questions.Report
When I arrived at the surgical center the day of my procedure, I was speaking to the nurse and told her I was nervous. She told me she has been a surgical nurse for over 20 years and assured me that I couldn't have pick a better surgeon to perform my procedure - and she was 100% correct!Re: Dr. G is the best!

Dr. Gutowski was the third consultation I went on for a breast augmentation and within minutes of arrival, I knew this was my place and he was my doctor. The Surgical Coordinator/Partner, Ellen, immediately made me feel comfortable, taking care of any initial questions I had before meeting the doctor. She also continued to be a great resource throughout the whole process and is a huge part of the reason I chose Dr. G as my surgeon.Report
Not only was Dr Gutowski the first and only doctor to really listen to what I wanted, but he also offered views, opinions and methods that are a bit more modern. I found that the other plastic surgeons I spoke to, seemed to treat every procedure the same as one and other, almost cookie cutter, monotonous, and using the same methods that have been around for decades. I loved that Dr. G offered different options and gave clear pros and cons to each. As he is also an educator, I can trust that he is keeping the most up to date methods and offering guidance that makes sense for each individual patient.
Dr. Gutowski's bedside manner is unbelievable. He even gives patients his cell phone number and was quick to respond the couple times I did need to connect with him outside of business hours.
If there was anything I wish I had known prior to my surgery, it would have been a bit more about the actual 'going under' part. This was my first time being completely under and I had no idea what to expect with that. I also wish I had known what I would look like right after surgery - - Seeing the black markings and iodine(?) stains on my skin, while still being in a drug fog was quite shocking. Clearly that is routine, but I was not prepared for that sight as the first look at my new body.
Plastic Surgery is so hush hush that it makes it tough to talk about in the open and leaves you to rely on reviews from strangers that you read on the internet. Even though I am a stranger, I hope to be that resource for someone else by this review. If you are debating doctors, I can assure you that this is your guy.
Dr. G was amazing! He was super professional, answered every question I had regardless of how stupid. Post surgery he was always available and checked in on my recovery on a regular basis. It's been 5 years since my surgery and I can't be happier. When I look at myself in mirror I sometimes have to remind myself that I had the surgery because my breast look and feel so natural.Report
I recommend Dr G to all my friends looking to get any work done. Absolutely love him!
I had neck liposuction and (neck) skin tightening done by Dr. Gutowski. Dr.Gutowski is not only very skilled and knowledgable, but also patient and understanding. He explained all the steps, what to expect and talked me through the procedure. The procedure and recovery were quick and relatively painless. I love the results!! I would highly recommend Dr. Karol Gutowski!!!!Report
I had a mishap where I fell and needed stitches at my hairline. Dr. G went above and beyond to fit me in to his schedule and he did a great job making my cut have a chance to heal seamlessly. I am very grateful. He was so gracious about doing this "emergency" procedure.Report
