Dr. Russell Scot Gornichec, MD

Spent four months in ICU after my bariatric surgery. I was one of the lucky ones, I survived.

As far as I’m concerned dr gornachec saved my life! I HAD melanoma and because of his expertise it’s gone!

I went to Dr Gornichec for gallbladder trouble. He was really nice and knowledgeable. The surgery was quick and recovery was great. I recommend him.

I was admitted by Dr. Kubek and referred to Dr. Gornichec. He was oustanding and even repaired my hernia while taking out the gall bladder. I was very impressed with him and the care I received.

My name is Lisa Martin from Hot Springs, Arkansas. My life was saved by Dr. Gornichec. I absolutely hate that he moved away. I struggle everyday to maintain my weight loss and wish to God he was still in my life. Dr. Gornichec, I thank you for all your service and advice. I appreciate all you have done for me. I have a totally different life style and have done things I never thought I would be able to do. I started at 309 pounds and this man gave me a tool to lose down to 176 pounds. I have not hit my goal of 160 pounds yet but I will continue to strive for it. I just know I would have hit it had Dr. Gornichec still been here to guide me. I miss you Dr. Gornichec and would give anything to have an office visit with you again. Lots of love for Dr. Gornichec! Lisa Martin/ Hot Springs, Arkansas

Awesome is all I can say about this doctor and his staff. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him!!

Dr. Gornichec is a very caring, concerned physician who takes enough time to answer his patient's questions and explain any health care concerns.

I recently went to Dr. Gornichec for unexplained pain in my abdominal area that I had been dealing with for 4 years. He listened to everything I had to say. He did not minimize anything that I had experienced. He explained in detail what testing would be necessary in order to determine what the source of my pain was. He explained that although many tests had been done previously that he prefers to do his own in order to see what is needed for his patients. Dr. Gornichec performed an abdominal reconstruction surgery to repair an incarcerated incisional hernia on me. I was very nervous the morning of surgery but, Dr. Gornichec reassured me of what was to come. He is very hands on and particular about the care his patients receive. I felt a trust with him from the very first visit. I will be eternally grateful that God brought Dr. Gornichec to our state. My condition would not have been repaired without his complete dedication to being thorough. Thank-you to Dr. Gornichec and his amazing office support staff. It feels like talking to friends when you are there. You know that they truly care about each of their patients.

The skill of Dr Gornachec is undeniable. He has an awesome track record, and first and foremost that is the most important thing to me when picking a surgeon. He can be a little arrogant at times. But it is not necessarily offensive. I like a little swagger in the person that is going to be cutting me open, so for me it wasn't that big a deal. Bottom line, he gets the job done, he has a good track record and your in good hands with him.

I had my bypass performed robotically by Dr Gornichec. He is the only surgeon doing the procedure this way in Oklahoma.He did a great job and I left the hospital the next evening.His office staff is great and a lot of fun.I look forward to my follow up appointments to show them how much weight I have lost.I recommend the support groups because I always seem to learn something new from other patients.

Great doctor. He is very patient and answered all of my questions. His office staff is wonderful. In my experience, if you are good to them, they treat you wonderfully. Kim runs the office and is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. She is very helpful and has quite the sense of humor. The staff is wonderful and very attentive. You get to talk with each of them everytime you come in for a pre-op appointment. There is no better doctor than Russell. He is the best of the best.

Dr. Gornichec and his staff have been outstanding, both before and after my surgery. I've never had any difficulty getting an appointment scheduled (pre- or post-op), and whether I've seen Dr. Gornichec or his PA I've always gotten every question answered. I could not be more pleased with Dr. Gornichec and his staff.

Mr. Gornichec was a good doctor at first but once I had the gastric bypass he became very arrogant and not very thorough.
