Thank you for giving me my life back.
No one else would take me on. I’d had 2 previous surgeries to remove my colon. You saw were the problem was & that drugs wouldn’t work. You removed remaining colon x& anus & as a result I have my life & freedom back! Thank you!

I am very impressed with Dr. Sawatsky. Excellent communication skills , Excellent surgery , no infections , quick healing. Yes, I AM pretty happy about that. Three visits to me in the Penticton Hospital over three days plus the surgery itself.

Dr. Sawatsky was informative, understanding and efficient. My surgery went so much easier than I anticipated. And most importantly, my after surgery healing went smoothly and with very little pain. Really pleased.

I can only say he is a great doctor, excellent communication skills, who took the time with me, never making me feel rushed. I had complications for a few weeks & he saw me through the long haul. I would highly recommend him. Most definitely the best doctor/surgeon I have ever seen.

Gentle demeanour, kind, knowledgeable, very grateful to have him for my specialist. Haven't had my scope yet, but, seen him on a long weekend in his office.. He made time for me, certainly says a lot about a professional.
