Patrick P Bulinski

What an arrogant as$hole. Has a great rapport with th female office staff but I'm just taking up his time. I was prescribed Valium after I was up all night overdosing on Hydrocodone and unable to sleep! A perfect storm. I had a first year DENTIST that informed me that I was lucky to be alive. Look it up. Took a small, occasional, impending, possible, maybe problem and turned it into a constant, every-day, irreversible, embarrassing nightmare. Never spoke to me after. Could've solved the problem by waiting but no.... can't make a boat payment waiting. Is facetiously interested in you as long as everything is going fine. Small things are just wasting his time.

Removed gallbladder. Wasnt close to issue. Even after telling him. Would not listen. Thank God a scan was done and was flown to U of M for emergency suegery. Was Mesenteric Ischemia

Dr. Patrick Bulinski is incompetent, arrogant and dangerous. I was referred to him for removal/biopsy of two masses, one the size of an apple, the other the size of a marble. The affected breast was also swollen, red, dimpled, blotchy, with prominent engorged veins and bleeding from the nipple. After he manually and visually examined the breast he said it was a quick easy fix and described the 15 minute procedure with local anesthetic I would have. I thought that didn't sound right and called his office later the same day. They told me if I was worried about it to bring my radiology reports to the procedure and talk to him before hand. I brought my radiology reports on the procedure day and discovered Dr. Bulinski was indeed only planning to remove/biopsy the small lump. I gave my reports to my prep nurse who disappeared with them. Two hours later the administrator of the hospital came and introduced herself to me. She said she had assembled a team of her best doctors including

I brought my radiology reports on the procedure day and discovered Dr. Bulinski was indeed only planning to remove/biopsy the small lump. I gave my reports to my prep nurse who disappeared with them. Two hours later the administrator of the hospital came and introduced herself to me. She said she had assembled a team of her best doctors including a highly esteemed breast specialists via video call. They were planning how my surgery should be performed and I would be going into the operating room soon. An IV was started and an anesthesiologist met with me. At the last moment Dr. Bulinski came in. He would not speak to me and I realized he was livid. As he drew the incision lines he said "Patient WAS going to get one incision but she wants TWO...sooo she gets two." The sarcasm was frightening but I did not have time to react. I was wheeled away, knocked out, and underwent a two and a half hour surgery. I was sent home with a square of gauze taped over each incision, without binding or wrapping. Within two days my breast had doubled in size and ultimately ruptured in the shower. I was left with a 5" deep open wound that forked to my chest wall. I had to go to a wound clinic for 5 months of daily repacking for it to heal from the inside out. I ultimately got his notes from my initial office visit with Dr. Patrick Bulinski. I was shocked to see his assessment, other than the one small lump he literally said "no other palatable masses, no discoloration or dimpling of breast tissue, no nipple discharge". He physically and visually examined my breast. I am dumbfounded. Both masses contained two types of pre-cancers. The breast specialists that took over after the surgery was shocked and disgusted by the medical care and surgery I received from Dr. Patrick Bulinski. The breast ruptured because Dr. Patrick Bulinski failed to cauterize a bleeding internal vessel. My breast is now disfigured as a result of the rupture and due to Dr. Patrick Bulinski inexplicably cutting against the meridian lines, rather than along them which reduces scarring. Apparently this is unusual. Cutting against them resulted in me being left with unnecessary scarring and disfigurement. In hindsight I wish I would have ran like my hair was on fire once I realized Dr. Patrick Bulinski was enraged going into surgery.

If you have a choice, use a different doctor. In my experience his skills were adequate, but his arrogance got in the way of his objective eye. Because of his arrogance I ended up back in the ER with emergency surgery which required a week stay in the hospital. I went in for a follow-up appointment and told him I was still in pain. He told me I was just not used to pain. He did not look at my incision. He did not touch my body. He did not ask any follow-up questions. I ended up back in the ER that night with a bile leak which he denied as well. He actually said he was sure that wasn't the case. My mom pushed for the test that confirmed he was wrong. A doctor who does not look at his patients as individuals is dangerous. Positive--he's local, he answered his call, he was personable Negative--arrogant to such a degree that it caused harm by clouding his vision of the actual situation, judgmental to a degree that he did not see me as an individual but rather a type, sexist (told me negatives about his daughter and wife and myself because we were women and "women complain"), and pushy.

He was frank, honest about issues like healing and pain, and did a terrific job. My family doctor was delighted with the results.

Great surgeon

My dad is 90 years old and had a umbilical hernia and was told by another DR. that they could not do anything for him because of his age, that wasn't true. Dr. Bulinski said he could do the surgery and my dad was so happy he could do it, because he was suffering for along time with pain. Dr. Bulinski took his time with my dad and was so nice with him. We are very happy we came here. My dad is 90 years old and had a umbilical hernia and was told by another DR. that they could not do anything for him because of his age, that wasn't true.

Dr. Bulinski did my bilateral mastectomy. He was amazing! He has the best bed side manner. He made me feel relaxed and comfortable from my first appointment until my last post op appointment. He left me with beautiful scars, no dog ears or extra skin. Thank you Dr. Bulinski for a great experience in a scary situation!

Terrible ethics. He cares more about what kind of insurance the patient has than the patient. I do not recommend this man.

Does not care about his patients needs or concerns will make you wait for him all day and won't give you or nurses a time he'll be coming. Good surgeon but very selfish I'll never recommend anyone to Dr. Bulinski

Dr. B is a very good surgeon. His bedside manor needs work. I am very disappointed with the professional care. He lacks the ability to be understanding to the patients concerns. In my case made me feel as though my pain was all in my head, that I was just trying to get on disability, was not treated with respect, and above all did not listen to my concerns something is wrong. Even with a trainee in tow, he did not even bother to introduce me. I was nothing but a paycheck, a pain in his bottom.

Dr. Bulinski along with ER staff performed emergency Tracheotomy on my wife after her airway failed saving her life. Follow up in ICU and room was great along with his listening and answering questions. Follow up visits are scheduled and we are very pleased with him. Thank you for doing what needed to be done at a moments notice.
