I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rapciak, she is simply amazing and one of the most compassionate doctors we have ever met!! My husband was admitted to SCH and needed emergency gall bladder surgery and she was just assigned to us, so we had no idea what to expect. We felt so blessed to be given such a wonderful, qualified doctor who not only did an outstanding job with the surgery but so compassionate we felt like she was family!! We HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing a surgeon!!

Dr. Rapciak literally saved my life. I entered the hospital emergency room with a perforated gall bladder that was badly infected. Her skill and her knowledge served to help me survive what could well have been a fatal illness. I can't praise her highly enough. If you're searching for a surgeon Dr. Rapciak has the skill, the temperament, the personality and the knowledge you're looking for.

Dr Rapciak removed my inflamed gallbladder (with 9 mm diam. stone inside) on its last stage of breakage. Fortunately to Her talent and professionalism everything went well and without any complications. She is very nice and caring surgeon and took time to explain everything. What was very important to me She did it in Polish which She speaks fluently and what allowed me to understand incoming procedure and care during recovery. Recovery was fast and with no pain.Thanks Dr Maria !
