  • Very friendly and polite. He listens to you and gives you the best advise based on previous experiences with others. I would tell anyone to go to him. Good doctor to travel too. They have other doctors in the office but. Dr. Kowalski is my favorite. He runs all the test on you, before he does any surgery even if you want him to skip those processes. But when they are done he has all that he needs to proceed on your behalf for surgery to do it the right way the first time.- PatientSource: Google

  • Very impressed with this Orthopedic office. It only took 2 days to get an appointment. Minimal wait time in the waiting room and the exam room. I totally appreciate that all staff members introduced themselves, wore name tags, explained their roll in the office and exactly what they doing. Constantly providing educational opportunities is another plus. Everyone cared about me and my husband. Looking forward to my follow-up visit next week.- PatientSource: Google
