I’m sure the good doctor is an amazing surgeon but be sure you’re going to this doctor because you need surgery. I accompanied my son on a visit to see Doctor Kowalski recently.

My husband had emergency neck surgery with this doctor with an excellent outcome. He also operated on my 87 year old dad that nobody else would touch and I had a 4 level urgent lumbar fusion. He doesn’t pull any punches and a honest and answers all of your questions. He is a highly skilled and extremely busy surgeon! He also does not jump immediately to surgery! There is nobody else I trust more than Dr. Kowalski and his entire staff! And that’s the truth! Sheri Cleary

Dr Kowalski has no bedside manner whatsoever. It was my first visit regarding sciatica. He proceeded to say he’d operate when my pain got bad enough but don’t wait too long because there are lots ahead of you. He then proceeded to rub his pointer fingers back and forth making sounds like sharpening a knife. I left in tears. He spent less than 10 minutes with me.
