Patient Reviews
Mar 07, 2022
Dr. Kowal performed surgery for two hernia’s in one procedure for me in 2018. He was thorough in describing the procedure, as well as what to expect post surgery. He was very professional, straight forward, and ensured I had answers to any questions I had. No complications from surgery. Very happy with the minimally invasive techniques through use of small incisions. Healed nicely. So happy with this doctor that I scheduled a colonoscopy the same year. Again, very professional and attentive to my questions and concerns. No complications or discomfort. He is my go to surgeon in the future.
