Dr Kowalski is a gem. He is kind and doesn’t talk down to me and does his best to explain things I’m not now but I was severely obese for years and he never made me feel fat or ugly. I have been going to him for 10 years and if I move to Florida I will fly back here and pay out of pocket just to see him.
