Patient Reviews
Mar 11, 2016
Been with Dr. Nowak for +20 years. I trust his experience and advise. Never steered me wrong. I am a reasonably healthy patient presenting few medical challenges at this point. Tho if I were medically challenged, I would not hesitate to use his vast experience to either fix it or recommend a process of who I should see for advise or as a specialist in the Ankeny/DSM area. He relates well to me as we are wired similarly.
