Patient Reviews
Jan 26, 2021
Dr. Kowalski recently performed a procedure to end my recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis that other physicians spent 10 years telling me needed to be done but could not be due to the risk of...pancreatitis. They (GI specialists) preferred to refer me to someone else or wait to see if it happened again (spoiler: it did, no matter what I did-- no alcohol, no medications including birth control due to progesterone because MAYBE, limited food intake, restricted exercise options-- 10 times). Over those 10 years, my 3 children grew up and we never knew when an attack would happen. I became pretty anxious about every new physician. One visit with Dr. Kowalski and he, respectfully but firmly, dismissed the excuses. His experience speaks for itself when you hear him discuss your case-- YOUR life that you have been living that someone suddenly seems to understand. His team was excellent, and his skill is impeccable. I had NO issues with the procedure.
