Most of the nurses are rude. I went here for five years and was discharged for having a disagreement with another Doctor. I wasn't belligerent to her and apologized afterwards. A few days later I was discharged because of that. I never had a problem before. Dr. Kowal refused to talk to me. Refused my refills and now withdrawals kicking in. All because I wanted to see a ENT first instead of a test she thought I should take, which would've been an ENT's job. They know my situation.

I have been seeing Dr. Kowal for about 10 years. He listens attentively and does not rush me. He is very knowledgeable and I feel confident in his diagnosis and treatment. I feel like Dr. Kowal really cares about me as a patient and a person and that is very important to me. Dr. Kowal has a good heart. I like his sweet and down to earth manner. I've recommended him to several people and they really like him too. Dr. Kowal has it all!

I tried to become a new patient for Dr. Kowal.. I was on hold for 11 minutes..When the receptionist finally answered she was so rude. It was the worst customer service I have ever received in a long time... I was going to switch my entire family until this.. Now I will look else where.

Dr. Kowal has been my doctor for 12 years. I have found him to be professional, caring, compassionate, and well-informed in the area of auto-immune issues and their side-effects. He takes the time to really listen to my concerns, my research on my medical conditions and takes the time to explain how a medication or therapy works.

Dr Kowal has been my dr. For 11 years. I first met him at St. Peter's after a failing heart condition. He has been my pcp ever since, I trust no one but him with my health. Dr. Kowal only refers the best when I'm in need of a specialist and I trust his judgement. I was close to death with my heart problem and I owe my life to him. I want to say thank you Dr. Kowal for saving my life!!!

Dr. Kowal has been my doctor for 7 years and I have found him to be deeply concerned with my care and health plan. He has suggested specialists as needed and has listened carefully to my concerns and the research that I have done with some of my "tricky" auto-immune syndromes. I feel confident and comfortable in his care.
