Dr. Kolowich is the kindest, most compassionate physician I have had the pleasure of meeting. She performed surgery on my right shoulder and I could not be happier with the outcome. Her attention to detail should be commended. I have and will continue to recommend her to my family and friends. the P.A. In her office is outstanding. She always answers any questions to my satisfaction. She was able to work her magic, by getting me an earlier appointment with a hand surgeon two months earlier then I was scheduled. I will be forever grateful to her.
