Dr Gowski and his staff were wonderful. I had concerns about surgery on my hand and how it would affect playing the piano. They had a pad of pictures of the structure of the hand and wrist, showing me where the problem was in my hand, drawing on the page, what had happened in my thumb joint to cause the problem, and what would be happening in the surgery to correct it. They weren’t in a hurry and answered everything I could think of, to ask! I so appreciate how attentive they were! I’m ready for surgery now!

Always have a great experience at Gowski’s office. I have wrist issues and have been a patient a decade ago and then again now. Both times were excellent. Described my issues and options very well.

Scheduling accommodated a last minute appointment. Staff was very friendly and explained implications of the injury. No wait time after completing intake forms. Highly recommend!

Dr. Gowski saw me on December 22nd and got me in for surgery the next day. All during the holidays and right before Christmas! The staff was extremely kind and helpful, (the best I had encountered during my broken arm fiasco.) Dr Gowski did an amazing job working on my arm and my recovery will be quick! I was told this was the best place to go when needing an orthopedic surgeon, and I understand why! Thank you Dr.Gowski for helping me heal my right arm that I need for my artistic career!
