"I would STRONGLY recommend Dr. Kowalski, to anyone considering WLS. rnHe is professional, yet down to earth and reality based.rnHis courteous staff make you feel like your part of a family when you visit his office. In the past I know everyone has dealt with a Doc that they love only to cringe every time they have to deal with his or her staff.rnThis is so far from the case with Dr. Kowalski sometimes I almost think it is too good to be true. I am amazed at the way my pre-op preperation is just smoothly going by.rnDr Kowalski's personal assistant is worth her weight in gold!!!rnThe staff,nutritionist, psychologist and surgeon have been extremely thorough with me, leaving absolutely no stone unturned. I have noticed the first thing people ask me when I mention my WLS is \"have you researched how involved that is\". My response is always the same. I have researched lapband surgery inside out upside down and around the block, and any possible thing that I might need an answer to after that the Doctor and his staff have already covered.rnI have no worries at all and I am confident that my satisfaction thru surgery and aftercare will be nothing short of superb.rnI give them a 10++++"
