"Shawnee Mission Medical Center exhibited the highest standards of professionalism in healthcare bar none! The nurses, dietician, physical therapist, and the chaplains all made me feel loved and cared for and valued as both a patient and human being. I have never had a better hospital experience since the birth of my 2 children!!!!!! Excellent hospital!!!!"
"My first impression of Dr. Kowalski was that he was professional and dedicated to the success of his bariatric weight-loss patients. He was extremely thorough. I had several consultations and classes to attend before receiving the go-ahead. My impression of Dr. Kowalski only improved over time. His office staff are so incredibly loving and professional. Future patients under this Dr.'s care should know that he is good, exceptional even, and practices evidenced-based medicine! Aftercare is stressed throughout the lifetime following bariatric surgery and he does have a structured aftercare program which is strongly emphasized. Surgery risks were discussed at length prior to the procedure, and consistently afterwards. I would rate him and his office staff 10 stars at least....or 100! While I was in the hospital, he came to see me all 3 days I was in-patient, and changed my dressings to the abdomen!!! His surgical competence and bedside manner were both commendable bigtime!!!!!"
