Never addressed me by name. Drove 35mins for him to glance at an xray screen, my injury and told to come back for sutures out. Impersonal. Not returning.
Dr. Sowa was very thorough in his questioning and in providing input related to my thumb condition. He described what the procedure he was going to perform and also, provided what to look for in the healing process and in 3 weeks to come back if the thumb is not good. Kudos to Dr. Sowa and his staff for a good experience.
Dr. Sowa has done several surgeries to my hands in order to release trigger fingers. He did an excellent job with little downtime. I had one done by another doctor outside the practice and I needed eight weeks of PT because of the problems I had associated with the surgery. Dr. so is my number one hand specialist.
I would recommend anyone to Dr. Sowa. He is the best hand surgeon. Dr. Sowa is about business period. Go check him out!!
Dr. Sowa and his staff were courteous, respectful and very knowledgeable in not only in advising me what is happening now, but also what to expect during and post op of the procedure.
Dr. Sowa is the best! He takes good care of my hands so I can keep working!
Easy to get appt. Very little time in waiting room. Dr Sowa came into the room right after the tech did the check-on.
Friendly, knowledgeable and polite.
He was awesome very knowledgeable and took very good care of mother. My mother addressed all her issues with her hands and right away orders-rays knew the problem took action and now we on the process of getting other test and follow up with Dr. Sowa. He’s well mannered and he’s highly recommended!
He explained the procedure on my finger very well. I'm glad I went to him.
