Dr. Sowa was able to diagnose my 90 yr old mother's rays from the ER Department. We are extremely pleased with the results and look forward to her healing properly.
Great Dr
He was very kind and explained what he was going to do to help with my hand issues
Dr. Sowa did my hand surgery 2 weeks ago. Today was stitch removal. I’m extremely happy with the hand results.
Needs a better bed side manner
Always great
He always gets me in and out of the office quickly and takes care of the issue I have and is very professional.
I always feel I am getting the best medical help available from Dr Sowa
