Shortest, most uneventful surgery I’ve had, and I’ve had many. Uneventful i= excellence. TY Dr. Sowa…
Very efficient and communicative
Thorough, to-the-point, reassuring. AND QUICK. Appointment Thursday, surgery Tuesday. You go Doc!
Dr. Sowa has been my surgeon for quite a few years now, and I always know that I’m in good hands with him
This doctor is lead by God. He has taken care of my hands since 2014-16. And didn't surgery. And he knows what he is doing and gets into it. Great doctor. And I trust what he is saying.
Great Doctor, nice man, super experienced.
Thank you for doing a fantastic job on my finger. Now I will be able to dominate on the court and in the weight room.
Dr Sowa is clinically excellent, thorough and efficient. He is also a good communicator. I’m glad he is my surgeon!
Got me in 1 day and surgery the next
Very professional Mu appointment was on time. I was on and out quickly so I was able to go about my errands for the day.
