Only downside was that it was several minutes between th preliminary checking of vitals and Dr Kowal seeing me. Would have been helpful if. Someone let me know he was running late.

Dr. Kowal is absolutely a great PCP. The office folks could be friendlier, but it's fine. The tech who prepped me rushed and handed me a comically undersized gown (I'm not that big). But again, Dr. Kowal is wonderful.
