"Always happy with the experience when it comes to seeing Dr. Kowalczyk. Very thorough with the exams and answering all questions. He's been quite helpful over the years."
  • December 11, 2023
"Dr. Kowalczyk has been my urologist for a while now. In my time of seeing him, I would say I only had positive things to say about him and his medical staff at UGofSC. The exams are always very thorough, and I've always felt well cared for when coming into his practice. Never any regrets when it comes to coming here."

"He's very professional. Wait time was under 10 minutes when I came in two days ago. I'd recommend this doctor."
  • May 15, 2022
"A few days after a Cystoscopy, I started feeling sick. I tried calling Dr Kowalcyzk and had a lot of difficulty to get a hold of him. I finally did dial with him and mentioned how I was feeling. No follow up. The next day I continue to feel sick and called my principal physician. He immediately told me to go to the nearest emergency room for suspected sepsis, which can be deadly if left untreated. There was definitely an infection in my urinary tract. How did Dr Kowalcyzk not follow up in my symptoms. I no longer have confidence in him as a urologist. I’m not going back!!!! He also is not forthright about everything relating to lab results. He’s a bit selective in his communication. His practice is a high volume practice without time to deal effectively with individual patients. "

"BEWARE. This Doctor prescribed me with ciprofloxacin. He did not inform me of any side effects. The day I took it my knee swelled up and made me almost immobile. Luckily I googled the side effects. Had I not the damage could have been substantial - all because this doctor did not do his job. STAY AWAY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. "
  • February 9, 2022
"Office was clean everytime I came in. Dr. Kowalczyk and the people working here, were always wearing masks. I found the doctor to be very helpful and informative. Went into detail about my concerns, he was able to put my mind at ease. I'd recommend this doctor."
  • January 31, 2022
