Review for Dr. Falowski

Great doctor that genuinely cares but can be said about everyone who works there. Check-ups are always pretty fast and the surgery I had has helped given me my life back.

Dr Falowski is so down-to-earth … after talking with him I felt so much better about having surgery. He answered all my questions, so that I understood everything. Thank you

Review for Dr. Falowski

My experience with Dr. Cassel has been excellent. Without a doubt she's one of the very best doctors I've been treated by. She really knows her stuff, not to mention she's kind, a great listener and spends as much time as she needs to with each and every patient.

Ronald Knight Apr 16 2024
