Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Personalised Care, not Assembly-Line GI Medicine
Dr. K demonstrated to me that he was empathetic & intelligent enough that he doesn’t default to the one-size-fits-all procedural mentality that many volume & profit-oriented GI labs & clinics have adopted. I presented to Memorial Hospital-Central for a sedation-free, IV puncture-free colonoscopy experience, and even when the nurse anaesthetist tried pushing an IV “just in case”, he waved her off. (He’s the physician, and has the authority to do so.) As a result, Dr. K spared me the all-too-frequent painful outcomes of phlebitis & infiltration that have caused me to insist on IV-free non-surgical procedures. He was a bit swifter than my previous GI docs, and I was a bit bent out of shape because I like studying the screen, but it was overall a good experience, seeing him snare my polyps, looking at my diverticula, and the overall wonder of the colonic tract is something I am grateful for. (I ran into issues w/insurance codes, blamed him, but I was wrong, and feel sorry I did that.)

A pleasant positive experience!
Had a chance to speak with Dr. Kowalczyk. He was very professional and informative. We spoke prior to my procedure on the process as well as other items moving forward that I should pay attention to that were noticed on my pre-screening. The procedure went as planned and was completed on time. No time wasted waiting. This procedure was handled professionally from the 1st phone call to the end of the procedure and release. The staff was pleasant, very well informed and on top of all. Thanks for providing comfort during an uncomfortable time. Hope to see you all again in 5 years!

Colonoscopy
Dr. Kowalczyk and his staff were excellent. I won't have to have another colonoscopy for 10 years, and I hope he is still at Peak Gastroenterology clinic in 2032, because he's the one I want to do the procedure.

No gallon challenge
Not only was Dr.K a real professional and great communication he also informed me that my next prep for colonoscopy can be saved by tossing the gallon jug and recommending an alternative solution. Thank you

Great colonoscopy! (Is that a thing)
From the start to the end this place is top notch. Efficient, friendly, and thorough. The staff is fantastic. I was a bit nervous and they put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. The whole thing was a breeze. Looking forward to to my next colonoscopy! Ok, maybe not looking forward, but I won’t be dreading it. This place is great and I highly recommend them!

I was having extreme stomach pain and couldn't eat. Without examining me, and with 1 endoscopy test , he told me the pain I was having was all in my head. He said I should see a psychiatrist. Another gastro doctor diagnosed me with Sibo! Dr K. never tested me for any disorders of the stomach.
