Dr. K was the best solution to my foot problem. She suggrsted a surgery which i wish i had had years ago. She is also helping me with a knee problem! I trust her judgement. She is decisive, kind, thorough and explains procedures in manner we canunderstand. I’d also like to give a shout out to Rachael. She follows up appointments, post surgery etc. She is professional and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend them to my friends and family!

I was referred to Resurgens Orthopaedic after a visit to urgent care for knee pain and was able to get an appointment the same day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone I saw prior to seeing Dr. Kowalchuk was helpful and friendly. Being a last- minute appointment, I expected to have a long wait before being seen. That was not the case. Dr. Kowalchuk didn’t rush the appointment, showed me the X-rays they took, and discussed my options. I highly recommend this group and will continue to use them in the future.

Dr Kowalchuck was great. She listened to me and was very caring and knowledgeable in her treatment of my knee issue. She took the time to explain her diagnosis and developed an effective treatment plan. After just 1 day, I can already see an improvement in my mobility and pain level. I am so glad she was assigned as my physician. Thank you!
