My son was lucky enough to have Dr. Kowal as his physiciatrist for the past few years. He is an absolute credit to his profession. His calm demeanor and presence is a godsend. My son isn't the easiest to get to know or responsive. Dr. Kowal treated him with grace and respect the entire time. Before prescribing he checked his blood/liver/heart. He then checked periodically. We are extremely lucky to have Dr. Kowal in Dubai. My sons last visit was today as he leaves for university. We felt quite sad that his time with Dr. Kowal had ended. My son was encouraged to reach out to him anytime.
