Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

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

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

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

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

Excellent work; thank you.
I went to Dr. Gowski with a combination of carpal tunnel and trigger fingers (2) issues on my dominant hand. He took care of both in one surgery and I have since healed very well. His team did an excellent job of preparing me for the surgery. Thank you. A special call out to his nurse, Marissa.

I had 2 procedures done at the same time and Dr. Gowski and his team were amazing!! They made me feel comfortable and told me everything that was going to happen, no surprises. He even told a funny dad joke that made us all laugh. Best doctor and team around.

Dr. Gowsk is 5 stars 5 times for me
He listens and explains. He even draws pictures to help. He did a surgery on both of my thumbs several years ago to correct an osteoarthritis condition. When it came time to have a trigger finger and both carpal tunnel releases done, I went back to him immediately. My experience with all five of these procedures was extremely positive. The carpal tunnel and trigger finger release only takes a few minutes and is painless and done in the office.

lateral epicondylitis debridement
Dr. Gowski and his team have done several surgeries on both arms and hands. He’s professional and gives me all the information I need while being kind and sensitive to my care. I won’t go to another doctor for my orthopedic needs.

Phenomenal Service
I got in for a same day appt and was given full attention to my needs. They quickly found the issue and gave me a variety of treatment options. Everything was well-explained and we ended up going through with a same-day surgery. The staff was friendly and accommodating of my fear of needles and surgery.

5 star review for carpal tunnel release procedure.
I knew ahead of time that TOSH had great doctors, so I did not hesitate to have carpal tunnel release surgery as an outpatient procedure. Dr. How ski did an amazing job. The whole procedure with local anesthesia was less than one hour. Recovery was painless. I was back in business the following g day.

Fantastic Doctor
Dr Gowski did surgery on my son's wrist. The surgery went great and Dr Gowski was so helpful to my son! Before surgery he spoke with us both, answered all our questions and found the best solution for my son to get his wrist fixed and still be able to play the sport he loves! I couldn't reccomend him more! Both my son and I feel so thankful for Dr Gowski and his team!

Dr. Gowski is amazing!
I was referred to Dr. Gowski by another physician and couldn't be happier. I was diagnosed with De Quervain's tenosynovitis and was it quite a bit of pain. Dr. Gowski and his team were amazing and I almost immediately felt relief.
