Our Providers

John

Kowalczyk, DO

"I chose urology because it presents a unique opportunity to positively impact people's everyday lives in a positive way. Whether it is giving the freedom to venture away from where a bathroom is nearby or helping improve sexual health, performance and intimacy, our patients often see real differences as a result of their treatment. It's gratifying that they place their trust in me to discuss delicate problems and work with them to achieve acceptable solutions."

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.
  • What do urologist do?

    Urologists are physicians who specialize in the genitourinary tract—the kidneys, urinary bladder, adrenal glands, urethra and male reproductive organs—and male fertility. Urologists are also trained in the surgical and medical treatment of diseases that affect these organs. Click here to watch a video on what Urology Do?

  • What is your No-Show Policy?

    All cancellations are required to be made 48 hours in advance. When a patient cancels in less than this time, the appointment will be considered to have been missed. Appointments where the patient shows up more than 20 minutes late and cannot be seen, or are unwilling to wait to be seen at the next available same-day time, will also be counted as missed appointments.

    When a patient misses two sequential appointments, they will be discharged from care at UGofSC (at the discretion of the provider) and referred out to another provider.


    Missed Surgery Policy

    All cancellations are required to be made two weeks in advance. When a patient cancels in less than this time, unless it is because medical clearance cannot be granted or some other situation that is not the fault of the patient,

    the surgery will be considered to have been missed. If the surgery has to be cancelled because the patient has not followed pre-surgical instructions or arrives late, the surgery will also be counted as missed.

    When a patient misses one surgery, they will be discharged from care at UGofSC (at the discretion of the provider) and referred out to another provider.
