If I had MY CHOICE of ONLY ONE doctor to care for my entire being and trust that person with out a doubt to take over the care of my life, I would choose Dr. Kolowich. I have NEVER met a doctor quite like her in every sense of the word. I know I have to wait to see her...sometimes a couple of hours, but the wait cannot compare to the care I receive from her and the time she spends with me, in no hurry, explaining all that needs to be done. She has been the ONE AND ONLY Doctor I have had throughout my history of over 35 years with Henry Ford that I cannot do without. I have had so many surgeries it would be long list to number them all, and have had many good drs., but none can compare to her
