Dr. Deborah Kowalchuk, MD

5-STAR here also.

Dr. Kowalchuk was pleasant, review my x-ray and discussed my healing timeframe which didn’t require a surgery. Additionally, she discussed my path back to cycling and running. The only negative was a 45 min wait in the lobby to be seen.

I am very grateful for Dr Kowalchuk and her staff. They were very knowledge and caring. They took the time to explain and answer all of my questions regarding my surgery and recovery. I highly recommend Dr Kowalchuk and her team.

Everything from the scheduling, to the friendly reminders and the online preparation (patient info) before the visit, to the friendly staff made this another great experience. Dr. Kowalchuk is very personable, knowledgeable and professional. She has me on the right track again to heal what has been a painful issue.

In the months since my first visit and long after the steel pins came out of my toes, Dr. Kowalchuk has always been extremely thorough and professional. She also has a remarkably genuine bedside manner. She practices active listening and compassion. IF I HAD TO, I would gladly choose her to operate on my OTHER foot too! Yesterday morning, I walked 8.3 miles before the sun came up and the once shattered foot came through for me with flying colors. No pain or soreness at all. It “might” be stronger and more stable than it was before my accident. What a blessing it was to have her provide me with exceptional care! Thank you!!!!

She performed Zadek Osteotomy surgery in Mar 2023

Her knowledge and skill are unmatched

My wife saw Dr. Kowalchuk at the Johns Creek facility yesterday. Dr. Kowalchuk blew in and out of the exam room showing the new modern medicine technique of seeing as many patients as possible in a day but spending no time with any of them. There was no warmth and no showing of concern for someone with two fractures and in a fair amount of pain. Her assistant told us she would have a prescription for pain sent to our pharmacy. Nothing yesterday so I called and was told that Dr. Kowalchuk would sign the prescription when she got a chance. Really? Five seconds to sign something is a burden? This morning, still nothing at the pharmacy. Wow. A doctor who doesn't care at all, doesn't complete treatment and doesn't follow up. Stay away from Dr. Kowalchuk and the Johns Creek Resurgens facility.

Dr. Kowalchuk listens to your concerns and professionally addresses them.

Good treatment but poor bedside manner

Dr Kowalchuk and her staff were very patient and friendly. Took the time to explain my condition and different types of treatment. I never felt rushed or unimportant. I would definitely recommend her for your foot or ankle problems.

Dr. Kowalchuk pinpointed the probable location of the source of my pains around my left outer ankle. No broken bones. I feel better about healing with the PT prescription and foot-ankle brace. Thank you, Doctor.

Everything was done well and professionally. I would use her again myself.

She gave me all the details about my problem. She gave me all possible treatments. What I liked the most was the time she gave during this visit

She was professional and hurried. I assume she was booked up and had more important things to do. It's all good, I guess. But I would not choose her again.

I’ve returned to dance after cancer. I got a sprain. I had seen her many years ago for plantar fasciitis and she was just as awesome this time. Really cares about getting you safely back to what you love!

So far very satisfied. I feel she is being very cautious because I have so many general health issues that have made my recovery time more challenging for her and me. No issues except she is a Phillies fan.

Dr. Kowalchuk was personable and listened to my experience and concerns. She was able to diagnose what was going on and give me a good treatment plan.

Like many before me have stated, her bedside manner is an issue. She is dismissive of symptoms that don’t align with her personal opinions of your injury. She comes off arrogant, uncaring, and immature. Skilled or not, she lacks the basic etiquette required to be a good doctor.

This was my first appointment with Dr Kowalchuk and she diagnosed the problem pretty quickly. She was careful and thorough. She spent a lot of time asking relevant questions and took time to make sure I understood all the info and the care plan.
