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.

First meeting
Good first meeting with Dr. K. He listened and made logical steps to take to reduce gastritis and reflux.

Intestinal Issues
After a Colon resection I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kosmala for issues from the surgery. Dr. Kosmala has been extremely helpful to me in addressing my issues. He’s very responsive and willing to listen. His expertise has been a positive experience for me.

He’s very professional and helpful
He has a great bedside manner. He was very helpful he called my primary doctor to tell me him what the findings were and set up an appointment with the doctors. I would highly recommend him if you need a colonoscopy. Thank you Dr. Kosmala

My recent appointment
He is very professional and kind. He patiently listened to my concerns and addressed all my concerns. I have a very painful problem that flares up from time to time. When I left his office I felt comfortable and trust he will be there for me when I need him.

Must have changes office staff
Doctor is great, good luck at getting through to the office staff. You call and go to voice mail, if you get through to someone, they transfer you to another voice mail. They say your call is important to them, but by their actions, you can tell they really don't care.

Highly Recommend!
It may be hard to believe, but Dr. Kosmala and the entire staff at Palos Surgical Center made having a routine colonoscopy a pleasant experience. Everyone was kind, positive, and professional. I particularly liked that the anesthesiologist and Dr. Kosmala took the time to introduce themselves and answer any questions I had before I was brought back into the procedure room. The follow-up has been great, including a call the next day to check on me. I highly recommend!

Finally, a doctor who listens.
Dr. Kosmala is one of the few doctors who looks you in the face, instead of the computer screen, and listens to your concerns. He offers various suggestions for treatment. Easy to talk to. I would recommend whole heartedly. As a side note, the two women at the reception desk are very unprofessional, in my opinion. They talk loudly and critically about the group's patients. Not a good look for a great practice.

Dr. Kosmala Colonoscopy and related follow up.
I have had multiple colonoscopies via Dr. Kosmala. I find him to be a very caring individual and does not jump to do things but exercises caution. He has a great bedside manner and listens and suggestions are helpful. Very kind and concerned. Highly recommend him for anything internally related.
