Dr. Gutowski took the time to engage thoughtfully with me and my concerns even though I do not have an "emergency" condition. She facilitated getting further testing on a timeline that works for my busy work schedule even though it wasn't the "by the book" order of events. She did not dumb down her explanation of the potential diagnoses or decision tree, which I appreciate. Follow-up testing was scheduled quickly.

Dr. Kotowski is a very, very good physician. When I first came, I was had with Dr. Lackman and I was concerned by him leaving and retiring. But Dr. Kotowski has gave me the best of service and her care, I think 100% is the reason why I'm still here and I'm alive. She referred me because she saw something on the CT scan and sent me on and ended up finding lung cancer, which was detected very early and saved my life. I really appreciate this physician and yes, she does care.

Dr Gutowski was excellent. She explained everything clearly. Unfortunately, the DVD with my MRI that I brought from Virtua Burlington was not readable by her staff. I was surprised that since there's a Cooper/Virtua link they were unable to access it through the system while I was there. After getting the MRI internally, she was able to review it and called me the next day to explain the results.

And she told me the lady would call me back in 15 minutes, but it took about an hour. But I guess she got busy with the person she had ahead of me. So I just waited patiently. You know, it was no problem. I appreciate her calling me because I live down in South Jersey. I didn't want to have to go all the way to Camden.

So this was a hard one to answer because I was a new patient and I've never met Dr. Gurtowski except for this time. So some of them it was hard for me to give like an answer like the one that I pressed to. There's just not enough data to give like an accurate answer. But she was amazing so far, seemed to really listen and give me the space to give the information that I needed. I loved the resident. He was amazing. I think that that's really fabulous because they are so hungry to learn and they're just not jaded yet and really take the time and attention to try to like troubleshoot. The other woman, I think her with the red hair that was with the resident, wasn't that she...

I don't like the trek down to Camden, and the garage has been a maze way ever since I started going there once a year, but the folks that took care of me on my visits and my surgery were top notch, and the hospital's reception seemed like something close to a five-star hotel.
