Dr. Gawel is a fantastic surgeon. The experience I had during my initial consultation, through surgery and then the post op appointment was exceptional. He is very friendly, highly competent, and takes the time to explain the procedure and answer questions. I instantly knew I made the correct decision in trusting him to be my surgeon.
