Reviews
Very personable and listened to all my concerns without feeling like I was being rushed.
Dr. Kasmala is a great GI doctor. I'm glad I found him.
Check in was quick, wait time was very short and the staff was excellent. Dr Kosmala introduced himself before the procedure and visited afterwards. Not sure it could've gone any smoother. Would definitely recommend.
Dr. Kosmala is an excellent doctor. He takes the time to clearly explain your diagnosis & treatment options, never rushing through anything. He is both very friendly & professional. I feel confident I'm in good hands with Dr. Kosmala.
I had my colonoscopy this week, Dr Kosmala was wonderful. He took the time before my procedure to answer any questions.
Afterwards he saw me in recovery, discussed everything that transpired in terms I understood . Dr Kosmala has a great bedside manner, professional and kind.

Dr Kosmala is the best. He listens to everything you say & generally cares how you feel & you never feel rushed on your appointments. It’s a rare find to have such a caring & compassionate Dr.
I first met him cause he was an on call Dr at Palos Hospital where I had emergency gallbladder surgery. He was so kind to me making sure I was aware of everything going on & checking how I was doing. I chose to make him my permanent Gastro Dr & so glad I did.

Knowledgeable, easy-going, accurate. 3 qualities that differentiate the best from the rest. I can understand now why more physicians recommend Dr. Kosmala.
Dr. Kosmala was very attentive to me. He gave me plenty of time and didn't seem rushed. I told him my symptoms and he gave me his opinion, suggested a medication and gave me an order for a test. I was very pleased with my visit with him. Dr. Kosmala appeared to me as a good doctor and very caring.
Dr. Kosmala is the best! He is caring, thorough and and professional. He did a very difficult colonoscopy for me that two other doctors had been unable to do.
