"I have worked with Richard Kowal for the past 15 years and I have found his input into my practice invaluable in terms of my obese patients losing weight, irritable bowel patients obtaining symptomatic relief, managing lipid disorders, insulin resistance and diabetes. I believe every Internal Medicine practice should be associated with a nutritionist of Dr. Kowal's caliber. I would personally refer anyone to him. "
