This was a very important call for me, a visit for me with Dr. Kwolek, and clearly she came very well prepared. I was very depressed about things going on in my personal life. She fully understood, was very sympathetic, and better than that, she gave me some tips and even prescriptions to help me through a very difficult period. I think this is wonderful, and this is what primary care physicians should always do. Thank you.

Dr. Kwolek is extremely personable and easy to talk to. She is extremely knowledgeable about all the body systems and has close and great rapport with my other main specialists at MGH. She clearly had behind the scenes conversations with them after my last few appointments with her and after their appointments with me. Intercommunication between them is so admirable and comforting! When she says she will talk to my other doctors about my issues or questions, she clearly does. Dr. Kwolek is an excellent listener, and asks probing questions to get clarity on my issues and concerns. She interprets my lab tests and other testing in understandable terms, and helps me put them into perspective and set goals, when needed. I feel SO VERY fortunate to have her for my PCP!! I would recommend her to anyone! [redacted]
