    How was your appointment with Dr. Kovach III?

    Jan 15, 2023
    Two doctors before him couldn't figure out what to do about a scar that's been bothering me for 2.5 years. He used laser surgery and after 2 of 3 treatments, I've improved tremendously. I also went to two other doctors about a different scar. He removed it and when I still had problems, he removed a suture that had not dissolved. I feel much better. He's also a mensch!
