After working as an Associate Dentist with many talented dentists in Philadelphia, Hartford and NYC - and with many years of dental and post doctoral training in cosmetic and general dentistry - she was eager to return "home," back to the Hudson Valley.
Her emphasis on patient comfort, as well as, keeping up-to-date with the latest advancements in dentistry enable her to provide her patients with the best quality of care in the field. Her goal is to create a comfortable environment to fulfill the cosmetic and structural needs of patients who want to improve their image, confidence and lives.
Dr. Kowal firmly believes in the old saying, "A smile says a thousand words." For many of her patients, it is as if they are smiling for the first time. Her passion is changing her patient's frown to a magical, brite smile. Dr. Kowal reveals, "I am passionate about what I do because I can see everyday how it changes my patient's outlook on life. Words cannot describe my feeling of fulfillment when I transform someone's life and for the first time they are happy to show their beautiful smile.
In her free time, Dr. Kowal enjoys golf, karate, skiing, needlepoint, salsa dancing, napping, and spending time with her husband and 4 rescue cats and 3 dogs.
