Dr Robert Lowsky is excellent in my opinion. He has cared for me almost 12 years, and when I met with him the first time, my wife and I thought my condition was hopeless. Because of his wise knowledge concerning treatment for my AML and the gentleness he expressed as he talked us thru the plan left us both full of hope. I have unfortunately needed more encounters with many doctors over these 12 years and by far Dr Lowsky and Dr Joe Hsu, my critical care Dr at Stanford are the best in every way.
