Dr Cowan was a pleasure to meet, and she was un-hurried during treatment. She explained everything she was doing and gave me a clear path forward for continued treatment. I will def recommend her.

Very personable; set me at ease immediately and I have faith in her operating ability. She explained the procedure; now I just have to figure out if I want to be awake or sedated.
