Very likable and informative. I felt comfortable the minute. She walked through the door. She did surgery on my hand before and I’ve never had one problem. It went very smoothly.

Dr. Cowan takes the time to listen and give you options for treatment, and explains any procedure she recommends. She also provides a written guide for your diagnosis, which I have found very helpful.
