I had carpal tunnel relief surgery and a cyst removed from the same hand last week. Dr. Cowan was fantastic. I highly recommend her for all of your arm and hand needs.

Going in for a cortisone shot can be nerve wracking but Dr Cowan calmed my shaking hand and made the experience as good as it can be. She answered all my concerns and did not give me the bum’s rush out the door.
