Excellent doctor... he was the first Doctor Who came up with a very reasonable diagnosis, after I had been seeing several doctors for a significant pain issue.

Listened to my case which had compound problems. Went out of his way to solve another problem. I've met him once and feel like I am in good hands.

I like Dr. Rowan. He actively listened to me and offered multiple treatment options. I felt more like a patient and less like a number as compared to others I've seen.

This was my first office visit with Dr. Andrew Rowan. Dr. Rowan was very professional, punctilious, patient, personable, and knowledgeable. He was all-business and explained my medical issues in plain-English and with direct, common-sense answers to my questions. He is an excellent teacher and used both articulate, verbal communication and visual imaging to help enhance my understanding of complex anatomical concepts.I like Dr. Rowan and would recommend him.
