I, family members, and clients have been treated by him numerous times over the years, and he has been excellent. Looking forward to my coming hip replacement, after the terrific result from the one in the other hip, 14 years ago.

Dr Rowan is always pleasant and attentive with me. He's patient and listens! He answers all of my questions and makes sure I understand by explaining in medical and layman’s terms. Thank you Dr. Rowan. I also appreciate his PA Eric.

Doctor doesn't treat patients as individuals but instead goes by percentages which works, well like percentages until the outlier comes. Prior conditions and even medications were ignored, as per intake form. During vist Dr had an intern see me with out my permission. During visit doctor only referenced percentages of outcomes. When I brought up having aids since 1996 he didn't even flinch. Also no mention of concerns about medication I take as listed on intake form, as the doctor only looked at percentages. The doctor prescribed pt which will only aggravate my injury due to ignored medication and chronic disease. Finally the Doctor "whispered" in front of me instructions to intern on when to send it up a level to next Dr.
Totally rude Dr with so much confidence and authority he doesn't need to treat patients, just collide and go by percentages.
Jul-2024

Dr. Rowan is always a pleasure to see. In the fifteen or so years that he has been my "knee guy" I've never had a bad experience. So sorry to hear he is starting to plan his retirement. I am sure he will be missed by many.

Dr Rowan was pleasantly direct and concise while discussing my condition. It wasn’t good news but I appreciated his “bottom line” assessment. No beating around the bush or recommending I try previous treatments again and again. I will follow his recommendations and he has made my decision much easier to make.

Dec-2023
I felt that Dr Rowan was a bit judgmental and insensitive when I shared with him my sensitivity to radiation. He stated that such a thing was absurd and unheard of, and that I would get just as much or more radiation sitting in front of my tv. I refuse the radiation and I also watch very little tv. He scheduled me for physical therapy.
Dec-2023
Exceptional patient care! Really cares about you.

Dr Rowan and his PA Eric, along with the entire staff at Guilford Orthopedics, are top notch. I have been in the health care industry on the business, customer service, and patient relations side of things for 33 years.

Did not see Dr Rowan. Saw Eric Phillips PA. He was very thorough and did not recommend more than PT and anti-inflammatories, which I was VERY happy with! Also asked me to schedule followup if pain is not resolved in 6 weeks.
Dec-2022
Friendly, caring, knowledgeable, and concerned about patient's well-being and out-of-pocket costs. I went from being barely able to walk for a week to walking almost normally by the end of the day of the visit.

I am quite please with the outcome of the surgery.

Jun-2022
We would like to thank Dr. Rowan and his entire staff for an excellent experience.
From the initial evaluation and consultation, to post-op surgery. You and your staff have provided excellent care. Your attention to every detail is unsurpassed. We appreciate the individual time and care each of you took with us. You were so detailed in what to expect pre-op and post –op. We could not have asked for better care from the beginning to the end of surgery. We just can’t say enough about how positive our experience was.
The surgical center was equally as impressive. From the staff to the actual facility and care was all topnotch.
We appreciate all of the hard work it has taken each and every one of you to provide such exemplary service.
Sincerely,
Michael & Mahala Warwick
Jun-2022

Experience makes a difference. Options and procedures were explained, questions I had were discussed mostly in our informational conversation without me having to ask. Dr. Rowan has repaired my torn rotator cuff in the past. Trust is something he has earned.

Exceptional orthopedic surgeon.

I love Guilford Orthopaedics
May-2022
Very friendly personable. Gives lots of info & feedback
Apr-2022
Didn’t see Dr Rowan but a PA instead.
Apr-2022
It saddens me to give this rating. Because Dr. Rowan is a very good surgeon. I feel with his full schedule he gets overwhelmed and stressed. But there's no reason to take it out on your patient. The first few times he was short with me. I just let it go as a bad day. This last time for a Doctor to talk down to you every time you ask a question is very unprofessional and disrespectful. All I ever wanted was his help and knowledge.
Apr-2022
Seemed rushed, but helpful in giving me an injection.
Apr-2022
Very nice and highly experienced. They knew what was wrong after a quick exam.
Apr-2022
He listened and we came up with a plan to move forward.
Mar-2022
Although I didn’t see Dr. Rowan for this particular visit, I did see his PA, Eric, and I would definitely extend that 5 star rating to him! He took his time going over my MRI result with me, discussing my options, and putting a steroid injection into my knee. Couldn’t have asked for a kinder more professional experience.
Mar-2022
Pleasant, in and out fast, no wasted time
Mar-2022
I am very pleased with the results of my surgery. Not only do my knees work better but I also now have two matching straight knees. No more bow legs!

Everything he told me to expect happens and I am so thankful for him and his team
Feb-2022
I value Dr Rowan’s opinion with my hip & foot problems. He is very knowledgeable & has had lots of experience. My doctor wanted a second opinion so sent me to Dr. Rowan.

Did not see the doctor only say the PA and he was very good
Jan-2022
Saw the PA Eric. Very pleased and confident in his abilities. Thanks
Dec-2021
Saw his assistant not dr. Rowan and he asked me how can I help you I’ve been going to this facility since July 2021and now they tell me that I have to lose weight for knee replacement surgery because my BMI high you could’ve told me that in July 2021 the assistant also said that it’s a requirement that the insurance ask for
So I called my insurance and it’s not a requirement
this was the worst experience that I’ve ever had at a doctors office
Dec-2021
Dr. Rowan says what is needed And I find that's the best to work with
Nov-2021
The entire team is professional and works like a fine tuned clock. Always felt my care was top notch. Dr. Rowan always took the time needed to answer all questions. He was timely and present. So pleased with my 8 weeks of care.
Nov-2021
Well pleased with my Grandson visit at you office on 11-11-2021.
Nov-2021
He was kind, informative, no nonsense kind of guy. Told me everything I needed to know about the hip replacement surgery. My only complaint is that I have to wait to long to get it done! Praying he has a cancellation!! I’m ready!!
Nov-2021
As always, outstanding all around. Thank you! Alex
Nov-2021
Dr. Rowan, is kind, intelligent and an excellent surgeon.
He explains everything; at times he answers questions before they're asked. Great results post op knee.
Nov-2021
Dr.Rowan explained everything to me In easily understandable words. He was very reassuring.
Oct-2021
This summer I had two knee replacements (at separate times) with Dr. Rowan. They both went well - all due to the brilliant kind care of both Dr. Rowan and his PA Eric Phillips. Total knee replacements are tough, but these two, their staff and their physical therapists were helpful every step of the way - with good advice, quick responses to my calls with questions, patient understandable explanations, and clean offices. Many thanks to them all for my successful surgeries and recovery.
Oct-2021

Jul-2021
Dr Rowan helped me when other Dr's wouldn't. He is very knowledgeable and a skilled surgeon. He actually listens too.
Jul-2021
Very focused, which is a good thing for getting to the point. I was very Thandie the assistant met with me due to the fact I'm sure he paraphrased as much as possible for Dr Rowan. He jumped right to the point and did answer my questions. He gave recommendations which I appreciated.
Jul-2021
Dr. Rowan was wonderful. Explained everything to me, and patiently answered all of my questions.
Jul-2021
Dr Rowan is the best. He always gets to the bottom of your problems in short order. Three surgeries later I hope he never retires.
Jul-2021
Caring and knowledgeable. I had a left anterior hip replacement and I hope he's available if and when I have my right hip replacement, then we can adjust my legs evenly.
Jul-2021
Thanks for your expertise and your time!
Appreciate your candid advice and practical photo of my problem!
Jul-2021
Very good experience !
Jun-2021
Dr Rowan you are the best! Your thoroughness in explaining procedures provided me with such peace of mind and the assurance the referral to you was spot on. Thank you so very much!
Jun-2021
Takes time to examine me and explain what’s going on. Thanks
Jun-2021
Very Professional,took time to explain the situation
Jun-2021
Fantastic surgeon. He took on my issue when other surgeons were unable or unwilling to help me. He is thorough and knowledgeable. He also takes the time to explain what is going on.
Jun-2021
My surgeon referred me to Dr. Rowan and had spoken to him prior to my arrival. He not only acted like he had no idea about that he made me feel that I was wasting his time even being in his office. He then proceeded to try the scare tactic by telling me that if I had the surgery I would get an infection and lose my leg. When that didn't work, he then told me to go to the bariactric clinic to get a sleeve done. His PA was embarrassed and I was embarrassed for him. I have never been treated so unprofessional in my life. He took one look at me and assumed that I was fat, uneducated and lazy. He had NO answers for me! He didn't even suggest PT or strengthening exercises. I am overweight and I know it. I look in the mirror every morning. I can lose weight and if I choose to it will be done the good old fashioned healthy way, not by some drastic surgery that we all know doesn't work half the time. I will not return to this clinic, nor would I ever recommend it to anyone else.
May-2021
VERY PERSONABLE AND ANSWERS ALL QUESTIONF

Dr. Rowan is the most kind and personable man. His level of knowledge and ability to explain medical information in the most simple way makes me as a patient so comfortable when I have questions.
Jun-2020
Dr Rowan has always been nothing less than the best all the way around. The fluid he drained from my replaced knee yesterday provided more relief than I can put into words but I’ll try. Range of motion is one thing but pain-free, effortless ROM is another level entirely and there’s much more to it.
Jun-2020
Thanks Dr Rowan for talking to me about my condition with my knees and legs.

Mar-2020
This is my doctor but I've only been seen by him 4 maybe 5 times out of the years I've being going there. Usually it's his assistant.
Jan-2020
I find Dr. Rowan to be very professional and knowledgeable. he always has time for questions and is never in a hurry to blow you out the door. I told 2 friends about him today and they both want me to refer them to Dr. Rowan. He will be doing a total knee replacement for me later this year. I have every confidence it will go great.

Oct-2019
I have been a patient of Dr, Rowan’s over 30 yrs and have always been pleased with his bedside manner and treatment.
Oct-2019
Dr Rowan is a kind, insightful person who takes time to listen. He is an excellent surgeon who was unrelenting in pursuing the cause of my pain.
Oct-2019
My last visit, he didn't even look at the area I was being seen about. The only time he turned in my direction was when I asked about the side effects of a prescription he prescribed. My previous experiences were not this way.
Oct-2019
terrific bed side manor and very easy to talk with.
Sep-2019
did not spend enough time with me to really know my problem. Was in room less than 5 minutes.

Sep-2019
What I want from a doctor: Focus, directness, and ability to listen (to make sure I "got the message & information straight.") This also describes the experience I had with Dr. Rowan and his associates.

Love my Dr done great on rt knee replacement
Jun-2019
He found out what was the problem with my Knee when no one had found it. I sure do operate his good work.
Jun-2019
I was disappointed as I had an appointment with Dr. Rowan but the PA is the only one I saw. They should have told me that when I made the appointment that morning.
Jun-2019
Dr Rowan is always professional and answers my questions completely. Also found out our birthdays are the same day so of course...that's icing on the cake! LOL :)
Jun-2019
Dr Rowan is a perfect doctor.
Jun-2019
I say terrible because I never saw him, only the PA. The PA said the doctor was coming in and he didn't. You would think your first visit he would come in to meet you. Your relationship with a doctor is important and this did not set a good tone.
Jun-2019
In all my appts, this doctor never examined me. All he did was order tests and read results. He was never prepared for my appts. He read results as I was in the exam room. At the end he told me he didn't know why I was suffering.
Jun-2019
Great experience so far! Dr. Rowan speaks to me honestly and clearly. Tems what I need to know to make the best decisions available to me. Not one of those docs who makes my choicesconfusing, or who has one hand on the doorknob while dealing with me.
Jun-2019
Dr. Rowan and staff are very compassionate and knowledgeable. They take the time needed to talk to patients and explain clearly. Dr. is a great surgeon.
Jun-2019
Excellent surgeon! He has replaced three hips for me. After my last hip replacement I was walking with no walking aids after 4 days.

Love that Dr. Rowan spends time with his patients but not happy having to wait an hour to see him. Maybe his schedule could be adjusted so long. My time is also valuable.

Always right to the point and explains well.
I, family members, and clients have been treated by him numerous times over the years, and he has been excellent. Looking forward to my coming hip replacement, after the terrific result from the one in the other hip, 14 years ago.
Best Ever !!!
Best doc ever, and quite the accomplished artist!!!

Very satisfied with Dr Rowan an associate been a patient there for years
Dr Rowan is always pleasant and attentive with me. He's patient and listens! He answers all of my questions and makes sure I understand by explaining in medical and layman’s terms. Thank you Dr. Rowan. I also appreciate his PA Eric.
Doctor doesn't treat patients as individuals but instead goes by percentages which works, well like percentages until the outlier comes. Prior conditions and even medications were ignored, as per intake form. During vist Dr had an intern see me with out my permission. During visit doctor only referenced percentages of outcomes. When I brought up having aids since 1996 he didn't even flinch. Also no mention of concerns about medication I take as listed on intake form, as the doctor only looked at percentages. The doctor prescribed pt which will only aggravate my injury due to ignored medication and chronic disease. Finally the Doctor "whispered" in front of me instructions to intern on when to send it up a level to next Dr. Totally rude Dr with so much confidence and authority he doesn't need to treat patients, just collide and go by percentages.
