My visit to Dr. Cowan was great. The office is very efficient and all the staff is kind and helpful. Dr. Cowan helped me understand my condition and answered my questions in a clear and concise manner. Thank you.
Easy to talk to and very helpful
Awesome Dr. very knowledgeable. A lot of years experience. Go see him for broken bones, arthritis and any other bone condition. Recommend Highly!!
I was not pleases with the service I received. The visit was very rushed, and lack empathy to the degree of my pain. He did't examine my injury attentively, and I left his office feeling upset and disappointed.
Very helpful and very informative
