He listen he was polite and fear. He listens to my concern.
He is definitely a well established doctor. He didn’t have a lot to say to me because I know and he knows I have a lot of arthritis. I mean a lot and what he was trying to do was just try to match me up with a medication that will work for me so we’re starting off with Celebrex. It’s still too early to tell but I like him he’s very forward talking. He didn’t have a lot to say, but I could read between the lines I’m hoping that I’ll see him again. OK have a great day.
very good impression when i first met him, right to the point and moved things along quickly
Dr Cowan listened carefully to my concerns and promptly provided a plan of care including follow up . Highly recommend !
Straight to the point in professional
Competent, pleasant, willing to explain and understandable. Obviously knew what he was doing and made it easy with no condescending. Good pick so far! Only one visit.
Great doctor knows what he’s doing with an awesome personality.
Dr. Cowan was great with my wife and I. He took the time to explain everything well and we didn't feel rushed at all. This will be my third surgery with him. I trust him implicitly, and feel very comfortable with him as my surgeon.
Thanks!!!!
He is the best
