Best doctor ever I don’t like doctors. He is the only person I will really confidently and happily touch me. He saved my life a lot of times. When I see him, it feels like I’m seeing some sort of an angel. The work he’s done for me. I do not take for granted, and it inspires me to take good care of myself.
First appointment and this Doctor actually listened. Ordered appropriate tests. Very polite and kind, never mind knowledgeable.
I felt like I wasnt important to the DR. my appt. was for 8;30AM,dr came in at 8;45,I was out before 9AM,
Dr Cowan is AWESOME 👏
He gave us the information we needed to make a medical decision.
Dr. Cowan was interested in helping me and that's exactly what I need. No BS, just straight to a solution. He seems very kind and he actually listened to me. I think he'll be able to help me.
Great doctor. I can't express that enough.
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
