Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unresponsive
Dr Cowan, holds your prescriptions ransom if you don't go for in person visits. Although he states he has telehealth visits, he cancels them and then will state he will no longer see patients if they don't come into the office. He does not do labs at the office and only takes basic vitals, waste of time and money when telehealth is available. I am a type 2 diabetic of which was controlled with metformin, Dr. Cowan stopped my prescription without notice and will not reup it unless I agree to an in person visit. He also doesn't provide lab referrals until after an in person visit and then you need another appointment to go over results. Very unprofessional staff, especially Rebecca.

One of the best
Our entire family is under the care of Dr. Cowan. We never feel rushed and he listens and asks all the right questions. I have been a patient for over 20 years and would highly recommend this doctor.

great physician
He takes the time to listen to my issues. He is very detailed and brings a holistic approach to my care. He incorporates a traditional medical model approach as well as lifestyle wellness , which is refreshing in todays world of medicine. He's the best.

Excellent Primary Physician
My family has been with Dr. Cowan for many years. He is a very caring doctor and I always feel well taken care with him. His follow up is excellent, as well as his staff. A good man.

I had a poor telemedicine experience with Dr. Cowan. He was unwilling to try to listen to me and made a point of misunderstanding my concerns. He also didn't order the testing I needed. I did not choose to talk to him I was assigned this doc on a random basis. I would never make an appointment with him. My regular doc was very surprised that the adequate testing was not ordered and somehow at Dr. Cowan's advice I never received the results of the test that was administered. Not recommended, especially if you identify as female. Of course I don't know how this doc treats men.

I have been in this office for sometime. And noticed that Dr. Cowan is not really willing to listen to you and your questions. It's his way most of the time or the highway for you.
