I really enjoyed how he actually showed me my x-rays so I could better understand what he was explaining. He also pointed out what everything was in my x-rays which was really interesting.

He did not “dumb it down” for me but he explained everything to me in a manner that made me feel like I was better informed about my body and that he was trying to help me understand not only my care path but also my body.

We requested Dr. Cowan when it was necessary to use immediate care on another day. He is a wonderful listener & easy to talk to. Clear instructions made the visits go smoothly.

Dr. Cowan is a terrific doctor. I had not met him before my recent visit, but I was impressed with his demeanor and willingness to determine the cause of my
problem. He actually seemed to care! Wish there were more doctors in the world like him!
