Dr. McGowan is the most knowledgeable and thoughtful physician I have ever met…by the way, I’m 65 years old. He’s an incredible diagnostician who has flushed out medical problems that have in one case likely saved my life.

Smooth checkin process and on time per appointment. Doctor and staff were caring and helpful. Will be sad when Dr. McGowan retires but sure the rest of the team are just as good.
