Patient Reviews
Jul 14, 2020
I met with Dr. McGowan to get his opinion and advice. I provide my updated MRI of my neck and he explained in layman's terms what he would do to fix my neck problems. He was easy to talk to and answered the questions I had that day, and he answered my husband's too. You can tell that he is very experienced in his field of expertise, because he has given seminars at Universities, and his practice is data driven. He also works in the operating room with another set of eyes which is a plus for the patient. Dr. McGowan's staff is friendly and helpful. I have not yet decided on my surgery, but I know that I would trust him to perform it, once I have made up my mind.
