Jan 31, 2020
Went into ER at Javon Bea Hosp. turned out I had to have Gall Bladder surgery right away! Dr. William Cowden was the surgeon that took care of me and was OUTSTANDING!!! Was very pleasant, attending, caring and wonderful bedside manner. I would highly recommend him!!! Had to go for a follow up after surgery and explained everything to me in words I could understand. Very pleasant and a joy to have him as my doctor.
