I had a severe joint problem that my doctor could not diagnose. He sent me to Dr. Gowin. She not only immediately figured out that I had Lime Disease and cured that, she also took control of the nagging arthritis problems that I have had for years. Seeing Dr. Gowin had dramatically improved my quality of life. I am so glad that I found her. I recommend her to anyone but especially any people who are having trouble with stiffness and aching joints. She also i s a very pleasant person to deal with.
