Broke fibula was in cast for 3 weeks takes off put me in boot was in 5 weeks because they cancelled apt didn’t bother to tell anyone! In meantime kept calling telling them something wasn’t right they kept saying oh it’s all normal! Decided because of this and how his bedside manners were that was goin to get a second opinion did that retook X-ray dr comes back in and says you want the bad news he’s like it’s never healed this X-ray looks just like the day you broke it! Had surgery the next week had a plate and 6 screws put in and totally different on how it feels now!

Had two knee surgery's from this doctor. He essed up my right knee then wanted to do a knee replacement an i refused. It was under workers comp an he wanted the money. It went on for almost 4 years an he lied several times, i have documents from where he could not even remember what knee it was an what he was soppose to be doing. He needs to be put out of business. If you are smart stay away from him

I found him to be very kind and knowledgeable. He was very concerned and responsive. He was extremely busy so changing appointments was hard. Now at 10 years after I don't have any trouble with my wrist or knee. I had several pins and screws in my knee and the wrist had to be "rebuilt" because it was so badly broken. It is amazing that after all this time I still don't have any trouble with either the knee or the wrist.

my left clavicle was broken into three pieces in an accident. Thanks to Dr Rowan it is difficult to discern a difference between my right and left side. I have no loss of mobility in my arm or shoulder movement. It is nearly five years later and I am ever grateful for his excellent work. The doctor was reserved in speaking but handled my situation with diligence and skill.
