I had a hernia surgery done by Dr. Rowell. He was very kind and took time to explain everything to me. The surgery went great. I would highly recommend him for any surgery.

I will never go back to see Dr. Rowell. He seemed distracted and I felt rushed through the visit. The office staff is unprofessional and not compassionate.
