Dr. Roger Barrett Rowles, MD

Horrible doctor

Best compassionate doctor gives best advice & information

I have been with Dr. Rowles for over 30 years. Overall he has been a great doctor, but when I had my first baby, he allowed me to PUSH for an unbelievable 3 1/2 hours. I wanted to die. I feel that he should have recognized that I wasn't making progress far earlier than that before finally making the decision to use a vacuum extractor. On the second child the same thing happened, and we had to insist that he use the same method earlier in the pushing process. Now that I am in menopause, I need help with hot flashes. (I've tried ALL of the supplements). I hear a lot about bio-identical hormone replacement, but he refuses to consider it. So he has me on synthetic hormones, even though I am wary of them. I know that he has a lot of knowledge and experience, but I think that he is getting a little old-fashioned in his approach. Just a heads-up.

Excellent doctor who did my hysterectomy that had multiple problems. I'm married to an M.D. and know this guy is good.

I was referred to Dr. Rowles when I got pregnant. He has excellent bedside manner and took time to answer my questions. With his experience, information provided by him was accurate and I could trust his judgment. He was always pleasant and professional. He was very supportive and encouraging throughout my pregnancy. His nurses are also very pleasant and supportive. I enjoyed going to his office for each visit. I would definitely love to have him as my OB again!
