I have consulted with dr Cowan for many years. Since 2000. I got to have a in person appointment last spring of 2017. I wish I could have him as my doctor locally. He is very calm, very focused very knowledgeable. No matter how scary a situation can be he has ideas that give u hope and don’t freak you out. Highly recommend if u live locally and if afar for second opinions or just input for consulting health concerns

Dr Cowan helped me get back on my feet after a heart attack. I consider him a genius, though the principles are simple. Every day of full activity without drugs is a miracle. Not only am I far more healthy because of his treatment but my wife also! That is due to the diet he suggested. He is a wholistic doctor in a world of specialists. He can connect the parts.

Dr. Cowan diagnosed my Mom and told her to get to emergency as soon as possible. He saved her life. He also recommended an alternative to prednisone which the City of Hope never did. He cares, he is well read, and he truly follows the hippocratic oath which includes "first do no harm." Incredible physician.

Dr. Cowan's staff is extremely rude. He gave me the wrong diagnoses. I almost went for the wrong surgery. He has no clue what he is doing and only cares about money. He does not care about his patients and does not have good intentions.
