Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude
Telehealth
We waited nearly a month for our telemedicine appointment. I arrived early to the appointment, my husband arrived a little late. Dr. Cowan refused to speak to me without my husband present (despite him saying he wished to help us as a couple). The real icing on the cake was him telling me he didn't have time to meet with us because 'we weren't his only patients'. Despite my better judgement we scheduled the physical exam he recommended for my husband in person which his office called and cancelled the night before, then scheduled us with his PA(who was absolutely fantastic and kind). We never met him in person, were told he needed to operate on my husband. Nope. We left and never looked back. Found a far superior, kind, and intelligent urologist who far exceeds every aspect of Dr. Cowan. Look elsewhere, there is far better. There is no need to submit yourself to this man's arrogance.

Dr. Cowan is excellent. He has treated me for bladder, and kidney stones as well as BPH. He explained things very well and answered my questions. He was highly recommended to me by a friend and I am very glad I became one of his patients. He is much much better than my previous urologist.

HE as always taken an interest in my condition and treated and my wife, an RN, with utmost respect. He has become a fiend over the 30 years or so of treatment for my BPH.

Dr. Cowan listens intently and built my confidence from the first interaction. He ends every appointment with: "Is there anything else I can do for you?" Dr. Cowan was referred by my usual doctor who described him as one of the best in the country. I completely agree.

My provider would not allow Rezum procedure for me so I called out for help with out of pocket and Dr. Cowan's office was only one in metro Denver that answered. Since I've seen him i haven't had any emergency experiences that I was having. Now I have Medicare and have Rezum scheduled for 6-18-2020. Thank you Dr. Cowan. TURP is not for me, I want to keep "quality of life". I'll update my results in 2 months. The procedure should be my choice old provider.
