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.

Didn’t have to wait long to see doctor. He got to the point and provided care I needed. They give sedation for injections and that is such a relief most doctors don’t do that. Overall good experience.

Very disturbing experience. Left humiliated and belittled simply because my condition was not common for my age. He seemed angry that I went to the ER in pain after he abruptly stopped pain medication that I had a severe allergic reaction to...yet it was his own nurse who advised me to go to the ER immediately. I was in tears and as kind as possible. I truly hope this doctor learns how to have compassion for his patients..

Seeing this doctor's office was a aweful experience. You dont get treatment options, you do what they want or nothing and I have severe pain so I have to take it, they didn't give me instructions for a new back brace, and they lied to me about the medication they were sending in for me. I would give a zero if I could.

My mother was treated horriby by him and his staff. He nor his P.A. have any bedside manner or compassion. She has been dealing with chronic pain in her back and has a degenerative disease. My mom has been through a failed surgery and has tried every treatment that has been offered. Still Dr Rowe tried pushing injections on her which she has already done might I add! Still no relief. Dr Rowe if you happen to read this I hope you remember the Hippocratic oath you took. I hope you, your staff and anyone you love never have to go through chronic pain. I hope that you can find compassion and understanding when dealing with patients who are in pain. I hope you will see those patients as people and not just a number. My mom has always been hard working and active until this disease took that from her. You made her feel less than and worthless. I hope no-one ever makes you feel that way.

My experience was horrible. Staff refused to renew prescriptions no matter what. I ran out of meds during hurricane, i called in and no one called me back. Dr Rowe only seems interested in the number of injections he can do.If you want some real caring treatment, don't come here.

I have been seen by 3 different doctors over the past 13 years but Dr Rowe was the only one who was able to target my actual source of pain with the injection. He was the only Dr that found I also have a extra vertebra! He cares very much about his patients and does not over prescribe. Everyone single person in his office is sweet and charismatic. If it wasn't for him I would be very depressed from constant pain. If you are looking for the best in the Bluffton or Pooler area he is the only one I would trust to help.

Docto Row is a very money hungry evil dr. He does not care about his patients at all the only thing he cares about is money!!!! The first time I ever seen the man I had to wait over 2 hours to see him my back started to spasm so I told the staff I would go good a muscle relaxer Dr. Rowe came into the office his bedside manner is very poor and because he could not inject me he released me from his practice without even the 30 day treatment after release to allow me to see another doctor

I am disabled and handicapped and doctorow was only interested in pushing an expensive treatment that my other doctors said was too risky. he wouldn't even listen to me and became disinterested when he could not make more money. He even mocked my other doctors. And basically accused me of being a drug addict

P.A statement to Dr. Rowe was mischaracterized to the point of being an out right lie. Dr. Rowe's beside manner was very disturbing in light of the false info. he was fed. An assistant was brought into the room to further humiliate me. My character was assassinated & I felt belittled and embarrassed & falsely accused. Charged $892 to be humiliated and receive no pain killers which I declined. My co pay is $134.75 & I'm not broke but I refuse to pay this bill even if it cost more in legal fees.
