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.

Carlene Henry Harper In August 2021 Dr. Cowling said to me " Don't worry I'm going to make you feel better." He did. He operated on me. Dr. Cowling is an amazing Surgeon. He cares about his patients and their medical needs. I recommend Dr. Cowling to all people. After my surgery my family and friends call the hospital and noticed in my voice I was feeling better. To me Dr. Cowling is a 5 star Doctor, if there were more stars I will apply more but 5 star is the top of the line and He is. He is professional and very knowledgeable. The staff are friendly and proficient.
