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.

Explains all options. So far all have worked out. Successful surgery for carpels. Injections for trigger have also worked well

Fantastic. Highly recommend.
Initial visit- Dr. Gower is a consummate professional, reflected from his AF service no doubt. Explained my ailment in layman's terms, and what treatment and options were going forward. Genuinely nice guy to work with. Highly recommend.

Personable, informative, knowable and sincere, caring about my issues and took the time to explain.. I work in the medical field but i have no associated with this office or Dr Gower. Being in the medical field I could be a bit critical and also praising when things go right. I can't think of a bad thing with my appointment and interaction with him. Absolutely recommend.
