Common complaints

  • Perceived lack of attentiveness or interest from specific providers
  • Concerns regarding thoroughness of examinations

"The office staff was efficient and friendly and I saw the doctor with minimal delay. Unfortunately Dr. Gowen was awful. He didn't seem to want to be there. He didn't check my prostate... and didn't ask a single question... he was clearly more concerned about his health than about mine."

"Staff was courteous [Did Well: 8/8]; Explained conditions and treatments [Did Well: 5/5]; Answered my questions [Did Well: 7/7]"
