Comments From Patients
I really enjoyed how he actually showed me my x-rays so I could better understand what he was explaining. He also pointed out what everything was in my x-rays which was really interesting.
One of the best experiences I’ve had. Dr. read my chart before entering, treated me professionally and like an adult, showed compassion and gave me effective treatment.
The Doctor was very attentive and answered all of my questions. he didn’t seem in a hurry to leave, he genuinely wanted to address my concerns.
Have always had a good experience at the Corvallis Clinic immediate care facility. This particular doctor was new to me; he was professional, friendly and straightforward. Treatment was effective!
The provider was very thorough with treatment and discussion with me while also being quick about it. Very appreciated.
Very nice Doctor,
I thought Dr. Cowan was excellent.
Excellent doctor. Please do all you can to retain him.
He did not “dumb it down” for me but he explained everything to me in a manner that made me feel like I was better informed about my body and that he was trying to help me understand not only my care path but also my body.
We requested Dr. Cowan when it was necessary to use immediate care on another day. He is a wonderful listener & easy to talk to. Clear instructions made the visits go smoothly.
Dr. Cowan is a terrific doctor. I had not met him before my recent visit, but I was impressed with his demeanor and willingness to determine the cause of my
problem. He actually seemed to care! Wish there were more doctors in the world like him!
Dr. Cowan is a valuable asset to the clinic.
