    I can’t remember whenever anyone asked me to recommend any health provider. If anyone asks I would strongly recommend Dr. Cowden.

    She has a great personality and that's about all she has going for her. She rushed threw my appointment, made me feel like I was interrupting her life, kept telling me I was asking too much of my appointment because I wanted her to look at my back(disc issues) and I needed my inhaler refilled.
