Comments
I had a good visit.
Good experience.
I have confidence in this provider
Well run organization
I have been seeing Dr. Rowley since 1993. It started in the Emergency Room at Good Samaritan Hospital where I was having fast heartbeats. I have been seeing him at least annually ever since. I have not had the fast heart beats in 4 years now. (We don't know why.) We have a very good doctor/patient relationship.
Dr. Rowley is excellent. He is the best of any of my doctors.
I am so pleased with Advocate. My internist is another group and the patient focus is gone. Advocate and its doctors and staffs have a patient focus that is critical.
Dr. Rowley is very professional but he has not called me on my blood test results which I faxed to him (from Jan. 2020) after my 6/15/2020 visit.
Very good.
Excellent doctor who cares about you & your health and advise accordingly. I can recommend to all my family members & friends if they needed.
Dr. Rowley has been my cardiologist since May of 2014. He is simply the best on every level as far as my health care is concerned. I trust him completely and am constantly reassured by having his as my doctor.
Dr.Rowley and the team do a great job. I always appreciate his advice and concern for my health.
Everyone in the office is very courteous and helpful.
