How likely are you to recommend Dr. McGowan?
Dr. McGowan is an excellent doctor. She has been my 3 kids pediatrician since they were born. She is very patient and very thorough in her examinations when they are sick and in their yearly physical. My kids love visiting her. We follow her where ever she has worked and we don't mind driving 2 hours to see her even if it is for a well visit. She always tries not to over medicate and I love that.
