Life Changing

I just had my one-year post-op appointment and cried when I left because Dr. Rowe has single handedly changed my life. One year ago, I walked into his clinic at just 20 years old with an undiagnosed, very rare birth defect, something that had been a massive burden I carried alone for so long. I was scared, reserved, and defeated But once I met with him, it wasn’t just my journey anymore, it became ours, and I truly felt like we were getting through it together. I had never had any type of surgery before, yet somehow I didn’t have an ounce of doubt. Dr. Rowe’s bedside manner is so special and to be acknowledged. I still remember lying on the operating table, terrified, asking where he was before going under. He placed his hand on my shoulder and said, “I’m right here with you.” and he was! Dr. Rowe and his entire staff handled such a vulnerable experience with kindness, empathy, and respect, all while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. I don’t have enough kind words to describe Dr. Rowe and the army behind him.

And to Dr. Rowe, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
