Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Mcgowan
- Josh r.
Honest, Not into Jokes, Knowledgeable. Dr. McGowan is a fantastic, knowledgeable doctor with a great amount of experience in HIV. Although, I am a bit of a joking-kinda fella, she's a bit more straight-laced, which is fine for medical reasons, but one would be the one thing that would help make the visits a bit less nerve-racking for me, personally. She will always answer every question that I have, very thoroughly and she never makes me feel rushed or on a time clock. She's also fantastic and email correspondence -- for those quick one question type moments all patients, like myself, have from time to time. All that to say-- I literally couldn't imagine anybody better here in Nashville to be HIV specialist (and really who I consider my primary care physician).
