Few years back I was pretty sick and didnt know what it was, instead of ordering test he just gave me pills which made it worst. I did some research online and went back told him what I thought I had and sure enough he finally decided to order test and i was right. He seems to get pretty upset too if you ask him for a refernal for a speicalist on something he doesnt speicalize in... He needs to really work on his bedside manner

I had seen another Doc from his office and he was very helpful and concerned with my pregnancy. But Dr. R wasn't. I went back to see him concerned about it and I knew I didn't have much time it was critical that I seek a specailist and he didn't seem concerned. He wasn't happy that I went over his head to seek help, and I couldn't do that and the specailist shouldn't have let me push my way in. But I expressed that in this case I just couldn't just wait to die because he didn't feel it was urgent. I belive that if you had testing done and you would have cancer he wouldn't call you at all he'd wait for you to come in so he could collect more money. I don't belive he really cares about peoples health and he should retire.

Dr. Rowland has been my Dr. since I was a young child. I take my children to him now. I can see why some people see him in a bad light. He has a dry sense of humour, but people he is a Dr. not a comedien. He definately shines through in the delivery room. I would say that should be his speciality. If you had to pay for your health care people you might have a different outlook on things. He is straight forward and gets you in and out. In Cambridge I used to sit for upwards of an hour for my appointments.

Dr Rowland was my physician when I was a teenager.Despite being a "minor" he treated me with respect and treated me as a patient not a "teenager".My mother tried to access my records and was rebuffed.His retort to her was she was perhaps the unstable person in our relationship. Kudos to Dr Rowland ! Great Dr.

Over the holiday I became quite ill very quickly, I was seen within an hour of calling the office. When I got there I was seen immediatly and also found out the the Witch at the front desk has finally gone! Merry Christmas to all of the patients and the remaining friendly staff!

he may be knowledgeable, but he is the most arrogant, paternalistic and dismissive man! He also generally just seems not to like people. why would you become a doctor if you don’t like people?

I have always liked Dr.Rowland. He was the first Dr. to help me figure out my young son had Autism. ( after dealing with other doctors dismissing my worries) He then delivered my 2nd son, and was fantastic at the hospital. My cmplaint would be the staff the last two years. They really, really are awful. I miss the “old crowd” Staff who knew the patients, and were not rude. “N” at the front desk, was NEVER rude to me, I am sorry she is not there anymore.

Dr Rowland is unhelpfull, rude, pushes you out of his office without listening and his staff (Nancy mostly) thinks what they say is what goes even over the doctors say. I am sitting here with a back injury and no comp for it due to Dr Rowland not giving a crap about what people are feeling or what pain they have and not getting paper work done. As of now I am looking for a new doctor!!! I would not recommend Dr. Rowland for anyone

I find him to be patronizing, will not freely share your info with you; e.g. must ask twice to get blood pressure reading, asks why you want to know. Have experienced him making diagnosis without even examining me. Does not seem willing to take the time to talk about your condition, maybe because of what I mentioned above about not want to share your info with you. I find him arrogant. He has been my family doctor for 28 years and I found him to be an excellent dr at first but this has gradually changed over the approx. last eight years and I dread going to him.
