Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Dr. ! Highly competent.He listened was empathetic and took action to help me with my pain and mobility, related to my osteo arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune inflammatory disease) He was the second orthopedist I had to go to for the same problem, the first doctor did nothing to help address my pain but Dr Rowley wanted ne to have relief, he drained excess fluid causing swelling in my knee and gave me a steroid injection which gave me relief! and isn't that what we go to a doctor for? I am a Registered Nurse and I Highly recommend Dr Rowley

I was visiting my sister in Pawleys Island in May. I tripped and fracture my hip. Dr. Rowley was an excellent surgeon. He was reassuring, patient and so understanding. At my follow up appointments he took time to answer questions and advised me. His office staff in the market commons office were wonderful. Thank you Dr. Rowley EIleen Ferrando NJ.

I have a number of years of experience with the orthopedic department at Lewis Gale. Both in the beginning and currently, I would highly recommend them. Dr. Rowley, Chris Guth PAC, the nursing staff and front desk have been excellent. I have confidence in Dr. Rowley and his abilities to care for me. For me personally, this is very important and definitely makes a difference in my recovery.

My daughter just started her freshman year at college 2 weeks ago. Last week while playing volleyball she fell and broke her foot. After being seen at the E.R. she needed a follow up. We are not from this area and I wasn't sure who to follow up with. I am so grateful her follow up was with Dr. Rowley. Everybody in his practice has been so helpful and wonderful. They got my daughter in quickly and I felt comfortable and confident my daughter is in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Rowley.
