Was reviewing my Yelps and thought an update might be in order. As per my prior review, my experience here was terrible. But I failed to mention that not only did they the staff and physician treat me really badly, they also misdiagnosed me with a "functional" or psychogenic neurological disorder. Translation: "It's all in your head." Well, yes, it did turn out to be in my head because I was subsequently diagnosed by competent professionals with autoimmune encephalitis (Brain on Fire). Antibodies were attacking my brain. Nice to get blamed for that.

For many years I searched for a neurologist who not only listened, but had compassion. A neurologist who was more focused on each individuals needs and not blanket care that was one size fits all. Rowe Neurology went above and beyond to find the correct diagnosis. Their staff is great and I will never trust my neurological care to anyone else.

As a patient with multiple sclerosis it was very important for me to find a doctor who take time to listen and address all my concerns to provide the best treatment. Dr. Rowe and his staff have been taking excellent care of me for 3 years now. Even though it is bit of a long drive from where I live I can't imagine ever going anywhere else. They do their own in-house testing and imaging on site at The Institute which means faster results and lower prices.
The only negative thing I have to say is it can be very difficult to get in contact with them over the phone. It is usually faster to use their online patient porthole to schedule appointments or talk to a nurse on staff and sometimes it can take a while before they get back to you. You often have to schedule appointments way in advance because they are are so busy but keep in mind they are busy for a reason. My primary care physician recommended dr. Rowe because he is the best multiple sclerosis specialists in the region.

Stay away from this nightmare! My husband started the process for sleep apnea in October, 2 sleep studies done didn't get results until February after I called numerous times for results. Finally had results sent to another office since he now works out of town and he has to do an3rd sleep study for other test they did not do which should have. My husband looks like a zombie and they take their sweet time.

In my experience, quality of patient care has gone down in the past 2 years, Dr. Rowe is always out and if you're required to be seen by a doctor or your prescription requires a doctor signature you can never be sure when you'll have to wait on the doctor being to be back in the office. There's no notification or anything regarding the doctor being out, you just find out when you contact the doctor's office and then you're out of luck.

I had a sleep study, MRI, MRA, and EEG done here. I was treated well. I had no billing issues. Nurse Practitioner Oshea spent a hour listening to problems I had. She gave me suggestions that worked. This is very uncommon in health care today. I believe Nurse Oshea really cares about her patients. I would definitely recommend Rowe Neurology to anyone.

This office consistently overbooks Dr Rowe, so expect a multiple hour wait--undoubtedly that's before you get put in a room. Dr. Rowe brings years of experience in the field to his practice. So he's a good doctor but office practices make it very disappointing overall experience.
