The office staff is horrible. They take no responsibility for their actions or how they treat patients or potential new patients. It's a shame doctor's are great but the office staff needs to be replaced.

I have been a patient of Dr Cowart for years. She is one of the best doctors i have ever visited. She has a caring attitude, she listens to your problems and concerns, she explores all options, and she explains what she is doing and why. The staff has always been courteous and efficient. I never take the time to write reviews, but when I read some of Dr. Cowart's bad reviews, I felt compelled to add my opinion.

Report
Jeff Garrard was a mediocre doctor. He listened to problems but just liked to prescribe medications to masks problems rather than fix them, or send you off to another specialist. The worst is the office staff, specifically the office manager Sharron who is an insidious and flippant person. I was removed from their patient list because Sharron lied on my file saying I asked to leave. This was retaliation because my wife's doctor, Karen Allen, may have treated my wife unethically in her practices and when we confronted the office, Sharron opted to ignore the violation and subsequently removed both of us from the practice.

We love Dr Garrard and the staff here! 2 of my 3 children have some special needs and he has been such a blessing as a physician foe them- we've tried several pediatric practices in town and he is the first doctor we've found who actually listens and is proactive rather than saying we should wait and see regarding concerns. Plus, he's great with our kids. They love him and his nurse!

I absolutely Love this practice. I have been a patient of Dr. Cowart for 11yrs. She has been the best physician and very kind. She has seen me through many health concerns and I trust her implicitly. The nurses are very nice and helpful. My husband is a patient of Dr. Garrard and really likes him. If you can get into this busy practice as a new patient, I highly recommend them.
