Amazing doctor with an equally amazing staff and facility. Check in is done thru a kiosk and you are even served specialty coffee! Only one small problem: reception desk was not aware of how to pull ZocDoc check-in docs from the website. Nonetheless, I'd highly recommend it.

Dr. Rowsey was professional, caring, and courteous. My eye injury was assessed and treated effectively. This was a very positive visit.
More than 1 year agoCC
I originally saw Dr. Rowsey for routine eye infection and during visit I discussed the fact that I was having increased vision problems. After further examination, he discovered I had cataracts in both eyes. Now-a few months later I have had surgery in both eyes & see 20/15! I could not be happier. These are amazing eye surgeons.
