Dr McGowan listened to my every comment and activley tried to see me as a whole patient vs as individual symptoms. He asked me, "what else?" several times - a testament to his desire to listen and learn about his patients. Highly recommend.

More about Dr. James Mcgowan, MD
Trust is perhaps the most important component in health care. The physician relies on the patient to be honest and truthful in reporting their symptoms and concerns. The physician must be trusted that his opinions and recommendations are those that he believes are the best available. It is important that the physician acknowledges situations he is uncertain about, and make recommendations, such as referral to sources, that can give the best recommendations. A doctor/patient encounter, whether an in person visit, phone encounter etc, is only successful if both the patient and physician are satisfied with the outcome.
Dr. McGowan’s medical training was at Westminster Hospital Medical School, a part of the University of London. The next five years were spent in different hospital based Internal Medicine subspecialty training posts. On return to the United States, Internal Medicine Board Certification was obtained in Denver. Since then he has been in solo, and group practice, of general internal medicine and geriatrics.
Dr. McGowan enjoys family, including grand children, and golf in his spare time.

February 9, 2024Cary S.Verified patient
Happy I finally found a PCP that made me feel welcome n not judged. He knew about my specialist I see and has lots of respect regarding not stepping in on what he already had planned for me. I would highly recommend this clinic if Dr Mcgowen is not your cup of tea I’m positive a different provider in this clinic will be. From check in to MA , provider, lab tech they were all professional.
February 3, 2024Flor I.Verified patient
Everything is the best. I don't think i have ever expected a better doctor. He cared about me and showed compassion. It took me over a year to finally get a real professional. I am a lucky man!
January 30, 2024Paul M.Verified patient
finally felt heard after years struggling with chronic pain and issues surrounding neurodivergency. feel confident things are going to get better thanks to James McGowan who listened, acted confidently and had a wonderful sense of humor
January 15, 2024Roxanne C.Verified patient
I would not return here or recommend Dr. McGowan. Even though I mentioned a cough, I felt the doctor spent too much time looking at my chest and body in a way that made me uncomfortable. It's not like he has x-ray vision and can see my lungs through my breasts, so why stare? Additionally, the medical advice he gave me was outdated and didn't listen to my concerns because I didn't fit the "standard case" which was a decision based on decades-old research. I felt he was just calling it in and honestly a little lazy. I will not be returning.
December 28, 2023Katherine B.Verified patient
Dr. James McGowan was very friendly and helpful. He also has a great sense of humor. I can see why he has such great reviews. Overall, I had a great experience during my yearly checkup with Dr. James McGowan.

Dr.McGowan is a very knowledgeable doctor and he made me feel at ease with my current medical issues. He is also very friendly, and easy to talk to. He was very thorough with all the medical needs I had. I would definitely recommend him as a great primary care physician. He got all my referrals for specialist handled without me having to do anything. 5 Stars for everything.
October 18, 2023Cherag G.Verified patient
Fast, friendly, and prompt!
October 18, 2023Mayra R.Verified patient
This was one the best doctor's visits that I have ever had. Dr Mcgowan was terrific. He introduced himself to me and right away realized I was in pain. He immediately began to ask me questions and diagnose my condition. He communicated to me during my exam and quickly determined we needed to do a blood test and a scan to determine why I was in pain. I trust Dr Mcgowan's and will make him my primary care physician from now on.
