- September 17, 2023 Just have one item that could be addressed…Dr Cowen ordered some meds for me but somehow through communication my scripts never made there way to my pharmacy…I waited until the next day to attempt to pick them up, allowing for more time for them to make their way into my pharmacy’s system but still nothing happened. This is a bud issue for me because I am leaving town on Monday morning, work reasons, before the pharmacy opens so this delays my treatment for at least a week! So I’m pretty upset due to the delay! Please check this issue out please to see what happened. Thanks….

- May 6, 2023 Not a knock on him specifically - but think it would be better to get the side effects of the meds from the doctor's office instead of the pharmacy tech or info packet. - i wouldn't have agreed to take this Rx for a sinus infection if I knew it could cause diarrhea for weeks to months after using the drug. this side effect alone will probably cause me not to finish this Rx

- February 1, 2023 Well, I'm still trying to get use to Christopher Cowen.
- January 29, 2023 I am satisfied with ALL, except for how they do blood pressures, using a table top unit like that I can buy in Walgreens or CVS. I have high blood pressure, take meds, usually runs at a decent number. The table top unit measured 142/82, Chris checked the old fashion way with arm cuff and stethescope measured at 132/70. ALL Atrium locations I go to use blood pressure, temps, and oxygen level on a roller unit, this office does not. To me, the old way of doing blood pressure is the only way to get a true reading.
