    I didn't feel rushed during the appointment, and Dr. Rowan made sure that she answered all my questions. She also seemed more knowledgeable about my issues than other doctors I have seen.

    Dr Rowen is possibly the best provider I have ever seen, and especially within Women's Health. Her knowledge exceeds the norm by far and she appears cutting edge. I hope she is valued by your org.

    Dr. Rowen went above and beyond to care for me. She provided me with the knowledge that helped me understand my condition and the risks and benefits of each care option. After doing extensive research, I had many questions. Dr. Rowen patiently answered all of them and helped me make sense of the information. She was friendly, professional, energetic, and fun. It was a pleasure meeting her.

    Tami Rowen, listens to me, when none of my past GYN's did. She answered all questions. And 2 years ago, she referred me to a Pelvic Floor PT, who vastly improved my quality of life.

    Dr. Rowen was excellent. She seemed genuinely concerned about my situation. She took the time to talk to me extensively about my upcoming surgery. At no time did she appear to rush the appointment or disregard my concerns. I feel like I am in good hands and feel much more comfortable in regards to my upcoming surgery.
    Nov 27, 2023
    No offense to Dr. Rowan, but I hope I never have to recommend her. My condition is rather rare and very unpleasant.

    Meeting and being examined by Dr. Tami Rowen was a dream-and I've seen a lot of Ob-GYNs. She listened well, was warm and engaging), very knowledgeable, and for me during this visit to get a second opinion, wonderfully reassuring. I am SO grateful to have been referred to Dr. Rowen and UCSF.

    Dr Rowan was professional, attentive and caring. Her open demeanor made it easy to talk to her about my medical issues, even as I saw her for first time. I'm very glad for the opportunity to consult with Dr Rowan. Although it's been long and hard to schedule an appointment.

    Dr Rowen was booked until October. But made time to see me the same day she got my message. She is one of the very best, most caring, doctors I have ever had.
