Dr. Tami Rowen is a dream ! I put this off for so long because of fear of hospitals and pain gives me anxiety. I'm so much more comfortable and knowledgeable about my whole productive system and how to take care of myself .

Dr. Rowen is wonderful

Apr 27, 2025

She is a leading expert in her field and has the best bedside manner. I felt completely comfortable consulting her about an awkward condition. She listened and validated my concerns, informed me about my options and associated possible outcomes and risks, and supported my final decision, letting me know that if I changed my mind in the future, I would be welcome to return. I felt empowered and relieved when I left.

Apr 15, 2025

The care provider intuitively understood my concerns and priorities. When I expressed questions and concerns, she patiently listened and offered information, solutions, reassurance. Thank you so much. This health concern has been difficult. People recommended ucsf's reputation. I have yet to receive treatment, but I already feel so much more reassured.

Apr 13, 2025

The doctor was fantastic. She walked me through everything, set expectations, allowed me to decide if I wanted an additional numbing shot and walked me through the pros/cons of accepting it. She was friendly, put me at easy, quick, and the whole experience was very easy. Couldn't have been more impressed by her care, professionalism, and bedside manner.

Mar 25, 2025

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.

The appointment couldn't have been improved upon. Everyone was helpful, efficient, friendly and respectful. I left feeling assured that I received the best possible care.

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.

Tami is great.

Nov 27, 2023

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.

Oct 17, 2023

Excellent care provider ; Doctor and the whole team !!

Sep 29, 2023

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.
