I wouldn't recommend this dentist or office to any one. Not even the person I disliked most in this world. Mr. Rowe on a recent visit discussed legally protected private medical information (HIPPA) with at least two people other than his staff, of a patient. His discussion, which the patient wasn't made aware of until after initially prescribed pain medication was missing from her pharmacy bag, lead to him prescribing NO pain medication after a double extraction because of biased issues. Because HIS son is an addict, possibly recovered or recovering, and the information discussed with the patients father ( once again without knowledge or consent of the patient) that was not based in fact. He only recommended motrin on a hep c positive patient who has been sober for over 13 years. When the office was contacted about the missing pain medication, Tammy the front desk staff member, was rude and unhelpful. When James Rowe was actually spoken with he refused to listen, was judgemental and told the patient " motrin wouldn't be hard on the liver, they shouldn't be smoking anyway and to be a big girl and suck it up." Not only am I not able to recommend him, I have reported him to the Board of Dentistry.

You had better ask questions about costs before you see Rowe; he's all about making money. Had to have the work he did on my teeth revised twice because of he didn't know what he was doing. Of course, I have to admit, I don't consider dentists as "doctors"; they are really just way over-paid technicians. Steer clear of this guy; he'll present you with a bill you will not believe.
