Rowe Neurology Institute

"I am a polysomnogrsohic technologist (RPSGT) and I interviewed for a sleep technologist job. I have a ton of experience, am at the top of my field, and had managed a Sleep Lab in another state. So, the Sleep Lab is the only aspect of this practice I can speak to. It is by far the shabbiest, most uncomfortable exoerience (for the patient) and Rowe uses old technology to collect the many channels of data. I was completely horrified at the practice and RAN far, far away as fast as I could. You could not actually pay me enough money to work at Rowe. And if I recall correctly, I was actually harassed by the Sleep Lab manager when I turned down the job offer. And interviewed with Dr. Rowe and it was the most bizarre interview I've ever had in my career of over 20 years. If you are a patient, just don't. It's a huge NO! Stick with a hospital Sleep Lab. There are plenty in the KC Metro."

"As a patient with multiple sclerosis it was very important for me to find a doctor who take time to listen and address all my concerns to provide the best treatment. Dr. Rowe and his staff have been taking excellent care of me for 3 years now. Even though it is bit of a long drive from where I live I can't imagine ever going anywhere else. They do their own in-house testing and imaging on site at The Institute which means faster results and lower prices. The only negative thing I have to say is it can be very difficult to get in contact with them over the phone. It is usually faster to use their online patient porthole to schedule appointments or talk to a nurse on staff and sometimes it can take a while before they get back to you. You often have to schedule appointments way in advance because they are are so busy but keep in mind they are busy for a reason. My primary care physician recommended dr. Rowe because he is the best multiple sclerosis specialists in the region."

"Dr. Rowe and his staff are the best! The care and compassion i have received there over the years has been a great help to me. I have received amazing care and 7 years into my MS diagnosis I am holding steady and not physically declining. They also helped tremendously with my migraine and chronic back and neck pain."

"I'm puzzled by some of the negative reviews. I had no trouble scheduling appointments. All phone calls were returned promptly. The patient portal works beautifully for communication with the Institute once you are a patient. I strongly recommend using the patient portal! When I requested that my records be sent elsewhere for a second opinion regarding neurosurgery (which Dr. Rowe supported), all of my records were faxed the same day I made the request. My experience with the Institute was very positive. Staff members, doctors, and technicians were all friendly, responsive, and professional. All procedures were explained clearly. Dr. Rowe is highly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Yes, I had several tests but how else do complex symptoms get understood? I'd be very uncomfortable with a diagnosis that wasn't in part determined by objective data."

"There are times you have to wait in an office and feel it is just because you are in a cattle call. Not with Dr. Rowe. You have to wait, but you understand when he is with you that you have his full and undivided attention. I went to 3 Neurologists before I found one I trusted. The other 2 dismissed me without an exam, but Dr. Rowe took the time and finally found my diagnosis. I also went through his sleep lab, something I hate to do, but have to because of my sleep apnea. I have been to many sleep labs in my day, but this is the first one that I felt comfortable and was able to sleep. The staff was so gentle and gracious, I felt at home. Very professional and the room and bed was clean and comfortable. Add to that on-site MRI and lab, it is a great one stop shop with great customer service and quality care."
