Linda S Cowan, MD

Dr. Cowan is not my OB but I went to her office for my anatomy scan because my OB doesn’t do it at her office. I liked her, she was honest and up front. Even though she is not my OB and not obligated to help me with anything she went over my whole diet with me which is something my OB has not done and she helped me understand what I can do for exercise safely during pregnancy. The only complaint I have is that the wait was very very long and there is no parking nearby that’s over 1 hour besides one expensive lot behind the office which they do not validate for. I got a parking ticket because my wait for my ultrasound was so long and they couldn’t give me a good estimate of how long it would be.

Dr. Cowan is a complete joke. First of all, I ONLY came to this office for an ultrasound. Not for medical advice. I have my own OB for that. Well, after waiting an hour for our ultrasound (of which my husband took off work to see) they made me speak with a nutritionist, and then made us wait again for the doctor to «review» the ultrasound. Both the nutritionist and Dr. Cowan were incredibly rude. I was about 16 weeks at the time, and couldn’t even keep water down. They essentially told me I was overweight, should be working out 3x a day (mind you, neither of these women are exactly «fit»), and that even having the occasional cookie is not okay for a pregnant woman. As thought I could even get out of bed bc I was so sick. What REALLY put me over the edge though, was when I told both women I didn’t want the flu shot and even backed it up with research, and then they billed my insurance for it anyway! Complete crock. Once my new insurance goes through, I will not be returning. Save yourself the stress and skip this one.

I went here today for my NT scanning, and from the moment I walked in everyone was really really nice and helpful. They took their time with the scanning and I felt in great hands the whole time. Thank you ladies, see you guys in January:)

Facility is absolutely disgusting… it’s not the old building that bothers me but even their blood pressure machine, waiting room chairs etc are nasty. Also what kind of doc’s office charges $ 1 for water. Seriously? Way to exploit pregnant women. Also if you have a copay and try to pay by credit card there’s $ 1 charge. I’ve never been to a doc’s office like this. Also they over book so the wait is very long. I’ll definitely be changing doctors.
UPDATE: they moved to a new location. Decided to give them another try at the request of my dr. Nope still the same just different location.

Dr. Cowan is a nice person but I waited three hours in a room to get some answers.

These front desk girls need to re-​up on their HIPAA knowledge. I came in for my ultrasound and made sure of it that my tech didnt reveal my twins’s genders because my sis in law is throwing us a party on Sunday. So im waiting in the waiting room and some other lady (whom i didnt see today) mentions my name to another worker and announces the genders to her out loud. Loud enough for the waiting room to hear (because I did). Now the party is ruined thanks to her.

Came here with my wife and today was suppose to be the last ultrasound and I didn’t even get to see my baby boy at all and the worst part is that I didn’t even get a picture of my baby that’s so nice of them right… I’m really disappointed even missed work for this moment to see my boy but the nurse was rude and just «said thank u just wait in the waiting room» I couldn’t even ask for nothing just kicked out of the room. if it was going to be like this why even waste my time and miss work for a rude nurse to treat us with really bad service…

I’ve had the pleasure of being seen by both genetic counselors here (Melissa and Lady Jo) and found them to be incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable and diligent. Both of them have an easy demeanor and good sense of humor.
I’ve never noticed any sense of uncleanliness in the office and think it’s a warm environment where the staff clearly gets along. The ultrasound techs are the best I’ve ever seen and had great bedside manner.
This office is a gem. Any wait I’ve had has always been well worth it for quality of care.

Hello my name is Erica, I LOVE this place. I am 34 weeks today, when I walk in the office, its always pleasant, with many smiles. It’s very clean. I have NEVER waited long.Dr. Megan Economidis has been AMAZING to me, my baby & my husband. I am high risk because of my blood pressure, but every since I have started seeing Dr. Megan she’s given me a safe, better medication that has kept my blood pressure normal. I feel GREAT! All the doctors are good there, but I have had the privilege of having Dr. Megan treat me. The whole staff is wonderful. I have also had the privilege of Chanel Martinez working closely with me doing all my vitals ect, preparing me for the my doc. She is so comforting an patient with me (sometimes I come feeling tired an emotional.), shes always encouraging an uplifting she always does or says the right things. The Ultra Sound Techs! Whooohoooo big shots out to them too, Cece & Natalie THEE BEST! I’m telling you this place is flawless! I always feel good about every appointment. They’ve got my back! Big shots out to Belinda as well too many to name, I love them all! After the baby I wish I could just keep seeing them for everything… seriously!

My wife and I have been here twice so far and each time, we’ve had to wait over an hour to be seen. It seems as if they triple or quadruple book each time slot and don’t have enough staff to accommodate. Both times we’ve come at 8:30am to avoid waiting only to find many other families here with us. The feel here is very much like going through an assembly line. You get passed on from the main waiting room, to a side waiting room, and then to the ultrasound room, only to wait more. Very little personal touch/​bedside manner. We wouldn’t recommend coming here. Seems like the concern here is to book as many patients as possible just to have them wait. Have had much better service elsewhere.

My name is bonnie. I took my 5 day old baby girl to see Dr. Linda Cowan, after the hospital my baby was born in and her pediatrician could not diagnosis my baby, they only knew something was wrong. So our first appointment with Dr. Cowan in the genetics department which was at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, My baby was properly diagnosised with a rare syndrome. Dr. Cowan was very compassionate, caring, and extreamly knowledgeable. she spent as much time as we needed to try to grasp what we were up against and absorb the information. She also advised us of how to start the process of health management.
For the next few years our visits were again at our own pace, we never felt rushed with our barrage of questions, even on her most busiest of days we were made to feel like we were her only patients. I even remember Dr. Cowan calling me back quickly when I called her multiple times with fears and concerns that first year.
This woman walked me through the most difficult time of my life by educating me and offering me the information I needed to know about my child’s syndrome and I am forever grateful for her going beyond the call of duty! If by chance Dr Cowan reads this I’d like to say, Dr. Cowan You were a Godsend to me!
Recommend her? You bet your life I will recommend her!

My wife and I are having our first baby. With my wife over 40 and with us knowing nothing about the what to expect, our worries that our baby may not be healthy is constantly weighing on our minds. Admittedly, Dr. Cowan’s office is not located in the newest of buildings which gave us some reservation at first. But as soon as we met Melissa, our genetic counselor, we were able to relax. Melissa answered all our questions, even the remedial ones; explained everything clearly; coached us on proper nutrition; allowed me time to translate things to my wife; and seemed willing to spend as much time with us as we needed.
We then had «our» ultrasound and the quality service continued. The ultrasound technician (unfortunately, I don’t recall her name) was more than willing to answer my questions as she was conducting the ultrasound. She soon began narrating where she was going and what she was looking for. Given that we are still very concerned for the health of our baby, her bedside manner and pace of work provided much comfort. I hope I don’t get her in trouble but she also provided us a couple more photos just because I expressed interest in a couple of views.
We also had an amnio the same day. Dr. Cowan was wonderful as well. Firm yet caring; professional yet with a sense of humor. My wife and I left Dr. Cowan’s office feeling less stressed about our baby’s well being. I can honestly say that between the worrying and morning sickness, we were able to genuinely smile for the first time in 3 months. We felt we were in good hands and had a much better idea of what to expect. The only thing I would change is their location. They deserve to be in a building that has much nicer public restrooms (doors was only 24″ wide, if that, and not much bigger than an airplane lavatory).

Dr. Cowan, and a «genetic counselor» she has/​had on staff by the first name of Melissa are the two WORST so-​called medical professionals I have *ever* come across in my entire life, and I venture to say that I probably ever will.
Neither of them treated my husband’s and my questions with respect, and instead terrified and bullied us essentially into testing and a procedure that turned out to be unnecessary — and its predicted results were absolutely wrong! We were stressed out and made to feel incredibly bad for over two weeks while we waited for results (they didn’t even call when they said they would — we had to repeatedly call the office ourselves), and the fear of their morbid predictions actually lingered much longer afterward, because they had seriously traumatized us.
The other thing that is a total shame about this doctor is that she actually sits on a CA state medical board, which makes major healthcare decisions for ALL pregnant women within the state!
Also, the staff in this clinic match the management: some of these women were on their cell phones using foul language when I was there, talked to and treated me like I was a complete idiot, and were either clueless, rude and/​or unhelpful at the front desk.

The dirtiest medical office I have ever been to in my life. I brought this to the tech’s attention and they said the table was «just cleaned» and totally blew me off. (See the photos I uploaded, doesn’t look «just cleaned» to me.) It’s a miracle I didn’t get lice from that disgusting pillow in the exam room.
Be prepared to wait — my appointment took over two hours. The actual ultrasound was about 10 minutes.
They also administered the most painful flu shot I have ever received resulting in a huge bruise on my arm. I get a flu shot every year and this was not right.
The icing on the cake was that some gangbanger TAGGED both the exam table and the curtain in the exam room.
Stay away for the love of God.

The doctor is ok but the wait is insanely LONG. They move you from the front waiting room to the back waiting room, and sometimes, to another private waiting room! They said they were short handed one of the days, but both days were hours long. And I mean 1.5 — 3 hours!
They also did one of my tests a week early, which alarmed my ob gyn. They originally scheduled me for an ultrasound, but tried to sell me on an amnio and I accepted. They sent me home and had me come back a week later to do the amnio, but come to find out, they did it too early! Why didn’t they have me come back 2 weeks later?
There was confusion with the front desk, and with so many people working, my info kept getting shuffled around. I brought an insurance approval slip and one receptionist took it and the other one tried to tell me I was not approved.
The genetics counselor was nice. The info was a bit overwhelming because I didn’t expect it at that visit, but I did have a good opinion about her. She called me with my results and I was happy to hear the good news.
