Insurances accepted

Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.

Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice

4.8 Jan 18, 2025 Dr. Gowan is straight forward and isn't one to sugar coat anything. That's important because If I'm not ok, I don't want him to make me feel like I am. He has set up a treatment plan for me that he feels is appropriate for my condition, and I trust him 100 %.

5.0 Jan 16, 2025 Very informative
5.0 Jan 7, 2025 First of all he makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. For someone who has cancer it's a blessing. He shoots straight from the hip in a positive manner.

4.8 Nov 5, 2024 Seemed extremely competent with a great "bedside manner". He's a compliment to your incredible group of associates. And please, not to distract from this focus, but I've NEVER encountered a person who wasn't gracious, attentive, and focused cheerfully on the tasks of care, from staff in the hallways directing patients to their needed care desks to the ladies at the eurology counter. 5 star levels of service.
