    • Jeanie Bellingham, WA 12.18.13

      We were very lucky to meet Dr. Gow and he saved our son's life in 2007. He had great sense of humor. He was professional, very responsive, humble, and genuine. I was worried and scared as a mother of a sick 10 months old baby. We trusted Dr. Gow through these difficult moments. My child is a healthy and happy 1st grader now. Dr. Gow is a great surgeon! Thank you, Dr. Gow!

    • Shawn Columbus, GA 07.09.12

      Dr. Gow is the greatest! When he was in Atlanta he saved my son's life. My son was born with a rare condition and Dr. Gow was there with me every step of the way. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness, caring, and professionalism. We will never forget you and can never thank you enough for giving him a chance at life. He is the best!
