Rowena McBeath, M.D., Ph.D., Philadelphia PA

Dr. McBeath was courteous, caring, thorough, and a joy to see. She laid out a clear plan from the get go which I appreciated immensely. Being a provider myself, it was nice to not be rushed out the door and to have my case explained to me in detail. Moreover, her office staff was kind enough to schedule me as an add on appointment on the day I called. I thoroughly recommend her and all of her colleagues at her practice

She has been awesome with my wife diane. Caring! I don’t understand any of these bad reviews. She was not rushing and my wife is in less pain.

Dr Rowena McBeath kept me waiting in a tiny room for over an hour. When she came into the room, she was too much in a hurry to listen to my concerns. She must have rushed into the room where I was at least twice and left twice before she was able to address my concerns (I should have filmed this chaotic behavior of her running all over the place, because it’s hard to explain or tell anyone to try to imagine it)! When she found the time to complete my visit, Dr McBeath gave me a paper and told me to go to physical therapy, but she forgot (or didn’t have the time) to tell me why she was sending me there. However, my rheumatologist told me what I needed to have done, and it wasn’t what she had sent me to physical therapy for. I saw McBeath twice, and these were the 2 worst doctor visits of my entire life. Besides being in a rush, not listening or explaining what she was doing, I found her bedside manner to be demeaning and insulting. And her physical therapist had no time to show me anything until I insisted on it. Because my visits to this Doctor were so bad, my rheumatologist gave me a referral stating explicitly what my treatment needed to be. And I took that referral to a hand specialist (who believes in being courteous, pleasant, listening and explaining). And I only waited 15 min to see him! What a surprise! And what a relief. The phila hand center in the St Clare Bldg at St Mary’s Hospital in Langhorne, PA doesn’t send patients emails to fill out about their visits, and I can clearly understand why.

If I could give Dr McBeath a zero, I would! She kept me waiting in a tiny, uncomfortable room for over an hour, and finally entered with an attitude that she’s the best and the best don’t apologize! She’s in too much of a hurry (rushing from one room and one patient to another) to listen or care about what any one person is saying. I was there twice. And I’ll remember it as the two worst doctor visits of my life. She didn’t explain what she was doing. And when I questioned her, her reply was demeaning. If i learned anything from McBeath, it was how to say NO, STOP! And EXPLAIN WHAT YOU’RE DOING! McBeath sees patients in a hand and shoulder facility that people with pain or concerns should avoid at all costs.

Dr Mcbeath is an amazing surgeon. She is so friendly and so talented. She has made me feel at peace throughout the 10 surgeries she has performed so far to save my hand / arm after an extremely severe blast injury. I am so grateful to have her as my surgeon. Highly recommend!

Dear Dr. McBeath.

Thank you for your amazing work.
You saved my daughter's finger.
May God bless you.

Dr Mcbeath performed surgery on both of my hands. Was in intense pain for months before the surgery. A few months recovery after each surgery and following her directions I am completely pain free. Dr Mcbeath is an excellent Surgeon in her field. She takes her time with her patience, well informative, and I would recommend her highly.
