Angela W. Rowe, D.O.


Angela W. Rowe, D.O.

Angela Rowe has the distinction of being the first and only female orthopedic surgeon in Blair County. Dr. Rowe’s goal is to return her patients to their normal lifestyle. She chose orthopedics because of the variety of injuries and musculoskeletal problems many individuals experience and her desire, and ability, to better their quality of life. Dr. Rowe has a special interest in joint replacement as well as general orthopedics.

Born in Hong Kong, China, Dr. Rowe moved to the United States at the age of six. She grew up in Rockville, MD and moved to Pennsylvania in 1999. She resides in Hollidaysburg, PA with her husband and son. Dr. Rowe is very active in community organizations. She is also an enthusiastic gardener, a gourmet cook and loves outdoor sports, especially fishing - but her most treasured moments are those spent with her family.

Dr. Rowe has provided relief for many of her patients. Visit our patient success story page for more information.
