Laura Maiolo and Dr. Angela Rowe's relationship began in the spring of 2006. Laura had been having problems with her knee for quite some time. She had extreme difficulties walking up and down steps. Since the very first office visit, Dr. Rowe impressed Laura with her compassionate and caring attitude. "She immediately greeted me with a cheerful smile and extended her hand while introducing herself. Dr. Rowe sincerely listened to my concerns and really understood my pain and frustrations."

After reviewing an MRI of Laura’s knee and discussing Laura’s options, together they decided it would be best to schedule surgery.  Laura was very nervous the day of her surgery; however, Dr. Rowe was very personable not only with her patient, but also with her family and their emotions. Laura is doing much better because of Dr. Rowe’s help and motivation. “I have had such a good experience having Dr. Rowe as my physician; we’ve already begun discussing surgery for my other knee."
