About Us

Rowan Diagnostic Clinic, PA (RDC) is an independent, physician-owned, multi-specialty group with a strong history of serving Rowan and the surrounding counties from our office in Salisbury, North Carolina.

Our providers are carefully chosen considering competence, training, experience, and exemplary character. Each physician is board-certified in his or her specialty and constantly strives to improve RDC’s high standards, quality, and service.

History

RDC has existed in its present legal form since 1971, but its founding physicians were providing care to the community as far back as 1955.

Until 1998, Rowan Diagnostic Clinic was comprised exclusively of general internists. Recognizing the evolving healthcare needs of the community, the practice made a strategic decision to expand into a multi-specialty medical group. This growth helped support the local hospital by providing a strong, stable foundation for recruiting and retaining highly qualified specialists. Equally important, the expansion enables patients to coordinate their medical care more easily within an integrated healthcare organization, improving continuity, communication, and overall access to comprehensive services.

Our Belief

RDC believes strongly in providing continuity of care to its patients. All patients should be seen as soon as possible by their PCP when being discharged from an inpatient facility.

We Welcome New Patients

Whether for primary or specialty care, we welcome new patients to Rowan Diagnostic Clinic. Additionally, our specialists are available for consultation and coordinated evaluation of patients whose primary care physicians or specialists are outside of RDC. When appropriate, we perform recommended examinations and present treatment options in collaboration with the referring provider, ensuring the patient returns to their physician for continued, ongoing care.

Prompt Attention to Care

Medical concerns can arise unexpectedly, sometimes overnight. Patients are encouraged to call the office to request an appointment with their internist; if scheduling does not allow, we will arrange a visit with the on-call physician or a nurse practitioner. For less urgent issues, such as routine medication management or blood pressure checks, care may be appropriately managed by one of our nurse practitioners under physician supervision.

We Analyze Your Needs Carefully

Ease of access to diagnostic and treatment services is important to both physicians and patients. To better serve our patients, RDC ancillary services include IV infusion therapy, Pulmonary Function Tests, Endoscopy/Colonoscopy, and many others.
