Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I’m a new patient of Dr Bowers but he treated my husband and myself like we were treasured patients! He is very professional but with the ease of a longtime friend!! I will recommend him to anyone who needs heart health! I’m so thankful to be his patient!

Great Surgeon !
One year ago today Dr. Bowers saved my life. He’s the most amazing doctor and surgeon with a great bedside manner. He agreed to a surgery to put aartificial heart valve in me. My artery was in stenosis, and my ejection fraction went below 5% while in surgery, he got the heart valve in approximately 13 minutes. It normally takes about 20 minutes .He placed it in and my ejection fraction raised and they knew I was gonna make it, I’m so grateful for him he stayed before going off for Christmas to do my surgery. I could never recommend any other doctor .He’s a gift from God ,&the best ?10 stars! Louie Perez.

Louie Perez – Dec 22, 2023

I took my father to Dr. Bowers for a valve procedure. On the day of my dad’s pre-procedure assessment, Dr. Bowers was running late. We waited for him in the exam room for over 3½ hours, past lunch, and were told by his nurse not to leave, even to get lunch. His staff is rude, and one nurse in particular seems oblivious to the patients’ needs. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Bowers ran 2 hours late, and I overheard the staff say that it was due to business. During the procedure, I waited in the waiting area for another 2 hours, while Dr. Bowers came out numerous times to talk to other families even though my dad was listed second in line on the board. Finally, I went back to the recovery area to ask a nurse about my father's status. Dr. Bowers came over when he saw me come in, told me that he was unable complete the procedure, and went on to say that my dad had had a good life! A number of highly-recognized interventional cardiologists are in the city. He is not one I would recommend.

I was very lucky to get to know Dr. Bruce Bowers one year ago in mid 2019 and to be treated by him since then from my heart problems. He is immensely gifted, capable, competent, compassionate, and has the best demeanor. Also, the office staff members are to be commended, they are professional and cordial. I highly recommend heart patients to rely on Dr. Bowers and his team without any hesitation.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN! My last visit with Dr. Bruce Bowers was excellent as always. That's why I followed him to this new location. Moreover, it is great to know that he is now with this Heart Hospital. - The hospital and the Personnel are great. I will return as per Dr. Bower's request in December 2020. Hans Schnitzler.

We were very fortunate that Dr. Bowers was referred to our family during our "mini crisis." Always look forward to my visit with Dr. Bowers and his Staff. Treated so professionally and with genuine care and concern. Dr. Bowers always has something positive to say and inquires about what you have been up to and about your family. Very patient with answering my questions. I leave the appointment feeling very uplifted. So grateful and thankful that I am in the care of Dr. Bowers.
