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.

Great doctor
Patient & always listens to me. Gives what tests I need and makes me feel like he cares about me as a person. Has been available by phone when needed. Would recommend to anyone.

Dr Bowling sit down and talk to me like a friend. Talk with me about my health and medications. I was very pleased with every staff member and my doctor.

He doesn't seem as bad as everyone has said. And we'll just have to visit more as the 14th of February was my first visit..

I have a lot to say so my review will be in two posts. I don't usually write bad reviews, but I feel it is imperative, with Dr. Schmidt retiring and all of his clients looking for a new family doctor, to speak about my families multiple experiences with Dr. Bowling's lack of care and negligence.  My grandpa was one of those clients that were moved to Dr. Bowling after Dr. Schmidt retired.  My grandpa was suffering from an upper respiratory issue, including uncontrollable coughing, fatigue, fever, and body aches.  He went to the ER in Aurora, where he was NOT tested for covid. They did, thankfully, x-ray his lungs.  He then went to see Dr. Bowling to figure out what was going on.  Again, he was not tested for covid and was sent home with just a z-pack. Over the next three weeks, my grandpa has been deathly sick, losing weight, and unable to get his cough under control.  Every time Dr. Bowling was called, he would call in another script for cough medicine, saying this one will be strong

He is very cold and is so uptight that I bet he could make a diamond. I have had nothing but poor encounters with him when assisting others to see him.
