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.

After receiving a positive COVID result and being symptomatic, I had a telehealth visit with Dr. Bowling. He took time to ask me about my condition, the nature and severity of symptoms, and current treatment. He showed genuine concern for my wellbeing and provided excellent care, even via telemedicine. The treatments that he recommended and prescribed for my symptoms have helped to decrease the pain and discomfort associated with the illness. I would certainly use his services again if needed.

New patient with Dr. Bowling. Front staff very friendly and welcoming. No waiting. Office was inviting and modern. Doc was super knowledgeable and thorough, very easy to talk with and genuinely devoted to patient care. Doc even called immediately after I left to verify the scripts were going to the correct pharmacy. Amazing 5 star.

I had my first visit with Dr. Bowling today and I am thrilled beyond belief. First time that a Dr. sat with me and took the time to learn all about me and my family history. He discussed the results of my blood work result by result and then conducted a proper physical exam. His office is spotless and the staff is extremely nice and welcoming. I am so happy that we have found him! If you are looking for a PCP, he is top notch!

First visit with Dr. Bowling. He is one of the best family medicine physicians I've met. He is knowledgeable, informative, patient and truly a doctor who cares about his patients health. He took the time to go over my medical history, discuss labs and determine a health plan best suited for me. Would strongly recommend.

Great Family Medicine Physician – Mar 02, 2021

Dr. Bowling was a breath of fresh air when it comes to health care in South Florida. He is knowledgeable & friendly. He is professional &* very well educated. He is an excellent listener & spends as much time with you as you require. His office is exceptionally clean. Wait time was minimal. Front desk staff is friendly & personable. His nurse is exceptional, as well (& as a nurse who starts many IV's, I can tell you, he is 1 of the best with needle sticks I've encountered; so, if you are needle phobic @ all...he is your guy). Recommend this doctor & his practice wholeheartedly.

Dr. Bowling is a caring physician and, as a new patient, I appreciate the time he took with me. Clean environment, friendly team, and efficient patient care. Convenient to the Wilton Manors/Oakland Park/Ft Lauderdale Area.

If you are looking for a new Primary Care Physician, look no further than Dr. Derrick Bowling. His practice is amazing from the office staff, attending nurse, to the expert care that Dr. Bowling himself provides. The office is conveniently located to Wilton Manors, Oakland Park & Fort Lauderdale with tons of parking as well as a bright, safe office environment. What an amazing resource to have available in the community.

Dr. Derrick Bowling and his team are kind and caring and answer any and all questions. Dr Bowling took time to get to know me and my medical history and concerns. He’s also reachable anytime via his web link. I’m very impressed with his credentials and medical knowledge, and glad my roommate and I found him. Office hours are great. They are practicing social distancing during the pandemic. The office may be small, but Dr. Bowling and his team have big, caring hearts, and want only the best care for their patients. I just moved here but will gladly refer others looking for a PCP to go see Dr. Bowling.

One of my dreaded things about relocating is finding a new doctor but I count myself very lucky to have found Dr. Bowling at DB MD. He and his staff, Steve and Travis, makes their office what a doctor's office was meant to be. Caring, kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, trustworthy, understanding, uses common sense and takes the time needed to listen to any and all concerns you may have. They are easily accessible and responds when you need them, via their portal, phone or otherwise. Steve, at the front desk, has gone above and beyond to help me sort out the maze we call insurance, prior to my visit and Travis carefully takes the time to do your intake and get accurate vitals for the doctor. Dr. Bowling and his staff truly keeps your best interest forefront and I also appreciate the laid-back atmosphere, vs the rush and craziness of most offices. I'm really glad I found Dr. Bowling/DB MD and highly recommend this practice to anyone. Go there and you’ll feel like family.

Dr Bowling and the entire staff at DBMD is amazing. Dr Bowling’s attentive, detailed, and personalized approach to health and wellness care is refreshing. My consultations with Dr Bowling are truly one-on-one, and the fact that he is so warm and engaging is a huge bonus. So happy to have found Dr Bowling, Steve, and entire team. It’s been years since I’ve had this level of healthcare and attention.

Horrible practice, left foot does not know what the right foot is doing there, completely frustrating experience. I wasted my time going there for potential testosterone therapy. Question their pathetic bedside manne,r and they cut you loose. very high strung. Just beware. You have better options.

Very knowledgeable and caring doctor. He took his time, clearly answered questions, gave suggestions, and communicated very well. It was also quite apparent he keeps up with the latest research and studies, and doesn't just practice medicine that is still based on whatever was current when he graduated. A great doctor, and great experience overall.

Because of Covid I hadn’t been to my regular doctors back home since March. Dr Bowling was recommended to me by one of his patients in Ft Lauderdale, where I now have a home too. I felt safe there , with the precautions they had in place , to protect me! Dr Bowling’s exam was best I have ever had; he’s friendly, professional , attentive and I could tell he cares very much! Its just he, his manager and a lab technician in a building for only Dr Bowling. You park in front of building and call or text and Steve, manager, lets you know when previous patient leaves and you can come in. So safe! It was a complete exam and Dr Bowling even found a nodule on my neck I didn’t know I had . He made appts with specialist for me to see . I felt I got the best care from A doctor who sincerely cares for his patients! It made an appointment with a doctor a totally nice experience. I’m so glad I found him and made that call!
