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.

Last week of October 2022 I returned to the ER after a carotid endarterectomy surgery on the 20th and Dr Bowman treated me I like to thank my positive reviews count because I am a retired inspector for over 40 years of aerospace and defense. I give her five stars she checks all the boxes and is an exceptional physician. I would accept her as my primary care any day.

EXCEPTIONAL Care. I was choking to death Post OP from hiccups following triple by-pass Open Heart surgery. I couldn't keep my airway open to breathe so I was hyper-ventilating for air and in a panic when arriving at the ER. Dr. Bowman calmed me and restored my breathing to normal and knocked down the painful and debilitating hiccups saving me from a disaster.

I have a history of documented kidney stones, and am currently trying to pass one. I went in with massive pain, and I even was diagnosed by her with kidney stone. I'm allergic to 3 different medications, that's it. She felt because of that there was zero she could or would prescribe for me for A KIDNEY STONE. everyone knows they hurt like birth! The nurse even went and asked if she could prescribe me something for pain and I heard her rudley snap she wouldn't prescribe me anything, terrible doc.
