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.

Excellent Doc, Nice Demeanor
Dr Stowers presents non-surgical options in a straightforward, clear way, easy to understand. He is caring and pleasant as is his staff. I have had excellent treatment for many torn tendons in the past, and look forward to resolving the new issues as easily. 100% TRUST.

I had pain in my right leg, below my knee.
I had difficulty expressing what I was experiencing. He told me not to worry and immediately began examining my leg. He even showed me pictures to help me better understand why I was having the pain I experienced. His concern, demeanor and advice was so genuine. I was so pleased to have him as a physician.

Above & beyond expectations, well spoken
Every question was answered brilliantly. On the day of my appointment two young Drs were shadowing Dr Stowers, I felt they were receiving one of our most important life lessons- kindness. His assistant pulled up images as if my magic, very efficient office.

Very Thorough
Dr Stowers nurse came in and answered many questions, provided information and insured that we understood available options. Dr Stowers came in and conducted a very thorough examination. He asked targeted questions while conducting exam. He was able determine that much of my knee problems were radiating from my hips and buttocks causing the radiating pain that I had experienced. I hadn’t received such a thorough exam previously that showed such causation. I will participate in physical therapy to start and determine next steps after that. I am relieved that Dr Stowers was able to identify the initial root of my problem and I look forward to further relief.

Back pain
When I started seeing Dr Stowers, I was in constant back pain. Tried steroid shots. They only helped for a short time, and did not give total relief, just eased the pain some. Through a series of prolo shots, my back only gives me slight pain when I stand too long or do a lot of lifting. Dr Stowers and his staff were always caring, took their time with me, answered all questions. I would recommend him highly.

Awesome Doctor!!
A year after Achilles Tendon surgery I was still in a lot of pain. It was recommended that I needed another surgery to fix the tears. Made an appointment to see Dr. Stowers and he started PRP injections. No surgery needed. He is a Miracle Doctor!
