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.

Dr Bowman has been very helpful with our special needs child. In our case her observations, suggestions, referrals & treatments have always been in line with our child’s needs. She explains everything & takes her time to make sure all issues are addressed. I take comfort in knowing she herself is the mother of a special needs child, it gives her the ability to not only act her part as a Dr but she has also walked a similar path and understands the struggles related.

She is not at all a doctor I would recommend to any parents, especially to those seeking help for their special needs child like me. She doesn't explain much of anything and doesn't seem to have any real solutions for serious issues. I will be looking for a new primary doctor for my daughter.

Dr, Bowman has a child with special needs and is clearly jaded in her response to others wondering what future prognosis there may be for their child. She comes across as unsympathetic/cold and that her personal path is undoubtedly the same or worse that her patients might traverse. Her assessments around our child were 200% wrong; consider her opinion as a point of data not truth. Given all the fantastic doctors in our journey would NOT recommend.

My experience with Dr. Bowman has been truly a blessing. Its ALL about the well-being of your child!! Being young and a first time mother to not only a beautiful princess but a special needs child, having Dr. Bowman as her primary physician has given me life; she is very involved in my daughters care and I appreciate ALL of the love and encouragement she has shared with both my family and I. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Bowman, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for everything!! 3
