Arrogant, dismissive, disrespectful. Recommended my loved one go to hospice because of a feeding tube. Three months later with speech therapy, patient learned to swallow again and feeding tube was removed. He set patient up to die. Didn't they were fit to live. Didn't care that this person was loved dearly by family. Treated the family with contempt and just wanted the patient out of the hospital I suspect insurance was hounding them to discharge the patient. This doctor and the team of hospitalists are the absolute worst that I have every experience.

Bowers doesn't deserve the title of doctor. He doesn't listen, cut me off before I could finish asking a question and has no bedside manner. His arrogant demeanor is an affront to the the care givers who treat patients with compassion. I'm in the process of removing my sister from his care.
