The wait time is worth it!!! Went to several doctors who said nothing was wrong...he looked at MRI and immediately saw the problem and rushed to get the problem solved...

I had an appointment with him, instead his PA Jessica tried to play doctor and didn't have a clue about the surgery, the recovery or what to do for the pain. She got mad when I said I was paying for a doctors visit not a scolding g from a PA..... Behaved inappropriately and insulting

Dr Lowder, though maybe a competent neurosurgeon, came across as mentally unstable. He had a rambling, pressured speech and seemed fully manic. He was also irritable and critical of other physicians I have seen. Snide comments were made which made my wife and me very uncomfortable. We left the appointment with no intention of returning. I am curious if others have had similar experiences.

This is the rudest doctor I have ever seen. Does not want to hear anything you have to say. Don't waste your time for this unconsiderate person who calls himself a doctor. Waited to see himm for over 2 hours!!!

Dr, Lowder was the best thing to happen to me. He did my surgery and it was a great relief to have the pain gone. He was wonderful keeping my family informed on my progress and his bedside manner was EXCELLENT!
