He had been seeing my mother for serveral years and instead of treating the source of the problem writes a prescription. I found my mother in crisis because of the over perscription of these medications. Apparently he is more interested in getting you out of his office then actually caring about his patients.

Dr. Bowie was prompt. I was early and even seen before my scheduled appointment time. I felt he was very accurate with his diagnosis and his treatment was spot on! His staff was really nice and went out of their way to schedule me with a specialist right away. I recommend him to anyone.

Spends about a total of 5 minutes with me before trying to shoo me out of his office. Does not seem like he cares at all about my health issue and even inaccurately read the results of a blood test I had taken. I've seen him for about a year and a half and he still has no diagnosis for my issue. My whole family has had the same exact experience with this doctor and needless to say we are NOT going back.

I've moved twice since I started seeing Dr. Bowie, and he's still my doctor. I think I'd have to move out of state to stop seeing him.
